ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Gathering Data on Results of Annual 

and Triennial Testing To Evaluate the 

Impacts of EPA’s 2015 Federal 

Underground Storage Tank Regulation’’ 

(EPA ICR No. 2650.01, OMB Control No. 

2050–NEW) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is 

soliciting public comments on specific 

aspects of the proposed information 

collection as described below. This is a 

request for approval of a new collection. 

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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before August 1, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OLEM–2022–0440 online using

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: This information collection 

request will allow U.S. E.P.A. to employ 

a contractor to compile data from 

private companies providing 

compliance testing to owners of 

federally regulated underground storage 

tank systems (USTs). The completed 

dataset of test results will allow EPA to 

evaluate the effectiveness of several of 

the newly required measures to prevent 

fuel releases included in the 2015 

federal UST regulation: Spill 

containment liquid tightness testing, 

containment sump liquid tightness 

testing (for containment sumps used for 

interstitial monitoring of piping of 

single-wall construction), overfill 

equipment inspections, and two types of 

annual leak detection equipment 

testing. EPA is interested in 

quantitatively assessing if passing rates 

improve between initial and subsequent 

rounds of testing in the 15 states from 

which data will be collected. EPA will 

use the data to identify if, and by how 

much, testing required by the regulation 

impacts equipment performance over 

time. EPA will use this information to 

enhance national UST program 

performance. EPA will share the 

information gathered from this 

collection with all state implementing 

agencies, who could use the results to 

better inform their future regulations, 

policies, and guidance for preventing 

UST releases. Sharing this information 

will help states implement their 

programs better, which will help EPA 

execute national UST program goals and 

better protect human health and the 

environment. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: UST 

testing and compliance companies, UST 

facility owners and operators. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 60. 

Frequency of response: One-time 

collection. 

Total estimated burden: 1,275 hours 

per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $53,398.75 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: This is a 

request for a new collection.
