Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are owners and 

operators of major sources as defined by 

any title of the Clean Air Act and 

required to apply for and obtain an 

operating permit under title V of the 

Clean Air Act as amended by the Clean 

Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the Act). 

Title: Information Collection Request 

Update for the 40 CFR Part 64 

Compliance Assurance Monitoring 

Program, OMB control number 2060–

0376, ICR number 1663.02, expiring 

November 30, 2004. 

Abstract: The Act contains several 

provisions directing us to require source 

owners to conduct monitoring to 

support certification as to their status of 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. These provisions are set 

forth title V (operating permits 

provisions) and title VII (enforcement 

provisions) of the Act. Title V directs us 

to implement monitoring and 

certification requirements through the 

operating permits program. Section 

504(b) of the Act allows us to prescribe 

by rule methods and procedures for 

determining compliance recognizing 

that continuous emissions monitoring 

systems need not be required if other 

procedures or methods provide 

sufficiently reliable and timely 

information for determining 

compliance. Under section 504(c), each 

operating permit must ‘‘set forth 

inspection, entry, monitoring, 

compliance, certification, and reporting 

requirements to assure compliance with 

the permit terms and conditions.’’

Section 114(a)(3) requires us to 

promulgate rules for enhanced 

monitoring and compliance 

certifications. Section 114(a)(1) of the 

Act provides additional authority 

concerning monitoring, reporting, and 

record keeping requirements. This 

section provides the Administrator with 

the authority to require any owner or 

operator of a source to install and 

operate monitoring systems and to 

record the resulting monitoring data. We 

promulgated the Compliance Assurance 

Monitoring rule, part 64, on October 22, 

1997 (62 FR 54900) to implement these 

authorities. 

In accordance with these provisions, 

the monitoring information source 

owners must submit must also be 

available to the public, except as 

entitled top protection from disclosure 

as allowed in section 114(c) of the Act. 

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 40 CFR are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

We are soliciting comments to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

Burden Statement: Based on the 

Agency’s knowledge of the number of 

title V permits issued since 1997 and 

the implementation of part 64 through 

permit renewals, the expected impact of 

the 40 CFR part 64 Compliance 

Assurance Monitoring (CAM) Program 

for the 3 years from October 1, 2004 

until September 30, 2007 is 52,000 

hours. The CAM rule will incur an 

average annual cost of $2.5 million in 

2004 dollars. This includes an 

annualized capital and operation and 

maintenance cost of $70,000. 

The CAM program burden for source 

owners or operators means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

monitoring 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 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 192 / Tuesday, October 5, 2004 / Notices 59591

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; 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. We have also 

included annualized capital and 

operational and maintenance costs for 

monitoring programs in the cost burden 

calculation. The CAM program over the 

years 2004 through 2007 potentially 

affects 240 large pollutant-specific 

emissions units plus 2440 other 

pollutant-specific emissions units 

nationwide. The annual burden for 

source owners or operators is 5,550 

hours for large pollutant-specific 

emissions units and 46,650 hours for 

other pollutant-specific emissions units. 

During the period, permitting 

authorities will review CAM submittals 

from source owners or operators whose 

permits have already been issued and 

are renewing those permits as the 5-year 

permit terms expire. Permitting 

authorities will also be interacting with 

the source owners or operators in 

addressing the CAM in semi-annual 

monitoring reports and reporting CAM 

data as necessary. We estimate the 

annual CAM burden to permitting 

authorities to be 21,500 hours and about 

$1.5 million. 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.

Dated: September 22, 2004. 

William Lamason, 

Acting Director, Emissions Monitoring and 

Analysis Division.
