Title: CAMEO Software Usability 

Evaluation Survey. 

Abstract: The Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA), Office of 

Emergency Prevention, Preparedness 

and Response (OEPPR), is requesting an 

Information Collection Request (ICR) to 

conduct a nationwide survey of 

Computer-aided Management of 

Emergency Operations (CAMEO) Web 

site listserv members and users to 

determine user satisfaction with the 

CAMEO software and its features. 

CAMEO is a system of software 

applications used widely to plan for and 

respond to chemical emergencies. It is 

one of the tools developed by EPA to 

assist front-line chemical emergency 

planners and responders. Users can 

employ CAMEO to access, store, and 

evaluate information critical for 

developing emergency plans. In 

addition, CAMEO supports regulatory 

compliance by helping users meet the 

chemical inventory reporting 

requirement of SARA Title III. CAMEO 

has been in use by local emergency 

planners, first responders, state and 

tribal groups, and industry personnel 

since 1988. During the intervening 

years, EPA surveyed CAMEO users in 

1994 and 1997 to identify needed 

changes and enhancements. While these 

previous surveys were the starting point 

of the current CAMEO survey, survey 

materials have been modified to capture 

emerging needs of users, particularly as 

they relate to the availability of 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know (EPCRA) and Risk 

Management Program Rule data.

The survey will be conducted via the 

Internet after 600 names are randomly 

selected from the CAMEO Listserv. EPA 

will send prior notification to the entire 

Listserv (6,000–7,000 names) informing 

users of the survey and the process. EPA 

will send a message to the 600 selected 

participants with a link to the Webbased survey; there will be no 

passwords to access the survey. In 

completing the survey, EPA will not 

require participants to provide any 

identifying information. 

The primary goals of this research are 

to: (i) Evaluate customer satisfaction 

with CAMEO; (ii) probe current user 

practices and preferences regarding 

several important sets of issues, 

including the effectiveness of selected 

Agency products and services, required 

reporting requirements, and new 

homeland security responsibilities; and 

(iii) identify emerging user needs. EPA 

will use the information collected 

through this survey to judge the success 

and efficacy of the Agency’s chemical 

emergency technical assistance efforts 

and improve program implementation. 

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 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average one-half hour (0.5 

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; 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:

Members of the CAMEO Web site 

listserv. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

200. 

Frequency of Response: One-time. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

100. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $7,000, 

includes $0 annual capital/startup or 

O&M costs, and $7,000 annual labor 

costs.

Adequacy Status of the Yakima PM10

Nonattainment Area Limited 

Maintenance Plan and Redesignation 

Request for Transportation Conformity 

Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is 

notifying the public that we have found 

the Yakima PM10 Nonattainment Area 

Limited Maintenance Plan and 

Redesignation Request adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes. On 

March 2, 1999, the D.C. Circuit Court 

ruled that submitted State 

Implementation Plans (SIPs) cannot be 

used for conformity determinations 

until EPA has found them adequate. As 

a result of this adequacy finding, the 

area automatically meets the budget test 

for future transportation conformity. 

This affects future transportation 

conformity determinations prepared, 

reviewed and approved by the Yakima 

Valley Council of Governments, 

Washington State Department of 

Transportation, Federal Highway 

Administration and the Federal Transit 

Administration.

DATES: This finding is effective 

November 29, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

finding is available at EPA’s conformity 

Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/

transp.htm, (once there, click on the 

‘‘Transportation Conformity’’ button, 

then look for ‘‘Adequacy Review of SIP 

Submissions’’). You may also contact

Office of Air, Waste, and Toxics (AWT–

107), 1200 Sixth Ave, Seattle WA 98101; 

(206) 553–1463 or 

elson.wayne@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Today’s notice is simply an 

announcement of a finding that we have 

already made. EPA Region 10 sent a 

letter to the Washington Department of 

Ecology, October 12, 2004, stating that 

the SIP is adequate for transportation 

conformity purposes. 

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. 

EPA’s conformity rule requires that 

transportation plans, programs, and 

projects conform to SIPs. Conformity to 

a SIP means that transportation 

activities will not produce new air 

quality violations, worsen existing 

violations, or delay timely attainment of 

the national ambient air quality 

standards. 

The criteria by which we determine 

whether a SIP is adequate for 

conformity purposes are outlined in 40 

CFR 93.118(e)(4). Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from EPA’s 

completeness review and it also should 

not be used to prejudge our ultimate 

approval of the SIP. Even if we find a 

SIP adequate for conformity, the SIP 

could later be disapproved. 

We have described our process for 

determining the adequacy in SIPs in 

guidance dated May 14, 1999. This 

guidance is now reflected in the 

amended transportation conformity 

rule, July 1, 2004 (69 FR 40004). We 

followed this process in making our 

adequacy determination.
