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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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

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.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

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 with 

areas 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. The 

burden 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 burden 

associated 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
