Abstract:
EPA seeking to renew an existing ICR for the methyl bromide critical use exemption program (CUE) under the Clean Air Act and transfer the burden under a second ICR (2060-0564) to this one. Thus, EPA is creating a single comprehensive ICR for the methyl bromide CUE program. 2060-0564 will be discontinued once this ICR is approved. This ICR seeks to characterize the burden associated with producing, importing, distributing, and using methyl bromide under the critical use exemption program as described in 40 CFR Part 82. Specifically, EPA is renewing ICR 2060-0482 which allows EPA to collect CUE applications from regulated entities on an annual basis. EPA is also renewing and transferring the burden from ICR 2060-0564, which requires the submission of data from regulated industries to the EPA and require recordkeeping of key documents to ensure compliance with the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol) and the CAA.
