According to 5
CFR 1320.18(f), OMB is approving this emergency processing
information collection request (ICR) for 90 days. EPA shou stay in
touch with the staff at DOE running the survey to determine if the
survey will go beyond the 90 days and thus require the submittal of
another ICR to extend the expiration date. We find that this ICR
meets the "unanticipated event" criterion of 5 CFR 1320.18(a) and
qualifies for emergency review. Given that EPA's asbestos questions
will be a module in DOE's survey, it is appropriate to have a
separate "burden box" statement and OMB control number.
