SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an

Airbags Rule (EPA ICR Number 2589.03, OMB Control Number 2050-0221) to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed 
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through April 30, 
2019. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal 
Register on November 30, 2018 during a 60-day comment period. This 
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller 
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden 
and cost to the public. 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.

2018-0646, to (1) EPA, either online using www.regulations.gov (our

    Abstract: The EPA issued the interim final rule in response to the 
urgent public health issue posed by recalled Takata airbag inflators 
still installed in vehicles. The rule facilitates a more expedited 
removal of defective Takata airbag inflators from vehicles by 
dealerships, salvage yards and other locations for safe and 
environmentally sound disposal by exempting the collection of airbag 
waste from hazardous waste requirements so long as certain conditions 
are met. 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: 15,256.
    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: $130,791 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a slight increase of 70 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to more accurate estimates of the 
hourly burden.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
