Terms of Clearance:
This Section 8(c) renewal ICR is approved, but only for the estimated recordkeeping burden because the supporting statement does not adequately demonstrate the practical utility of reporting 8(c) data. Any use of the 8(c)'s reporting authority by EPA (using either a Federal Register notice or a letter) must be submitted to OMB for review and approval with a short justification of the collection's practical utility. This should include a discussion of the burden estimate and method for alerting potential respondents. OMB review is expected to be prompt (less than 15 calendar days). OMB retains the prerogative to require modification or disapproval of individual reporting actions based on the general requirements of 5 CFR 1320.4. Alternatively, EPA may conduct a detailed evaluation of past 8(c) reports and demonstrate their essential use in risk assessments, testing decisions, or other matters. Based on this study, OMB may ame the terms of clearance including consideration of a "generic" clearance.
