IV. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

There is a decrease of 3,610 hours (from 3,750 hours to 140 hours) in the total estimated annual respondent burden compared with that identified in the information collection most recently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects improved estimates of the number of applications EPA expects to receive, based on actual experience in administering the SDSI program. The decrease is an adjustment. V. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under **FOR FURTHER**
