Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 42 / Friday, March 4, 2005 / Notices
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. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and record keeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 15 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Homeland security technology
developers or vendors.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
70.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,050 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$66,000, includes $0 annual capital/
startup costs, $500 annual O&M costs,
and $65,000 annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 675 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. This increase is due to
adjustments made to the amount of time
necessary for the compiling, submitting
and commenting on information
provided under this ICR after having
consulted with respondents.
Dated: February 25, 2005.

Adequacy Status of the Portland, OR
Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan
for Transportation Conformity
Purposes
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public that we have found
the Second Portland Area Carbon
Monoxide Maintenance Plan adequate
for transportation conformity purposes.
On March 2, 1999, the DC Circuit Court
ruled that submitted State
Implementation Plans (SIPs) cannot be
used for conformity determinations
until EPA has found them adequate.
This affects future transportation
conformity determinations prepared,
reviewed and approved by the Portland
Metro, Oregon Department of
Transportation, Federal Highway
Administration and the Federal Transit
Administration.
DATES: This finding is effective March
21, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
finding is available at EPA’s conformity
Web site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
transp.htm, (once there, click on the
‘‘Transportation Conformity’’ button,
then look for ‘‘Adequacy Review of SIP
Submissions’’). You may also contact
Wayne Elson, U.S. EPA, Region 10,
Office of Air, Waste, and Toxics (AWT–
107), 1200 Sixth Ave, Seattle WA 98101;
(206) 553–1463 or
elson.wayne@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Today’s notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA Region 10 sent a
letter to the Washington Department of
Ecology dated February 15, 2005, stating
that the SIP is adequate for
transportation conformity purposes.
Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
EPA’s conformity rule requires that
transportation plans, programs, and
projects conform to SIPs. Conformity to
a SIP means that transportation
activities will not produce new air
quality violations, worsen existing
violations, or delay timely attainment of
the national ambient air quality
standards.
The criteria by which we determine
whether a SIP is adequate for
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
conformity purposes are outlined in 40
CFR 93.118(e)(4). Please note that an
adequacy review is separate from EPA’s
completeness review and it also should
not be used to prejudge our ultimate
approval of the SIP. Even if we find a
SIP adequate for conformity, the SIP
could later be disapproved. For the
reader’s ease, the motor vehicle
emission budget included in the
Maintenance Plan in pounds per winter
time day of carbon monoxide is:
1,238,575 in 2005; 1,033,578 in 2010;
and 1,181,341 in 2017.
We have described our process for
determining the adequacy in SIPs in
guidance dated May 14, 1999. This
guidance in now is reflected in the
amended transportation conformity
rule, July 1, 2004 (69 FR 40004). We
followed this process in making our
adequacy determination.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q.
Dated: February 18, 2005.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 10.
