This ICR for the
Oil Pollution Prevention Survey is Approved for one year (as
requested) with the understanding that EPA will design and conduct
a pre-test of the Survey to demonstration that requiring
respondents to reveal whether they currently have a written spill
prevention plan (i.e., whether they comply with existing
regulations) does not significantly diminish the practical utility
of the information. EPA must submit to OMB for review and approval
a written description of its demonstration that revealing
compliance with regulations will not adversely affect the purpose
of the survey, prior to conducting the full survey. OMB will
document any modifications to this ICR in the docket. OMB review of
any revised survey instrument or other change is expected to be
prompt (less than 15 working days) if the changes conform to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act. If EPA plans to make
any additional, substantive change to the survey instruments
(including the addition or deletion of questions) or the respondent
population, they must submit the changes for review and approval by
OMB. In this case, EPA should be prepared to provide information on
the burden, duplicativeness, and practical utility of any
changes.
