Abstract: Clean Air Act section 182 and EPA’s regulations (40 CFR part 51, subpart S) establish the requirements for state and local I/M programs that are included in state implementation plans (SIPs). To provide general oversight and support to these programs, EPA requires that state agencies with basic and enhanced I/M programs collect two varieties of reports for submission to the Agency: • An annual report providing general program operating data and summary statistics, addressing the program’s current design and coverage, a summary of testing data, enforcement program efforts, quality assurance and quality control efforts, and other miscellaneous information allowing for an assessment of the program’s relative effectiveness; and • A biennial report on any changes to the program over the two-year period and the impact of such changes, including any deficiencies discovered and corrections made or planned. General program effectiveness is determined by the degree to which a program misses, meets, or exceeds the emission reductions committed to in the state’s approved SIP, which, in turn, must meet or exceed the minimum emission reductions expected from the relevant performance standard, as promulgated under 40 CFR part 51, subpart S, in response to requirements established in section 182 of the Clean Air Act. This information is used by EPA to determine a program’s progress toward meeting requirements under 40 CFR part 51, subpart S, and to provide background information in support of program evaluations.

Abstract: This ICR applies to a contractor who performs response services at sensitive sites with serious security concerns where the Agency and public interest would best be protected through drug testing of contractor employees. The contractor will test employees for the use of marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), and any other controlled substances. Only contractor employees who have been tested within the previous 90 calendar days and have passing drug test results may be directly engaged in on-site response work and/ or on-site related activities at designated sites with significant security concerns. The Agency may request contractors responding to any of these types of incidents to conduct drug testing and apply Government-established suitability criteria in Title 5 CFR Administrative Personnel 731.104 Appointments Subject to Investigation, 732.201 Sensitivity Level Designations and Investigative Requirements, and 736.102 Notice to Investigative Sources, when determining whether employees VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:13 Aug 13, 2018 Jkt 244001 are acceptable to perform on given sites or on specific projects. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Private Contractors. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain a benefit per Title 5 CFR Administrative Personnel 731.104 Appointments Subject to Investigation, 732.201 Sensitivity Level Designations and Investigative Requirements, and 736.102 Notice to Investigative Sources. Estimated number of respondents: 500 (total). Frequency of response: Annual. Total estimated burden: 1,125 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $129,100 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 112 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is an adjustment due to more awarded contracts/orders performed on sensitive sites that require this drug testing for contractor employees.
