Download as PDF jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES 25852 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 89 / Monday, May 10, 2010 / Notices General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A). Recordkeeping of parameters related to air pollution control technologies is required. The reports and records will be used to demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations and work practice standards. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 296 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Miscellaneous coating manufacturing facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 133. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 167,572. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $17,007,914, which includes $14,192,714 in labor costs, $30,000 in capital/startup costs, and $2,785,200 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the calculation methodology for labor hours or costs to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. In the previous ICR renewal, the approved annual hour burden was 167,832 hours. The actual annual hour burden as calculated in the previous ICR was 167,572 hours. By this ICR, the VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:18 May 07, 2010 Jkt 220001 Agency is requesting approval of 167,572 hours. Dated: May 3, 2010. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2366.01, OMB Control No. 2040–NEW. E:\FR\FM\10MYN1.SGM 10MYN1 jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 89 / Monday, May 10, 2010 / Notices ICR Status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 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: In order to evaluate current stormwater management practices, the scope of the current State and local programs, current new and redevelopment projects, and any EPA regulation to control long term stormwater discharges from developed sites, EPA is proposing several data collection activities. Because this regulation could impact many different types of entities, the ICR announced today consists of multiple questionnaire instruments designed to collect information from: Owners and developers of residential, commercial, industrial, and non-commercial sites; owners and operators of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) (including transportation-related facilities such as State, county, and local departments of transportation that own/ operate roadway systems); and States and EPA regions which are NPDES permitting authorities. EPA is distributing the Owner/ Developer Questionnaires to collect information on development and redevelopment projects and long term stormwater discharge controls and/or BMPs installed at these projects. EPA is particularly interested in obtaining information on those controls/BMPs that promote onsite stormwater retention. This information will be used to assist EPA in evaluating various regulatory options and determining the project level and nationwide costs and pollutant reductions associated with regulating long-term stormwater discharges associated from newly developed and redeveloped sites. Additionally, EPA will collect financial data to assess the economic impact of the proposed rulemaking. The MS4, Transportation, and NPDES Permitting Authority Questionnaires will collect information on the scope of current State, county and local stormwater programs and the stormwater management practices or standards that are currently required for VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:18 May 07, 2010 Jkt 220001 controlling long term stormwater discharges from developed sites. This includes stormwater program implementation such as jurisdiction, implementation, oversight, enforcement, maintenance and monitoring as well as program requirements such as retrofit of existing development and performance standards, design criteria, or retention practices for long term stormwater discharge control at newly and redeveloped sites. Additionally, EPA will collect associated budget and funding information. EPA intends to use this information to assess existing conditions, regulatory options, and the costs and impact to MS4s, and NPDES Permitting Authorities that may result from a regulation. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 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. The ICR support statement contained in the docket provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 5,516. Frequency of response: Once. Estimated total annual burden hours: 167,669. Estimated total annual costs: $7,009,179. This includes an estimated burden cost of $6,971,692 for labor and $37,487 for operations and maintenance. Dated: May 3, 2010. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    ICR Status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 
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: In order to evaluate current stormwater management

NPDES Permitting Authorities that may result from a regulation.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 
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

data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and 
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR support statement contained in the docket provides a 
detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly 
summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 5,516.
    Frequency of response: Once.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 167,669.
    Estimated total annual costs: $7,009,179. This includes an 
estimated burden cost of $6,971,692 for labor and $37,487 for 
operations and maintenance.
