Today the EPA published a 30-day information collection request (ICR) renewal notice in the Federal Register (90 FR 46196-46197) for “Risk Management Program Requirements and Petitions To Modify the List of Regulated Substances Under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (Renewal)”. The 60-day ICR renewal notice was published on April 17th, 2025. No programmatic changes are being reported to the ICR, but the burden estimate has changed.
Today’s notice explains the reason for the change in burden estimate:
“There is decrease of 36,336 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. Two primary reasons account for this decrease in burden. First, the burden varies from one ICR renewal to the next due to different resubmission deadlines based on the sources' RMP re-submission deadlines [based upon a five-year cycle instead of the ICR’s three-year cycle] and other regulatory deadlines. Therefore, the burden changes each year depending on how many sources must submit their RMP and comply with certain prevention program requirements. Second, the number of sources subject to the regulations fluctuates regularly and is slightly lower than in the previous ICR (12,074 vs. 12,341 sources) due to the net change in new sources minus deregistered sources, as well as a lower number of new facilities anticipated to become subject to the RMP requirements during the three-year clearance period.”
