Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), EPA
is soliciting comments and information
to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the

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

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
