Prior to resubmitting the collection to OMB for revision or renewal, EPA should clarify the basis for the requirement that records be maintained for eight years. OMB is concerned that this requirement may lack practical utility.

Finally, EPA should review the burden and costs associated with the underlying collection based on its experience in implementing the May 1999 CAP 2000 rule.
