III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?
There is an increase in total annual costs compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB.
The primary reason for changes in respondent burden and cost are a result of changes from finalized regulatory actions in 2020. In addition, the increase in the respondent burden and agency costs were caused by an increase in the hourly wages and a change in the methodology to calculate loaded wages wages plus fringe benefits and overhead. Please refer to Handbook on Valuing Changes in Time Use Induced by Regulatory Requirements and Other U.S. EPA Actions. This change is an adjustment.
In addition, OMB has requested that EPA move towards using the 18question format for ICR Supporting Statements used by other federal agencies and departments and is based on the submission instructions established by OMB in 1995, replacing the alternate format developed by EPA
and OMB prior to 1995. The Agency does not expect this change in format to result in substantive changes to the information collection activities or related estimated burden and costs.
IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5a1iv to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
