This information collection request (ICR) (OMB # 2060-014) is approved through May of 1992, with the exception of those items which require the reporting of sales data. The nature of the sales data the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will require to ensure compliance with the Tier 1 phase-in requirements remains an open issue in the rulemaking. Given this uncertainty, it is unclear that the sales data requested in this ICR would have any practical utility. EPA may not, therefore, collect any sales data under this OMB number at this time. When the final rule is promulgated, EPA must submit an ICR which provides the justification for the specific sales data requirements necessary to implement the rule.
