Environmental Impacts Statements; Notice of Availability, 25238-25239 [2010-10861]

Download as PDF jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES 25238 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 88 / Friday, May 7, 2010 / Notices cooperation with Federal agencies, State and local governments, and federallyrecognized Indian tribes with jurisdiction by law or special expertise (see final rule § 6.202); and (2) the public participation process associated with actions other than those categorically excluded (see final rule § 6.203). When the environmental information is provided by the applicant, the Responsible Official is responsible for the statements, analyses, and conclusions of the EA or EIS and any supporting documents. The information compiled is a one-time submission in narrative text format (see final rule §§ 6.205 and 6.207) rather than computerized compilations of data and information. There are no forms, checklists, or ongoing reporting, recordkeeping or file-maintenance requirements for applicants. EPA maintains file records for each action. The information submitted by applicants would be consistent with the guidelines of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 5 CFR 1320.6. There are no schedule requirements or requirements on the number of copies of the documentation to be submitted or requirements for ongoing reporting or recordkeeping or to conduct statistical surveys. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 123 hours 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. For purposes of this ICR, the total annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated at 38,472 hours and $3,503,245 for contractor hours and costs, direct labor hours and costs, and O&M costs. This burden reflects the annual submission of documentation for an anticipated 312 applicant-proposed project that may be documented with a CE, or an EA/ VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:19 May 06, 2010 Jkt 220001 FONSI, or an EIS/ROD. For any specific project, only one of these levels of documentation is generally prepared. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 312. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 38,472 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $3,503,245. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? There is a decrease of 9,675 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects the increasing number of projects that are documented with a categorical exclusion (CE) rather than an environmental assessment (EA). Under the current ICR, approximately 60% of the annual 300 grant projects were documented with a CE, and 40% with an EA. However, we estimate that out of the 300 annual grant projects, 75% will be documented with a CE and 25% will be documented with an EA. Annually, then, the burden would shift to 10,125 hours and $3,825 for CE documentation, and 19,500 hours and $3,000 for EA documentation. With the current ICR, the total annual burden is 48,147 hours and $8,673.34. Under the renewal ICR, the total annual burden is 38,472 hours and $7,638.34. The renewal ICR reduces the total annual burden by 9,675 hours and $1,035. This reflects EPA’s respondents anticipated during the 3year ICR renewal period and the level of environmental documentation EPA anticipates the respondents will submit. 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 then be submitted 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 the 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.

ACTION: Notice; Announcement of availability of literature searches for IRIS assessments; request for information. SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of literature searches for four IRIS assessments and requesting scientific information on health effects that may result from exposure to these chemical substances. EPA’s IRIS is a human health assessment program that evaluates quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that may result from exposure to specific chemical substances found in the environment. DATES: EPA will accept information related to the specific substances included herein as well as any other compounds being assessed by the IRIS Program. Please submit any information in accordance with the instructions provided below. ADDRESSES: Please submit relevant scientific information identified by docket ID number EPA–HQ–ORD–2007– 0664, online at www.regulations.gov (EPA’s preferred method); by e-mail to ord.docket@epa.gov; mailed to Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket (Mail Code: 2822T), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460– 0001; or by hand delivery or courier to EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information on the IRIS program, contact Dr. Abdel-Razak Kadry, IRIS Program Director, National Center for Environmental Assessment, (mail code: 8601D), Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC 20460; telephone: (703) 347–8545, facsimile: (703) 347–8689; or e-mail: kadry.abdel@epa.gov. For general questions about access to IRIS, or the content of IRIS, please call the IRIS Hotline at (202) 566–1676 or send electronic mail inquiries to hotline.iris@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background EPA’s IRIS is a human health assessment program that evaluates quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that may result from exposure to specific chemical substances found in the environment. Through the IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest quality sciencebased human health assessments to support the Agency’s regulatory activities. The IRIS database contains information for more than 540 chemical substances that can be used to support the first two steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of the risk assessment process. When supported by available data, IRIS provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference concentrations (RfCs) for chronic noncancer health effects and cancer assessments. Combined with specific exposure information, government and private entities use IRIS to help characterize public health risks of chemical substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk management decisions designed to protect public health. This data call-in is a new step in the IRIS process. As literature searches are completed, the results will be posted on the IRIS Web site (https://www.epa.gov/ iris). The public is invited to review the literature search results and submit additional information to EPA. Request for Public Involvement in IRIS Assessments EPA is soliciting public involvement in assessments on the IRIS agenda, including new assessments starting in 2010. While EPA conducts a thorough literature search for each chemical E:\FR\FM\07MYN1.SGM 07MYN1
