This form collects the following information: —Applicant’s information, to include address, date of birth, contact number(s), email address, and relevant business information (if application is on behalf of a business, corporation, public agency, Tribe, or institution); —Site information (to include GPS coordinates and city/county/state) and reporting individual; and —Application information, to include total amount of Carbon Dioxide-Carp used (pounds), application date(s), adverse incident information (to include date reported to the U.S. Geological Survey), applicator name VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:53 Feb 26, 2024 Jkt 262001 and label number, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit number, and other required permits and permit numbers. • Form 3–2541: 6(a)(2) Adverse Incident Report—Investigator must submit application adverse results to the Service to document any irregularities in the application circumstances or adverse effects on non-target organisms.

The ePermits platform would automate the five forms associated with this proposed information collection. Public burden reduction is a priority for the Service, the Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks, and senior leadership at the Department of the Interior. The intent of the ePermits initiative is to fully automate the permitting and reporting process to improve the customer experience and to reduce time burden on respondents. This system enhances the user experience by allowing users to enter data from any device that has internet access, including personal computers, tablets, and smartphones. It will also link the permit applicant to the Pay.gov system for payment of any associated fees. Title of Collection: Online Program Management System for Carbon Dioxide-Carp. OMB Control Number: 1018–0182. PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14517 Form Numbers: Forms 3–2130, 3– 2163, 3–2164, 3–2191, and 3–2541. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: State and Tribal governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 42. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 42. Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 12 minutes to 1 hour, depending on activity. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 10. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $45,000.00. We estimate that each of the anticipated 10 annual respondents would pay an EPA Maintenance fee of $400, a State registration fee of $252; and an administrative fee of $848 (totaling $15,000 ($1,500 × 10 respondents)). Each respondent will also incur a onetime startup cost of $3,000 (totaling $30,000 ($3,000 × 10 respondents)). An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
