EPA ICR Number: 1663.08. OMB Control Number: 2060–0376. Abstract: The Clean Air Act (the CAA) contains several provisions directing EPA to require source owners to conduct monitoring to support certification as to their status of compliance with applicable requirements. These provisions are set forth in Section 504 (operating permits provisions) and Section 114 (enforcement provisions) of the CAA. Section 504(b) directs EPA to implement monitoring and certification requirements through the operating permits program. This section allows EPA to prescribe by rule, methods and procedures for determining compliance recognizing that continuous emissions monitoring systems need not be required if other procedures or methods provide sufficiently reliable and timely information for determining compliance. Under section 504(c), each operating permit must ‘‘set forth inspection, entry, monitoring, compliance, certification, and reporting requirements to assure compliance with the permit terms and conditions.’’ Section 114(a)(3) requires EPA to promulgate rules for enhanced monitoring and compliance certifications. Section 114(a)(1) of the provides additional authority concerning monitoring, reporting, and record keeping requirements. This section provides the Administrator with the authority to require any owner or operator of a source to install and operate monitoring systems and to record the resulting monitoring data. EPA promulgated the Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) rule, 40 CFR part 64, on October 22, 1997 (62 FR 54900) to implement these authorities.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: All facilities required to have an operating permit under Title V of the CAA and the state, local and tribal permitting authorities that implement the CAM

program.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory under Title V of the CAA.

Estimated number of respondents:
23,235

Frequency of response: At least every 6 months per Title V and the implementing regulations at 40 CFR 70.6(a)(3)(iii)(A) and (B).

Total estimated burden: 50,473 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $2,031,643 (per year), which includes no annualized capital or operation and maintenance

costs.

Changes in Estimates: There is decrease of 7,403,108 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is a result of the fact that most facilities are now using electronic monitoring systems that automatically record the output of the monitor, thus, resulting in a decrease in the number of labor hours needed to


### 69083 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 222 / Monday, November 18, 2013 / Notices

record the monitoring results. Additionally, all affected facilities with existing Title V permits have now submitted their CAM monitoring approach in their permit renewal applications, therefore, significantly reducing the costs for new monitoring development. Also, we reviewed the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the Title V permit program vis-a ` -vis those required under the CAM program. We found that, with the exception of sources required to develop a quality improvement plan, sources were meeting the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for CAM by complying with the requirements of the Title V program. We revised some of our assumptions to account for the additional requirements set forth under the CAM rule that are not outlined in the Title V program, while at the same time ensuring that requirements met under the Title V program were not being re-counted in this assessment. Furthermore, in order to reflect projected trends for the next 3 years, we updated some of the formulas used to calculate burden.

EPA ICR Number: 2236.04. OMB Control Number: 2060–0594. Abstract: This ICR assesses the burden (in hours and dollars) of the 1997 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) Implementation Rule as well as the periodic reporting and record keeping necessary to maintain the rule. The rule was proposed on June 2, 2003, (68 FR 32802) and promulgated in two Phases: Phase 1 published on April 30, 2004, (69 FR 23951) and Phase 2 published on November 29, 2005 (70 FR 71612). The rule includes requirements that involve collecting information from states withareas that remain designated nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. These information collection milestones include state submission of an attainment demonstration SIP, a RFP SIP submission, and a RACT SIP. However, not all of the milestones and associated burden and administrative costs estimates apply to every designated nonattainment area. Theburden estimated is for six of the thirtyeight non-attainment areas that were reclassified to a higher classification resulting in new SIP revisions required.The remaining thirty-two nonattainment areas have either met the requirements or have their requirements suspended.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: States and regional entities.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory as required by the Clean Air Act, Section 110.

Estimated number of respondents: 6 (total).

Frequency of response: Annual.

Total estimated burden: 11,667 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $759,500 (per year), which includes no annualized capital or operation & maintenance

costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 5,000 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This is due to a number of reasons that include: (1) The burdenassociated with one remaining nonattainment area that may receive a mandatory reclassification is estimated to be the same as areas completing the initial SIP framework because of the work they must complete to reevaluate databases, emissions inventories, legal authorities, state rule development, publication and public hearing to comply with the standards; (2) EPA’s final rule of May 14, 2012 (77 FR 28423)assigning former subpart 1 ozone nonattainment areas re-designations under subpart 2, resulted in non-attainment areas with additional burden for completing SIP revisions; (3) the number of non-attainment areas has decreased as areas have come into compliance with the standards; and (4) the number of non-attainment areas with SIP revisions required has decreased as areas have either submitted the requirements or the planning
