    Abstract: This ICR covers the information collection activities 
associated with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for 
sellers', lessors', and their agents' disclosure activities in target 
housing including the allowance of up to ten days for an optional risk 
assessment or inspection before being obligated under purchase or lease 
contract.
    The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related 
materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities 
and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:
    Form Numbers: EPA Forms 9600-040 and 9600-041.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this ICR include lessors of real estate and real estate agents North 
American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes 5311 and 5312.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory. 40 CFR 475.
    Estimated number of respondents: 39,979,082 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 4,456,371 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $130,820,508 (per year), which includes $0 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is decrease of 1,024,698 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease, which is discussed in more detail in 
the ICR, reflects EPA's updating of burden estimates for this 
collection based on recent data on the number of home sales and new 
rental agreements over the past few years, as well as the number of 
real estate agents assisting buyers, sellers, and lessors of 
properties. This change is an adjustment.

Deputy Director, Data and Enterprise Programs Division.
