Environmental Impact Statements; Notice of Availability, 5670 [2019-02913]

Download as PDF 5670 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2019 / Notices Abstract: The data collected through this information collection consist of ambient air concentration measurements for the seven air pollutants with national ambient air quality standards (i.e., ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, carbon monoxide, PM2.5 and PM10), ozone precursors, meteorological variables at a select number of sites and other supporting measurements. Accompanying the pollutant concentration data are quality assurance/quality control data and air monitoring network design information. The U.S. EPA and others (e.g., state and local air quality management agencies, tribal entities, environmental groups, academic institutions, industrial groups) use the ambient air quality data for many purposes. Some of the more prominent uses include informing the public and other interested parties of an area’s air quality, judging an area’s (e.g., county, city, neighborhood) air quality in comparison with the established health or welfare standards (including both national and local standards), evaluating an air quality management agency’s progress in achieving or maintaining air pollutant levels below the national and local standards, developing and revising State Implementation Plans (SIPs) in accordance with 40 CFR 51, evaluating air pollutant control strategies, developing or revising national control policies, providing data for air quality model development and validation, supporting enforcement actions, documenting episodes and initiating episode controls, air quality trends assessment, and air pollution research. The state and local agencies and tribal entities with responsibility for reporting ambient air quality data and information as requested in this ICR submit these data electronically to the U.S. EPA’s Air Quality System (AQS) database. Quality assurance/quality control records and monitoring network documentation are also maintained by each state and local agency, in AQS electronic format where possible. Although the state and local air pollution control agencies and tribal entities are responsible for the operation of the air monitoring networks, the EPA funds a portion of the total costs through federal grants. These grants generally require an appropriate level of contribution, or ‘‘match,’’ from the state/ local agencies or tribal entities. The costs shown in this renewal are the total costs incurred for the monitoring program regardless of the source of the funding. This practice of using the total cost is consistent with prior ICR submittals and renewals. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:52 Feb 21, 2019 Jkt 247001 Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: State, local and Tribal Air Pollution Control Agencies. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 58). Estimated number of respondents: 168 (total). Frequency of response: Quarterly. Total estimated burden: 1,771,662 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $215,352,864 (per year), includes $81,263,356 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 18,359 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a change in program requirements as well as adjustments to the estimates (e.g. to account for inflation, network growth/ shrinkage, etc. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
