This information
collection request (ICR) is approved for three years. OIRA commends
the Agency for undertaking a substantial effort to revise this
ICR's burden estimate. The Agency's revised burden estimates more
closely resemble those provided by the public. However, the Agency
did not include within its burden estimate the many data collection
activities (e.g., to fulfill inspection and training certification
requirements and to gather information for a plan or report)
necessary to complete the reporting requirements in this ICR.
Before submission of this ICR for renewal, EPA shall revise its
burden estimates to include these activities in accordance with OMB
regulation and guidance.
