Paperwork renewal for vegetable oil plants

The ICR is currently approved through April 30, 2025, and EPA has asked OMB to extend the collection while allowing an additional 30 days for public comments; this continues paperwork requirements for producers but is presented as not adding extra costs to businesses.
