The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to extend the Information Collection Request (ICR) related to the "Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule." This extension, which is approved until August 31, 2021, aims to improve electronic reporting and reduce paperwork. The EPA is asking for public comments on this proposal by March 16, 2021. The proposed changes may reduce the amount of time and effort required from entities reporting electronically, leading to an estimated decrease in respondent burden by 9,554 hours annually.
Simple Explanation
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to keep using a cool computer system to make reporting easier and less about paper, but they need people to tell them what they think about this idea by March 16, 2021. They're saying it'll save a lot of time, but they don't explain exactly how or show all the numbers on why that's true.
