malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all
affected facilities subject to NSPS.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Ammonium sulfate manufacturing
facilities in the caprolactam by-product,
synthetic, and coke oven by-products
sectors of the ammonium sulfate
manufacturing industry.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart PP).
Estimated number of respondents: 2
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially and
semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 286 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $34,300 (per
year), which includes $0 in annualized
capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This is due to two
considerations: (1) the regulations have
not changed over the past three years
and are not anticipated to change over
the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden. Since
there are no changes in the regulatory
requirements and there is no significant
industry growth, there are also no
changes in the capital/startup or
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents, which explain
in detail the information that the EPA
will be collecting, are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket
can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the
EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room

Abstract: This information collection
request will allow EPA to employ a
contractor to compile data from private
companies providing compliance testing
to owners of federally regulated
underground storage tank systems
(USTs). The completed dataset of test
results will allow EPA to evaluate the
effectiveness of several of the newly
required measures to prevent fuel
releases included in the 2015 federal
UST regulation: spill containment
liquid tightness testing, containment
sump liquid tightness testing (for
containment sumps used for interstitial
monitoring of piping of single-wall
construction), overfill equipment
inspections, and two types of annual
leak detection equipment testing. EPA is
interested in quantitatively assessing if
passing rates improve between initial
and subsequent rounds of testing in the
15 states from which data will be
collected. EPA will use the data to
identify if, and by how much, testing
required by the regulation impacts
equipment performance over time. EPA
will use this information to enhance
national UST program performance.
EPA will share the information gathered
from this collection with all state
implementing agencies, who could use
the results to better inform their future
regulations, policies, and guidance for
preventing UST releases. Sharing this
information will help states implement
their programs better, which will help
EPA execute national UST program
goals and better protect human health
and the environment.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: UST
testing and compliance companies, UST
facility owners and operators.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents: 60.
Frequency of response: One-time
collection.
Total estimated burden: 1,275 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $53,398.75 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.

verify the eligibility of applicants to and
subscribers of Lifeline, and the
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP),
both of which are administered by
USAC under the direction of the FCC.
More information about these programs
is provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below.
DATES: Written comments are due on or
before October 11, 2022. This computer
matching program will commence on
October 11, 2022, and will conclude 18
months after the effective date.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Elliot S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Lifeline program provides support for
discounted broadband and voice
services to low-income consumers.
Lifeline is administered by the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) under FCC direction.
Consumers qualify for Lifeline through
proof of income or participation in a
qualifying program, such as Medicaid,
the Supplemental Nutritional
Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal
Public Housing Assistance,
Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit,
or various Tribal-specific federal
assistance programs.
In the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2021, Public Law 116–260, 134
Stat. 1182, 2129–36 (2020), Congress
created the Emergency Broadband
Benefit Program, and directed use of the
National Verifier to determine eligibility
based on various criteria, including the
qualifications for Lifeline (Medicaid,
SNAP, etc.). EBBP provided $3.2 billion
in monthly consumer discounts for
broadband service and one-time
provider reimbursement for a connected
device (laptop, desktop computer or
tablet). In the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act, Public Law 117–58, 135
Stat. 429, 1238–44 (2021) (codified at 47
U.S.C. 1751–52), Congress modified and
extended EBBP, provided an additional
$14.2 billion, and renamed it the
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
A household may qualify for the ACP
benefit under various criteria, including
an individual qualifying for the FCC’s
Lifeline program.
In a Report and Order adopted on
March 31, 2016, (81 FR 33026, May 24,
2016) (2016 Lifeline Modernization
Order), the Commission ordered USAC
to create a National Lifeline Eligibility
Verifier (‘‘National Verifier’’), including
the National Lifeline Eligibility Database

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

(LED), that would match data about
Lifeline applicants and subscribers with
other data sources to verify the
eligibility of an applicant or subscriber.
The Commission found that the
National Verifier would reduce
compliance costs for Lifeline service
providers, improve service for Lifeline
subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud,
and abuse in the program.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act
of 2021 directs the FCC to leverage the
National Verifier to verify applicants’
eligibility for ACP. The purpose of this
matching program is to verify the
eligibility of Lifeline and ACP
applicants and subscribers by
determining whether they receive SNAP
benefits administered by the Mississippi
Department of Human Services.
Participating Agencies
Mississippi Department of Human
Services.
Authority for Conducting the Matching
Program
The authority for the FCC’s ACP is
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,
Public Law 117–58, 135 Stat. 429, 1238–
44 (2021) (codified at 47 U.S.C. 1751–
52); 47 CFR part 54. The authority for
the FCC’s Lifeline program is 47 U.S.C.
254; 47 CFR 54.400 through 54.423;
Lifeline and Link Up Reform and
Modernization, et al., Third Report and
Order, Further Report and Order, and
Order on Reconsideration, 31 FCC Rcd
3962, 4006–21, paras. 126–66 (2016)
(2016 Lifeline Modernization Order).
Purpose(s)
The purpose of this modified
matching agreement is to verify the
eligibility of applicants and subscribers
to Lifeline, as well as to ACP and other
Federal programs that use qualification
for Lifeline as an eligibility criterion.
This new agreement will permit
eligibility verification for the Lifeline
program and ACP by checking an
applicant’s/subscriber’s participation in
SNAP in Mississippi. Under FCC rules,
consumers receiving these benefits
qualify for Lifeline discounts and also
for ACP benefits.
Categories of Individuals
The categories of individuals whose
information is involved in the matching
program include, but are not limited to,
those individuals who have applied for
Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; are
currently receiving Lifeline and/or ACP
benefits; are individuals who enable
another individual in their household to
qualify for Lifeline and/or ACP benefits;
are minors whose status qualifies a
parent or guardian for Lifeline and/or
