Short Statement: The purpose of this ICR submission is to amend the existing approval to include the collection of information that will allow EPA to evaluate the full implementation of the State Review Framework. The questionnaires are designed to collect relevant information from the states and territories that underwent the SRF reviews over the past three years. The first questionnaire will address the issues of the consistency of the reviews, whether the process was followed, the fairness of the review process, and then ask what improvements to the Framework are needed. The second questionnaire will address the issues of the metrics used to assess the states during the review. The third questionnaire will address resources issues so that we will be able to find efficiencies in conducting these reviews in the future.
