ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012. 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: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the Air Emissions Reporting Requirements (AERR) on December 17, 2008 (73 FR 76539). The AERR consolidated and streamlined previous requirements of several older rules for State, Territorial, and local air pollution control agencies to report air emissions to the EPA annually. The ICR is being submitted to renew EPA’s authority to collect air emissions-related information from States and local agencies for the three-year cycle that will include emissions reporting for inventory years 2012, 2013, and 2014, which are due to be reported on December 31 of the year following each inventory year. Under the final AERR ICR, 55 State and Territorial air quality agencies, including the District of Columbia (DC), and an estimated 49 local air quality agencies, must annually submit emissions data for point sources emitting specified levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter E:\FR\FM\27MRN1.SGM 27MRN1 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 27, 2012 / Notices less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10), particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5), and ammonia (NH3). Every 3 years, States are required to submit a point source inventory, as well as a statewide stationary nonpoint, onroad mobile, and nonroad mobile source inventory for all criteria pollutants and their precursors. The emissions data submitted for the annual and 3-year cycle inventories are used by EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) to assist in developing ambient air quality emission standards, performing regional modeling, and preparing national trends assessments and other special analyses and reports. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 656 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, territorial and local government air quality management programs. Estimated Number of Respondents: 104. Frequency of Response: Annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 68,192. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,735,411, which includes $116,480 annualized capital and O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 17,097 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to calculation differences either in the incremental change estimates from the CERR (2060–0088) and NOX SIP Call (2060–0445) ICRs to the original AERR ICR approval or to the annualization of the burden hours for the 3-year VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:14 Mar 26, 2012 Jkt 226001 reporting cycle in the original AERR ICR approval.

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to

    Abstract: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
promulgated the Air Emissions Reporting Requirements (AERR) on December 
17, 2008 (73 FR 76539). The AERR consolidated and streamlined previous 
requirements of several older rules for State, Territorial, and local 
air pollution control agencies to report air emissions to the EPA 
annually. The ICR is being submitted to renew EPA's authority to 
collect air emissions-related information from States and local 
agencies for the three-year cycle that will include emissions reporting 
for inventory years 2012, 2013, and 2014, which are due to be reported 
on December 31 of the year following each inventory year.
    Under the final AERR ICR, 55 State and Territorial air quality 
agencies, including the District of Columbia (DC), and an estimated 49 
local air quality agencies, must annually submit emissions data for 
point sources emitting specified levels of oxides of nitrogen 
(NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide 
(SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter

[[Page 18245]]

less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10), 
particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter 
(PM2.5), and ammonia (NH3).
    Every 3 years, States are required to submit a point source 
inventory, as well as a statewide stationary nonpoint, onroad mobile, 
and nonroad mobile source inventory for all criteria pollutants and 
their precursors. The emissions data submitted for the annual and 3-
year cycle inventories are used by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning 
and Standards (OAQPS) to assist in developing ambient air quality 
emission standards, performing regional modeling, and preparing 
national trends assessments and other special analyses and reports.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 656 
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, territorial and local 
government air quality management programs.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 104.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 68,192.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,735,411, which includes $116,480 
annualized capital and O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 17,097 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to calculation differences 
either in the incremental change estimates from the CERR (2060-0088) 
and NOX SIP Call (2060-0445) ICRs to the original AERR ICR 
approval or to the annualization of the burden hours for the 3-year 
reporting cycle in the original AERR ICR approval.
