This information
collection is approved for a period of three years. Prior to the
next submission of this ICR to OMB for approval, EPA should
undertake a review of the need for continuous area monitoring, and
of whether there may be other less burdensome approaches that would
provide the public with equal or greater protection in the event of
major chemical releases. If the Agency determines that such
approaches exist, EPA should undertake a rulemaking to revise the
requirements of this collection accordingly, or revise these
requirements through a related rulemaking, before the expiration of
this renewal of the collection.
