This ICR as amended is approved with the understanding that EPA will submit for OMB review and approval any labelling policy that increases burden by more than 5,000 burden hours. OMB will review these amendments generally within 10 working days. EPA shall provide an estimate of the burden, statement of need and any other information that would help OMB conduct its review under the PRA. In addition, EPA needs to add the PRA notice disclosing burden on form 8570-20. OMB is not approving the information collection associated with the proposed flammability policy. When this ICR is renewed, EPA shall examine its burden estimates and ensure that capital costs associated with testing and monitoring are included as per the revised regulations under the 1995 PRA amendments. EPA intends to submit a separate ICR for the recently promulgated amendments to the worker protection standard rules.
