	Date Received in OIRA: 11/25/1997
Terms of Clearance: Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.11 the proposed revision of this collection of information is not approved. Prior to submission of the final rule, EPA should clarify whether the respondent burden that will be borne by contractors and outside consultants is contained in burden hours or is monetized and included in operation and maintenance costs. Burden that is borne by respondents' contractors should be monetized and included as part of total annual costs, and not included in the total hour burden. In addition, EPA should support its method for calculating the oil storage capacity of aboveground tanks proposed to be added in 40 CFR 112.20(f)(4). In particular, the ICR should explain the basis for excluding process water/waste water mixtures containing oil in proportions greater than 10 percent. The final ICR should also address any significant comments on PRA-related issues with respect to the changes set out in the proposed rule.
