Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for Review and Approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Comments Requested, 6132-6133 [2011-2382]

Download as PDF 6132 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 23 / Thursday, February 3, 2011 / Notices jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES changed substantively since the last renewal, EPA is not substantively revising the ICR supporting statement at this time, but is accepting comment on areas that may need revisions or updating. Burden Statement: The average annual reporting and recordkeeping burdens for this collection of information on a newly regulated facility for which an FRP is not required (i.e., facility where the owner or operator certifies that the facility does not meet the ‘‘substantial harm’’ criteria) is estimated to be 0.4 hour per year. The average annual reporting and recordkeeping burdens on a newly regulated facility for which an FRP is required (i.e., first-year costs for plan development) are estimated at 240.1 hours per year. The average annual reporting and recordkeeping burdens on a facility for which the owner or operator is maintaining an FRP (i.e., subsequent year costs for annual plan maintenance) are estimated at 99.7 hours. 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 supporting statement provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 22,574. Frequency of response: Less than once per year. Estimated total annual burden hours: 432,627 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $17,427,828 includes $29,483 annualized capital costs. Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval? EPA estimates that there is no substantive change in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This conclusion is based on EPA’s current inventory of VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:31 Feb 02, 2011 Jkt 223001 facilities that have submitted and are maintaining an FRP as per 40 CFR part 112. EPA has not amended the FRP regulation since the last ICR renewal that would affect the per-facility regulatory burden. 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. Dated: January 19, 2011.
