Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. The
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: The collection of information is necessary in order to
ensure that the hazardous waste airbag modules and airbag inflators
exempted under this rule are safely disposed of and that defective
airbag modules and airbag inflators are not reinserted into vehicles
where they would pose an unreasonable risk of death or serious injury.
Information collection activities include maintaining at the airbag
handler for no less than three years records of (1) all off-site
shipments and (2) confirmations of receipt of airbag waste.

the Solid Waste Disposal Act).
Estimated number of respondents: 15,256.
