Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 24, 2007 / Notices
Engineer, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 4, Air Planning Branch,
Air Quality Modeling and
Transportation Section, 61 Forsyth
Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Ms.
Benjamin can also be reached by
telephone at (404) 562–9040, or via
electronic mail at
benjamin.lynorae@epa.gov. The finding
is available at EPA’s conformity Web
site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that EPA has
already made. EPA Region 4 sent a letter
to KDAQ on June 18, 2007, stating that
the MVEBs in Kentucky’s SIP,
submitted on September 29, 2006, are
adequate. The bi-state Louisville 8-hour
ozone nonattainment area is comprised
of the following five counties: Bullitt,
Oldham and Jefferson counties in
Kentucky and Clark and Floyd counties
in Indiana. EPA’s adequacy comment
period for Kentucky’s SIP ran from
April 27, 2007, through May 29, 2007.
During EPA’s adequacy comment period
no comments regarding the adequacy of
the MVEBs were received. This finding
has also been announced on EPA’s
conformity Web site: https://
www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/
transconf/pastsips.htm. The adequate
MVEBs are provided in the following
table:

EPA has already approved these MVEBs
in a separate rulemaking (72 FR 36601,
July 5, 2007), and is providing this
notice for informational purposes.
Transportation conformity is required
by section 176 (c) of the Clean Air Act,
as amended in 1990. EPA’s conformity
rule requires that transportation plans,
programs and projects conform to state
air quality implementation plans and
establishes the criteria and procedures
for determining whether or not they do.
Conformity to a SIP means that
transportation activities will not
produce new air quality violations,
worsen existing violations, or delay
timely attainment of the national
ambient air quality standards.
The criteria by which EPA determines
whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes are
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:50 Jul 23, 2007
Jkt 211001
outlined in 40 Code of Federal
Regulations 93.118(e)(4). We have
described the process for determining
the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets
in our July 1, 2004, final rulemaking
entitled, ‘‘ Transportation Conformity
Rule Amendments for the New 8-hour
Ozone and PM2.5 National Ambient Air
Quality Standards and Miscellaneous
Revisions for Existing Areas;
Transportation Conformity Rule
Amendments: Response to Court
Decision and Additional Rule Changes’’
(69 FR 40004). Please note that an
adequacy review is separate from EPA’s
completeness review, and it also should
not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate
approval of the SIP. Even if EPA finds
the MVEBs adequate, the Agency may
later determine that the SIP itself is not
approvable.

Reinstatement with Change—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Comprehensive Smokeless
Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986
(15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., Pub. L. 99–252)
requires each person who manufactures,
packages, or imports smokeless tobacco
(SLT) to provide the Secretary of Health
and Human Services (HHS) with a list
of ingredients added to tobacco in the
manufacture of smokeless tobacco
products. This legislation also
authorizes HHS to undertake research,
and submit an annual report to Congress
(as deemed appropriate) discussing the
health effects of the ingredients in
smokeless tobacco products. HHS has
delegated responsibility for the
implementation of this Act to CDC’s
Office on Smoking and Health (OSH).
The oral use of SLT represents a
significant health risk which can cause
cancer and a number of non-cancerous
oral conditions, and can lead to nicotine
addiction and dependence.
Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe
substitute for cigarette smoking.
Estimated burden for testing and
reporting of un-ionized nicotine, total
moisture, and pH for smokeless tobacco
is one response per year, averaging
1,713 hours to prepare, at a cost of
$1,139 per respondent, for 11
companies. The total hourly burden
would be 18,843 hours, with a total cost
of $12,529. The only cost to respondents
is their time to complete the survey.

Proposed Project
Economic Analysis of the National
Program of Cancer Registries—NEW—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Program of Cancer
Registries (NPCR) is a nationwide,
comprehensive federally sponsored
public health program. Established by
Congress through the Cancer Registries
Amendment Act in 1992, and
administered by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), the
NPCR collects data on the occurrence of
cancer; the type, extent, and location of
the cancer; and the type of initial
treatment. Since the establishment of
NPCR there has been no published
systematic analysis of the true economic
costs incurred by the program. As the
program matures and gains national

attention, and in light of the recent
increases in total program funding as
well as wide variations in the cost per
case collected, there is now a greater
need for an economic evaluation of the
program.
The purpose of this task is to assess
the costs, effectiveness, and costeffectiveness of NPCR in collecting high
quality data on cancer incidence, and to
develop tools for making resource
allocation decisions that will meet
program priorities. Performing an
assessment of the resources expended
on NPCR in relation to the value created
will provide critical information for
improving program efficiency within
the various components of the NPCR
and potentially identifying economies of
scale.
This task will involve collection and
analysis of cost and effectiveness data
from all 45 state registries, funded by
NPCR, for three years. A pilot
questionnaire was developed and
piloted tested with 7 registries and
information learn during the pilot
testing was incorporated to develop a
comprehensive cost collection tool. RTI
International, the contractor hired by
CDC will build a web based data
collection tool to collect annual cost
data from the 45 state registries. All data
will be submitted electronically by
grantees to reduce the respondent
burden and errors. The contractor will
also develop a user’s manual to assist
the grantees with completing their data
submission.
