This ICR is not
approved. In the proposed rule, EPA requested comment on several
possible approaches for notification and recordkeeping requirements
to demonstrate compliance with the universal standards. However,
this ICR did not calculate the different respondent and federal
burden of these options. Since EPA has not demonstrated that the
proposed option is the least burdensome approach, this ICR is not
consistent with 5 CFR 1320.4(b)(1). In addition, a commenter
suggests that EPA has substantially underestimated the number of
respondents and thus the total burden of these proposed
requirements. Before EPA re- submits this ICR, the Agency should
provide more justification to support its estimates.
