Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 26, 2011 / Notices 44581 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No.1463.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0096. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on July 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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: This ICR covers the 

remedial portion of the Superfund 

Program, as specified in the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 as amended (CERCLA) and 

the National Oil and Hazardous 

Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 

(NCP). All remedial actions covered by 

this ICR (e.g., Remedial Investigations/ 

Feasibility Studies) are stipulated in the 

statute (CERCLA) and are instrumental 

in the process of cleaning up National 

Priorities List (NPL) sites to be 

protective of human health and the 

environment. Some community 

involvement activities covered by this 

ICR are not required at every site (e.g., 

Technical Assistance Grants) and 

depend very much on the community 

and the nature of the site and cleanup. 

All community activities seek to involve 

the public in the cleanup of the sites, 

gain the input of community members 

and include the community’s 

perspective on the potential future reuse 

of the Superfund NPL sites. Community 

Involvement activities can enhance the 

remedial process and increase 

community acceptance and the 

potential for productive and useful 

reuse of the sites. 

The respondents on whom a burden 

is placed include state and tribal 

governments and communities. 

Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) 

are not addressed in this ICR because 

the Paperwork Reduction Act does not 

require the inclusion of those entities 

that are the subject of administrative or 

civil action by the Agency. The ICR 

reports the estimated reporting and 

recordkeeping burden hours and costs 

expected to be incurred by these entities 

and by the Federal government in its 

oversight capacities of state action and 

administration of community activities 

at Fund-lead NPL sites. Remedial 

activities undertaken by states at NPL 

sites are those required and 

recommended by CERCLA and the NCP 

and the cost of many of these activities 

may be reimbursed by the Federal 

government. All community 

involvement in the remedial process of 

Superfund is voluntary. Therefore, all 

cost estimates for community members 

is theoretical and does not represent 

expenditure of actual dollars. 

States have responsibilities at new 

and ongoing state-lead sites and at all 

state-lead, Federal-lead and Federal 

Facility sites entering the remedial 

phase of Superfund. All other remedial 

activities taken by the state are done so 

at sites which the state voluntarily 

assumes the lead agency role. Over each 

year of this ICR, the state will be 

completing remedial activities at sites 

that entered the remedial phase of 

Superfund at different times. 

Community members’ participation in 

remedial activities at Superfund sites is 

purely voluntary, and the level of 

involvement varies greatly depending 

on the complexity of the site, its 

location (urban vs. rural, industrial vs. 

residential, etc.) and the level of 

interest. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 14 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: State/ 

tribal governments and individual 

community members who voluntarily 

participate in the remedial phase of the 

Superfund program and in associated 

community involvement activities 

throughout the Superfund process. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

11,397. 

Frequency of Response: Once, On 

Occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

179,615 . 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$813,440, which is entirely for the cost 

of labor. All other associated costs to 

respondents are reimbursed by the 

Federal government. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 108,450 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is primarily due 

to an adjustment in estimates 

attributable to the increase in the 

number of sites estimated to have RI/FS 

starts and ongoing RI/FS activity as well 

as an the increase in the number of sites 

expected to have Proposed Plans 

developed, and the introduction of 

customer satisfaction surveys at certain 

sites.
