This ICR as
amended is approved with the understanding that EPA will submit for
OMB review and approval any labelling policy that increases burden
by more than 5,000 burden hours. OMB will review these amendments
generally within 10 working days. EPA shall provide an estimate of
the burden, statement of need and any other information that would
help OMB conduct its review under the PRA. In addition, EPA needs
to add the PRA notice disclosing burden on form 8570-20. OMB is not
approving the information collection associated with the proposed
flammability policy. When this ICR is renewed, EPA shall examine
its burden estimates and ensure that capital costs associated with
testing and monitoring are included as per the revised regulations
under the 1995 PRA amendments. EPA intends to submit a separate ICR
for the recently promulgated amendments to the worker protection
standard rules.
