This ICR is
approved as amended and agreed to by the Corps of Engineers. Any
questions on race and ethnicity in the surveys will be amended to
be consistent with OMB Directive 15. Questions 10-14 and 16 will be
dropped from the environmental quality sur- vey. Page 6 of the
hazardous materials and waste storage survey will be dropped.
Question 1 of the toxic waste facility cleanup survey will be
dropped. Questions 2, 3, 14, and 19 will be drop- ped from the
flood control (PP) survey. If the Corps finds that burden estimates
have changed significantly due to changes in the form, they should
revise the burden disclosure statement. In addition, OMB's address
shall be taken out of the burden dis- closure statement in all the
surveys. If overall burden has changed significantly, the Corps
should submit an ICW to adjust the burden hour authorization. In
addition, questions 1-4 of the water conservation survey will be
dropped. Finally, the Corps should submit revised survey forms for
the amended surveys as soon as practical to OMB.
