The information provided to EPA includes compliance activities and determinations, and enforcement activities. EPA uses this information to assess progress toward meeting emission requirements developed under the authority of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) to protect and maintain the atmospheric environment and the public health. The EPA and many of the state and local agencies access the data in AFS to assist them in the management of their air pollution control programs. This renewal information collection request (ICR) affects oversight of approximately 39,005 stationary sources by 99 state and local agencies and the Federal EPA. On average, the burden imposed by this collection amounts to approximately one-tenth of a full-time equivalent employee for each small state and local agency, one-fourth of a full-time equivalent employee for each medium sized state and local agency and one and one-tenth of a full-time equivalent employee for each large sized state and local agency for national reporting of compliance and enforcement related data under all of the applicable Clean Air Act programs. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 92 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: State and Local Agencies. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:58 Jul 01, 2011 Jkt 223001 Estimated Number of Respondents: 99. Frequency of Response: Every 60 days. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 54,384. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,843,187 in labor costs. There are no capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 18,689 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a continuing decrease in the number of major sources in the reportable universe and a reported decrease of time and resources available for use in data management by small and medium sized agencies.

    Abstract: Source Compliance and State Action Reporting is an 
activity whereby State, District, Local, and Commonwealth governments 
(hereafter referred to as either ``states/locals'' or ``state and local 
agencies'') make air compliance and enforcement information available 
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) on a 
cyclic basis via input to the Air Facility System (AFS). The 
information provided to EPA includes compliance activities and 
determinations, and enforcement activities. EPA uses this information 
to assess progress toward meeting emission requirements developed under 
the authority of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) to protect and 
maintain the atmospheric environment and the public health. The EPA and 
many of the state and local agencies access the data in AFS to assist 
them in the management of their air pollution control programs. This 
renewal information collection request (ICR) affects oversight of 
approximately 39,005 stationary sources by 99 state and local agencies 
and the Federal EPA. On average, the burden imposed by this collection 
amounts to approximately one-tenth of a full-time equivalent employee 
for each small state and local agency, one-fourth of a full-time 
equivalent employee for each medium sized state and local agency and 
one and one-tenth of a full-time equivalent employee for each large 
sized state and local agency for national reporting of compliance and 
enforcement related data under all of the applicable Clean Air Act 
programs.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 92 
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: State and Local Agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 99.
    Frequency of Response: Every 60 days.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 54,384.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,843,187 in labor costs. There are 
no capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 18,689 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a continuing decrease in 
the number of major sources in the reportable universe and a reported 
decrease of time and resources available for use in data management by 
small and medium sized agencies.
