participation’’ under ICR 1949.03. The
estimated hours for program
participation were dramatically
overestimated in the previous ICR, and
EPA has determined therefore that these
hours were incorrect. Specifically, EPA
estimated significant burden for
‘‘compliance demonstration, EMS
documentation and reporting,
continuous performance demonstration,
and reporting and public outreach.’’
This burden was not correctly
estimated, nor attributable to
information collection requirements of
the Performance Track Program. Other
areas that contributed to the decrease in
burden hours are application and
renewal application hours, incentives
hours, and annual performance
reporting hours. Estimated burden hours
per facility for the customer satisfaction
survey have not changed. Finally, EPA
has gained tremendous experience in
the last three years about implementing
its Performance Track Program, and
assessing information collection burden
in ICR amendments 1949.03 and
1949.04. As a result of this experience,
EPA believes that current estimates in
ICR 1949.05 to be significantly more
accurate than previous estimates.
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
