Title: NOX Budget Trading Program to
Reduce the Regional Transport of
Ozone.
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR no. 1857.04,
OMB Program Control No. 2060–0445.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on May 31, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency
may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB. 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 theFederal 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 regulation is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The NOX Budget Trading
Program is a market-based cap and trade
program created to reduce emissions of
nitrogen oxides (NOX) from power
plants and other large combustion
sources in the eastern United States.
NOX is a prime ingredient in the
formation of ground-level ozone (smog),
a pervasive air pollution problem in
many areas of the eastern United States.
The NOX Budget Trading program was
designed to reduce NOX emissions
during the warm summer months,
referred to as the ozone season, when
ground-level ozone concentration are
highest. This information collection is
necessary to implement the NOX Budget
Trading Program. While States were not
required to adopt an emissions trading

program, every State adopted the basic
Federal model trading program for fossil
fuel-fired NOX sources. This trading
program burden includes the paper
work burden related to; transferring and
tracking allowances, the allocation of
allowances to affected units, permitting,
annual year end compliance
certification, and meeting the
monitoring and reporting requirements
of the program. This information
collection is mandatory under 40 CFR
part 96. All data received by EPA will
be treated as public information. 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.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 41 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
tie 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 which have subsequently
changed; 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:
Electric Utilities, Industrial Sources,
and other persons.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
700.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
quarterly, and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
471,734.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$57,069,211, includes $28,278,800
annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 11,335 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This is due to adjustments,
including changes to the number of
responses and the time it takes to
respond to a particular activity.

Title: Federal Implementation Plans
under the Clean Air Act for Indian
Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington.
ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2020.03,
OMB Control No. 2060–0558.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on November 30,
2007. 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: EPA promulgated Federal
Implementation Plans (FIPs) under the
Clean Air Act for Indian reservations
located in Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington in 40 CFR part 49 (70 FR
18074, April 8, 2005). The FIPs in the
final rule, also referred to as the Federal
Air Rules for Indian Reservations in
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (FARR),
include information collection
requirements associated with the
fugitive particulate matter rule in
§ 49.126, the woodwaste burner rule in
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:52 May 23, 2007
Jkt 211001
§ 49.127; the rule for limiting sulfur in
fuels in § 49.130; the rule for open
burning in § 49.131; the rules for general
open burning permits, agricultural
burning permits, and forestry and
silvicultural burning permits in
§§ 49.132, 49.133, and 49.134; the
registration rule in § 49.138; and the
rule for non-Title V operating permits in
§ 49.139. EPA uses this information to
manage the activities and sources of air
pollution on the Indian reservations in
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. EPA
believes these information collection
requirements are appropriate because
they will enable EPA to develop and
maintain accurate records of air
pollution sources and their emissions,
track emissions trends and changes,
identify potential air quality problems,
allow EPA to issue permits or approvals,
and ensure appropriate records are
available to verify compliance with
these FIPs. The information collection
requirements listed above are all
mandatory. Regulated entities can assert
claims of business confidentiality and
EPA would treat these claims in
accordance with the provisions of 40
CFR part 2, subpart B.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to be 2,156 hours, or an
average of approximately 2.43 hours per
affected source. EPA estimates that the
owners or operators of facilities affected
by this final rule will incur a total, for
all affected facilities, of $90,552 in
annualized labor costs to comply with
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the information collection requirements
of this rule over the next three years.
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 which have subsequently
changed; 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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 889.
Frequency of response: Annual and
on occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
2,156.
Estimated total annual costs: $90,552.
This includes an estimated labor cost of
$90,552, and capital investment and
operation and maintenance costs are
assumed to be zero.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 100 / Thursday, May 24, 2007 / Notices
Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
There is a decrease of 621 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. EPA’s
original estimate included many ‘‘onetime’’ costs (e.g., time spent gaining
familiarity with the applicable rules)
that are not expected to be recurring.
The burden estimate for the next three
years does not include these ‘‘one-time’’
costs, and therefore the burden estimate
has decreased.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the

Title: Federal Implementation Plans under the Clean Air Act for
Indian Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2020.03, OMB Control No. 2060-0558.
ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on November
30, 2007. 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: EPA promulgated Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) under
the Clean Air Act for Indian reservations located in Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington in 40 CFR part 49 (70 FR 18074, April 8, 2005). The FIPs in
the final rule, also referred to as the Federal Air Rules for Indian
Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (FARR), include
information collection requirements associated with the fugitive
particulate matter rule in Sec. 49.126, the woodwaste burner rule in
Sec. 49.127; the rule for limiting sulfur in fuels in Sec. 49.130;
the rule for open burning in Sec. 49.131; the rules for general open
burning permits, agricultural burning permits, and forestry and
silvicultural burning permits in Sec. Sec. 49.132, 49.133, and 49.134;
the registration rule in Sec. 49.138; and the rule for non-Title V
operating permits in Sec. 49.139. EPA uses this information to manage
the activities and sources of air pollution on the Indian reservations
in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. EPA believes these information
collection requirements are appropriate because they will enable EPA to
develop and maintain accurate records of air pollution sources and
their emissions, track emissions trends and changes, identify potential
air quality problems, allow EPA to issue permits or approvals, and
ensure appropriate records are available to verify compliance with
these FIPs. The information collection requirements listed above are
all mandatory. Regulated entities can assert claims of business
confidentiality and EPA would treat these claims in accordance with the
provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 2,156
hours, or an average of approximately 2.43 hours per affected source.
EPA estimates that the owners or operators of facilities affected by
this final rule will incur a total, for all affected facilities, of
$90,552 in annualized labor costs to comply with the information
collection requirements of this rule over the next three years. 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
which have subsequently changed; 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.
The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential respondents: 889.
Frequency of response: Annual and on occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 2,156.
Estimated total annual costs: $90,552. This includes an estimated
labor cost of $90,552, and capital investment and operation and
maintenance costs are assumed to be zero.
[[Page 29164]]
Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval?
There is a decrease of 621 hours in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by
OMB. EPA's original estimate included many ``one-time'' costs (e.g.,
time spent gaining familiarity with the applicable rules) that are not
expected to be recurring. The burden estimate for the next three years
does not include these ``one-time'' costs, and therefore the burden
estimate has decreased.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
