SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR.

Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving, electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures available under existing programspecific authorization regulations.

HI DOH was notified of EPA’s determination to approve its application with respect to the authorized program listed above. Also, in today’s notice, EPA is informing interested persons that they may request a public hearing on EPA’s action to approve the State of Hawaii’s request to revise its authorized public water system program under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(f).

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Responses to the collection are mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, subpart C. Estimated number of respondents: 300 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 16,126 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $1,765,427 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 13,487 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to adjustments to the estimated hours for each level of review. These adjustments are consistent with the assumptions used routinely in ICR renewals, and are discussed in the supporting statements for this action.

    Abstract: The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air 
Act (CAA) to regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from 
the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to CAA section 
183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products 
and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). The standards for 
consumer products are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart C. The 
information collection includes initial reports and periodic 
recordkeeping necessary for the EPA to ensure compliance with Federal 
standards for VOC in consumer products. Respondents are manufacturers, 
distributors, and importers of consumer products. All information 
submitted to the EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made will 
be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR 
part 2, subpart B, Confidentiality of Business Information. The reports 
required under the standards enable the EPA to identify all consumer 
products manufacturers, distributors, and importers in the United 
States and to determine which consumer products are subject to the 
standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action as respondents are manufacturers, distributors, and 
importers of consumer products.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Responses to the collection are 
mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, subpart C.
    Estimated number of respondents: 300 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 16,126 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,765,427 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 13,487 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to adjustments to the estimated 
hours for each level of review. These adjustments are consistent with 
the assumptions used routinely in ICR renewals, and are discussed in 
the supporting statements for this action.
