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

the PRA, EPA is soliciting 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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: As part of the Clean Air Act 

Amendments of 1990, the U.S. Congress 

included, as part of section 507, the 

requirements that each state establish a 

Small Business Stationary Source 

Technical and Environmental 

Compliance Assistance Program to 

assist small businesses in complying 

with the Act. These programs are 

generally known as Small Business 

Environmental Assistance Programs 

(SBEAPs). EPA’s Small Business 

Ombudsman must oversee the overall 

507 program and be able to provide the 

Congress with periodical reports on the 

effectiveness, difficulties encountered 

and other relevant information on the 

program. Each state will submit 

requested information to EPA for 

compilation and summarization. This 

collection of information is mandatory 

under Section 507(a), (d) and (e) of the 

Clean Air Act as amended in 1990, 

Public Law 101–549, November 15, 

1990. Information that is collected is 

aggregated and is not of a confidential 

nature. None of the information 

collected by this action results in/or 

requests sensitive information of any 

nature from the states. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: State 

and/or state appointed entities of the 

507 program, usually college or 

university staff. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under Section 507(a), (d) and 

(e) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 

1990, Public Law 101–549, November 

15, 1990. 

Estimated number of respondents: 53 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 2,120 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $ 104,664 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. There is a possibility 

that the total estimated cost may 

increase slightly due to inflation prices 

and will be determined once final 

numbers are generated but generally 

speaking hours spent in responding to 

the data collection will not change.

Substantiations of Claims of 

Confidential Business Information 

(CBI) From Businesses That Have 

Submitted Reports and Transactional 

Information Under the Renewable Fuel 

Standard (RFS) Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) has 

received a request under the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) for certain 

records submitted to EPA under the 

Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) 

program between January 1, 2011 and 

November 2014. These records were 

submitted to EPA pursuant to the RFS 

program’s annual reporting, quarterly 

reporting and transactional information 

reporting within EPA’s Moderated 

Transaction System (EMTS). This notice 

is a request for substantiations of 

confidentiality claims from businesses 

that have submitted any or all of the 

information listed in this notice and are 

claiming the information as confidential 

business information (CBI). The 

procedures by which businesses may 

voluntarily substantiate claims of CBI in 

regard to the information at issue in the 

FOIA request are provided in this 

notice, which is referenced in the 

parties’ joint briefing schedule in the 

case, Perkins Coie LLP v. McCarthy, 

Case 1:13-cv-01799 (D.D.C filed Nov. 11, 

2013). EPA’s Office of General Counsel 

(OGC) will review comments received 

in response to this notice in preparing 

a Final Confidentiality Determination 

under 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, to 

determine whether the information at 

issue should be released publicly in 

response to the FOIA request at issue in 

the above-referenced litigation. If OGC 

determines after reviewing the 

substantiations that some or all of the 

documents responsive to the FOIA 

request are not entitled to confidential 

treatment under 40 CFR part 2, and 

therefore should be released, EPA will 

provide notice of this determination by 

letter, prior to release, to businesses 

who have submitted the information, 

allowing such businesses 10 working 

days to respond, pursuant to 40 CFR 

2.205(f).
