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.
