Terms of Clearance: EPA has withdrawn the amended ICR. It would have extended the current approval, which allows EPA to conduct up to 12 focus groups, to also include approval of the draft final survey instrument and authorization for EPA to pretest the draft final instrument and then to implement the final survey. Thus, the ICR remains in effect as approved prior to submission of the amendment (ie, it continues to authorize focus groups only).
