submissions covered by such a claim 

will be treated in accordance with 

procedures at 40 CFR part 2 and 

established Agency procedures. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average less than one hour 

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. 

A document entitled ‘‘Proposed 

Supporting Statement—Part A: 

Recordkeepking and Reporting Related 

to Fuel Quality Regulations for Diesel 

Fuel Sold in 2001 & Later Years; for 

Tax-Exempt (Dyed) Highway Diesel 

Fuel; and Non-Road Locomotive & 

Marine Diesel Fuel: Renewal’’ has been 

placed in Docket No. EPA–HQ–OAR– 

2007–1121. This draft document 

provides a more detailed explanation of 

the Agency’s estimate, which is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 6,806. 

Frequency of response: Annual, 

quarterly and/or on occasion. 

Estimated total number of responses: 

265,406. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 39. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

18,950. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$2,044,300. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is a decrease in the total 

estimated respondent burden and cost 

compared to the currently approved 

ICR. Most of the decrease is because 

motor vehicle diesel reporting 

requirements are no longer applicable 

and because virtually all laboratory 

qualifications for test methods have 

already been submitted to, and acted 

upon by, EPA. 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB 

was established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365 to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to 

FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 

given that an ad hoc SAB Panel will 

hold a public teleconference to discuss 

its draft advisory report on the Great 

Lakes Restoration Initiative Action Plan. 

The SAB will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Background: EPA is leading an 

interagency Great Lakes Restoration 

Initiative (GLRI) to protect and restore 

the chemical, biological, and physical 

integrity of the Great Lakes. The GLRI 

Action Plan is designed to target the 

most significant environmental 

problems in the region, as documented 

in extensive scientific studies, 

conferences and workshops. To guide 

the efforts of the GLRI, EPA and its 

Federal partners, through the Great 

Lakes Interagency Task Force, 

developed a comprehensive multi-year 

Action Plan. The GLRI Action Plan 

identifies outcome-oriented 

performance goals, objectives, 

measurable ecological targets, and 

specific actions for five major focus 

areas: toxic substances and areas of 

concern; invasive species; near-shore 

health and nonpoint source pollution; 

habitat and wildlife protection and 

restoration; and accountability, 

education, monitoring, evaluation, 

communication, and partnerships. EPA 

is seeking SAB review and comment 

regarding the Great Lakes Restoration 

Initiative’s Action Plan. Additional 

information describing the scientific 

background and basis for the Action 

Plan can be found at http://

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 160 / Thursday, August 18, 2011 / Notices 51365 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to EPA. Members of 

the public can submit comments for a 

Federal advisory committee to consider 

as it develops advice for EPA. Input 

from the public to the SAB will have the 

most impact if it consists of comments 

that provide specific scientific or 

technical information or analysis for 

SAB panels to consider or if it relates to 

the clarity or accuracy of the technical 

information included. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should contact the Designated Federal 

Officer for the relevant advisory 

committee directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at this public 

teleconference will be limited to three 

minutes per speaker. Interested parties 

should contact Mr. Thomas Carpenter, 

DFO, in writing (preferably via e-mail), 

at the contact information noted above, 

by September 12, 2011 to be placed on 

the list of public speakers for the 

meeting. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be received in the 

SAB Staff Office by September 12, 2011 

so that the information may be made 

available to the SAB Oil Spill Research 

Review Panel for their consideration. 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the DFO in the following formats: one 

hard copy with original signature and 

one electronic copy via e-mail 

(acceptable file format: Adobe Acrobat 

PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). 

Submitters are requested to provide two 

versions of each document submitted: 

One each with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. It is the SAB Staff Office 

general policy to post written comments 

on the Web page for the advisory 

meeting or teleconference. Members of 

the public should be aware that their 

contact information, if included in any 

written comments, will appear on the 

web. Furthermore, special care should 

be taken not to include copy-righted 

material. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Thomas 

Carpenter at the phone number or email address noted above, preferably at 

least ten days prior to the meeting, to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request.
