Terms of Clearance: OMB reserves the right to review any individual request based on comments received by EPA or OMB during the 8(a) comment period. EPA will inform OMB of each new 8(a) rule publication in the Federal Register (both proposed and final) and inform OMB of major comments that pertain to the information sought. Additionally, EPA shall publish burden estimates in the preamble for each rule. If EPA promulgates more than three 8(a) rules over the next three years, it shall submit a technical amendment to reflect the change in estimated burden to industry and government. EPA shall summarize in its next ICR the actual incurred 8(a) annual burden hours. OMB encourages EPA to consider 8(a) reporting requirements in its business re-engineering for EDI with industry and to report the results of this in the next ICR. The previous approval was incorrectly noted as being for 1,940 hours, when it should have been for 276 hours.
