What information is the EPA 

particularly interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.), the 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, the EPA is requesting 

comments from very small businesses 

(those that employ less than 25 people) 

on examples of specific additional 

efforts that the 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 the 

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? 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2004– 

0489. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are generally 

State, territorial and local government 

air quality managements programs. 

Tribal governments are not affected 

unless they have sought and obtained 

treatment as state status under the 

Tribal Authority Rule and on that basis, 

are authorized to implement and 

enforce the Air Emissions Reporting 

Requirements rule. 

Title: Air Emissions Reporting 

Requirements (Renewal) . 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No.2170.03, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0580. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012. 

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 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 EPA promulgated the 

Air Emissions Reporting Requirements 

(AERR) (40 CFR part 51 subpart A) to 

coordinate emissions inventory 

reporting requirements with existing 

requirements of the Clean Air Act and 

1990 Amendments. Under this 

reporting, 55 State and Territorial air 

quality agencies, including the District 

of Columbia, as well as an estimated 49 

local air quality agencies, must submit 

emissions data every three years for all 

point, non-point, on-road mobile, and 

non-road mobile sources of volatile 

organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen, 

carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, 

particulate matter less than or equal to 

10 micrometers in diameter, particulate 

matter less than or equal to 2.5 

micrometers in diameter, ammonia, and 

lead. 

In addition, the air quality agencies 

must submit annually emission data for 

point sources emitting at greater than 

specified levels of those pollutants. The 

data supplied to the emission reporting 

requirement is needed so that the EPA 

can compile and make available a 

national inventory of air pollutant 

emissions. A comprehensive inventory 

updated at regular intervals is essential 

to allow the EPA to fulfill its mandate 

to monitor and plan for the attainment 

and maintenance of the national 

ambient air quality standards 

established for criteria pollutants. 

This information is collected under 23 

U.S.C. 101; 42 U.S.C 7401–7671q, and 

the authority of the AERR. This 

information is mandatory and, as 

specified, cannot be treated as 

confidential by the EPA. 

The number and frequency of data 

collection and submittal is expected to 

remain the same for 2011–2014. 

Burden: The annual public reporting 

and recordkeeping burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average 42 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 104. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

51,095. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$4,060,576. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $4,060,576 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is no significant change of 

hours in the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. 

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, the 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
