For further information about the electronic docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov. Title: Proposed Regional Haze Regulations (Renewal). ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1813.07, OMB Control No. 2060–0412. ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2009. 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, and 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: This ICR is for activities related to the implementation of EPA’s 1999 regional haze rule for the time period between October 31, 2009, and October 30, 2012, and renews the previous ICR. The regional haze rule, as authorized by sections 169A and 169B of the Clean Air Act (CAA), requires States to develop implementation plans to protect visibility in 156 Federallyprotected Class I areas. Tribes may choose to develop implementation plans. For this time period, States will be completing their implementation plans to comply with the rule. Before any agency, department, or instrumentality of the Federal government engages in, supports in any way, provides financial assistance for, licenses, permits, approves any activity, that agency has the affirmative responsibility to ensure that such action conforms to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) required under the regional haze rule. Section 176(c) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) require that all Federal actions conform with the SIP requirements. Depending on the type of action, the Federal entities must collect information themselves, hire consultants to collect the information or require applicants/sponsors of the Federal action to provide the information. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 37 hours per response. Burden means the total time, VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:05 Aug 25, 2009 Jkt 217001 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: 859. Frequency of response: Annual. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 31,841 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $1,880,000, which is comprised of labor costs exclusively. This includes $0 for both capital investment and maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the Estimates. There are only minor revisions to the cost estimates since the last renewal of this ICR (July 11, 2006; 71 FR 39104). The last collection request anticipated the program progressing from the planning stages to implementation. That transition has been somewhat delayed as most States were late in getting their implementation plans submitted by the December 2007 deadline. Also, the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to both vacate (on July 11, 2008) and subsequently remand (on December 23, 2008) the Clean Air Interstate Rule has added much uncertainty to the implementation phase of the program. Consequently, the amount of effort anticipated in July 2006 remains the same today, and burden estimates are essentially unchanged, except for revised labor and wage rates using 2007 cost estimates. Also, in 2006, it was estimated that one Tribe would submit a SIP; however no Tribes elected to submit SIPs and the number of respondents has been reduced by one. Dated: August 20, 2009.

Hereinafter, this NPDES general permit will be referred to as ‘‘permit’’ or ‘‘2009 construction general permit’’ or ‘‘2009 CGP.’’ ‘‘New dischargers’’ are those who did not file a notice of intent (‘‘NOI’’) to be covered under the 2004 construction general permit (‘‘2004 CGP’’) before it expired. Existing dischargers who properly filed an NOI to be covered under the 2004 CGP continue to be authorized to discharge under that PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 permit according to its terms. This 2009 CGP contains generally the same limits and conditions as the National CGP that was issued by other EPA regions and became effective on June 30, 2008 (‘‘2008 National CGP’’). EPA Region 4 is issuing this CGP for a period not to exceed two (2) years and will make the permit available to new construction activities and unpermitted ongoing activities only. DATES: The effective date of this permit is September 1, 2009 and will expire at midnight August 31, 2011. This effective date is necessary to provide dischargers with the immediate opportunity to comply with Clean Water Act requirements in light of the expiration of the 2004 CGP. In accordance with 40 CFR part 23, this permit shall be considered issued for the purpose of judicial review on September 15, 2009.

Under section 509(b)(2) of the Clean Water Act, the requirements in this permit may not be challenged later in civil or criminal proceedings to enforce these requirements. In addition, this permit may not be challenged in other agency proceedings.
