respondents: 17. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total additional annual 

burden hours: 20,667 hours. 

Estimated total additional annual 

cost: $1,404,757. This includes an 

estimated burden cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

The total estimated respondent 

burden during the 3-year period of this 

ICR renewal is 62,000 hours, compared 

with a total estimated respondent 

burden of 120,000 hours identified for 

the 3-year period covered by the original 

ICR approved by OMB. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

The EPA will consider the comments 

received on this proposal and will 

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, the EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
