Short Statement: New forms will be used. Although the Agency has had "forms" as part of guidance on how to report continuous releases, the forms were not approved by OMB for use in submitting information. During the course of renewals, some respondents have either requested or suggested that continuous release reporting forms be made available. Recipients of the continuous release reporting reports have also suggested that forms would make processing information easier. We expect that once the forms are approved and available for "downloading" from EPA's web site that we will have close to 100 percent use of the forms for reporting continuous releases. We estimate that there will be an overall estimated savings of 167 hours for industry.
