Meeting Accessibility: In accordance 

with Section 10(d) of the FACA and 41 

CFR 102–3.155, it is hereby determined 

that portions of the May 11–12, 2022 

meeting of the Board will include 

classified information and other matters 

covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, 

accordingly, the meeting will be closed 

to the public on May 11, 2022 from 6:00 

p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and on May 12, 2022 

from 9:15 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This 

determination is based on the 

consideration that it is expected that 

discussions throughout these periods 

will involve classified matters of 

national security. Such classified 

material is so intertwined with the 

unclassified material that it cannot 

reasonably be segregated into separate 

discussions without defeating the 

effectiveness and meaning of these 

portions of the meeting. To permit these 

portions of the meeting to be open to the 

public would preclude discussion of 

such matters and would greatly

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

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

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.
