This rule-related information collection request (ICR) is being proposed in accordance with the proposed rulemaking, Updates Related to the Use of Ozone-Depleting Substances as Process Agents. In the proposed rule, EPA is proposing to establish recordkeeping and reporting requirements for uses of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) as process agents and to update definitions to reflect current practice. Reporters subject to the proposed rule, if finalized, would be required to report information concerning these process agent uses, including consumption and emissions data, using the Ozone-Depleting Substances Tracking System (ODSTS), or another format specified by EPA.
There is an increase in incremental burden as a result of a proposed rule, which would establish recordkeeping and reporting requirements for uses of ozone-depleting substances as process agents.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
