Abstract: The Small Business Liability 

Relief and Brownfields Revitalization 

Act (Pub. L. 107–118) (‘‘the Brownfields 

Amendments’’) was signed into law on 

January 11, 2002. The Act amends the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA), as amended, and 

authorizes EPA to award cooperative 

agreements to states, tribes, local 

governments, and other eligible entities 

to assess and clean up brownfields sites. 

Under the Brownfields Amendments, a 

brownfields site means real property, 

the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse 

of which may be complicated by the 

presence or potential presence of a 

hazardous substance, pollutant, or 

contaminant. For funding purposes, 

EPA uses the term ‘‘brownfields 

property(ies)’’ synonymously with the 

term ‘‘brownfields sites.’’ The 

Brownfields Amendments authorize 

EPA to award several types of 

cooperative agreements to eligible 

entities on a competitive basis. 

Under subtitle A of the Small 

Business Liability Relief and 

Brownfields Revitalization Act, States, 

tribes, local governments, and other 

eligible entities can receive assessment 

cooperative agreements to inventory, 

characterize, assess, and conduct 

planning and community involvement 

related to brownfields properties; 

cleanup cooperative agreements to carry 

out cleanup activities at brownfields 

properties; cooperative agreements to 

capitalize revolving loan funds and 

provide subgrants for cleanup activities; 

and job training cooperative agreements 

to support the creation and 

implementation of environmental job 

training and placement programs. Under 

subtitle C of the Small Business 

Liability Relief and Brownfields 

Revitalization Act, State and tribes can 

receive cooperative agreements to 

establish and enhance their response 

programs. The cooperative agreements 

support activities necessary to establish 

or enhance four elements of state and 

tribal response programs and to meet 

the public record requirements under 

the statute. The four elements eligible 

for funding include: (a) Timely survey 

and inventory of brownfield sites in the 

State or in the tribal land; (b) oversight 

and enforcement authorities or other 

mechanisms and resources; (c) 

mechanisms and resources to provide 

meaningful opportunities for public 

participation; and (d) mechanisms for 

approval of a cleanup plan and 

verification and certification that 

cleanup is complete. States and tribes 

that receive funding under subtitle C 

must establish a public record system 

during the funding period unless an 

adequate public record system is 

already established. 

Cooperative agreement recipients 

(recipients) have general reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements as a 

condition of their cooperative agreement 

that result in burden. A portion of this 

reporting and recordkeeping burden is 

authorized under 40 CFR Parts 30 and 

31 and identified in the EPA’s general 

grants ICR (OMB Control Number 2030– 

0020). EPA requires Brownfields 

program recipients to maintain and 

report additional information to EPA on 

the uses and accomplishments 

associated with the funded brownfields 

activities. EPA uses several forms to 

assist recipients in reporting the 

information and to ensure consistency 

of the information collected. EPA uses 

this information to meet Federal 

stewardship responsibilities to manage 

and track how program funds are being 

spent, to evaluate the performance of 

the Brownfields Cleanup and 

Redevelopment Program, to meet the 

Agency’s reporting requirements under 

the Government Performance Results 

Act, and to report to Congress and other 

program stakeholders on the status and 

accomplishments of the program. 

This ICR addresses the burden 

imposed on recipients that are 

associated with those reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements that are 

specific to cooperative agreements 

awarded under the Small Business 

Liability Relief and Brownfields 

Revitalization Act. This ICR revision 

modifies the annual reporting and 

recordkeeping burden under the 

previous ICR. The modified burden 

reflects an increase in the number of 

respondents subject to the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements, lower 

number of responses based on previous 

three years of data submissions, and 

improvements to the reporting forms 

based on EPA’s experience. By using the 

same form to report information on 

recipient activities, EPA is adopting a 

streamlined approach that avoids 

potential confusion among recipients 

and allows the Agency to collect and 

report program information consistently 

across all brownfields cooperative 

agreements. EPA is also modifying the 

reporting form to simplify and clarify 

the reporting requirements, which will 

improve the accuracy of information 

reported and minimize the burden to 

recipients. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.25 hours per 

response for the Property Profile Form 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 182 / Wednesday, September 19, 2012 / Notices 58129 

and 4 hours per response for the Job 

Training Reporting Form. 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: 1007. 

Frequency of response: Bi-annual for 

subtitle C recipients; quarterly for 

subtitle A recipients. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 20. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

3,167 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$308,911. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $308,911 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 one hour in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects EPA’s updating of 

burden estimates for this collection 

based on an increase in number of 

experienced recipients familiar with 

reporting requirements, a lowered 

number of responses based on previous 

data submission, and improvements in 

the ACRES reporting database. 

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
