approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Before 
doing so, the EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of 
the proposed information collection as described in SUPPLEMENTARY

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a proposed extension of the ICR, 
which is currently approved through December 31, 2025. An agency may 
not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.
    This document allows 60 days for public comments. Supporting 
documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be 
collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket 
can be viewed online at https://www.regulations.gov or in person at the 
EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, 
Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-
1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit 
https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 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 forms of information technology. 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, EPA will issue another Federal Register 
document 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.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Business or other for-profit.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a 
benefit (sections 2002, 3001, 3002, 3003, 3004, 3006, 3010, and 3017 of 
the Solid Waste Disposal Act).
    Estimated number of respondents: 15,175.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 4,270 hours per year. Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $13,322 (per year), which includes $0 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay 
substantially the same.
