The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to submit a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve the reinstatement of two forms related to CERCLA (a federal environmental program). These forms are needed when someone wants to take action to clean up hazardous substances and then claim reimbursement from a special fund. The EPA is asking for public comments on this proposal before they submit it to the OMB. The total estimated cost of responding to this action is about $11,828.67 per year, and it would affect approximately two respondents annually.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to make sure that people who help clean up dangerous messes can fill out forms to ask for money to pay for their work. They want to check if these forms can be made better and want everyone to share their thoughts about it. It only affects a tiny number of people each year (just two).
