The Framework’s goal is to evaluate state performance by examining existing data to provide a consistent level of oversight and develop a uniform mechanism by which EPA Regions, working collaboratively with their states, can ensure that state environmental agencies are consistently implementing the national compliance and enforcement program in order to meet agreed-upon goals. Furthermore, the Framework is designed to foster dialogue on enforcement and compliance performance between the states that will enhance relationships and increase feedback, which will in turn lead to consistent program management and improved environmental results. The Framework is described in the April 26, 2005 Federal Register Notice (79 FR 21408). This amendment will allow OECA to collect information to assist in the evaluation of the State Review Framework implementation from FY 2005 to the end of FY 2007. This request will allow EPA to make inquiries to assess the State Review Framework process, including the consistency achieved among the EPA Regions and states, the resources required to conduct the reviews, and the overall effectiveness of the program. 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. The EPA would like to solicit comments to: (i) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 32847 including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (ii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iii) 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 estimated burden for this Framework is 6 hours per respondent. The total number of respondents is 236, producing an approximate total burden of 1375 hours. For each respondent, the proposed frequency of response is one-time in a three-year cycle. The projected cost burden to respondents is $47,213, which includes a total capital and startup component of $0.0, annualized over its expected useful life, and a total operation and maintenance component of $0.0. 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.

performance by examining existing data to provide a consistent level of 
oversight and develop a uniform mechanism by which EPA Regions, working

inquiries to assess the State Review Framework process, including the 
consistency achieved among the EPA Regions and states, the resources

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.
    The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
    (i) 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;
    (ii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and
    (iii) 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 estimated burden for this Framework is 6 
hours per respondent. The total number of respondents is 236, producing 
an approximate total burden of 1375 hours. For each respondent, the 
proposed frequency of response is one-time in a three-year cycle. The 
projected cost burden to respondents is $47,213, which includes a total

useful life, and a total operation and maintenance component of $0.0. 
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
