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:
Phosphate fertilizer plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
13.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,373.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$453,090, which includes $132,900 in
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and
$320,190 in operation and maintenance
(O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in burden from the most
recently approved ICR is due to an
adjustment of respondent and Agency
labor hours. The previous ICR assumed
that burden hours accounted for all
technical, managerial, and clerical
hours. To be consistent with the
estimation methodology used in other
ICRs, this ICR assumes that labor hours
account for technical hours only.
Clerical and managerial hours require
additional time, and equal 10 and 5
percent of technical hours, respectively.
Additionally, this ICR uses updated
labor rates, resulting in an increase to
the total burden costs.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. 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. At that time, EPA
PO 00000
Frm 00030

will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: This ICR covers the usage of
TANAs with members of the impacted
community in order to determine how
the community is receiving technical
information about a Superfund remedial
or removal site; whether the community
needs additional assistance in order to
understand and respond to site-related
technical information; and whether
there are organizations in the
community that are interested or
involved in site-related issues and
capable of acting as an appropriate
conduit for technical assistance services
to the affected community. Given the
specific nature of the TANA, 8 to 10
persons will be interviewed per site,
with an estimated total of 250 persons
being interviewed per year (25 sites).
Responses to the collection of
information are voluntary and the
names of respondents will be protected
by the Privacy Act. The TANA will help
ensure the community’s needs for
technical assistance are defined as early
in the remedial/removal process as
possible and enable meaningful
community involvement in the
Superfund decision-making process.
Additionally, the TANA process
produces a blueprint for designing a
coordinated effort to meet the
community’s needs for additional
technical assistance while minimizing
the overlap of services provided.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Respondents to this ICR are local/state
government officials, potentiallyresponsible party (PRP) representatives,
and individual community members
who may be impacted by a Superfund
site or a removal action lasting 120 days
or longer. These community members
voluntarily participate in community
involvement activities throughout the
remedial phase of the Superfund
process. SIC Codes are OSHA’s
Standard Industrial Classification
System used to identify different
groups. Local/state governments are
categorized as Division J: Public
Administration, Major Group 95:
Administration of Environmental
Quality, subgroup 9511: Air and Water
Resource and Solid Waste Management.
The other respondents, community
members, do not have a SIC Code as
they do not constitute an industry.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
250 (per year).
Frequency of response: Once during
the remediation of the Site. Each TANA
