Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; CrossMedia Electronic Reporting Rule 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Cross-Media Electronic Reporting 

Rule’’ (EPA ICR No. 2002.06, OMB 

Control No. 2025–0003) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is 

soliciting public comments on specific 

aspects of the proposed information 

collection as described below. This is a 

proposed extension of the ICR, which is 

currently approved through April 30, 

2015. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before January 5, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OEI–2011–0096, online using

dockets. 

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 scope of this ICR is the 

electronic reporting components of 

CROMERR, which is designed to: (i) 

Allow EPA to comply with the 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

of 1998; (ii) provide a uniform, 

technology-neutral framework for 

electronic reporting across all EPA 

programs; (iii) allow EPA programs to 

offer electronic reporting as they 

become ready for CROMERR; and (iv) 

provide states with a streamlined 

process—together with a uniform set of 

standards—for approval of their 

electronic reporting provisions for all 

their EPA-authorized programs. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are voluntary. In order to 

accommodate CBI, the information 

collected must be in accordance with 

the confidentiality regulations set forth 

in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. 

Additionally, EPA will ensure that the 

information collection procedures 

comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 

and the OMB Circular 108. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

that report electronically to EPA and 


rmajette on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
65392 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 213 / Tuesday, November 4, 2014 / Notices 

state or local government authorized 

programs; and state and local 

government authorized programs 

implementing electronic reporting. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary, required to obtain or retain a 

benefit (Cross-Media Electronic 

Reporting Rule (CROMER) established 

to ensure compliance with the 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

(GPEA)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

102,387 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 38,491 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,086,380 (per 

year), including $1,438,861 in 

annualized labor costs and $647,519 in 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 1,272 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease occurred primarily 

because there was a decrease in the total 

annual number of employees complying 

with CROMERR’s identity proofing 

requirements. In estimating the annual 

number of employees complying with 

the CROMERR’s identity proofing 

requirements for this ICR, EPA was able 

to take advantage of improvements in 

data software and hardware capabilities 

and thus, develop estimates based on 

actual data instead of the complex 

calculations used in the currently 

approved ICR. In particular, EPA was 

able to obtain actual numbers and 

growth rates for the annual number of 

subscriber agreements submitted to CDX 

over the past several years. These data 

were used to improve the estimate for 

the annual number of subscriber 

agreements submitted by direct 

reporters. EPA believes that the 

respondent estimates included in this 

ICR are a reasonable approximation of 

the actual respondent universe.

Equivalent Methods: Designation of 

Two New Reference Methods and Two 

New Equivalent Methods 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of designation of two 

reference methods and two equivalent 

methods for monitoring ambient air 

quality. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) has designated, in accordance 

with 40 CFR Part 53, two new reference 

methods and two new equivalent 

methods. The reference methods 

include one for measuring PM2.5, and 

one for measuring PM10–2.5 in the 

ambient air. The two equivalent 

methods are one for measuring carbon 

monoxide (CO) and one for measuring 

ozone (O3) in the ambient air.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with regulations at 40 CFR 

part 53, the EPA evaluates various 

methods for monitoring the 

concentrations of those ambient air 

pollutants for which EPA has 

established National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQSs), as set 

forth in 40 CFR part 50. Monitoring 

methods that are determined to meet 

specific requirements for adequacy are 

designated by the EPA as either 

reference methods or equivalent 

methods (as applicable), thereby 

permitting their use under 40 CFR part 

58 by States and other agencies for 

determining compliance with the 

NAAQSs. 

The EPA hereby announces the 

designation of one new reference 

method for measuring PM2.5, one new 

reference method for measuring 

PM10–2.5, one new equivalent method for 

measuring concentrations of carbon 

monoxide (CO), and one equivalent 

method for measuring ozone (O3) in the 

ambient air. These designations are 

made under the provisions of 40 CFR 

part 53, as amended on August 31, 2011 

(76 FR 54326–54341). 

The new reference method for PM2.5

is a manual monitoring method based 

on a particular PM2.5 sampler and is 

identified as follows: 

RFPS–1014–219, ‘‘Tisch 

Environmental Model TE-Wilbur2.5 

PM2.5 Low-Volume Air Particulate 

Sampler,’’ configured as a PM2.5

reference method, with firmware 

version 1.70 or later and a TE–PM10–D 

PM10 size-selective inlet as specified in 

40 CFR 50 Appendix L Figs. L–2 thru 

L–19, with either a BGI VSCCTM Very 

Sharp Cut Cyclone particle size 

separator or WINS impactor, and 

operated for 24 sample periods at a flow 

rate of 16.67 L/min, using 47 mm PTFE 

membrane filter media, and in 

accordance with the Tisch 

Environmental Model TE-Wilbur2.5 

PM2.5 Low-Volume Air Particulate 

Sampler instruction manual and with 

the requirements and sample collection 

filters as specified in 40 CFR part 50, 

Appendix L. 

The new PM10–2.5 reference method 

utilizes a pair of filter samplers than 

have been designated individually as 

reference methods, one for PM2.5 and 

the other one for PM10, and have been 

shown to meet the requirements 

specified in Appendix O of 40 CFR part 

50. The PM2.5 and PM10 samplers are 

designated as reference methods RFPS– 

1014–219 and RFPS–0714–216, 

respectively. The newly designated 

PM10–2.5 sampler is identified as follows: 

RFPS–1014–220, ‘‘Tisch 

Environmental Model TE-Wilbur LowVolume Air Particulate Sampler Pair’’ 

for the determination of coarse 

particulate matter as PM10–2.5, consisting 

of a pair of Tisch Environmental Model 

TE-Wilbur samplers, with one being the 

TE-Wilbur 2.5 PM2.5 sampler (RFPS– 

1014–219) and the other being a TEWilbur 10 PM10 sampler (RFPS–0714– 

216), and operated in accordance with 

the associated TE-Wilbur instruction 

manual. This designation applies to 

PM10–2.5 measurements only. 

The application for reference method 

determination for the PM2.5 method was 

received by the Office of Research and 

Development on September 29, 2014 

and the PM10–2.5 method application 

was received on October 8, 2014. These 

monitors are commercially available 

from the applicant, Tisch 

Environmental, Inc., 145 S. Miami 

Avenue, Village of Cleves, OH 45002. 

The newly designated equivalent 

method for CO is a mercury 

replacement-UV photometric method 

and is identified as follows: 

EQCA–0814–217, ‘‘Peak Laboratories, 

Model 910–170 Carbon Monoxide 

Analyzer’’, (Mercury replacement—UV 

photometric method) operated on any
