Terms of Clearance: This ICR is approved through December 2000. The Fiscal Year 1999 Information Collection Budget states that "EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response expects to eliminate more than 829,000 burden hours through recordkeeping changes in the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) program...EPA expects to promulgate a revised rule during FY 1999..." During discussions with OMB about this ICR, EPA confirmed that it is still on track to publish a final rule this fiscal year. As mentioned previously, in the ICR associated with this final rule, EPA should address all comments filed on this information collection request, in addition to those comments filed on the proposed rule and the associated ICR. EPA is again reminded that it should address OMB's 5/5/98 comments filed on the ICR associated with the proposed rule (subject to the qualification that at the time of its revision, EPA should conform with current OMB guidance regarding treatment of contractor burden). As part of its resubmission, EPA should also verify that the wage rates referenced in sections 6(b) and 6(c) of the supporting statement have been properly loaded to include overhead rates consistent with EPA and OMB guidance.
