Short Statement:
There is a net decrease in the annual burden of 3,090 hours (from 413,575 hours to 410,485 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that currently in the OMB inventory. This decrease reflects a regulatory change requiring respondents (including importers) of inorganic chemicals to complete full reports, rather than partial reports as was the case in the past, when the site-specific production volume is less than 300,000 pounds. This increase is offset by a change in reporting requirements such that respondents must provide information once every five years versus once every four years previously. These changes are program changes. The burden decrease also reflects an increase in EPA's current estimate of the number of sites that will respond to this collection of information, offset by a decrease in the estimated burden for rule familiarization. These changes are adjustments. The Supporting Statement provides additional detail concerning the changes in burden estimates.
