20664 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 13, 2011 / Notices 

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, 

and 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 Information Collection 

Request (ICR) seeks authorization for 

Tribes to demonstrate their eligibility to 

be treated in the same manner as states 

under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and to 

submit applications to implement a 

CAA program. This ICR extends the 

current collection of information period 

for determining eligibility, which 

expires May 31, 2011. The ICR also is 

revising the estimates of burden costs 

for Tribes in completing a CAA 

application. 

The program regulation provides for 

Indian Tribes, if they so choose, to 

assume responsibility for the 

development and implementation of 

CAA programs. The regulation, Indian 

Tribes: Air Quality Planning and 

Management (Tribal Authority Rule 

[TAR] 40 CFR parts 9, 35, 49, 50 and 

81), sets forth how Tribes may seek 

authority to implement their own air 

quality planning and management 

programs. The rule establishes: (1) 

Which CAA provisions Indian Tribes 

may seek authority to implement, (2) 

what requirements the Tribes must meet 

when seeking such authorization, and 

(3) what Federal financial assistance 

may be available to help Tribes establish 

and manage their air quality programs. 

The TAR provides Tribes the authority 

to administer air quality programs over 

all air resources, including non-Indian 

owned fee lands, within the exterior 

boundaries of a reservation and other 

areas over which the Tribe can 

demonstrate jurisdiction. An Indian 

Tribe that takes responsibility for a CAA 

program would essentially be treated in 

the same way as a state would be treated 

for that program. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are required to obtain a 

benefit (40 CFR parts 9, 35, 49, 50 and 

81). Any information submitted to the 

Agency for which a claim of 

confidentiality is made will be 

safeguarded according to the Agency 

policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, 

part 2, subpart B—Confidentiality of 

Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 

FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended 

by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 

FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 

17674, March 23, 1979). There is no 

sensitive information required. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 40 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: States, 

locals, Indian Tribes. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 8. 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

application. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

320. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$18,896.00, which includes $0 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 40 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. The total burden hours have 

been updated to reflect new estimates 

that are based on the number of 

applications the EPA received under the 

previous ICR and what EPA estimates it 

will receive in the upcoming years. 

There is no difference between the 

active ICR and this ICR in the number 

of hours per response.

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): 

Availability of List Decisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s action identifying 

water quality limited segments and 

associated pollutants in Louisiana to be 

listed pursuant to Clean Water Act 

Section 303(d), and request for public 

comment. Section 303(d) requires that 

States submit and EPA approve or 

disapprove lists of waters for which 

existing technology-based pollution 

controls are not stringent enough to 

attain or maintain State water quality 

standards and for which total maximum 

daily loads (TMDLs) must be prepared. 

On April 5, 2011, EPA partially 

approved and proposed to partially 

disapprove Louisiana’s 2008 Section 

303(d) submittal. Specifically, EPA 

approved Louisiana’s listing of 409 

waterbody pollutant combinations, and 

associated priority rankings. EPA 

proposed to disapprove Louisiana’s 

decisions not to list three waterbodies. 

These three waterbodies were added by 

EPA because the applicable numeric 

water quality standards marine criterion 

for dissolved oxygen was not attained in 

these segments. EPA is providing the 

public the opportunity to review its 

proposed decisions to add the three 

waters to Louisiana’s 2008 Section 

303(d) List. EPA will consider public 

comments and if necessary amend its 

proposed action on the additional 

waterbodies identified for inclusion on 

Louisiana’s Final 2008 Section 303(d) 

List. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted in 

writing to EPA on or before May 13, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the decisions 

should be sent to Diane Smith, 

Environmental Protection Specialist, 

Water Quality Protection Division, U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Region 6, 1445 Ross Ave., Dallas, TX 

75202-2733, telephone (214) 665–2145, 

facsimile (214) 665–6490, or e-mail: 

smith.diane@epa.gov. Oral comments 

will not be considered. Copies of the 

documents which explain the rationale 

for EPA’s decisions and a list of the 3 

water quality limited segments for 

which EPA proposed disapproval of 

Louisiana’s decisions not to list can be 

obtained at EPA Region 6’s Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/region6/water/ 

npdes/tmdl/index.htm, or by writing or 

calling Ms. Smith at the above address. 

Underlying documents from the 

administrative record for these 

decisions are available for public 

inspection at the above address. Please 

contact Ms. Smith to schedule an 

inspection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) 

requires that each State identify those 

waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not 

stringent enough to attain or maintain 

State water quality standards. For those 

waters, States are required to establish 

Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) 

according to a priority ranking. EPA’s 

Water Quality Planning and 

Management regulations include 

requirements related to the 

implementation of Section 303(d) of the 

CWA (40 CFR 130.7). The regulations 

require States to identify water quality 

limited waters still requiring TMDLs 

every two years. The list of waters still 

needing TMDLs must also include 

priority rankings and must identify the 

waters targeted for TMDL development 

during the next two years (40 CFR 

130.7). On March 31, 2000, EPA 

promulgated a revision to this 

regulation that waived the requirement 

for States to submit Section 303(d) lists 

in 2000 except in cases where a court 

order, consent decree, or settlement 

agreement required EPA to take action 

on a list in 2000 (65 FR 17170). 

Consistent with EPA’s regulations, 

Louisiana submitted to EPA its listing 

decisions under Section 303(d) on 

August 25, 2009. On April 5, 2011, EPA 

approved Louisiana’s listing of 409 

water body-pollutant combinations and 

associated priority rankings. EPA 

proposed to disapprove Louisiana’s 

decisions not to list three waterbodies. 

These three waterbodies were proposed 

for addition by EPA because the 

applicable numeric water quality 

standards marine criterion for dissolved 

oxygen was not attained in these 

segments. EPA solicits public comment 

on its identification of three additional 

waters for inclusion on Louisiana’s 2008 

Section 303(d) List.
