Number 2060–0015; EPA ICR Number

0877.07; expiration date, June 30, 2000.

This is a request for extension of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: The Environmental

Radiation Ambient Monitoring System

(ERAMS) consists of a national network

of sample collection stations for air,

milk, precipitation, and drinking water.

On prescribed schedules, all collected

samples are shipped to the National Air

and Radiation Environmental

Laboratory (NAREL) in Montgomery,

Alabama, which is an EPA facility

operating under EPA’s Office of

Radiation and Indoor Air. NAREL

analyzes all samples for levels of

radiation, and the resultant data are

then made available online at the EPA

website and in printed format. The data

are used to fulfill the Agency’s

commitment to public information, but

they are also used by scientists and

radiation professionals in a number of

ways, including comparison with data

developed by other agencies and

commercial groups, such as the nuclear

power industry. In the event of national

radiation emergency, especially when

EPA is the lead federal agency, ERAMS

data collections and analyses are

accelerated as necessary and the

resultant data are used to support

decisions for protecting the public

health and the environment. Frequently,

sample collectors are employed by state

health departments or environmental

agencies.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on

October 28, 1999; 1 set of comments

were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 0.37 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; 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: Typically State

& sometimes Local Government Sample

Collectors.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

249.

Frequency of Response: from twice

weekly to four times annually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

8,363 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital

and Operating & Maintenance Cost

Burden: $0.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

respondent burden, including through
