comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the docket, and to access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

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 

(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 owners and 

operators of underground injection 

wells, State Underground Injection 

Control (UIC) primacy agencies, and 

U.S. EPA Regional Offices with Direct 

Implementation (DI) UIC programs. 

Title: Underground Injection Control 

(UIC) Program. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0370.24, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0042. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on December 31, 

2011. 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: The Underground Injection 

Control (UIC) Program under the Safe 

Drinking Water Act established a 

Federal and State regulatory system to 

protect underground sources of drinking 

water (USDWs) from contamination by 

injected fluids. Injected fluids include 

trillions of gallons of various types of 

fluids each year such as hazardous 

waste, oil field brines or produced 

water, mineral processing fluids, 

various types of industrial fluids, 

automotive, sanitary and other wastes, 

and carbon dioxide injected for geologic 

sequestration. Owners/operators of 

underground injection wells must 

obtain permits, conduct environmental 

monitoring, maintain records, and 

report results to EPA or the State UIC 

primacy agency. States must report to 

EPA on permittee compliance, owners/ 

operators of rule-authorized well 

compliance and related information.

51972 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 2011 / Notices 

The mandatory information is reported 

using standardized forms and annual 

reports, and the regulations are codified 

at 40 CFR Parts 144 through 148. The 

data are used by UIC authorities to 

ensure the protection of underground 

sources of drinking water. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2.32 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: 53,772. 

Frequency of response: annual, semiannual, and quarterly. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 10.39. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

1,296,167 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$194,842,061. This includes an 

estimated burden cost of $54,384,103 

and an estimated cost of $140,457,959 

for capital investment or maintenance 

and operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is an increase of 233,836 hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This increase reflects a variety of 

adjustments and program changes. Most 

of the burden increase is due to 

increases in the inventory of injection 

wells and the number of permit 

applications and mechanical integrity 

tests submitted by operators and 

reviewed by permitting authorities. 

Other changes and adjustments relate to 

reduced activities associated with the 

Florida Class I Rule and the 1999 Class 

V Rule, addition of burden associated 

with the 2010 Class VI Rule, granting of 

primacy to two Tribes, and burden 

reduction associated with electronic 

reporting via the National UIC 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

Notice 

In accordance with Section 309(a) of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to 

make its comments on EISs issued by 

other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA met this mandate by 

publishing weekly notices of availability 

of EPA comments, which includes a 

brief summary of EPA’s comment 

letters, in the Federal Register. Since 

February 2008, EPA has included its 

comment letters on EISs on its Web site 

at: http://www.epa.gov/compliance/

nepa/eisdata.html. Including the entire 

EIS comment letters on the Web site 

satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement 

to make EPA’s comments on EISs 

available to the public. Accordingly, on 

March 31, 2010, EPA discontinued the 

publication of the notice of availability 

of EPA comments in the Federal 

Register.
