Title: General Administrative 

Requirements for Assistance Programs. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0938.16, 

OMB Control Number 2030–0020. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on April 30, 2009. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

and 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 information is collected 

from applicants/recipients of EPA 

assistance to monitor adherence to the 

programmatic and administrative 

requirements of the Agency’s financial 

assistance program. It is used to make 

awards, pay recipients, and collect 

information on how Federal funds are 

being spent. EPA needs this information 

to meet its Federal stewardship 

responsibilities. This ICR renewal 

requests authorization for the collection 

of information under EPA’s General 

Regulation for Assistance Programs, 

which establishes minimum 

management requirements for all 

recipients of EPA grants or cooperative 

agreements (assistance agreements). 

Recipients must respond to these 

information requests to obtain and/or 

retain a benefit (Federal funds). 40 CFR 

part 30, ‘‘Grants and Agreements with 

Institutions of Higher Education, 

Hospitals and Other Non-profit 

Organizations,’’ includes the 

management requirements for potential 

grantees from non-profit organizations. 

40 CFR part 31, ‘‘Uniform 

Administrative Requirements for Grants 

and Cooperative Agreements to State 

and Local Governments,’’ includes the 

management responsibilities for 

potential State and local government 

grantees. These regulations include only 

those provisions mandated by statute, 

required by OMB Circulars, or added by 

EPA to ensure sound and effective 

financial assistance management. This 

ICR combines all of these requirements 

under OMB Control Number 2030–0020. 

The information required by these 

regulations will be used by EPA award 

officials to make assistance awards and 

assistance payments and to verify that 

the recipient is using Federal funds 

appropriately to comply with OMB 

Circulars A–21, A–87, A–102, A–110, 

A–122, A–128, and A–133, which set 

forth the pre-award, post-award, and 

after-the-grant requirements. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 19 hours per 

respondent. 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: 

Applicants and recipients of EPA 

assistance agreements. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

6,105. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

quarterly, and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

114,531. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$5,930,031. This includes an estimated 

labor cost of $5,930,031 and $0 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 5,917 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase resulted from the 

addition and elimination of some grant 

forms as well as updates to the ICR’s 

burden estimates.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1395.07, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0092. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on May 31, 2009. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed 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 authority for these 

requirements is sections 302, 303, and 

304 of the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11002, 11003, 

and 11004). EPCRA established broad 

emergency planning and facility 

reporting requirements. Section 302 

requires facilities to notify their State 

emergency response commission (SERC) 

that the facility is subject to emergency 

planning. This activity has been 

completed; this ICR covers only new 

facilities that are subject to this 

requirement. Section 303 requires the 

local emergency planning committees 

(LEPCs) to prepare emergency plans for 

facilities that are subject to section 302. 

This activity has been also completed; 

this ICR only covers any updates needed 

for these emergency response plans. 

Section 304 requires facilities to report 

to SERCs and LEPCs releases in excess 

of the reportable quantities listed for 

each extremely hazardous substance 

(EHS). This ICR also covers the 

notification and the written follow-up 

required under this section. The 

implementing regulations and the list of 

substances for emergency planning and 

emergency release notification are 

codified in 40 CFR part 355. 

On November 3, 2008 (73 FR 64452), 

EPA revised some of the requirements 

in 40 CFR part 355, specifically, the 

requirements related to emergency 

planning notification. EPA is now 

requiring facilities to notify their LEPC 

within 30 days of any changes occurring 

at the facility that may be relevant to 

emergency planning. This revision 

should not impose any additional 

burden on facilities subject to 

emergency planning. Prior to the 

November 3, 2008 final rule, facilities 

were required to provide any changes to 

the LEPC promptly. This final rule now 

requires facilities to provide any 

changes within 30 days. Other revisions 

finalized on November 3, 2008, do not 

impose any burden on facilities subject 

to section 302 and 304 requirements. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 3 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: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are those which have a threshold 

planning quantity of an extremely 

hazardous substance (EHS) listed in 40 

CFR part 355, Appendix A and those 

which have a release of any of the EHS 

above a reportable quantity. Entities 

more likely to be affected by this action 

may include chemical manufacturers, 

non-chemical manufacturers, retailers, 

petroleum refineries, utilities, etc. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

98,456 (annual). 

Frequency of Response: EPCRA 

section 302 reporting is a one-time 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 24, 2009 / Notices 12359 

notification unless there are changes to 

the reported information; EPCRA 

section 304 notification is only when a 

release occurs from the facility. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

295,756 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$13,134,444, including $68,719 

annualized O&M costs. There are no 

capital costs associated with this ICR. 

Changes in the Estimates: Based on 

the information received from the 

Regions, the number of facilities subject 

to section 302 increased by 18,080 from 

the previous ICR. EPA also noticed that 

the release notification calls to the 

National Response Center also increased 

by 10,502 from the previous ICR. EPA 

underestimated the burden incurred by 

facilities in developing written followup reports under section 304 in 

previous ICRs. In this ICR, EPA 

developed an average for the burden 

incurred to comply with section 304 

reporting based on the information 

provided by industries that the Agency 

contacted. 

Due to the reasons above, there is an 

increase of 112,409 hours in the 

estimated average annual burden in this 

ICR from what is currently approved.
