clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. The EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, the
EPA will issue another Federal Register
document to announce the submission
of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity
to submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: This ICR is for activities
related to the implementation of the
EPA’s New Source Review (NSR)
program, for the time period between
November 1, 2020 and October 31, 2023,
and renews the previous ICR. Title I,
part C of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the
Act)—‘‘Prevention of Significant
Deterioration,’’ and part D—‘‘Plan
Requirements for Nonattainment
Areas,’’ require all states to adopt
preconstruction review programs for
new or modified stationary sources of
air pollution. In addition, the provisions
of section 110 of the Act include a
requirement for states to have a
preconstruction review program to
manage the emissions from the
construction and modification of any
stationary source of air pollution to
assure that the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards are achieved and
maintained. Tribes may choose to
develop implementation plans to
address these requirements.
Implementing regulations for these
three programs are promulgated at 40
CFR 49.101 through 49.105; 40 CFR
49.151 through 49.173; 40 CFR 51.160
through 51.166; 40 CFR part 51,
Appendix S; and 40 CFR 52.21 and
52.24. In order to receive a construction
permit for a major new source or major
modification, the applicant must
conduct the necessary research, perform
the appropriate analyses and prepare
the permit application with
documentation to demonstrate that their
project meets all applicable statutory
and regulatory NSR requirements.
Specific activities and requirements are
listed and described in the Supporting
Statement for the ICR.
State, local, tribal, or federal
reviewing authorities review permit
applications and provide for public
review of proposed projects and issue
permits based on their consideration of
all technical factors and public input.
The EPA, more broadly, reviews a
fraction of the total applications and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
audits the state and local programs for
their effectiveness. Consequently,
information prepared and submitted by
sources is essential for sources to
receive permits, and for federal, state,
and local environmental agencies to
adequately review the permit
applications and thereby properly
administer and manage the NSR
programs.
Information that is collected is
handled according to EPA’s policies set
forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2,
subpart B—Confidentiality of Business
Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also
section 114(c) of the Act.
Form numbers: 5900–246, 5900–247,
5900–248, 5900–340, 5900–341, 5900–
342, 5900–343, 5900–344, 5900–367,
5900–368, 5900–369, 5900–370, 5900–
371, 5900–372, 5900–390, and 5900–
391.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
those which must apply for and obtain
a preconstruction permit under part C or
D or section 110(a)(2)(C) of title I of the
Act. In addition, state, local, and tribal
reviewing authorities that must review
permit applications and issue permits
are affected entities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 49, subpart
C; 40 CFR part 51, subpart I; 40 CFR part
52, subpart A; 40 CFR part 124, subparts
A and C).
Estimated number of respondents:
73,516 (total); 73,393 industrial facilities
and 123 state, local, and tribal reviewing
authorities.
Frequency of response: On occasion,
as necessary.
Total estimated burden: 5,516,675
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $455,409,456
(per year). This includes $3,847,266
annually in outsourced start-up costs for
preconstruction monitoring.
Changes in estimates: There is no
change in the hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB because the estimated number of
permits of each type has not changed.
There is a slight increase in estimated
costs as labor costs have been updated
from 2016 to 2019 labor rates.
Dated: February 10, 2020.

Acting Director, Air Quality Policy Division.

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
PRA that does not display a valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before April 14,
2020. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@
fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Nicole
Ongele at (202) 418–2991.

Title: Handling Confidential
Information.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit
institutions; Federal Government; and
State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 2,400 respondents; 2,400
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1–2
hours.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4), 18 U.S.C. 1905, and 47 U.S.C.
154(i).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; recordkeeping
and third party disclosure requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 4,300 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature of Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: On August 4, 1998,
the FCC released a Report and Order
(R&O), Examination of Current Policy
Concerning the Treatment of
Confidential Information Submitted to
the Commission, CG Docket No. 96–55.
The R&O included a Model Protective
Order (MPO) that is used, when
appropriate, to grant limited access to
information that the Commission
determines should not be routinely
available for public inspection. The
party granted access to the confidential
information materials must keep a
written record of all copies made and
provide this record to the submitted of
the confidential materials upon request.
This approach was adopted to facilitate
the use of confidential materials under
an MPO, instead of restricting access to
materials. In addition, the FCC amended
47 CFR 0.459(b) to set forth the type of
information that should be included
when a party submits information to the
Commission for which it seeks
confidential treatment. This listing of
types of information to be submitted
was adopted to provide guidance to the
public for confidentiality requests.

The disclosures are intended to
ensure that consumers receive
information regarding the terms and
conditions associated with these
services before they enter into contracts
to subscribe to them.
