Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 221 / Friday, November 14, 2008 / Notices 67509 

the consistency achieved among the 

EPA Regions and states, the resources 

required to conduct the reviews, and the 

overall effectiveness of the program. 

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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 612 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: 50 

states and 4 territories. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

54. 

Frequency of Response: Once every 

four years. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

11,016. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$357,684, includes $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 5,894 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is based on 

EPA’s recent experience with 

administering the program, an estimated 

increase in the number of respondents 

during the next cycle, and its work with 

the states to try to improve the value 

and utilization of the elements and 

metrics by which state environmental 

programs are measured.
