Download as PDF amozie on DSK9F9SC42PROD with NOTICES 18278 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 83 / Tuesday, April 30, 2019 / Notices appropriately regulated and will not harm human health and the marine environment, based on applying the Ocean Dumping Criteria. The Ocean Dumping Criteria consider, among other things: The environmental impact of the dumping; the need for the dumping; the effect of the dumping on esthetic, recreational, or economic values; landbased alternatives to ocean dumping; and the adverse effects of the dumping on other uses of the ocean. The Ocean Dumping Criteria are codified in 40 CFR parts 227–228. To meet U.S. reporting obligation under the London Convention, an international treaty on ocean dumping, EPA also reports some of this information in the annual United States Ocean Dumping Report. EPA uses ocean dumping information to make decisions regarding whether to issue or deny such permits, as well as to impose any necessary conditions on permits issued by EPA in order to ensure consistency with the Ocean Dumping Criteria. EPA uses monitoring and reporting data from permittees to assess compliance with ocean dumping permits, including associated monitoring activities. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Any private person, entity, or state, local, or foreign governments. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit, specifically permit authorization and/or compliance with permits required under MPRSA sections 102 and 104, 33 U.S.C. 1402 & 1404, and implementing regulations at 40 CFR parts 220–229. Estimated number of respondents: 2,768 respondents per year (total). Frequency of response: Varies greatly depending on the respondent/entities needs to obtain or retain the benefits entailed in 40 CFR parts 220–229. Total estimated burden: 3,497 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $344,066 (per year), which includes $165,872 for capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant increase in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. There is an increase of 290 hours due to an increase in the number of responses and updated reporting burden estimates. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
