SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What information is EPA particularly
interested in?
Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA
specifically solicits comments and
information to enable it to:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

whether the information will have
practical utility.
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimates of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
4. 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. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.
II. What should I consider when I
prepare my comments for EPA?
You may find the following
suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as
possible and provide specific examples.
2. Describe any assumptions that you
used.
3. Provide copies of any technical
information and/or data you used that
support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or
costs, explain how you arrived at the
estimate that you provide.
5. Submit your comments by the
deadline identified under DATES.
6. Identify the docket ID number
assigned to the ICR action in the subject
line on the first page of your response.
You may also provide the ICR title and
related EPA and OMB numbers.
III. What do I need to know about PRA?
An Agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
subject to PRA approval unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The OMB control numbers for
the EPA regulations in title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after
appearing in the preamble of the final
rule, are further displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on
the related collection instruments or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers for certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in a list at 40
CFR 9.1.
As used in the PRA context, burden
is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
