Title: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE INFORMATION PROGRAM (ARIP)
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 03/19/1991
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/19/1991
Terms of Clearance: OMB has approved this ICR through May, 1993, for the evaluation of potential accidental release regulations under the Clean Air Act. OMB does not believe that the information has practical utility for severa other purposes cited in the supporting statement including: 1) helping state and local planning committees plan for emergencies 2) detecting trends of accidents at facilities (This information is already available from the National Response Center) and, 3) increasing management awareness of accidental release risks. If EPA needs to extend this information collection request for the approved purpose, EPA needs to show exactly how this information is being used and why it will still be useful in developing the accidenta release regulations. This collection is not approved as an ongoing collection for any othjer purpose. OIRA believes that an information collection request for most other purposes should be much less burdensome (if such a collection is justified at all). If EPA needs to collect this information for any other reason after that date, including inclusion in any database, it must demonstrate that this information has practical utility.
