What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are community 

water systems serving more than 3,300 

persons. 

Title: Title IV of the Public Health 

Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness 

and Response Act of 2002: Drinking 

Water Security and Safety (Act). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2103.04; 

OMB Control No. 2040–0253. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on February 28, 

2011. 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 title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, 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: Section 1433 of the Safe 

Drinking Water Act, as amended by the 

Bioterrorism Act, requires each 

community water system serving a 

population of more than 3,300 people to 

conduct a vulnerability assessment of its 

water system and to prepare or revise an 

emergency response plan that 

incorporates the results of the 

vulnerability assessment. These 

requirements are mandatory under the 

statute. EPA will continue to use the 

information collected under this ICR to 

determine whether community water 

systems have conducted vulnerability 

assessments and prepared or revised 

emergency response plans in 

compliance with Section 1433. EPA is 

required to protect all vulnerability 

assessments and all information derived 

from them from disclosure to 

unauthorized parties and has 

established an Information Protection 

Protocol describing how that will be 

accomplished. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 237 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 80. 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

8,994. 

Estimated total annual costs: $77,252. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $1,035/respondent and an estimated 

cost of $16,849 for capital and 

maintenance/operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is no decrease in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This reflects EPA’s 

continued need to collect documents 

that were included in the original 

estimate, but still have not been 

submitted to the Agency. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

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

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are owners of 

light-duty vehicles. 

Title: EPA’s Light Duty In-Use Vehicle 

Testing Program (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0222.09, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0086. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on February 28, 

2011. 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 title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, 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: EPA has an ongoing 

program to evaluate the emission 

performance of in-use light-duty 

(passenger car and light truck) motor 

vehicles. This program operates in 

conjunction with testing of prototype 

vehicles prior to use (manufacturer and 

EPA confirmatory testing for 

certification) and the mandatory 

manufacturer’s in-use testing program 

(IUVP) for light-duty vehicles. They 

derive from the Clean Air Act’s charge 

that EPA insure that motor vehicles 

comply with emissions requirements 

throughout their useful lives. The 

primary purpose of the program is 

information gathering. Nevertheless, 

EPA can require a recall if it receives 

information, from whatever source, 

including in-use testing, that a 

‘‘substantial number’’ of any class or 

category of vehicles or engines, although 

properly maintained and used, do not 

conform to the emission standards, 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
52328 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 164 / Wednesday, August 25, 2010 / Notices 

when in actual use throughout their 

useful life. 

The program can be broken down into 

three closely-related headings. The first 

is a surveillance program that selects 

approximately 50 classes of passenger 

cars and light trucks for in-use testing, 

at EPA’s testing facility, totaling 

approximately 150 vehicles (three in 

each class on average). In rare cases 

surveillance testing may be followed by 

compliance testing (only three such 

classes in the last five years).The 

purpose of a compliance phase is to 

develop additional information related 

to test failures observed in a class 

during surveillance testing. The second 

heading is testing of a subset of 

approximately 35 vehicles from the 

surveillance recruitment for operation of 

on-board diagnostics (OBD) systems. 

The third category is special 

investigations involving testing of 

vehicles to address specific issues. The 

number of vehicles procured under this 

category varies widely from year to year, 

but this request asks for approval of the 

information burden corresponding to 25 

such vehicles per year for the next three 

years. 

Participation in the light-duty 

surveys, as well as the vehicle testing, 

is strictly voluntary. A group of 25 to 50 

potential participants is identified from 

State vehicle registration records. They 

are asked to return a postcard indicating 

their willingness to participate and if so, 

to verify some limited vehicle 

information. Three of those who return 

the card are called and asked about a 

half dozen questions concerning vehicle 

condition, and operation and 

maintenance. Additional groups of 

potential participants may be contacted 

until a sufficient number of vehicles has 

been obtained. Owners verify the survey 

information when they deliver their 

vehicles to EPA, voluntarily provide 

maintenance records for copying, and 

receive a loaner car and/or a cash 

incentive. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 7.3 minutes 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. 

The ICR Supporting Statement 

provides a detailed explanation of the 

Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly 

summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: Approximately 4,285 

owners/lessees receive EPA’s 

solicitations to participate and 

approximately 164 do participate. 

Frequency of response: On Occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

521. 

Estimated total annual costs: $11,295. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $11,295 and an estimated cost of $0 

for capital investment or maintenance 

and operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 90 responses 

and 98 hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with that 

identified in the ICR currently approved 

by OMB. This decrease is entirely due 

to removal of the heavy-duty and nonroad portions of this ICR, which will 

henceforth be covered under a different 

information collection request. This ICR 

was previously titled, ‘‘EPA’s In-Use 

Vehicle and Engine Testing Programs.’’ 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

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

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the
