Step 1: Review ICR Package for Completeness
Note: If the answer to any of the questions in this section is NO, the ICR renewal package is NOT complete and needs to be returned to the ICR Owner.  Via email, indicate to the ICR Owner what is missing and that it needs to be included in order for the ICR package to be marked as "received."  Include the ICR Team Lead on this email.  If the answers to ALL of these questions are YES, proceed to Step 2 in the checklist.
                                       
                                       
                            Comments for Team Lead
                                       
Does the ICR package contain all of the required files - Supporting Statement, Draft Federal Register Notice and ICR Submission Worksheet?

                                       
Has the comment period for the 1[st] Federal Register Notice closed?
September 29, 2021
                                       
Does the Supporting Statement contain all major sections listed in template?
Contains all major sections, including some additional sections provided in Part B. May want to update the ICR Handbook.
                                       
Has the ICR Owner completed consultations as part of this ICR renewal cycle? 
HINT: Section 3c of the supporting statement should address the consultations conducted for this renewal.
Not a renewal, but consultations were made anyway.
Step 2: Update ICR Tracker Information
                                       
                                       
                            Comments for Team Lead
                                       
Enter the received date in the ICR Tracker in the "Submitted to OMS" column.
July 7, 2022
                                      N/A
Check to see if the EPA ICR Number in the ICR materials provided by the POC match EPA ICR Number listed in the ICR Tracker.

                         If not, describe difference.
Step 3: Update ICRAS Information
                                       
                                       
                            Comments for Team Lead
                                       
Create a new ICR package in ICRAS if one does not already exist.

                                       
Check if there any other pending packages in ICRAS (whether pending at EPA or OMB).

                             If so, list packages.
                                       
Check to see if the EPA ICR Number in the ICR materials provided by the POC match EPA ICR Number listed in ICRAS.

                         If not, describe difference.
Step 4: Content Review
                                       
                                       
                            Comments for Team Lead
                                      N/A
Determine if the total annual hours/costs are changing by more than 25%.
HINT: Look at the Bottom Line Burden section of the Supporting Statement and compare those amounts to the current amounts listed in ICRAS. If the difference between those numbers is larger than the existing burden hours/costs divided by 4, the change exceeds 25%.
                            If so, describe change.
                                       
Check if there are Part 2 tabs in the ICR Submission Worksheet for all existing Part 2 ICs in ICRAS.
                           If not, list missing ICs.
Step 5: Request FRL Number
                                       
                                       
                            Comments for Team Lead
                                       
Submit request to create a new FRL # and prepare the Typesetting Request.
NOTE: For OCSPP ICRs, check the FR Notice first to see if there is already an FRL Number.  If there is an FRL Number, provide this to Bill so he can add it to the Typesetting Request.
