wastes; the design capacity of such
processes; and the specific hazardous
wastes to be handled at the facility. Part
B requires detailed site specific
information such as geologic,
hydrologic, and engineering data. In the
event that permit modifications are

modifications must conform to the
requirements under sections 3004 and
3005.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 262 hours per

after appearing in the Federal Register
when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, and included on the related

Abstract: In an effort to aid
implementation of U.S. commitments in
the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, the
President announced a Climate Change
Strategy on February 14, 2002, wherein
he set a national U.S. GHG intensity
goal of 18 percent by 2012. Part of that
strategy challenges companies to set
GHG reduction goals by working with
EPA through the voluntary Climate
Leaders program. EPA has developed
this renewal ICR to ensure that the
program remains credible by obtaining
continued authorization to collect
information from Climate Leaders
Partners to ensure the Partners are
meeting their GHG goals over time.
Companies that join Climate Leaders
voluntarily agree to the following:
Completing and submitting a
Partnership Agreement; negotiating a
corporate GHG reduction goal;
submitting a GHG inventory
management plan; participating in an
onsite review of the inventory
management plan, and reporting to EPA,
on an annual basis, the company’s GHG
emissions inventory, and progress
toward their GHG reduction goal via
Climate Leaders Annual GHG Inventory
Summary and Goal Tracking Form. The
information contained in the inventories
of the companies that join Climate
Leaders may be considered confidential
business information and is maintained
as such. EPA uses the data obtained
from the companies to assess the
success of the program in achieving its
GHG reduction goals. Responses to the
information collection are voluntary.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to equal 11,955 hours and to
average 94.13 hours per year per
respondent. The average number of
annual burden hours on first year
partners for each type of one-time
response is: 9.67 hours to complete and
submit a Partnership Agreement, 46.75
hours for documenting and submitting
an Inventory Management Plan, 22.25
hours participating in an on-site
verification of the Inventory
Management Plan, 41 hours for
negotiating and setting a GHG reduction
goal, 117.5 hours for establishing a base
year inventory, and 3.5 hours to submit
a company profile that is posted on the
Web. For all other partners who have
