The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 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 Regional Haze Rule (2017 rule revision),1 for the period between September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2026, and renews the previous ICR. The Regional Haze Rule codified at 40 CFR parts 308 and 309, as authorized by sections 169A and 169B of the Clean Air Act, requires states to develop implementation plans to protect visibility in 156 federally protected Class I areas. Tribes may choose to develop implementation plans. For this period, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be developing and submitting 2nd planning period progress reports pursuant to 40 CFR 51.308(g) and 40 CFR 51.309(d)(10). In accordance with the 2017 rule revision, the progress reports associated with the 2nd planning period are not required to be submitted as SIP revisions. Further, 13 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be developing and submitting periodic comprehensive implementation plan revisions for the 2nd planning period to comply with the regulations. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are state, local and tribal air quality agencies, regional planning organizations and facilities potentially regulated under the Regional Haze Rule. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory [see 40 CFR 51.308(b), (f) and (g)]. Estimated number of respondents: 52 (total); 52 state agencies. Frequency of response: Approximately every 5 years. Total estimated burden: 14,459 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $850,478.38 (per year). There are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is decrease of 23,796 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease in burden reflects changes in labor rates and changes in the activities conducted due to the normal progression of the program. In the currently approved ICR, the 1 Final Rule: Protection of Visibility: Amendments to Requirements for State Plans, 82 FR 3078, January 10, 2017. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:54 Mar 30, 2023 Jkt 259001 estimated respondent burden assumed 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands would be developing and submitting comprehensive State Implementation Plans (SIPs), which were due by July 31, 2021. In practice, 37 states and the District of Columbia submitted SIPs during the currently approved ICR period. Within the proposed ICR, the estimated respondent burden assumes that all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be developing and submitting progress reports by January 31, 2025, while 13 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be submitting outstanding periodic comprehensive SIP revisions.

It represents an update of the 2013 Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) for Lead (Pb) (EPA/600/R–10/075F). The ISA, in conjunction with additional technical and policy assessments, provides the scientific foundation for EPA’s decisions on the adequacy of the current NAAQS and the appropriateness of possible alternative standards.

The date and location of a public meeting for the CASAC to discuss its review of this document will be specified in a separate Federal Register notice (FRN).
