ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. 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 display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR Part 9. Abstract: The State Review Framework (‘‘Framework’’) is an oversight tool designed to assess state performance in enforcement and compliance assurance. The Framework’s goal is to evaluate state performance by examining existing data to provide a consistent level of oversight and develop a uniform mechanism by which EPA Regions, working collaboratively with their states, can ensure that state environmental agencies are consistently implementing the national compliance and enforcement program in order to meet agreed-upon goals. Furthermore, the Framework is designed to foster E:\FR\FM\06DEN1.SGM 06DEN1 emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2013 / Notices dialogue on enforcement and compliance performance between the states that will enhance relationships and increase feedback, which will in turn lead to consistent program management and improved environmental results. The Framework is described in the April 26, 2005, Federal Register Notice (79 FR 21408) [https://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/ pdf/05-8320.pdf]. This amendment will allow OECA to collect information from enforcement and compliance files reviewed during routine on-site visits of state or local agency offices that will assist in the evaluation of the State Review Framework implementation from FY 2014 to the end of FY 2017. This request will allow EPA to make inquiries to assess the State Review Framework process, including the consistency achieved among the EPA Regions and states, the resources required to conduct the reviews, and the overall effectiveness of the program. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 521 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: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 54. Frequency of response: Once every five years. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: one. Estimated total annual burden hours: 5,626.8 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $214,725.48. This includes an estimated burden cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

dialogue on enforcement and compliance performance between the states 
that will enhance relationships and increase feedback, which will in

Register Notice (79 FR 21408) [https://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/pdf/05-8320.pdf]. This amendment will allow OECA to collect information

includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of

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:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 54.
    Frequency of response: Once every five years.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:

    Estimated total annual costs: $214,725.48. This includes an 
estimated burden cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and 
operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There has been a decrease in the hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in 
the ICR currently approved by OMB. There has been a decrease in the 
cost in the total estimated respondent burden based on implemented 
program efficiencies.
