Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 52 / Monday, March 19, 2007 / Notices Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden: $1,169,545, including $736,000 in annualized capital costs, $1,780 in O&M costs, and $431,765 in labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 5,584 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to use of revised estimates, based on actual counts, of the number of import forms submitted. There is a decrease in O&M costs of $1,264,220 and an increase in annualized capital costs of $736,000. These changes are due to the following: (1) The labor burden of recordkeeping has been adjusted and costed for the first time. These replace an O&M cost per form in the prior estimate. (2) The number of EPA Form 3520–8s has been increased from 200 to 352. The number of EPA Form 3520–1s has been reduced from 20,000 to 12,000 based on a better estimate due to the availability of a logged database. (The prior renewal listed 13,000 respondents filing 11,200 responses.) (3) The testing cost is modified to distinguish the different testing requirements for the two different classes of ICIs. (4) An O&M and a capital cost are assigned to the testing requirement, consistent with other certification ICRs, namely the EPA ICR 0783 series and (5) This testing O&M cost replaces a $660,000 O&M expense that was in the prior renewal.

ICR Status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Asthma is one of the most common chronic illnesses in the United States, particularly among children. The disease is characterized by recurring episodes of symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, and wheezing. Epidemiological studies suggest that ambient air pollution may contribute to exacerbation of these episodes. Acute asthma episodes are a leading cause of work and school absence and contribute to the economic burden of the disease. The policies and programs of many public and private entities including EPA may affect the frequency and severity of asthma episodes, but economic analysis of these programs is hindered by inadequate information about the economic benefits of reduced asthma episodes. The proposed surveys would gather information to support estimation of willingness to pay (WTP) to avoid acute episodes of asthma exacerbation for adults and children. The survey research has three main objectives. The first is to estimate WTP to reduce frequency of asthma episodes. The second is to examine how the ‘‘attributes’’ of asthma episodes, such as their frequency, severity and symptoms, affect WTP. The third is to provide some evidence on the WTP to reduce the severity of asthma episodes, while E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM 19MRN1
