Abstract: The collection of information is necessary in order to receive applications for credit assistance pursuant to section 5024 of the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) of 2014, 33 U.S.C. 3903. The purpose of the WIFIA program is to provide Federal credit assistance in the form of direct loans and loan guarantees to eligible water infrastructure projects. WIFIA requires that an eligible entity submit to the Administrator an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Apr 26, 2023 Jkt 259001 information, as the Secretary or the Administrator may require to receive assistance under WIFIA. In order to satisfy these requirements, EPA must collect an application from prospective borrowers seeking funding. The Letters of Interest and Applications collected from prospective borrowers through this solicitation will be used by the EPA, WIFIA program staff, and reviewers to evaluate applications for credit assistance under the WIFIA eligibility requirements and selection criteria. Form Numbers: EPA 6100–030, 6100– 031, 6100–32, 6100–033, 6100–054, 6100–080. Respondents/affected entities: Corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, federal, state, or local government entities, tribal governments or a consortium of tribal governments, and state infrastructure finance authorities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (section 5024 of WIFIA, 33 U.S.C. 3903). Estimated number of respondents: 105 per year (total). Frequency of response: One per funding round. Total estimated burden: 10,450 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $10,772,065 (per year), which includes $10,000,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 375 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to EPA anticipating fewer collections based on average numbers in the past 3 years. That decrease is offset by a small increase due to a new form.

Abstract: Section 608 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), also known as the National Recycling and Emission Reduction Program (the Program), directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue regulations governing the use of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), during the maintenance, service, repair, or disposal of air-conditioning and refrigeration appliances. Section 608 also prohibits knowingly venting or releasing ozone-depleting and substitute refrigerants in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of appliances or industrial process refrigeration except for de minimis releases associated with good faith attempts to recycle or recover refrigerants. The regulations require persons servicing refrigeration and airconditioning appliances to follow certain service practices that reduce emissions of refrigerants. The regulations also establish certification programs for technicians, recovery/ recycling equipment, and refrigerant reclamation. In addition, EPA requires that refrigerants contained in appliances be removed prior to disposal of the appliances and that all refrigeration and air-conditioning appliances be provided with a servicing aperture that facilitates recovery of the refrigerant. The Agency requires that substantial refrigerant leaks in appliances containing ozonedepleting refrigerant be repaired when they are discovered. Form Numbers: 5900–404, 5900–405, 5900–407. Respondents/affected entities: Entities required to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements include technicians; technician certification programs; refrigerant wholesalers; refrigerant reclaimers; refrigerant recovery equipment certification programs; certain refrigeration and airconditioning equipment owners and/or operators; and other establishments that VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Apr 26, 2023 Jkt 259001 perform refrigerant removal, service, or disposal. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 82, subpart F). Estimated number of respondents: 572,727 (total). Frequency of response: The frequency of responses varies from once a year to daily. Total estimated burden: 425,514 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) Total estimated cost: $31,432,946 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 8,845 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to adjusted respondent estimates for appliance leak repair and retrofit or retirement plan extension requests based on recently available industry data and reported activity.
