This information
collection request is approved through September 2001, subject to
the following terms of clearance. In view of the fact that this ICR
was prepared using a baseline burden that has since been amended by
the renewal of this collection on September 30, 1998, EPA should
verify that the burden inventory for this collection is accurate.
In addition, as soon as practicable, EPA should revise its burden
estimates to ensure that the testing of generator and treatment
facility waste by contractors is reflected in the hour burden in
conformance with current OMB guidance. Finally, prior to its
submission of this collection to OMB for renewal, EPA should verify
its estimates of the burden associated with this collection based
on actual implementation of the rule.
