Abstract: The State Review 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 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. This request 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 2020 to the end of FY 2023. It will allow also 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. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: States, localities, and territories. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required as part of program authorization under the Clean Water, Clean Air, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Acts. Estimated number of respondents: 54. Frequency of response: Once every five years. Total estimated burden: 2,358 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $86,982 (per year). Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 36 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to using a different sampling of respondents to provide the hourly estimates, in addition to the respondents’ continued experience with the review process and PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 collective efforts to make the review more efficient.

Total Annual Burden: 300 hours. Total Annual Cost: No Cost. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 48927 Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Information collected on FCC Form 833 is made available for public inspection, and the Commission is not requesting that respondents submit confidential information as part of the pre-auction application process. For individuals, the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, is the statutory authority for confidentiality and applies to this information collection. To the extent the information submitted pursuant to this information collection is determined to be confidential, it will be protected by the Commission. If a respondent seeks to have certain information collected on FCC Form 833 withheld from public inspection, the respondent may request confidential treatment of such information pursuant to section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR 0.459. Privacy Act: The Commission will determine if a Privacy Impact Assessment is required. Needs and Uses: In August 2019, the Commission adopted the 833 Auction Procedures Public Notice (FCC 19–75), which established application and bidding procedures for the 833 Auction and required the use of FCC Form 833 to apply to participate in the auction. The Commission’s rules and related requirements are designed to ensure that the competitive bidding process for assigning toll free numbers is limited to qualified applicants, deter possible abuse of the bidding process, and enhance the use of competitive bidding to assign toll free numbers in furtherance of the public interest. Applicants will use FCC Form 833 to submit the required disclosures and certifications, and the information collected on FCC Form 833 will then be reviewed to determine if an applicant is qualified to bid in the 833 code toll free number auction (833 Auction). The 833 Auction will not be able to occur without the collection of information on FCC Form 833. Without the information collected on FCC Form 833, a determination of whether the applicant is qualified to bid in the 833 Auction cannot be made. The Commission received emergency approval from OMB for the information collection requirements contained in OMB Control Number 3060–1264 on September 9, 2019. Federal Communications Commission.
