Title: Tips and Complaints Regarding
Environmental Violations.
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2219.03,
OMB Control No. 2009–0032.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on 2/28/2010. 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
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
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: EPA tips and complaints
web form is intended to provide an easy
and convenient means by which
members of the public can supply
information to EPA regarding suspected
violations of environmental law. The
decision to provide a tip or complaint
is entirely voluntary and use of the web
form when supplying a tip or complaint is also entirely voluntary. Tippers
need not supply contact information or
other personal identifiers. Those who do
supply such information, however,
should know that this information may
be shared by EPA with appropriate
administrative, law enforcement, and
judicial entities engaged in investigating
or adjudicating the tip or complaint.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average one-half hour 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Anyone wishing to file a tip or
complaint.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 7,560.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,780.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$75,146.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 1980 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects
the fact that tips and complaints are
being filed at a higher rate than
originally anticipated, a strong
indication of the success of this
program. There has been no change in
the information being reported or the
estimated burden per respondent.

Notice
In accordance with Section 309(a) of
the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to
make its comments on EISs issued by
other Federal agencies public.
Historically, EPA has met this mandate
by publishing weekly notices of
availability of EPA comments, which
includes a brief summary of EPA’s

been including its comment letters on
EISs on its Web site at: https://

Including the entire EIS comment
letters on the Web site satisfies the
Section 309(a) requirement to make
EPA’s comments on EISs available to
the public. Accordingly, after March 31,
2010, EPA will discontinue the
publication of this notice of availability
of EPA comments in the Federal

Inquiry To Learn Whether Businesses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; request for comment.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) receives from time to time
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
requests for documentation received or
issued by EPA or data contained in EPA
database systems pertaining to the
export and import of Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
hazardous waste from/to the United
States, the export of cathode ray tubes
(CRTs) from the United States, and the
export and import of RCRA universal
waste from/to the United States. These
documents and data may identify or
reference multiple parties, and describe
transactions involving the movement of
specified materials in which the parties
propose to participate or have
participated. The purpose of this notice
is to inform ‘‘affected businesses’’ about
the documents or data sought by these
types of FOIA requests in order to
provide the businesses with the
opportunity to assert claims that any of
the information sought that pertains to
them is entitled to treatment as
confidential business information (CBI),
and to send comments to EPA
supporting their claims for such
treatment. Certain businesses, however,
do not meet the definition of ‘‘affected
business,’’ and are not covered by
today’s notice. They consist of any
business that actually submitted to EPA
any document at issue pursuant to
applicable RCRA regulatory
requirements and did not assert a CBI
claim as to information that pertains to
that business in connection with the
document at the time of its submission;
they have waived their right to do so at
a later time. Nevertheless, other
businesses identified or referenced in
the documents that were submitted to
EPA by the submitting business may
have a right to assert a CBI claim
concerning information that pertains to
them and may do so in response to this
notice.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before March 1, 2010. The period for
submission of comments may be
extended if, before the comments are
due, you make a request for an
extension of the comment period and it
is approved by the EPA legal office.
Except in extraordinary circumstances,
the EPA legal office will not approve
such an extension without the consent
of any person whose request for release
of the information under the FOIA is
pending.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OECA–2010–0024, by one of the
following methods:
