Abstract: This ICR addresses the collection of information under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) section 313 and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) of 1990. Respondents submit information concerning toxic chemical releases into the air, land and water. EPA is currently requesting a non-substantive change in order to update the instructions for EPA Forms 9350-1, 9350-2, and 9350-3 (Form R, Form A Certification Statement, and Form R Schedule 1). Additionally, EPA is repackaging five existing Q&A sources into a consolidated guidance document. EPA is not otherwise modifying the information collection requirements or agency paperwork burden estimates.
