Download as PDF 7844 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 29 / Friday, February 11, 2011 / Notices source reduction activities (Part II: Sec. 8.10, 8.10.1–4). • Remove the ‘‘Yes’’ box and enlarge the text section for the question on optional pollution prevention information (Part II: Section 8.11). Rationale: The current form requests information on ‘‘any source reduction activities for this chemical during the reporting year;’’ but the Reporting Forms and Instructions request information on ‘‘newly implemented’’ source reduction activities. These form changes will remove this difference, allow facilities to distinguish between new and ongoing source reduction activities, and provide additional optional information on source reduction, recycling, or pollution control activities on the form itself (in box 8.11). 4. Add a new question to capture miscellaneous and optional information regarding the submission (Part II: Sec. 9., 9.1). Rationale: This new text box will allow facilities to provide optional, miscellaneous information that may be helpful to EPA and/or the public in using or interpreting their data (e.g., facility closures, explanations for changes in release quantities, etc.). 5. Add NA boxes to Part II, Sections 5.3, 6.1, and 6.2. Rationale: Adding NA boxes to these sections will make the formatting of Form R and Form R Schedule 1 more consistent. What is the next step in the process for these ICRs? jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES 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 for the ICR 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 individual listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: February 6, 2011.
