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 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.


### 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**
