Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it 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. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The State Review 

Framework is an oversight tool designed 

to assess state performance in 

enforcement and compliance assurance. 

The Framework’s goal is to evaluate 

state performance by examining existing 

data to provide a consistent level of 

oversight and develop a uniform 

mechanism by which EPA Regions, 

working collaboratively with their 

states, can ensure that state 

environmental agencies are consistently 

implementing the national compliance 

and enforcement program in order to 

meet agreed-upon goals. Furthermore, 

the Framework is designed to foster 

dialogue on enforcement and 

compliance performance between the 

states that will enhance relationships
