PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT SUBMISSION WORKSHEET

PART I: Information Collection Request

This worksheet replaces the previous OMB 83-I form for Information

to OMB.  For additional guidance on completing this worksheet please
consult the two OMB guidance documents: ROCIS How To Guide for Agency
Users of the ICR Module and ROCIS IC Q&A, located at:   HYPERLINK
"http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/download.html" 
http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/download.html  , or visit EPA’s ICR
webpage   HYPERLINK "http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/" 
http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/  and contact your appropriate ICR desk
officer.
