Request for a Non-Substantive Change 
to an Existing Approved Information Collection
(EPA ICR No. 2330.06; OMB Control No. 2070-0179)
I. Introduction
Why is EPA Requesting a Non-Substantive Change?
EPA is requesting a non-substantive change to revise the Small Business Fee Waiver form associated with the Registration Fees ICR, to clarify the submission requirement for supporting materials to an 'upon request' basis, rather than requiring them during the initial submission.
