comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the docket, and to access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 123 / Monday, June 28, 2010 / Notices 36653 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are facilities or 

vessels that manufacture, process, 

transport, or otherwise use certain 

specified hazardous substances and oil. 

Title: Notification of Episodic 

Releases of Oil and Hazardous 

Substances (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1049.12, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0046. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2011. 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: Section 103(a) of CERCLA, 

as amended, requires the person in 

charge of a facility or vessel to 

immediately notify the National 

Response Center (NRC) of a hazardous 

substance release into the environment 

if the amount of the release equals or 

exceeds the substance’s reportable 

quantity (RQ) limit. The RQ of every 

hazardous substance can be found in 

Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4. 

Section 311 of the CWA, as amended, 

requires the person in charge of a vessel 

to immediately notify the NRC of an oil 

spill into U.S. navigable waters if the 

spill causes a sheen, violates applicable 

water quality standards, or causes a 

sludge or emulsion to be deposited 

beneath the surface of the water or upon 

adjoining shorelines. 

The reporting of a hazardous 

substance release that is at or above the 

substance’s RQ allows the Federal 

government to determine whether a 

Federal response action is required to 

control or mitigate any potential adverse 

effects to public health or welfare or the 

environment. Likewise, the reporting of 

oil spills allows the Federal government 

to determine whether cleaning up the 

oil spill is necessary to mitigate or 

prevent damage to public health or 

welfare or the environment. The 

hazardous substance and oil release 

information collected under CERCLA 

section 103(a) and CWA section 311 

also is available to EPA program offices 

and other Federal agencies that use the 

information to evaluate the potential 

need for additional regulations, new 

permitting requirements for specific 

substances or sources, or improved 

emergency response planning. Release 

notification information, which is stored 

in the national Emergency Response 

Notification System (ERNS) data base, is 

available to State and local government 

authorities as well as the general public. 

State and local government authorities 

and the regulated community use 

release information for purposes of local 

emergency response planning. Members 

of the general public, who have access 

to release information through the 

Freedom of Information Act, may 

request release information for purposes 

of maintaining an awareness of what 

types of releases are occurring in 

different localities and what actions, if 

any are being taken to protect public 

health and welfare and the 

environment. ERNS fact sheets, which 

provide summary and statistical 

information about hazardous substance 

and oil release notifications, also are 

available to the public. 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. 

The EPA would like to solicit 

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, other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4.1 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: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 24,041. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

98,568. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$3,121,796. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $3,121,796 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 7,462 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects EPA’s expected 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
36654 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 123 / Monday, June 28, 2010 / Notices 

decrease in the projected number of 

release notifications per year. 

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

Final Notice of Data Availability 

Concerning 2010 CAIR NOX Ozone 

Season Trading Program New Unit SetAside Allowance Allocations Under the 

Clean Air Interstate Rule Federal 

Implementation Plan 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of data availability 

(NODA). 

SUMMARY: EPA is administering—under 

the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) 

Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs)— 

the CAIR NOX Ozone Season Trading 

Program (CAIROS) new unit set-aside 

allowance pools for Delaware and the 

District of Columbia. The CAIROS FIPs 

require the Administrator to determine 

each year by order the allowance 

allocations from the new unit set-aside 

for units in these jurisdictions whose 

owners and operators requested these 

allocations and to provide the public 

with the opportunity to object to the 

allocation determinations. On April 27, 

2010, EPA issued a NODA setting forth 

such determinations in the Federal 

Register and provided an opportunity 

for submission of objections. Through 

the NODA issued today, EPA is making 

available to the public the Agency’s 

determinations, after considering all 

objections, of CAIROS allowance 

allocations and denials of such 

allocations under the FIPs, as well as 

the data upon which the allocations and 

denials of allocations were based. 

DATES: Under § 97.353(e), EPA must 

record, by September 1, 2010, the 

CAIROS new unit set-aside allowance 

allocations, consistent with this NODA, 

in the compliance accounts of units 

whose owners and operators 

successfully applied for a CAIROS new 

unit set-aside allowance allocation 

under the CAIR FIPs. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions concerning this action should 

be addressed to Robert L. Miller, U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

CAMD (6204J), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,

miller.robertl@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

For more background and information 

regarding the purpose of the NODA, 

requirements for requesting and 

receiving CAIROS new unit set-aside 

allowances under the CAIR FIPs, 

procedures for allocating such 

allowances, the application by EPA of 

requirements to individual CAIROS new 

unit set-aside allocation requests, and 

the interpretation the data upon which 

the CAIROS new unit set-aside 

allocations and denial of allocations 

were based, see the April 27, 2010 

NODA (75 FR 22172, April 27, 2010). 

EPA received no objections to the 

determinations and data in the April 27, 

2010 NODA. Therefore, EPA adopts the 

CAIROS new unit set-aside allocations 

set forth in the April 27, 2010 NODA. 

EPA is not requesting objections to 

the data provided in this final NODA. 

This action constitutes a final action for 

determining the CAIROS new unit setaside allowance allocations under 

§ 97.342 and the CAIR FIPs.
