Title: Underground Storage Tanks:
Technical and Financial Requirements
and State Program Approval Procedures
(Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1360.12,
OMB Control No. 2050–0068.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on March 31, 2011. 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
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: Subtitle I of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
as amended, requires that EPA develop
standards for UST systems, as may be
necessary, to protect human health and
the environment, and procedures for
approving state programs in lieu of the
federal program. EPA promulgated
technical and financial requirements for
owners and operators of USTs at 40 CFR
part 280, and state program approval
procedures at 40 CFR part 281. This ICR
is a comprehensive presentation of all
information collection requirements
contained at 40 CFR parts 280 and 281.
The data collected for new and
existing UST system operations and
financial requirements are used by
owners and operators and/or EPA or the
implementing agency to monitor results
of testing, inspections, and operation of
UST systems, as well as to demonstrate
compliance with regulations. EPA
believes strongly that if the minimum
requirements specified under the
regulations are not met, neither the
facilities nor EPA can ensure that UST
systems are being managed in a manner
protective of human health and the
environment.
EPA uses state program applications
to determine whether to approve a state
program. Before granting approval, EPA
must determine that programs will be
no less stringent than the federal
program and contain adequate
enforcement mechanisms.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:47 Mar 02, 2011
Jkt 223001
estimated to average 14 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: UST
facilities and states.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
211,040.
Frequency of Response: Once, on
occasion, monthly, and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
6,751,058.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$479,490,266 ($199,841,753 in labor
costs; $60,337,980 in annualized
capital/startup costs; and $219,310,531
in operation and maintenance costs).
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 781,841 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This is due to updated
respondent universe and burden
estimates.
Dated: February 25, 2011.

Title: Regulatory Pilot Projects
(Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1755.09,
OMB Control No. 2010–0026.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on March 31, 2011. 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
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 is an information
collection request renewal that will
allow for the continued solicitation of
proposals for innovative pilot projects
and to allow EPA to continue its
commitments to monitor the results of
ongoing pilot tests of regulatory
innovation. The renewal of this ICR is
important as it will allow the Agency to
continue to measure performance
outcomes of regulatory innovation
piloting and to assess the broader
applicability of those pilot projects. The
ICR is also necessary to allow EPA to
identify State and Tribal co-regulators as
well as other stakeholders who are
interested in partnering with EPA in
innovative pilot projects, allowing the
Agency to continue its commitment to
innovation and regulatory flexibility
with facilities, communities, and states
in achieving environmental results. The
renewal of this ICR will allow the Office
of Policy to continue to work with
potential stakeholders on innovative
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
approaches to achieve improved
environmental results.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 5 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 provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Respondents/Affected Entities: States
and regulated entities participating in
EPA regulatory pilot projects.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
832.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly,
annually, on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
4,680 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$258,694. This is exclusively for labor
as there are no capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 3,068 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This reflects the
reduced number of Project XL and State
Innovation Grant projects reporting as
those programs come to a close.
