Title: Technology Performance and Product Information to Support Vendor Information Summaries (Renewal). Abstract: The U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development’s National Homeland Security Research Center (NHSRC) is helping to protect human health and the environment from adverse impacts resulting from intentional acts of terror. With an emphasis on decontamination and consequence management, water infrastructure protection, and threat and consequence assessment, NHSRC scientists and engineers are working to develop tools and information that will help detect the intentional introduction of chemical, biological, and radiological contaminants in buildings or water systems, the containment of these contaminants, the decontamination of buildings and/or water systems, and the disposal of material resulting from cleanups. With a substantial background in environmental protection and risk management, NHSRC researchers are well-positioned to develop the tools and technologies needed to respond to existing and potential terrorist threats. The focus of these efforts is aimed at providing advice, guidance, and scientific expertise on homeland security issues to emergency response personnel, consequence managers, PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10613 decision-makers, and government officials that will result in improved protection for all citizens. An important facet of the NHSRC mission is identifying, testing, and evaluating technologies to support water utility operators, emergency responders, and facility managers. EPA lacks a well documented array of technological tools to adequately address all of the monitoring, detection, decontamination, and treatment tasks associated with remediating contaminated facilities and drinking water supply systems. EPA is aware that significant research, development, and commercialization efforts are underway by the private sector, but EPA needs to manage the information concerning the myriad of technology choices faced by its customers. EPA has initiated this effort to develop brief vendor information summaries of available technologies relevant to the detection and decontamination of drinking water systems, building materials, building structures, and indoor air that may become contaminated with chemical, biological, or radiological contaminants. These summaries will be based upon vendor-generated or provided information including any independent, validated test data generated by governmental or other organizations and provided to EPA through this ICR. EPA will produce 4–10 page summaries on each of the technologies for which vendors voluntarily agreed to submit the requested information. These summaries will be shared with EPA and other emergency response personnel, building and facility managers, and water utility operators. The information provided by technology developers and vendors will also be used by the NHSRC’s Technology Testing and Evaluation Program (TTEP) to identify technologies that may be suitable candidates for testing and evaluation and to track those technologies under development that may eventually be ready for rigorous testing and evaluation. Developers and vendors with applicable technologies are being searched through all available mechanisms. Once identified, the developer or vendor is sent a letter requesting the submission of specific information pertinent to the performance, operation, maintenance, and cost of the technology. The submission of information is voluntary. Because the summarized information will be publically available, technology vendors/developers will be discouraged from submitting CBI. E:\FR\FM\04MRN1.SGM 04MRN1 10614 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.

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. Michael F. Gearheard, Acting Regional Administrator, Region 10.
