Respondents/Affected Entities: State and local agencies; members of the public. Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,220. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,595. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $296,603, which includes $100 annualizied capital or O&M costs and $296,500 annual labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 6,245 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR. This adjustment is due to using actual data of the state and local officials requesting OCA data and the public visiting reading rooms. The previous ICR estimated that all 50 states plus U.S. territories and D.C. and at least 1,000 of the 1,500 active LEPCs will be requesting OCA data. However, EPA only received requests for OCA data from 9 LEPCs and 240 state officials in the past three years. The public burden and costs have also decreased from the previous ICR, due to the actual number of people that have visited the federal, state and local reading rooms. Dated: November 15, 2006.
