information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and

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

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

Abstract: EPA promulgated Federal 

Implementation Plans (FIPs) under the 

Clean Air Act for Indian reservations 

located in Idaho, Oregon, and 

Washington in 40 CFR part 49 (70 FR 

18074, April 8, 2005). The FIPs in the 

final rule, also referred to as the Federal 

Air Rules for Indian Reservations in 

Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (FARR), 

include information collection 

requirements associated with the partial 

delegation of administrative authority to 

a Tribe in 40 CFR 49.122; the rule for 

limiting visible emissions at 40 CFR 

49.124; fugitive particulate matter rule 

in 40 CFR 49.126; the wood waste 

burner rule in 40 CFR 49.127; the rule 

for limiting sulfur in fuels in 40 CFR 

49.130; the rule for open burning in 40 

CFR 49.131; the rules for general open 

burning permits, agricultural burning 

permits, and forestry and silvicultural 

burning permits in 40 CFR 49.132, 

49.133, and 49.134; the rule for 

emissions detrimental to human health 

and welfare in 40 CFR 49.135; the 

registration rule in 40 CFR 49.138; and 

the rule for non-title V operating 

permits in 40 CFR 49.139. EPA uses this 

information to manage the activities and 

sources of air pollution on the Indian 

reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and 

Washington. EPA believes these 

information collection requirements are 

appropriate because they will enable 

EPA to develop and maintain accurate 

records of air pollution sources and 

their emissions, track emissions trends 

and changes, identify potential air 

quality problems, allow EPA to issue 

permits or approvals, and ensure 

appropriate records are available to 

verify compliance with these FIPs. The 

information collection requirements 

listed above are all mandatory. 

Regulated entities can assert claims of 

business confidentiality and EPA will 

address these claims in accordance with 

the provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart 

B.

Indian reservations. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Respondents obligation to respond is 

mandatory. See 40 CFR 49.122, 49.124,

49.139. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,732 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annual or 

occasional. 

Total estimated burden: 3,601 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $286,888 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 614 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is based on input 

from source consultations, supersedence 

of the provisions of one rule (49.139), 

and information we have learned about 

the source universe through 

implementing the rules since the ICR 

was updated in 2018.

Abstract: To determine compliance 

with the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS), State air 

monitoring agencies are required to use, 

in their air quality monitoring networks, 

air monitoring methods that have been 

formally designated by the EPA as either 

reference or equivalent methods under 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 53. A 

manufacturer or seller of an air 

monitoring method (e.g., an air 

monitoring sampler or analyzer) that 

seeks to obtain such EPA designation of 

one of its products must carry out 

prescribed tests of the method. The test 

results and other information must then 

be submitted to the EPA in the form of 

an application for a reference or 

equivalent method determination in 

accordance with 40 CFR part 53. The 

EPA uses this information, under the 

provisions of 40 CFR part 53, to 

determine whether the particular 

method should be designated as either 

a reference or equivalent method. After 

a method is designated, the applicant 

must also maintain records of the names 

and mailing addresses of all ultimate 

purchasers of all analyzers or samplers 

sold as designated methods under the 

method designation. If the method 

designated is a method for fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse 

particulate matter (PM10–2.5), the 

applicant must also submit a checklist 

signed by an ISO-certified auditor to 

indicate that the samplers or analyzers 

sold as part of the designated method 

are manufactured in an ISO 9001- 

registered facility. Also, an applicant 

must submit a minor application to seek 

approval for any proposed 

modifications to previously designated 

methods. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

manufacturers, states. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain the benefit of EPA 

designation under 40 CFR part 53. 

Submission of some information that is 

claimed by the applicant to be 

confidential business information may 

be necessary to make a reference or 

equivalent method determination. The 

confidentiality of any submitted 

information identified as confidential 

business information by the applicant 

will be protected in full accordance 

with 40 CFR 53.15 and all applicable 

provisions of 40 CFR part 2. 

Estimated number of respondents: 22 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 7,492 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $746,029 (per 

year), includes $152,152 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change in hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB.
