ICR Change Worksheet

The National Refrigerant Recycling and Emissions Reduction Program

OMB Control No. 2060-0256

Describe the change in requirements:

1. Requiring reclaimers to provide updated contact information

2. Requiring reclaimers to provide the amount of each refrigerant reclaimed in their annual reporting

How many people will be affected?

There are approximately 60 EPA certified reclamation companies in the United States.

If there is a burden, what is the burden? Break this down by people, instances, and total.

There is no increase in burden from these two reporting requirement changes. This ICR already considers the burden to reclaimers from annual reporting to EPA. These two changes clarify that certain information is required, thus eliminating the need for back-and-worth communication between EPA and reclamation companies. Additionally, by requiring reclaimers to provide updated contact information, EPA will be able to contact reclaimers in an expeditious manner when or if there are problems with a reclaimer’s annual report.
