Title: National Volatile Organic
Compound Emission Standards for
Architectural Coatings (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1750.05,
OMB Control No. 2060–0393.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on July 31, 2008. 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
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: The information collection
includes initial reports and periodic
recordkeeping necessary for EPA to
ensure compliance with Federal
standards for volatile organic
compounds in architectural coatings.
Respondents are manufacturers,
distributors, and importers of consumer
products. Responses to the collection
are mandatory under 40 CFR part 59,
subpart D—National Volatile Organic
Compound Emission Standards for
Architectural Coatings. All information
submitted to the EPA for which a claim
of confidentiality is made will be
safeguarded according to the Agency
policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2,
subpart B—Confidentiality of Business
Information.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
E:\FR\FM\25JYN1.SGM
25JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 144 / Friday, July 25, 2008 / Notices
this collection of information is
estimated to average 33 hours per
respondent. 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Manufacturers and importers of
architectural coatings.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
500.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
16,641 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,224,507. This includes $1,224,507 in
labor costs and no capital or O&M costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is a
reduction of 6,120 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
This reduction is a result of revised
estimates of number of exceedance fee
reports and tonnage exemption reports
to be submitted. These revised estimates
were updated based on actual reports
received in 2007 and 2008 in
accordance with OMB’s terms of
clearance when the existing ICR was
previously renewed in 2005. The
estimated total annual costs decrease by
$375,200 as a result.
ACTION:
Notice of Availability.
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of a memorandum and
accompanying guidance on how the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
will award and administer the United
States-Mexico Border Program grant
funds appropriated in the State and
Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG)
account of the Agency’s fiscal year (FY)
2008 appropriations. In the
memorandum, the Agency identifies the
portion of the available funds that are
subject to the accompanying guidance.
The grant guidance, which specifies
how EPA Region 6 and Region 9 will
award and administer these funds, will
not be reissued annually. Each grant
recipient will receive a copy of the
memorandum and grant guidance from
EPA. Requests for any materials
referenced in the guidance document
should be directed to the Regional
project officers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On May 22, 2008, EPA published a
notice that the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts had petitioned the
Regional Administrator, Environmental
Protection Agency, to determine that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for the state waters of Cape
Cod Bay in the municipalities of
Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet,
Eastham, Orleans, Brewster, Dennis,
Yarmouth, Barnstable, Sandwich and
Bourne. Two comments were received
on this petition.
The petition was filed pursuant to
Section 312(f)(3) of Public Law 92–500,
as amended by Public Laws 95–217 and
100–4, for the purpose of declaring
these waters a No Discharge Area
(NDA).
Section 312(f)(3) states: After the
effective date of the initial standards
and regulations promulgated under this
section, if any State determines that the
protection and enhancement of the
quality of some or all of the waters
within such States require greater
environmental protection, such State
may completely prohibit the discharge
from all vessels of any sewage, whether
treated or not, into such waters, except
that no such prohibition shall apply
until the Administrator determines that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for such water to which such
prohibition would apply.
