This information collection request is approved for one year. When EPA resubmits the ICR for renewal, it should ensure that all burden is appropriately accounted for, including burden associated with any 3rd party collection - in this case the States. EPA is also reminded that burden and cost estimates are to be re-evaluated every three years as part of the ICR renewal process and that all supporting documentation should address the upcoming three year period for which approval is being sought.
