SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

1. 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. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. 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 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. 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. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns. 

6. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

7. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

8. 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. 

III. What information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are 

establishments or organizations engaged 

in formulating, producing, purchasing, 

or distributing surfactants or products 

containing surfactants. 

Title: Safer Detergent Stewardship 

Initiative (SDSI) Program. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2261.02, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0171. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on March 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 Code 

of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The SDSI is a voluntary 

program administered by the EPA to 

offer resources and recognition to 

businesses involved in the transition to 

safer surfactants. Surfactants are a major 

ingredient in cleaning products such as 

detergents, cleaners, airplane deicers, 

and fire-fighting foams. Safer surfactants 

are those that break down quickly to 

non-polluting compounds. 

Under SDSI, businesses that have 

fully transitioned to safer surfactants, or 

(for non-profits, academic institutions, 

etc.) can document outstanding efforts 

to encourage the use of safer surfactants, 

are granted Champion status. At this 

level, the participant is invited to the 

SDSI awards ceremony, listed on the 

EPA SDSI Web site as a champion, and 

may use a special logo in their literature 

to help explain their participation in the 

program. Businesses that commit to a 

full and timely transition to safer 

surfactants, or (for non-profits, academic 

institutions, etc.) can document 

outstanding efforts to encourage the use 

of safer surfactants, are granted Partner 

status. This category provides 

recognition of significant 

accomplishments towards the use of 

safer surfactants. Partners will be listed 

on the EPA SDSI Web site and may be 

granted recognition as a Champion in 

the future if appropriate. This 

information collection addresses 

reporting activities that support the 

administration of the SDSI program. 

Responses to this collection of 

information are voluntary. Respondents 

may claim all or part of a response 

confidential. EPA will disclose 

information that is covered by a claim 

of confidentiality only to the extent 

permitted by, and in accordance with, 

the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 

40 CFR part 2. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average about 10 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 this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 42 over 3 years/14 

annually. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.0. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

140 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $7,770. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $7,770 and an estimated cost of $0 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 224 / Monday, November 22, 2010 / Notices 71125 

IV. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 3,610 hours 

(from 3,750 hours to 140 hours) in the 

total estimated annual respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the information collection most recently 

approved by OMB. This decrease 

reflects improved estimates of the 

number of applications EPA expects to 

receive, based on actual experience in 

administering the SDSI program. The 

decrease is an adjustment. 

V. 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. 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 FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve a lawsuit seeking to compel the 

Agency to take timely final action under 

section 110(k) of the CAA to approve, 

disapprove, or partially approve/ 

disapprove the submission entitled the 

2008 PM2.5 San Joaquin Valley Unified 

Air Pollution Control District Plan (the 

SJV PM2.5 nonattainment SIP), which 

was submitted to EPA on or about June 

30, 2008. The SJV PM2.5 nonattainment 

SIP includes measures intended to 

control emissions of fine particulate 

matter and its precursors from sources 

located within the designated 

nonattainment area in the San Joaquin 

Valley of California, for purposes of 

attaining the 1997 annual and 24-hour 

PM2.5 NAAQS. The proposed consent 

decree requires that no later than 

September 30, 2011, EPA shall sign a 

notice taking the Agency’s final action 

on the SJV PM2.5 nonattainment SIP, 

pursuant to section 110(k) of the CAA, 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k). In addition, the 

proposed consent decree requires that 

no later than 15 business days following 

signature, EPA shall send the notice to 

the Office of the Federal Register for 

review and publication in the Federal 

Register. After EPA fulfills its 

obligations under the proposed consent 

decree, it provides that the parties shall 

file a joint request to the Court to 

dismiss this matter with prejudice. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree from persons who were 

not named as parties or intervenors to 

the litigation in question. EPA or the 

Department of Justice may withdraw or 

withhold consent to the proposed 

consent decree if the comments disclose 

facts or considerations that indicate that 

such consent is inappropriate, 

improper, inadequate, or inconsistent 

with the requirements of the Act. Unless 

EPA or the Department of Justice 

determines that consent to this consent 

decree should be withdrawn, the terms 

of the proposed consent decree will be 

affirmed.
