Based on EPA's
supporting statement, guidance documents, amd public comments, the
Office of Management and Budget is approving this collection with
two conditions. First, EPA shall use the existing (1979) 6(a)(2)
policy rather than the draft proposed 6(a)(2) rule which is
expected to be proposed for public comment in 1990. Second, EPA
shall allow registrants to summarize accepted post-1983 studies by
submitting the existing study summary from the performing
laboratory and an acceptable study certification with a completed
acceptance criteria checklist. Both these conditions are imposed to
assure that this collection will be the least burdensome necessary
to fulfill the agency's mission as required under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (see 5 CFR 1320.4(b)(1)). EPA shall provide OMB final
copies of the three Phase III forms and a final copy of the ICR
including the guidance documents reflectin changes made during the
review process. These documents must be submitted before issuing
the Phase III collection. If EPA revises the burden estimate for
this collection, an Information Correction Worksheet should be
submitted to OMB with a short explanation of the change.
