For the Cooperative Agreements and 

Superfund State Contracts for 

Superfund Response Actions ICR 

Affected Entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are states, 

federally-recognized Indian tribes and 

tribal consortia, and political 

subdivisions which apply to EPA for 

financial assistance under a Superfund 

cooperative agreement or a Superfund 

State Contract. 

Title: Cooperative Agreements and 

Superfund State Contracts for 

Superfund Response Actions (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1487.11, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0179. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on February 28, 

2013. 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 in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal 

Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This ICR authorizes the 

collection of information under 40 CFR 

part 35, subpart O, which establishes 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices 47837 

the administrative requirements for 

cooperative agreements funded under 

the Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) for State, federallyrecognized Indian tribal governments, 

and political subdivision response 

actions. This regulation also codifies the 

administrative requirements for 

Superfund State Contracts for non-State 

lead remedial responses. This regulation 

includes only those provisions 

mandated by CERCLA, required by 

OMB Circulars, or added by EPA to 

ensure sound and effective financial 

assistance management under this 

regulation. The information is collected 

from applicants and/or recipients of 

EPA assistance and is used to make 

awards, pay recipients, and collect 

information on how federal funds are 

being utilized. EPA requires this 

information to meet its federal 

stewardship responsibilities. Recipient 

responses are required to obtain a 

benefit (federal funds) under 40 CFR 

part 31, ‘‘Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for Grants and 

Cooperative Agreements to State and 

Local Governments’’ and under 40 CFR 

part 35, ‘‘State and Local Assistance.’’ 

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 in 40 CFR are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

The EPA would like to solicit 

comments 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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 7.38 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 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: 568. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.7. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

4,189. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$128,467. (This includes only the 

estimated burden cost of $128,467 and 

no costs for capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs.) 

For the Superfund Site Evaluation and 

Hazard Ranking System ICR 

Affected Entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are those state 

agencies, Indian tribes, and U.S. 

territories performing Superfund site 

evaluation activities. 

Title: Superfund Site Evaluation and 

Hazard Ranking System (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1488.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0095. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2015. 

Abstract: Section 105 of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA, 1980 and 1986) amends 

the National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Contingency Plan (NCP) to 

include criteria prioritizing releases 

throughout the U.S. before undertaking 

remedial action at uncontrolled 

hazardous waste sites. The Hazard 

Ranking System (HRS) is a model that 

is used to evaluate the relative threats to 

human health and the environment 

posed by actual or potential releases of 

hazardous substances, pollutants, and 

contaminants. The HRS criteria take 

into account the population at risk, the 

hazard potential of the substances, as 

well as the potential for contamination 

of drinking water supplies, direct 

human contact, destruction of sensitive 

ecosystems, damage to natural resources 

affecting the human food chain, 

contamination of surface water used for 

recreation or potable water 

consumption, and contamination of 

ambient air. 

EPA regional offices work with states 

to determine those sites for which the 

state will conduct the Superfund site 

evaluation activities and the HRS 

scoring. The states are reimbursed 100 

percent of their costs, except for record 

maintenance. 

Under this ICR, the states will apply 

the HRS by identifying and classifying 

those releases or sites that warrant 

further investigation. The HRS score is 

crucial since it is the primary 

mechanism used to determine whether 

a site is eligible to be included on the 

National Priorities List (NPL). Only sites 

on the NPL are eligible for Superfundfinanced remedial actions. 

HRS scores are derived from the 

sources described in this information 

collection, including conducting field 

reconnaissance, taking samples at the 

site, and reviewing available reports and 

documents. States record the collected 

information on HRS documentation 

worksheets and include this in the 

supporting reference package. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and record keeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 213.85 hours per 

response. EPA estimates 60 states, 

Indian tribes, and U.S. territories will 

likely respond, each averaging 9–10 

actions per year. The total burden for all 

respondents is estimated at 121,681 

hours and approximately $11,238,970 

each year (based on historic data on 

estimated costs per site assessment 

activity). 

The current ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 60. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 9.5. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

121,681 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$11,238,970. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $11,238,970 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

For the National Oil and Hazardous 

Substance Pollution Contingency Plan

Title: National Oil and Hazardous 

Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 

(NCP) (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1463.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0096. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 31, 2015. 

Abstract: This Information Collection 

Request is a renewal ICR that covers the 

remedial portion of the Superfund 

program, as specified in the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 as amended (CERCLA) and 

the National Oil and Hazardous 

Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 

(NCP). All remedial actions covered by 

this ICR (e.g., remedial investigations/ 

feasibility studies) are stipulated in the 

statute (CERCLA) and are instrumental 

in the process of cleaning up National 

Priorities List (NPL) sites to be 

protective of human health and the 

environment. Some community 

involvement activities covered by this 

ICR are not required at every site (e.g., 

Technical Assistance Grants) and 

depend very much on the community 

and the nature of the site and cleanup. 

All community activities seek to involve 

the public in the cleanup of the sites, 

gain the input of community members, 

and include the community’s 

perspective on the potential future reuse 

of Superfund NPL sites. Community 

involvement activities can enhance the 

remedial process and increase 

community acceptance and the 

potential for productive and beneficial 

reuse of the sites. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 13.84 hours per 

response. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 11,659. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: As 

required. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

179,615 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$813,440. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $261,440 for states and 

an estimated cost of $552,000 for 

communities. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is no change in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. 

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
