Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 24, 2010 / Notices 8333 

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: In the course of 

administering environmental protection 

statutes, EPA collects data from 

thousands of facilities in many sectors 

of the U.S. economy. In many cases, 

industry marks the data it submits to 

EPA as CBI. In addition, businesses 

submit information to EPA without the 

Agency requesting the information. EPA 

established the procedures described in 

40 CFR part 2, subparts A and B, to 

protect the confidentiality of 

information as well as the rights of the 

public to obtain access to information 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA). In accordance with these 

regulations, when EPA finds it 

necessary to make a final confidentiality 

determination (e.g., in response to a 

FOIA request or in the course of 

rulemaking or litigation), or in advance 

confidentiality determination, it shall 

notify the affected business and 

provides an opportunity to comment 

(i.e., to submit a substantiation of 

confidentiality claim). This ICR relates 

to the collection of information that will 

assist EPA in determining whether 

previously submitted information is 

entitled to confidential treatment. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4.0 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Businesses and other for-profit 

companies. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,330. 

Frequency of Response: One annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

2002 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$91,071.85, includes $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs and $91,071.85 

annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

reduction of 4,519 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens.

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply To? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are all facilities 

required to have an operating permit 

under title V of the Clean Air Act. See 

section 502(a) of the Clean Air Act (the 

Act), which defines the sources required 

to obtain a title V permit. See also 40 

CFR 70.2 and 71.2. 

Title: Compliance Assurance 

Monitoring Program (40 CFR Part 64). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1663.07, 

OMB Control No.: 2060–0376. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2010. 

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: The Act contains several 

provisions directing us to require source 

owners to conduct monitoring to 

support certification as to their status of 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. These provisions are set 

forth in Section 504 and Section 114 of 

the Act. Under section 504(c), each 

operating permit must ‘‘set forth 

inspection, entry, monitoring, 

compliance, certification, and reporting 

requirements to assure compliance with 

the permit terms and conditions.’’ See 

also section 504(a) (each permit shall 

require reporting of monitoring and 

such other conditions as are necessary 

to assure compliance). Section 504(b) 

allows us to prescribe by rule, methods 

and procedures for determining 

compliance recognizing that continuous 

emissions monitoring systems need not 

be required if other procedures or 

methods provide sufficiently reliable 

and timely information for determining 

compliance. Section 114(a)(3) requires 

us to promulgate rules for enhanced 

monitoring and compliance 

certifications for major stationary 

sources, and provides authority for such 

rules for other sources. Section 114(a)(1) 

of the Act provides additional authority 

concerning monitoring, reporting, and 

record keeping requirements. This 

section provides the Administrator with 

the authority to require any owner or 

operator of a source to install and 

operate monitoring systems and to 

record the resulting monitoring data. We 

promulgated the Compliance Assurance 

Monitoring (CAM) rule, 40 CFR part 64, 

on October 22, 1997 (62 FR 54900) 

pursuant to these provisions. 

In accordance with section 114(c) and 

section 503(e), the monitoring 

information source owners must submit 

must also be available to the public, 

except under circumstances set forth in 

section 114(c) of the Act. 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. 

We are soliciting comments 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 24, 2010 / Notices 8335 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 304 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. 

Based on the Agency’s knowledge of the 

number of title V permits issued since 

1997 and the implementation of part 64 

through permit renewals, the expected 

impact of the CAM program for the 3 

years from October 1, 2010 until 

September 30, 2013 is about 7.4 million 

hours annually. The CAM rule will 

incur an average annual cost of about 

$263.8 million in 2008 dollars. There 

are no annualized capital and operation 

and maintenance (O&M) costs. EPA 

assumes that any such equipment 

needed by sources to comply with part 

64 would be purchased as part of a 

monitoring equipment purchase. 

Therefore, O&M costs for operating such 

capital equipment is not separately 

estimated. 

The CAM program burden for source 

owners or operators means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

monitoring 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. The CAM 

program potentially affects about 24,000 

pollutant-specific emissions units 

nationwide. The annual burden for 

source owners or operators is about 7.4 

million hours for these pollutantspecific emissions units. 

During the review period, permitting 

authorities will review CAM rule 

submittals from source owners or 

operators whose permits have already 

been issued and are renewing those 

permits as the 5-year permit terms 

expire. Permitting authorities will also 

be interacting with the source owners or 

operators in addressing the CAM in 

semi-annual monitoring reports and 

reporting CAM data as necessary. We 

estimate the annual CAM burden to 

permitting authorities to total about 

65,000 hours and about $3.5 million. 

Burden means the sum of the time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 24,000 pollutant specific 

emissions units. 

Frequency of response: Semi-annual 

and annual reports, plus every 5 years 

at permit renewal. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

7.4 million hours. 

Estimated average annual costs: 

$263.8 million. This includes annual 

labor costs for sources and permitting 

authorities and no capital or O&M costs. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

There is an increase of 4.3 million 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

annual burden compared with that 

identified in the ICR currently approved 

by OMB. This increase reflects the 

significant increase in number of 

respondents resulting from the 

implementation of the rule through 

operating permit renewals. 

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 FOR
