This renewal requires the continuation of reporting of previously established MDRs with no additional new burden. The provision of Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7414(a)(1) provide the broad authority for the reporting of compliance monitoring and enforcement information, along with Subpart Q—Reports in 40 CFR part 51: §§ 51.324(a) and (b), and 51.327. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was estimated to average 509 hours per year for a small State/local agency (150 major sources or less), 1,463 hours per year for a medium state/local agency (151–499 major sources) or 2,572 hours per year for large State/local agencies (greater or equal to 500 major sources 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 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. The estimates from the previous ICR are briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 99. Frequency of response: Six times per year (every 60 days). Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: A minimum of six responses from each respondent. Estimated total annual burden hours: 98,183 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $3,277,935 annually. Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval? EPA acknowledges that the estimated operational and maintenance costs will increase due to inflationary pressures that increase hourly resource costs for VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:33 Oct 22, 2007 Jkt 214001 management, professional, and related occupational groups. The labor rates used in the ICR estimates will be taken from the Department of Labor Employment Compensation and Costs (ECEC) Web site. These changes will be reflected in the final supporting statement for this ICR. Additionally, the number of respondents will be corrected to reflect 99 respondents, an increase from 93 in the previous ICR resulting in an overall increase in hours and resources for reporting. 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 be submitted by EPA 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 a second 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. Dated: October 15, 2007. Michael M. Stahl, Director, Office of Compliance, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. [FR Doc.
