As part of this approval, EPA shall provide OMB with several items for each TSCA 8(a) rulemaking issued during the three-year period covered by this approval. EPA shall provide a brief description of each rule prior to publishing hte proposed rule in the Federal Register. Before issuing a final rule, EPA shall provide OMB with a copy of the draft final rule, a summary of any comments received, and an explanation of how EPA addressed the comments. OMB will review the information collection activities associated with each individual rule to ensure compliance with 5 CFR 1320.5 (d)-- e.g. the collection of information is the least burdensome necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions; the collection of information is not duplicative of information otherwise accessible to the agency. OMB may disapprove any individual submission under this clearance if it fails to meet th e criteria outlined in 5 CFR 1320.5 (d). OMB will promptly contact the Agency with any questions or requests for further information regarding a particular submission. If, 15 business days after confirming OMB receipt of the submission, WPA has not received any such requests from OMB, the Agency may proceed with the issuance of the final rule. EPA must provide the rule specific burden estimates in the preamble for each proposed or final TSCA section 8(a) rule. EPA should also track the burden estimates for each rule issued under this ICR and submit a technical amendment to this ICR if the burden for any rule or the total annual burden in any given year exceeds the 275 hours approved under this ICR. Finally, EPA should summarize in its next ICR, the actual annual burden hours incurred under this ICR.
