unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The

for
EPA's
regulations
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15.
The
Agency
today
begins
an
effort
to
examine
the
notification
forms
and
consider
options
for
reducing
their
burden
and
increasing
the
usefulness
of
the
information
these
forms
collect.
The
Agency
would
appreciate
any
information
on
the
users
of
this
information,
how
they
use
this
information,
how
the
information
could
be
improved,
and
how
the
burden
for
these
forms
can
be
reduced.
Therefore,
the
EPA
would
like
to
solicit
comments
to:
(i)
Evaluate
whether
the
proposed
collection
of
information
is
necessary
for
the
proper
performance
of
the
functions
of
the
agency,
including
whether
the
information
will
have
practical
utility;
(ii)
Evaluate
the
accuracy
of
the
agency's
estimate
of
the
burden
of
the
proposed
collection
of
information,
including
the
validity
of
the
methodology
and
assumptions
used;
(iii)
Enhance
the
quality,
utility,
and
clarity
of
the
information
to
be
collected;
and
(iv)
Minimize
the
burden
of
the
collection
of
information
on
those
who
are
to
respond,
including
through
the
use
of
appropriate
automated
electronic,
mechanical,
or
other
technological
collection
techniques
or
other
forms
of
information
technology,
e.
g.,
permitting
electronic
submission
of
responses.
Burden
Statement:
The
estimated
average
burden
for
renewing
the
existing
notification
ICR
is
4.25
hours
per
respondent
for
initial
notifications
and
1.84
hours
per
respondent
for
subsequent
notifications.
This
estimates
for
the
notification
ICR
includes
all
aspects
of
the
information
collection
including
time
for
reviewing
instructions,
searching
existing
data
sources,
gathering
data,
and
completing
and
reviewing
the
form.
EPA
estimates
that
the
number
of
respondents
per
year
for
notifications
is
31,125
(16,174
initial
notifications
and
14,951
subsequent
notifications).
For
this
ICR,
collection
occurs
one
time
per
respondent,
unless
regulations
are
revised
and
promulgated.
Timing
of
the
submission
of
the
notification
is
variable
depending
on
the
status
of
the
respondent
and
the
timing
of
the
promulgation
of
the
regulations.
The
estimated
total
annual
burden
on
respondents
for
initial
and
subsequent
notifications
is
96,250
hours.
These
estimates
of
total
annual
burden
reflect
a
decrease
in
burden
of
3.9%
for
all
notifications
when
compared
with
the
previously
approved
ICR
(1999).
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
