In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit a request to renew an existing approved Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This ICR, 2031.02, is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2008. In addition, EPA is also planning to renew and transfer the burden from EPA ICRs 2179.02 and 2179.03 into this ICR. Those ICRs are scheduled to expire on August 31, 2008, and November 30, 2008, respectively. Thus, EPA seeks to create a single comprehensive ICR for the methyl bromide CUE program. Before submitting the ICR to OMB for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below.
