In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide.

To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation. What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to? Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are S/L/Ts participating in this voluntary program. These government establishments are classified as Air and Water Resource and Solid Waste Management Programs under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 9511 and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 92411. No industries under any SIC or NAICS codes will be included among respondents. Title: Application Requirements for the Approval and Delegation of Federal Air Toxics Programs to State, Territorial, Local, and Tribal Agencies. ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1643.07, OMB Control No. 2060–0264. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on January 31, 2011. 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: This information collection is an application from State, territorial, local, or tribal agencies (S/L/Ts) for delegation of regulations developed under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (Act). The five options for delegation are straight delegation, rule adjustment, rule substitution, equivalency by permit, or state program approval. The information is needed and used to determine if the entity submitting an application has met the criteria established in the subpart E rule, codified as 40 CFR part 63, subpart E, in accordance with section 112(l) of the Act. This information is necessary and required for the Administrator to determine the acceptability of approving the S/L/T’s rules, requirements or programs in lieu of the Federal section PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 64723 112 rules or programs. Additionally, it is also necessary for the proper performance of our function, and will be used to ensure that the subpart E approval criteria have been met. The collection of information is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average about 507 hours per S/L/T and 41 hours per application. 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 provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 124 S/L/Ts for maximum achievable control technology standards and 99 S/L/Ts for area source standards per year. Frequency of response: One time per delegation request. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 15. Estimated total annual burden hours: 62,844 hours. Estimated total annual costs: about $3,012,300. This includes an estimated labor burden cost of $2,959,000 and an estimated cost of $53,000 for operation and maintenance costs resulting from photocopying and postage expenses. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? We are in the process of reviewing the key assumptions in the ICR that affect the overall burden estimation. These include, the number of delegation activities expected to occur during the upcoming clearance period, the delegation options most likely to be used by the delegated S/L/Ts, and the burden associated with each of the options. Depending on the outcome of this review, there could be changes in the overall burden estimates. E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM 20OCN1 64724 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 20, 2010 / Notices 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.

Federal Air Toxics Programs to State, Territorial, Local, and Tribal 
Agencies.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1643.07, OMB Control No. 2060-0264.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on January 
31, 2011. 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: This information collection is an application from State, 
territorial, local, or tribal agencies (S/L/Ts) for delegation of 
regulations developed under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (Act). The 
five options for delegation are straight delegation, rule adjustment, 
rule substitution, equivalency by permit, or state program approval. 
The information is needed and used to determine if the entity 
submitting an application has met the criteria established in the 
subpart E rule, codified as 40 CFR part 63, subpart E, in accordance 
with section 112(l) of the Act. This information is necessary and 
required for the Administrator to determine the acceptability of 
approving the S/L/T's rules, requirements or programs in lieu of the 
Federal section 112 rules or programs. Additionally, it is also 
necessary for the proper performance of our function, and will be used 
to ensure that the subpart E approval criteria have been met. The 
collection of information is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average about 
507 hours per S/L/T and 41 hours per application. 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 provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, 
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 124 S/L/Ts for 
maximum achievable control technology standards and 99 S/L/Ts for area 
source standards per year.
    Frequency of response: One time per delegation request.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 
15.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 62,844 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: about $3,012,300. This includes an 
estimated labor burden cost of $2,959,000 and an estimated cost of 
$53,000 for operation and maintenance costs resulting from photocopying 
and postage expenses.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    We are in the process of reviewing the key assumptions in the ICR 
that affect the overall burden estimation. These include, the number of 
delegation activities expected to occur during the upcoming clearance 
period, the delegation options most likely to be used by the delegated 
S/L/Ts, and the burden associated with each of the options. Depending 
on the outcome of this review, there could be changes in the overall 
burden estimates.

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.
