This information collection request is approved for three years. OMB understands that EPA plans to further revise its burden estimates to take account of reductions in burden associated with new technologies in underground storage tank monitoring and changes in the universe of regulated facilities. At that time, EPA should also provide any additional detail to support the revised burden calculations contained in the amended submission approved today.
