This ICR, which
amends the information collection under OMB 2050- 0073, is
approved. EPA is commended for its responsiveness to the concerns
raised in OMB's 8/20/96 terms of clearance for the ICR associated
with the proposed rule. EPA is reminded that it should review the
burden associated with this collection when it revises the
information collection approved under OMB 2060-0349 (NESHAP for
hazardous waste combustors) as part of the hazardous waste
combustor MACT final rulemaking, and submit change worksheets as
necessary to: 1) allocate burden appropriately between the two
collections; 2) amend the BIF universe (i.e., the hazardous waste
combustor universe for this collection) to reflect any changes
associated with the comparable fuels exclusion; and 3) ensure that
burden borne by respondents' contractors is included in the hour
burden reported in block 13 of Form 83-I and not in the cost burden
reported in block 14. For the record, it is noted that this ICR was
originally submitted to OMB as a new collection. Pursuant to an EPA
request dated 4/9/98, this ICR was reviewed and approved as a
revision of the collection previously approved under OMB
2050-0073.
