This ICR is
approved for eighteen months as submitted. However, EPA has agreed
to carefully examine the TSCA inventory correction policy as part
of its workgroup on the Inventory Update. EPA will involve
interested stakeholders especially those that have proposed
modifications to the corrections policy. EPA should attempt to
minimize the burden on respondents with legitimate Inventory
corrections. EPA shall examine the policy on an expedited basis and
make appropriate changes through notice and comment within the next
eighteen months. When EPA resubmits the ICR for renewal, it should
summarize its reinvention efforts including which suggested changes
the agency supports and which its rejects, with an explanation of
its actions.
