information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Federal Implementation Plan for Oil

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). 

Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting 

public comments on specific aspects of 

the proposed information collection as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

proposed extension of the ICR, which is 

currently approved through March 31, 

2024. 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. 

This document allows 60 days for 

public comments. Supporting 

documents, which explain in detail the 

information that the EPA will be 

collecting, are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. 

The telephone number for the Docket 

Center is 202–566–1744. For additional 

information about EPA’s public docket, 

visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets. 

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

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

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; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) 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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

document to announce the submission 

of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity 

to submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: This ICR covers information 

collection requirements in the final 

Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) for 

Oil and Natural Gas Well Production 

Facilities; Fort Berthold Indian 

Reservation (Mandan, Hidatsa, and 

Arikara Nation), North Dakota (40 CFR 

part 49, subpart K, §§ 49.4161 through 

49.4168), herein referred to as the FBIR 

FIP. In general, owners or operators are 

required to: (1) conduct certain 

monitoring; (2) keep specific records to 

be made available at the EPA’s request; 

and (3) to prepare and submit an annual 

report (40 CFR part 49, subpart K, 

§§ 49.4166 through 49.4168). These 

records and reports are necessary for the 

EPA Administrator (or the tribal agency 

if delegated), for example, to: (1) 

confirm compliance status of stationary 

sources; (2) identify any stationary 

sources not subject to the requirements 

and identify stationary sources subject 

to the regulations; and (3) ensure that 

the stationary source control 

requirements are being achieved. All 

information submitted to us pursuant to 

the recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements for which a claim of 

confidentiality is made is safeguarded 

according to the agency policies set 

forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners or operators of oil and natural 

gas well production facilities on the Fort 

Berthold Indian Reservation (Mandan, 

Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation), North 

Dakota. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (42 U.S.C. 7414). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

3,002 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annually. 

Total estimated burden: 137,279 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $52,619,019 (per 

year), which includes $43,453,950 

annualized capital and operation and 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase of 25,343 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to 

anticipated industry growth projected to 

occur over the next 3-year period of this 

ICR.

Administrator issued an order granting 

in part and denying in part the petition. 

The order itself explains the basis for 

the EPA’s decision. 

Sections 307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the 

CAA provide that a petitioner may 

request judicial review of those portions 

of an order that deny issues in a 

petition. Any petition for review shall 

be filed in the United States Court of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission administers the Federal 

Election Campaign Act, 52 U.S.C. 

30101–45, in relevant part, through a 

review of disclosure reports that are 

filed with the Commission. Political 

committees must file periodic reports, 

while others must file only upon the 

occurrence of specific activity, such as 

the making of independent expenditures 

in an aggregate amount or value in 

excess of $250 during a calendar year. 

See 52 U.S.C. 30104(a), (c). Some 

political committees and other regulated 

persons must file reports electronically,

candidates, treasurers, journalists, and 

members of the general public. 

The Commission periodically reviews 

its programs to ensure it is fulfilling its 

mission of providing transparency to the 

campaign finance system. As part of that 

mission, not only does the Commission 

strive to provide to the public data in an 

easily usable format, but also strives to 

streamline the report filing process for 

filers. The purpose of this Notice is to 

inform the public that the Commission 

is examining its existing policies and
