This collection is approved for three years pursuant to 5 CFR Part 1320. OMb notes, however, that there may be operations and maintenance costs associated with the collection of the information that EPA has not included in its burden estimate. Within sixty days, EPA should submit a revised estimate of the cost burden associated with this collection, and an explanation of it. OMB also notes that EPA's burden estimate assumes that there will be no new facilities opened within the next three years. OMB encourages EPA to revisit this assumption when EPA revises the cost burden, and also when EPA resubmits the collection for approval.
