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?
8/30/2022
                                       x
Does the Supporting Statement contain all major sections listed in template?
Template does not match section 6 of the template. Tables were not used to calculate burden. It is all written
                                       
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.
Ron Naveen and Denise Landau responded to EPA's consultation request
Step 2: Update ICR Tracker Information
                                       
                                       
                            Comments for Team Lead
                                      ☐
Enter the received date in the ICR Tracker in the "Submitted to OMS" column.

                                       
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.

The ICR Number in the 1[st] FRN, 1808.09, is incorrect as well. I corrected the ICR Number on the SS, Worksheet, and 2[nd] FRN.
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
                                       
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%.
There is a 94% increase of 1,444 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is the result of an anticipated increase in the number of respondent universe, the result of the inclusion of more complex information regarding safety and environmental issues, more diverse tourist activities and outcomes from current Antarctic Treaty Consultative meetings, and the accounting of a potential PERM, CEE and Emergency Report submitted by any of the 29 anticipated operators (every three years).
                                      ☐
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
                                       x
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.
