Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 146 / Tuesday, August 1, 2023 / Notices
monitoring network documentation are
also maintained by each state and local
agency, in AQS electronic format where
possible.
Although the state and local air
pollution control agencies and tribal
entities are responsible for the operation
of the air monitoring networks, the EPA
funds a portion of the total costs
through federal grants. The costs shown
in this renewal are the total costs
incurred for the monitoring program
regardless of the source of the funding.
This practice of using the total cost is
consistent with prior ICR submittals and
renewals.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: State,
Local, and Tribal Air Pollution Control
Agencies.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 58).
Estimated number of respondents:
168 (total).
Frequency of response: Quarterly.
Total estimated burden: 1,449,968
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b)
Total estimated cost: $181,278,444
(per year), includes $70,147,486
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: This is a
decrease of 321,694 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due
to the consolidation of monitors into
fewer sites, consolidation of PAMS
network burden estimates to avoid
double counting, termination of
unnecessary monitors, and more
efficient automated procedures (e.g.,
moving from manual samplers to
automated continuous samplers) for
measuring and reporting data. The
decrease is offset somewhat by the
additional burden and cost estimates
included for asset management and
sensors.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The authority for EPA’s oil
pollution prevention requirements is
derived from section 311(j)(1)(C) of the
Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990. EPA’s regulation
is codified at 40 CFR part 112. Although
the owner or operator is the primary
data user, EPA may also require the
owner or operator to submit data to the
Agency in certain situations to ensure
facilities comply with the SPCC
regulation and to help allocate response
resources. State and local governments
may use the data, which are not

generally available elsewhere and can
assist local emergency preparedness
planning efforts.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners or operators of facilities
required to have Spill Prevention,
Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC)
plans under the Oil Pollution
Prevention regulation (40 CFR part 112)
and which, because of their location,
could reasonably be expected to cause
substantial harm to the environment.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory, pursuant to 40 CFR 112.3(e).
Estimated number of respondents:
549,362 (total).
Frequency of response: Facilities must
prepare and implement an SPCC Plan
before beginning operations and review,
evaluate, and update the SPCC Plan
every five years. In the event of certain
discharges of oil into navigable waters,
a facility owner or operator must submit
certain information to the Regional
Administrator within 60 days.
Total estimated burden: 6,625,194
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $893,604,697
(per year), which includes $208,724,033
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an
increase of 315,671 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase is due to changes in
the universe of regulated facilities after
accounting for changes in the numbers
and types of existing and newly
regulated facilities in the new ICR
period, as well as small adjustments in
unit burden estimates for activities
associated with SPCC Plan
amendments. While the universe of
regulated facilities decreases by less
than one percent during the new ICR
period; (549,362 vs. 549,785
respondents), a slightly higher
proportion of this universe consists of
regulated facilities with a relatively
greater unit burden.
