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 those which 

participate in the NOX Budget Trading 

Program to Reduce the Regional 

Transport of Ozone. 

Title: NOX Budget Trading Program to 

Reduce the Regional Transport of 

Ozone. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1857.05, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0445. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on September 30, 

2010. 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 NOX Budget Trading 

Program is a market-based cap and trade 

program created to reduce emissions of 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) from power 

plants and other large combustion 

sources in the eastern United States. 

NOX is a prime ingredient in the 

formation of ground-level ozone (smog), 

a pervasive air pollution problem in 

many areas of the eastern United States. 

The NOX Budget Trading Program was 

designed to reduce NOX emissions 

during the warm summer months, 

referred to as the ozone season, when 

ground-level ozone concentrations are 

highest. In 2009 the program was 

replaced by the Clean Air Interstate Rule 

Ozone Season Trading Program 

(CAIROS). Although the trading 

program was replaced after the 2008 

compliance season, this information 

collection is being renewed for two 

reasons. First, some industrial sources 

in certain States are still required to 

monitor and report emissions data to 

EPA under these rules, so we will 

account for their burden. Second, the 

Agency may at some future time, 

reinstitute the NOX Budget Trading 

Program. For example, this might 

happen if both the CAIR and CAIR 

replacement rules were vacated by the 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

14440 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 57 / Thursday, March 25, 2010 / Notices 

Court. All data received by EPA will be 

treated as public information. 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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 41 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: 700. 

Frequency of response: Varies by task. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 2. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

516,562. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$58,944,478. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $30,665,678 and an 

estimated cost of $28,278,800 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

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
