5802 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2011 / Notices 

Additional Background on Burden 

Estimation Method 

The methodology and draft estimates 

of incremental administrative burden 

for this ICR are documented in a 

separate supporting statement in the 

docket. The methodology and draft 

estimates in the PM2.5 Implementation 

Rule ICR are based on the ICR 

developed for the 8-hour ozone 

Implementation Rule ICR (EPA ICR No. 

2236.02, OMB Control No. 2060–0594). 

The 8-hour ozone Implementation Rule 

ICR methodology and draft estimates 

were submitted to EPA’s Ozone NAAQS 

Implementation Workgroup for their 

review and comment. This workgroup is 

comprised of representatives from EPA 

Regional Offices I through IX, as well as 

EPA’s Offices of General Counsel, Office 

of Policy, and Air and Radiation 

(including the Offices of Transportation 

and Air Quality, Air Quality Planning 

and Standards, and Policy Analysis and 

Review). 

The workgroup provided constructive 

criticism on earlier drafts which 

resulted in clarifications to the 

methodology section, revisions to the 

categorization of non-attainment areas 

by Regional Office, and changes to the 

temporal allocation of Regional Office 

administrative burden. The workgroup 

reviewed the June 2006 ICR supporting 

statement which was forwarded to 

OMB’s Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs. The workgroup 

believed there would be differences 

between the realized incremental 

administrative burden of the states and 

Regional Offices versus what was in the 

supporting statement. However, the 

estimates in the ICR supporting 

statement were judged to be 

appropriate. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

The 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

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 direct and 

indirect reporters and state and local 

government authorized programs. 

Title: Cross-Media Electronic 

Reporting Rule (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2002.05, 

OMB Control Number 2025–0003. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 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 scope of this 

Information Collection Request is the 

final electronic reporting components of 

CROMERR, which is designed to: Allow 

EPA to comply with the Government 

Paperwork Elimination Act of 1998; 

provide a uniform, technology-neutral 

framework for electronic reporting 

across all EPA programs; allow EPA 

programs to offer electronic reporting as 

they become ready for CROMERRR; and 

provide states with a streamlined 

process—together with uniform set of 

standards—for approval of their 

electronic reporting provisions for all 

their EPA-authorized programs. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are voluntary. In order to 

accommodate CBI, the information 

collected must be in accordance with 

the confidentiality regulations set forth 

in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. 

Additionally, EPA will ensure that the 

information collection procedures 

comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 

and the OMB Circular 108. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting burden for facilities for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average: about 10 minutes for an 

individual reporting electronically to 

EPA’s CDX to prepare and submit the 

on-line subscriber agreement 

application and call the CDX Help Desk; 

15 minutes for an individual that 

prepares and submits a subscriber 

agreement to a State/Local agency; 5 

minutes for an individual that prepares 

and files a subscriber agreement on site 

at the facility under a Local Registration 

Authority (LRA) arrangement; and 30 

minutes for each facility LRA, including 

the time for preparing and submitting 

the certification of receipt and secure 

storage of on-site subscriber agreements 

to EPA or the State/Local agency. The 

annual public recordkeeping burden for 

facilities for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

about 30 minutes for the LRA, including 

time for compiling subscriber 

agreements from employee registrants 

within the LRA’s firm, placing and 

maintaining them in secure storage. The 

public reporting burden in this ICR is 

estimated to range from 210 hours for a 

Local government to 330 hours for State 

EPA seeking to implement an electronic 

receiving system. This includes time for 

preparing and submitting the program 

modification application to EPA. 

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: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Facilities reporting electronically to 

EPA and state or local government 

authorized programs; and state and local 

government authorized programs 

implementing electronic. 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
5804 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2011 / Notices 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: EPA estimates 20,391 

facilities on average to register for 

electronic reporting to EPA or State/ 

Local authorized program electronic 

document receiving systems each year, 

with an average total of 67,902 

employee registrants each year. EPA 

estimates that 15 state agencies and 46 

other local government jurisdictions 

will submit CROMERR applications for 

their electronic reporting programs each 

year. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

48,292 hours for facilities and 14,717 

hours for state and local authorized 

programs. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$5,401,250 for facilities and $4,868,889 

for state and local authorized programs. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $5,199,840 for facilities and $417,926 

for state and local authorized programs, 

and an estimated cost of $201,410 for 

facilities and $4,450,963 for state and 

local authorized programs for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

EPA does not expect a significant 

change in the ICR renewal compared to 

the previous ICR, as the basic 

requirements are the same. There is an 

adjustment in the labor cost estimates 

due to the inflation of the labor rates 

over the past three years. Also, EPA 

expects the total estimated respondent 

burden for state and local government 

authorized programs identified in the 

ICR currently approved by OMB, to 

decrease over the next three year 

because most authorized programs with 

existing electronic document receiving 

systems submitted CROMERR 

applications to EPA, in compliance with 

the January 13, 2010 regulatory 

deadline. EPA expects a further 

reduction in the total number of 

respondents based on a decrease in the 

number of affected facilities. 

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
