proposed extension of the ICR which is 

currently approved through February 

29, 2024. An agency may not conduct or

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

Public comments were previously 

requested via the Federal Register on 

April 26, 2023, during a 60-day 

comment period (88 FR 25401). This 

notice allows for an additional 30 days 

for public comments. Supporting 

documents, which explain in detail the 

information that the EPA will be 

collecting, are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center,

Abstract: This ICR renewal will cover 

the information collection activities 

associated with the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for 

individuals, firms and state and local 

government entities conducting leadbased paint (LBP) activities or 

renovations of target housing and childoccupied facilities (COFs); training 

providers; and states/territories/tribes/ 

Alaskan native villages. 

Form numbers: 8500–25, 8500–27, 

747–B–99–002, 9600–050, 9600–051, 

and 9600–052. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR include 

persons who are engaged in LBP 

activities and/or perform renovations of 

target housing or COFs for 

compensation, dust sampling, or dust 

testing; or who perform LBP 

inspections, lead hazard screens, risk 

assessments or abatements in target 

housing or COFs; or who provide 

training or operate a training program 

for individuals who perform any of 

these activities; or state, territorial or 

Native American agencies that 

administer LBP activities and/or 

renovation programs. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 745). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

441,034 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 6,273,748 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $360,166,618 

(per year), which includes $17,400,556 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase of 1,022,428 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase reflects several 

adjustments to the estimates including 

revisions to the estimated number of 

respondents based on the number of 

respondents reporting to EPA for the 

prior information collection and 

revisions based on other market factors. 

Changes in burden estimates reflect 

changes within the housing renovation 

market, as measured by EPA’s FLPP 

database, which tracks LBP and RRP 

activity over time, as reported to the 

Agency. This change is an adjustment.

Abstract: Transportation conformity is 

required under Clean Air Act section 

176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)) to ensure that 

federally supported transportation 

activities are consistent with (‘‘conform 

to’’) the purpose of the State Air Quality 

Implementation Plan (SIP). 

Transportation activities include 

transportation plans, transportation 

improvement programs (TIPs), and 

federally funded or approved highway 

or transit projects. Conformity to the 

purpose of the SIP means that 

transportation activities will not cause 

or contribute to new air quality 

violations, worsen existing violations, or 

delay timely attainment of the relevant 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS)) or interim milestones. 

Transportation conformity applies 

under EPA’s conformity regulations at 

40 CFR part 93, subpart A, to areas that 

are designated nonattainment and 

maintenance areas for the following 

transportation-related criteria 

pollutants: ozone, particulate matter 

(PM2.5 and PM10), carbon monoxide 

(CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). EPA 

published the original transportation 

conformity rule on November 24, 1993 

(58 FR 62188), and has subsequently 

published several revisions. EPA 

develops the conformity regulations in 

coordination with the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) and Federal 

Transit Administration (FTA). The 

federal government needs information 

collected under these regulations to 

ensure that metropolitan planning 

organization (MPO) and federal 

transportation actions are consistent 

with state air quality goals. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: MPOs, 

local transit agencies, state departments 

of transportation, and state and local air 

quality agencies. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory pursuant to Clean Air Act 

section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)) and 40 

CFR part 93. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

145 (total). 

Frequency of response: Typically, 

once every four years for transportation 

plans and TIPs, and for the largest 

MPOs with three or more NAAQS, once 

every three years for transportation 

plans and TIPs. As needed for projects. 

Total estimated burden: 42,481 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,946,914 (per 

year), which includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease of 6,190 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease in burden was 

projected due to the requirement for 

transportation conformity ending in 

PM10, NO2, and CO maintenance areas 

that have reached the end of the 20-year 

maintenance period.
