This ICR is approved through August 31, 1996. However, in any further revisions of Subpart FF, EPA should examine the possibility of not requiring sources that are not covered by this standard by virtue of the fact that there is no benzene present at the facility to notify the agency. In addition, EPA should consider reducing required reporting from quarterly to semiannually.
