Title: Underground Storage Tanks: 

Technical and Financial Requirements 

and State Program Approval Procedures 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1360.12, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0068. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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. 

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

are displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Subtitle I of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 

as amended, requires that EPA develop 

standards for UST systems, as may be 

necessary, to protect human health and 

the environment, and procedures for 

approving state programs in lieu of the 

federal program. EPA promulgated 

technical and financial requirements for 

owners and operators of USTs at 40 CFR 

part 280, and state program approval 

procedures at 40 CFR part 281. This ICR 

is a comprehensive presentation of all 

information collection requirements 

contained at 40 CFR parts 280 and 281. 

The data collected for new and 

existing UST system operations and 

financial requirements are used by 

owners and operators and/or EPA or the 

implementing agency to monitor results 

of testing, inspections, and operation of 

UST systems, as well as to demonstrate 

compliance with regulations. EPA 

believes strongly that if the minimum 

requirements specified under the 

regulations are not met, neither the 

facilities nor EPA can ensure that UST 

systems are being managed in a manner 

protective of human health and the 

environment. 

EPA uses state program applications 

to determine whether to approve a state 

program. Before granting approval, EPA 

must determine that programs will be 

no less stringent than the federal 

program and contain adequate 

enforcement mechanisms. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 14 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: UST 

facilities and states. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

211,040. 

Frequency of Response: Once, on 

occasion, monthly, and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

6,751,058. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$479,490,266 ($199,841,753 in labor 

costs; $60,337,980 in annualized 

capital/startup costs; and $219,310,531 

in operation and maintenance costs). 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 781,841 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This is due to updated 

respondent universe and burden 

estimates.

Title: Regulatory Pilot Projects 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1755.09, 

OMB Control No. 2010–0026. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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. 

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

are displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This is an information 

collection request renewal that will 

allow for the continued solicitation of 

proposals for innovative pilot projects 

and to allow EPA to continue its 

commitments to monitor the results of 

ongoing pilot tests of regulatory 

innovation. The renewal of this ICR is 

important as it will allow the Agency to 

continue to measure performance 

outcomes of regulatory innovation 

piloting and to assess the broader 

applicability of those pilot projects. The 

ICR is also necessary to allow EPA to 

identify State and Tribal co-regulators as 

well as other stakeholders who are 

interested in partnering with EPA in 

innovative pilot projects, allowing the 

Agency to continue its commitment to 

innovation and regulatory flexibility 

with facilities, communities, and states 

in achieving environmental results. The 

renewal of this ICR will allow the Office 

of Policy to continue to work with 

potential stakeholders on innovative 

approaches to achieve improved 

environmental results. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 5 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: States 

and regulated entities participating in 

EPA regulatory pilot projects. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

832. 

Frequency of Response: Quarterly, 

annually, on occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,680 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$258,694. This is exclusively for labor 

as there are no capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 3,068 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This reflects the 

reduced number of Project XL and State 

Innovation Grant projects reporting as 

those programs come to a close.
