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: This Information Collection 

Request (ICR) seeks authorization for 

tribes to demonstrate their eligibility to 

be treated in the same manner as states 

under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and to 

submit applications to implement a 

CAA program. This ICR extends the 

collection period of information for 

determining eligibility, which expires 

August 31, 2014. The ICR maintains the 

estimates of burden costs for tribes in 

completing a CAA application. 

The program regulation provides for 

Indian tribes, if they so choose, to 

assume responsibility for the 

development and implementation of 

CAA programs. The regulation, Indian 

Tribes: Air Quality Planning and 

Management (Tribal Authority Rule 

[TAR] 40 CFR parts 9, 35, 49, 50 and 81) 

sets forth how tribes may seek authority 

to implement their own air quality 

planning and management programs. 

The rule establishes: (1) Which CAA 

provisions Indian tribes may seek 

authority to implement, (2) what 

requirements the tribes must meet when 

seeking such authorization, and (3) what 

Federal financial assistance may be 

available to help tribes establish and 

manage their air quality programs. The 

TAR provides tribes the authority to 

administer air quality programs over all 

air resources, including non-Indian 

owned fee lands, within the exterior 

boundaries of a reservation and other 

areas over which the tribe can 

demonstrate jurisdiction. An Indian 

tribe that takes responsibility for a CAA 

program would essentially be treated in 

the same way as a state would be treated 

for that program. 

Respondents/affected entities: States, 

locals, Indian tribes. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary, required to obtain or retain a 

benefit (Tribal Authority Rule [TAR] 40 

CFR parts 9, 35, 49, 50 and 81). 

Estimated number of respondents: 8. 

Frequency of response: One time 

applications. 

Total estimated burden: 320 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $18,896.00 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. 

Dated: March 20, 2014.

Tribal Program Coordinator, Office of Air and

Board (SAB) at a later date which will 

be announced in the Federal Register. 

When finalizing the draft ROE 2014, 

EPA intends to consider any public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/

Document 

EPA’s draft ROE 2014 is a 

comprehensive source of scientific 

indicators that describe the trends in the 

nation’s environmental and human 

health condition. The indicators help to 

answer important questions for EPA 

about the current status and historical 

trends in U.S. air, water, land, human 

health, ecological systems, and aspects 

of sustainability at the national and 

regional levels. These indicators are 

based on data collected by the EPA, 

other federal and state agencies, and 

non-governmental organizations and 

meet high standards for data quality, 

objectivity, and utility. The ROE reports 

status and trends; it does not analyze or 

diagnose the reasons for, and 

relationships between, trends in 

stressors and environmental and health 

outcomes. 

Since its earliest release in 2003, the 

ROE has undergone periodic updates 

and restructurings. The latest version 

features several significant changes, the 

most notable being that the draft ROE 

2014 is fully online, allowing it to be 

more interactive and accessible than 

ever. Users can customize graphics and 

pan and zoom on maps. For certain

indicators, users can now choose to 

view statistical information about the 

data by simply clicking display options. 

Additionally, new indicators fill 

information gaps which previously 

lacked reliable, long-term data. A new 

conceptual framework and 

sustainability theme have also been 

added.
