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

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.
