Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for consideration by EPA’s Federal advisory committees has a different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices. Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a Federal advisory committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an EPA program office. Federal advisory committees provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the public may submit comments on matters being considered by the EFAB for consideration as the Board develops its advice and recommendations to EPA. Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to three minutes each. Persons interested in providing oral statements at the October 2023 meeting should register in advance and provide notification, as noted in the registration confirmation, by October 18, 2023, to be placed on the list of registered speakers. Written Statements: Written statements should be received by October 16, 2023, so that the information can be made available to the EFAB for its consideration prior to the meeting. Written statements should be sent via email to efab@epa.gov. Members of the public should be aware that their personal contact information, if included in any written comments, may be posted to the EFAB website. Copyrighted material will not be posted without explicit permission of the copyright holder. Accessibility: For information on access or services for individuals with disabilities or to request accommodations for a disability, please register for the meeting and list any special requirements or accommodations needed on the registration form at least 10 business days prior to the meeting to allow as much time as possible to process your request.

    Changes in Estimates: There is decrease of 22,409 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease in burden reflects changes in the 
activities conducted due to the normal progression of the program, 
especially the fact 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 14 states/territories will be 
submitting periodic comprehensive State Implementation Plan (SIP)

would be developing and submitting comprehensive SIP revisions.
