5646 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 22 / Thursday, February 3, 2005 / Notices 

pollution control devices are properly 

installed and operated, and the standard 

is being met. Performance test reports 

are needed as these are the Agency’s 

records of a source’s initial capability to 

comply with the emission standards, 

and serve as a record of the operating 

conditions under which compliance 

was achieved. The information 

generated by monitoring, recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements described in 

this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure 

that facilities affected by the standard 

continue to operate the control 

equipment and achieve continuous 

compliance with the regulation. 

All reports are sent to the delegated 

state or local authority. In the event that 

there is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. 

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 are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information are 

estimated to average 198 hours per 

response. Burdens 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; 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:

Owners or operators of municipal waste 

combustors. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

12. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

quarterly, semiannually, annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

20,421 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$1,635,293, which includes $60,000 

annualized capital/startup costs, 

$99,000 (rounded) annual O&M costs, 

and $1,476,293 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 8,536 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This is due to an increase in 

the number of sources from eight to 

twelve from the most recently approved 

ICR.

Title: Source Compliance and State 

Action Reporting (Renewal). 

Abstract: Source Compliance and 

State Action Reporting is an activity 

whereby State, District, Local, and 

Commonwealth governments (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘states/locals’’ or ‘‘state 

and local agencies’’) make air 

compliance information available to the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA or the Agency) on a cyclic basis 

via input to the Air Facility System 

(AFS). The information provided to EPA 

includes compliance activities and 

determinations, and enforcement 

activities. EPA uses this information to 

assess progress toward meeting 

emission requirements developed under 

the authority of the Clean Air Act (CAA 

or the Act) to protect and maintain the 

atmospheric environment and the 

public health. The EPA and many of the 

state and local agencies access the data 

in AFS to assist them in the 

management of their air pollution 

control programs. This renewal 

information collection request (ICR) 

affects oversight of approximately 

41,500 stationary sources by 93 state 

and local agencies and the Federal EPA, 

and is expected to require 144,089 labor 

hours per year and cost approximately 

$5.5 million annually. State and local 

agency burdens and costs are estimated 

as 110,809 hours and approximately 

$3.7 million annually. On average, this 

burden amounts to approximately onethird of a full-time equivalent employee 

for each small state and local agency, 

three-fourths of a full-time equivalent 

employee for each medium sized state 

and local agency and one and one-third 

of a full-time equivalent employee for 

each large sized state and local agency 

for national reporting of complianceand enforcement-related data under all 

of the applicable Clean Air Act 

programs. The first notice for the 

renewal of this collection sought to add 

the following new reporting 

requirements: Addition of the subpart 

identifier in the air program record, 

addition of the pollutant code to stack 

test actions, addition of the High 

Priority Violator (HPV) ‘‘Violation 

Discovered’’ activity and date, addition 

of the HPV violation type code and 

violating pollutants, revised reporting 

frequency for state/local agencies from 

quarterly to 30 days, reporting all Partial 

Compliance Evaluations (PCEs), and the 

reporting of Permit Program Data 

Elements (PPDEs). 

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 are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 18,468 hours per 

response (six responses per year for a 

state/local agency). 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; 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: State, 

local or tribal government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

93. 

Frequency of Response: Six times per 

year. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

110,809 hours. 

Estimated Total Capital Annual Costs:

$3,699,481, which includes $0 

annualized capital/startup costs, $0 

annual O&M costs, and $3,699,481 

annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 25,313 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase was attributable 

to several new data elements added to 

the new Minimum Data Requirements 

(MDRs) in this renewal ICR, with an 

adjustment to the baseline count of 

hours. The new MDRs will not be 

effective until October 1, 2005.
