anticipated to continue decreasing due 

to the significant decline of CFC–12 

vehicles on road. The third reason the 

burden hours have decreased is that 

there are less approved technician 

certification programs in business than 

in the previous ICR. However, EPA 

anticipates a slow increase of one 

organization approval per year as new 

alternative refrigerants become available 

and new businesses become interested 

in certifying technicians for MVAC 

servicing for consideration. 

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. At that time, 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
