Abstract: This ICR is for activities 

related to the implementation of the 

EPA’s regional haze rule, for the time 

period between March 31, 2016, and 

March 31, 2019, and renews the 

previous ICR. The regional haze rule 

codified at 40 CFR parts 308 and 309, 

as authorized by sections 169A and 

169B of the Clean Air Act, requires 

states to develop implementation plans 

to protect visibility in 156 federallyprotected Class I areas. Tribes may 

choose to develop implementation 

plans. For this time period, states will 

primarily be developing and submitting 

periodic comprehensive 

implementation plan revisions (or 

initial implementation plans) and 

progress reports to comply with the 

regulations. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

state, local and tribal air quality 

agencies, regional planning 

organizations and facilities potentially 

regulated under the regional haze rule. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory [see 40 CFR 51.308(b), (f) 

and (g) and 40 CFR 51.309(d)(10)]. 

Estimated number of respondents: 52 

(total); 52 state agencies. 

Frequency of response: 

Approximately every 5 years. 

Total estimated burden: 10,307 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $510,489 (per 

year). There are no annualized capital or 

operation and maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 4,259 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to this ICR 

renewal period covering different task 

elements than the previous renewal 

(EPA ICR No. 1813.08). These 

differences reflect the requirements of 

the current regional haze rule with 

respect to the scheduled events and 

activities in the implementation 

process. The last collection request 

anticipated the program consisting 

mainly of submission of 5-year progress 

reports. The change in burden reflects 

changes in labor rates and changes in 

the activities conducted due to the 

normal progression of the program, 

especially the fact that states will be 

working on and submitting periodic 

comprehensive State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) revisions (or initial SIPs).

Acting Director, Collection Strategies 

Division.

II. Background 

Cyanobacteria are naturally occurring 

organisms similar to algae. These 

organisms can occur in fresh water and 

may rapidly multiply causing ‘‘blooms’’ 

under favorable conditions. Conditions 

that enhance bloom formation and 

persistence include light intensity and 

duration, nutrient availability (such as 

nitrogen and phosphorus), water 

temperature, pH and water column 

stability. Some blooms produce 

cyanotoxins such as microcystin, 

cylindrospermopsin and anatoxin-a, 

which can be a health concern. For 

additional background information on 

cyanotoxins in drinking water, please go 

to: http://www2.epa.gov/sites/

production/files/2014-08/documents/

cyanobacteria_factsheet.pdf. 

The EPA released health advisories in 

June 2015 for two cyanotoxins: 

Microcystin and cylindrospermopsin. In 

June 2015, the EPA also released 

recommendations for public water 

systems on managing risks from 

cyanotoxins in drinking water. For 

additional background information on 

the health advisories and 

recommendations, please go to: http://

www.epa.gov/nutrient-policy-data/

guidelines-and-recommendations. The 

EPA’s goal for this meeting is to obtain 

information on state, utility and public 

experiences in managing risks from 

cyanotoxins in drinking water. The EPA 

is seeking to get input on lessons 

learned after the release of the June 2015 

recommendations document, 

Recommendations for Public Water 

Systems to Manage Cyanotoxins in 

Drinking Water. The EPA plans to use 

this information to develop additional 

tools or make modifications to the 

current recommendations document.
