Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase of 1,257 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to the larger number of affected facilities, based on the current information and reporting requirements from the RCRAInfo database. The non-labor cost burden for this renewal increased by $2,943,843. This increase was due to a miscalculation of the non-labor cost for the previous ICR. The estimate for this renewal is more consistent with past renewals. These revisions do not reflect any change in the Part B requirements; they represent instead an updated representation of the number of respondents submitting renewal applications.
