- The Paperwork Reduction Act stipulates that every
federal agency must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget before collecting
the same or similar information from 10 or more
members of the public. If the Environmental
Protection Agency decides to gather information,
the appropriate program office must prepare an
Information Collection Request (ICR) and submit
it to their Desk Officer in the Office of
Environmental Information. - An Information Collection Request
- Describes the information to be collected,
- Gives the reason the information is needed,
- Estimates the time and cost for the public to
answer the request. - After reviewing the request, the Office of
Management and Budget may approve, disapprove, or
place conditions that must be met for approval.
This process was designed to prevent unnecessary
collections and reduce costs. - Examples of information collections include
surveys, permits, and questionnaires to reports.

XML, but none will Validate in XML Spy. - The OIRA XML files were saved in XML Spy and
organized into a Project (PRAMS41702) for ease of
future use. - The OIRA XML Schema is Well-formed and Valid
(OIRA214202.XSD).
