approved for one year. EPA should use the time between this
approval and submission of an ICR to extend this collection to
develop a mechanism for verifying the accuracy of claims made in
case studies submitted under this collection. In developing such a
mechanism EPA should consider verification methods in use by other
voluntary waste or emissions reduction programs.
