        <RULE_TITLE>RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA plans to reduce the burden imposed by the RCRA reporting and recordkeeping requirements to help meet the Federal Government-wide goal established by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).   In June 1999, EPA published a Notice of Data Availability (NODA) in the Federal Register (64 FR 32859) to seek comment on a number of burden reduction ideas to eliminate duplicative and nonessential paperwork. After reviewing the comments received on the NODA, EPA proposed (67 FR 2518, 1/17/02) to implement many of these ideas. EPA issued a notice (68 FR 61662; 10/29/03) seeking further input on a number of changes we proposed.  EPA plans to finalize this burden reduction effort.]]></ABSTRACT>
