PM2.5 impact on other States and to 

require that Delaware and New Jersey 

report all of the emissions-related data 

required by CAIR. (Delaware and New 

Jersey are already affected by ozonerelated requirements in CAIR.) These 

emissions data reporting requirements 

include reporting requirements and 

combine these reporting requirements 

with existing requirements from the 

Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule 

(CERR), the Emission Reporting 

Requirements for Ozone State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) Revisions 

Relating to Statewide Budgets for NOX

Emissions to Reduce Regional Transport 

of Ozone (NOX SIP Call), the Acid Rain 

Program under Title IV of the CAA 

Amendments of 1990, and the Rule to 

Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine 

Particulate Matter and Ozone (Clean Air 

Interstate Rule, CAIR). Each of these 

four existing requirements has an 

approved ICR in place. The current ICRs 

are: for the CERR, EPA ICR 0916.12 

(OMB 2060–0088), for the NOX SIP Call, 

EPA ICR 1857.04 (OMB 2060–0445), for 

the Acid Rain Program, EPA ICR 

1633.14 (OMB 2060–0258), and for 

CAIR, EPA ICR 2152.03 (OMB 2060– 

0570). 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4 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: 

Electric utilities, Industrial sources, and 

State Governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

62. 

Frequency of Response: on occasion, 

quarterly, and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

2,334. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$235,925, which includes $20,300.00 in 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 208 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to 

adjustments to the estimates reflecting 

the current requirements of the program.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0916.13, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0088. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on October 31, 2009. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 144 / Wednesday, July 29, 2009 / Notices 37705 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 

and 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 promulgated a 

Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule 

(CERR) (40 CFR part 51, subpart A) to 

coordinate new emissions inventory 

reporting requirements with existing 

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

and the 1990 Amendments. Under the 

CERR, 55 state and territorial air quality 

agencies, including the District of 

Columbia (DC), as well as an estimated 

49 local air quality agencies, must 

annually submit emissions data for 

point sources emitting specified levels 

of volatile organic compounds, oxides of 

nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulfur 

dioxide, particulate matter less than or 

equal to 10 micrometers in diameter, 

particulate matter less than or equal to 

2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5), and 

ammonia (NH3). 

Every 3 years, states are required to 

submit a point source inventory, as well 

as a statewide stationary nonpoint, 

nonroad mobile, onroad mobile, and 

biogenic source inventory for all criteria 

pollutants (including lead and lead 

compounds) and their precursors. The 

emissions data submitted for the annual 

and 3-year cycle inventories for 

stationary point, nonpoint, nonroad 

mobile, and onroad mobile sources are 

used by EPA’s Office of Air Quality 

Planning and Standards to assist in 

developing ambient air quality emission 

standards, performing regional 

modeling, and preparing national trends 

assessments and special analyses and 

reports. Any data submitted to EPA 

under the CERR is in the public domain 

and cannot be treated as confidential. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 31 hours per 

response. The total number of 

respondents is assumed to be 1,863. 

This total number of respondents 

includes 104 State agencies that are 

subject to the CERR data reporting 

requirements and 1,759 sources that are 

not subject, but are assumed to incur the 

burden for reporting estimates of PM2.5

and NH3 to State agencies. 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: 55 

State and territorial air pollution control 

agencies, 49 local air agencies, and 

1,759 industry sources. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,863. 

Frequency of Response: Annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

57,698. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$230,880, includes $230,880 annualized 

capital or operational and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 474 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to use of 

updated point source reporting data 

from the 2005 National Emissions 

Inventory indicating fewer Type A 

sources will be reported annually to 

EPA.

Under section 108(a) of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA), the Administrator identifies 

and lists certain pollutants which 

‘‘cause or contribute to air pollution 

which may reasonably be anticipated to 

endanger public health or welfare.’’ The 

EPA then issues air quality criteria for 

listed pollutants, which are commonly 

referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants.’’ The 

air quality criteria are to ‘‘accurately 

reflect the latest scientific knowledge 

useful in indicating the kind and extent 

of all identifiable effects on public 

health or welfare which may be 

expected from the presence of [a] 

pollutant in the ambient air, in varying 

quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the 

CAA, EPA establishes national ambient 

air quality standards (NAAQS) for each 

listed pollutant, with the NAAQS based 

on the air quality criteria. Section 109(d) 

of the CAA requires periodic review 

and, if appropriate, revision of existing 

air quality criteria. The revised air 

quality criteria reflect advances in 

scientific knowledge on the effects of 

the pollutant on public health or 

welfare. The EPA is also required to
