What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

the PRA, the EPA specifically solicits 

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. In 

particular, the EPA is requesting 

comments from very small businesses 

(those that employ less than 25) on 

examples of specific additional efforts 

that the EPA could make to reduce the 

paperwork burden for very small 

businesses affected by this collection. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by the 

EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID 

number assigned to this action in the

Title: Restructuring of Stationary 

Source Audit Program. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2355.03, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0652. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2014. 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 the 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 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 ICR concerns the 

reporting of the true value of the audit 

sample to the compliance authority 

(state, local or EPA Regional Office) by 

the accredited audit sample provider 

(AASP) as required in the General 

Provisions of Parts 51, 60, 61 and 63. 

This ICR reflects revisions of the 

previous ICR of 2011, and it covers the 

period of 2014–2016. The number of 

audit sample reports is expected to 

remain stable for 2014–2016. 

A regulated emisson source 

conducting a compliance test would 

purchase an audit sample from an 

AASP. The AASP would report the true 

value of the audit sample to the 

compliance authority (state, local or 

EPA Regional Office). The AASP would, 

in most cases, make the report by 

electronic mail. A report would be made 

for each audit sample that the AASP 

sold to a regulated emission source that 

was conducting an emissions test to 

determine compliance with an emission 

limit. 

Although this ICR has been in place 

for three years, the audit program only 

started being required on June 16, 2013; 

therefore, the cost estimates are on 

historic data of the time that the EPA 

conducted the audit program. 

Burden Statement: The EPA estimates 

that there will be about 1,000 audit 

samples sold each year generating the 

need for about 1,000 reports which 

corresponds to 80 hours burden or 0.08 

hours per response for reporting and 

recordkeeping. The estimated cost 

burden is $5.05 per response or an 

annual burden of $5,050. The annual 

public reporting and recordkeeping 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 294 hours per 

respondent. Burden means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, 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: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 9. 

Frequency of response: There is no 

regular schedule for collecting 

information. The information is event 

driven and information is collected only 

when an AASP supplies an audit 

sample to a user. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

2,646 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$201,116. This includes the cost of 

preparing, validating, distributing and 

reporting the audit results. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

No. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

The EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to the OMB for 

review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, the EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

the OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to the OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
