Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAQPS–2004–

0065. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or e-mail. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an e-mail 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov your email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. For additional information 

about EPA’s public docket visit the EPA 

Docket Center homepage at http:// 

www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.

What Information Is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

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

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

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 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
21004 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 81 / Friday April 27, 2007 / Notices 

(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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

What Should I Consider When I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are S/L/Ts 

participating in this voluntary program. 

These government establishments are 

classified as Air and Water Resource 

and Solid Waste Management Programs 

under Standard Industrial Classification 

(SIC) code 9511 and North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

code 92411. No industries under any 

SIC or NAICS codes will be included 

among respondents. 

Title: Application Requirements for 

the Approval and Delegation of Federal 

Air Toxics Programs to State, Territorial, 

Local, and Tribal Agencies. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1643.06, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0264. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on September 30, 

2007. 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 information collection 

is an application from State, territorial, 

local, or tribal agencies (S/L/Ts) for 

delegation of regulations developed 

under section 112 of the Clean Air Act 

(Act). The five options for delegation are 

straight delegation, rule adjustment, rule 

substitution, equivalency by permit, or 

state program approval. The information 

is needed and used to determine if the 

entity submitting an application has met 

the criteria established in the subpart E 

rule, codified as 40 CFR part 63, subpart 

E, in accordance with section 112(l) of 

the Act. This information is necessary 

and required for the Administrator to 

determine the acceptability of approving 

the S/L/T’s rules, requirements or 

programs in lieu of the Federal section 

112 rules or programs. Additionally, it 

is also necessary for the proper 

performance of our function, and will be 

used to ensure that the subpart E 

approval criteria have been met. The 

collection of information is authorized 

under 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 341 hours per S/L/ 

T and 41 hours per application. 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: 124 S/L/Ts 

• Frequency of response: One time 

per delegation request 

• Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 8 

• Estimated total annual burden 

hours: 41,577 

• Estimated total annual respondent 

costs: $1,816,490. This includes an 

estimated labor burden cost of 

$1,790,760 and operation and 

maintenance costs result from 

photocopying and postage expenses, 

which are a total of $25,720. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

We are in the process of reviewing the 

key assumptions in the ICR that affect 

the overall burden estimation. These 

include, the number of delegation 

activities expected to occur during the 

upcoming clearance period, the 

delegation options most likely to be 

used by the delegated S/L/Ts, and the 

burden associated with each of the 

options. Depending on the outcome of 

this review, there could be changes in 

the overall burden estimates. 

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
