PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT SUBMISSION WORKSHEET PART I: Information Collection Request
This worksheet replaces the previous OMB 83-I form for Information Collection Requests (ICRs). This worksheet is intended to help ICR preparers transition between the paper 83-I system and use of the RISC/OIRA Consolidated Information System (ROCIS) ICR Module for submitting ICRs to OMB/OIRA. This form is not intended for submission to OMB. For additional guidance on completing this worksheet please consult the two OMB guidance documents: ROCIS How To Guide for Agency Users of the ICR Module and ROCIS IC Q&A, located at: http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/download. In addition, please reference OEI’s ROCIS instructions at: http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/download or visit EPA’s ICR webpage http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/ and contact your appropriate ICR desk officer.

C. Explanation of Change in Burden
Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments reported; that is, provide a short statement addressing how the reduction in burden was achieved or why the increase in burden occurred. (If you need more space, provide a short summary here and elaborate in the Supporting Statement.)
The increase of 43 hours is due to a correction in the burden estimated for the industry. The previous ICR renewal had interpreted semi-annual requirements for temperature reports to be 0.5 times per year, when the correct interpretaion of semi-annually would be 2 times per year. This correction resulted in an estimate of 43 additional hours per year compared to the most recent ICR renewal for completing the temperature reports. No other changes in burden were identified. |
