Download as PDF 55130 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 181 / Tuesday, September 20, 2005 / Notices Changes in the Estimates: Adjustment of burden hours added 2,183 hours, but was more than offset by Program Change decrease of 5,408 hours, so that the overall decrease in burden was 3,225 hours per year. This decrease is due to the removal of quarterly emission reporting requirements. Only semiannual emission reporting is required by the standards. The increase in O&M cost is due to use of a more accurate source for this information. Dated: September 12, 2005. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are members of the public, specifically local residents of the Saginaw Bay region of Michigan. Title: Delisting the Fish Tainting Beneficial Use Impairment in the Saginaw River/Bay Area of Concern Abstract: The 1988 Saginaw River/ Bay RAP cited 12 impairments of the 14 categories specifically listed by the IJC for the Saginaw River/Bay AOC, including tainting of fish (i.e., taste and odor concerns). Chemical odors and tastes associated with harvested fish were frequently reported from the 1940s SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 through the 1970s in the Saginaw and Tittabawassee Rivers, and in the Saginaw Bay. In the 1994 Remedial Action Plan Update, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources reported that no off-flavor was detected in taste tests conducted on fish taken from these waters. Since taste and odor complaints related to edible fish taken from both Saginaw River and Bay have disappeared in recent years, this project will distribute a voluntary survey to 7,680 local residents and anglers to determine if taste and odor problems in fish fillets have abated to the extent that delisting of the beneficial use impairment may be recommended for the Area of Concern (AOC). Results of the individual survey respondents will be confidential. 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 4 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. The EPA would like to solicit comments to: (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Burden Statement: The voluntary survey instrument is expected to take .5 hours to review and complete per individual response. The targeted frequency of response is 20 percent, or 1,536 completed surveys. 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 E:\FR\FM\20SEN1.SGM 20SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 181 / Tuesday, September 20, 2005 / Notices 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.

    Title: Delisting the Fish Tainting Beneficial Use Impairment in the 
Saginaw River/Bay Area of Concern
    Abstract: The 1988 Saginaw River/Bay RAP cited 12 impairments of 
the 14 categories specifically listed by the IJC for the Saginaw River/
Bay AOC, including tainting of fish (i.e., taste and odor concerns). 
Chemical odors and tastes associated with harvested fish were 
frequently reported from the 1940s through the 1970s in the Saginaw and 
Tittabawassee Rivers, and in the Saginaw Bay. In the 1994 Remedial 
Action Plan Update, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources 
reported that no off-flavor was detected in taste tests conducted on 
fish taken from these waters. Since taste and odor complaints related 
to edible fish taken from both Saginaw River and Bay have disappeared 
in recent years, this project will distribute a voluntary survey to 
7,680 local residents and anglers to determine if taste and odor 
problems in fish fillets have abated to the extent that delisting of 
the beneficial use impairment may be recommended for the Area of 
Concern (AOC). Results of the individual survey respondents will be 
confidential. 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 4 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden 
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.
    Burden Statement: The voluntary survey instrument is expected to 
take .5 hours to review and complete per individual response. The 
targeted frequency of response is 20 percent, or 1,536 completed 
surveys. 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

[[Page 55131]]

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.
