This ICR is
approved. OMB understands that the 128,577 hour downward adjustment
in burden reflects a decrease of about 3,000 Form Rs filed between
RY 2002 (the baseline used to estimate burden for the previouw ICR)
and RY 2005 (the baseline used to estimate burden for the current
ICR). OMB agrees that this adjustment is appropriate. The burden
savings from the 2006 Burden Reduction Rule was previously
incorporated into the burden estimates at the time the rule was
promulgted. In the next renewal of this ICR, EPA should reasses the
actual level of Form A use as a result of the new eligibility
criteria and adjust burden estimates for Form R and Form A
accordingly.
