cooperation with Federal agencies, State 

and local governments, and federallyrecognized Indian tribes with 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 

(see final rule § 6.202); and (2) the 

public participation process associated 

with actions other than those 

categorically excluded (see final rule 

§ 6.203). When the environmental 

information is provided by the 

applicant, the Responsible Official is 

responsible for the statements, analyses, 

and conclusions of the EA or EIS and 

any supporting documents. The 

information compiled is a one-time 

submission in narrative text format (see 

final rule §§ 6.205 and 6.207) rather 

than computerized compilations of data 

and information. There are no forms, 

checklists, or ongoing reporting, 

recordkeeping or file-maintenance 

requirements for applicants. EPA 

maintains file records for each action. 

The information submitted by 

applicants would be consistent with the 

guidelines of the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) in 5 CFR 1320.6. 

There are no schedule requirements or 

requirements on the number of copies of 

the documentation to be submitted or 

requirements for ongoing reporting or 

recordkeeping or to conduct statistical 

surveys. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 123 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. 

For purposes of this ICR, the total 

annual public reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for this collection 

of information is estimated at 38,472 

hours and $3,503,245 for contractor 

hours and costs, direct labor hours and 

costs, and O&M costs. This burden 

reflects the annual submission of 

documentation for an anticipated 312 

applicant-proposed project that may be 

documented with a CE, or an EA/ 

FONSI, or an EIS/ROD. For any specific 

project, only one of these levels of 

documentation is generally prepared. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 312. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

38,472 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$3,503,245. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 9,675 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects the increasing number 

of projects that are documented with a 

categorical exclusion (CE) rather than an 

environmental assessment (EA). Under 

the current ICR, approximately 60% of 

the annual 300 grant projects were 

documented with a CE, and 40% with 

an EA. However, we estimate that out of 

the 300 annual grant projects, 75% will 

be documented with a CE and 25% will 

be documented with an EA. Annually, 

then, the burden would shift to 10,125 

hours and $3,825 for CE documentation, 

and 19,500 hours and $3,000 for EA 

documentation. With the current ICR, 

the total annual burden is 48,147 hours 

and $8,673.34. Under the renewal ICR, 

the total annual burden is 38,472 hours 

and $7,638.34. The renewal ICR reduces 

the total annual burden by 9,675 hours 

and $1,035. This reflects EPA’s 

respondents anticipated during the 3- 

year ICR renewal period and the level of 

environmental documentation EPA 

anticipates the respondents will submit. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR

Notice 

In accordance with Section 309(a) of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to 

make its comments on EISs issued by 

other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA has met this mandate 

by publishing weekly notices of 

availability of EPA comments, which 

includes a brief summary of EPA’s 

comment letters, in the Federal 

Register. Since February 2008, EPA has 

been including its comment letters on 

EISs on its Web site at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/ 

eisdata.html. Including the entire EIS 

comment letters on the Web site 

satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement 

to make EPA’s comments on EISs 

available to the public. Accordingly, 

after March 31, 2010, EPA will 

discontinue the publication of this 

notice of availability of EPA comments 

in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

EPA’s IRIS is a human health 

assessment program that evaluates 

quantitative and qualitative risk 

information on effects that may result 

from exposure to specific chemical 

substances found in the environment. 

Through the IRIS Program, EPA 

provides the highest quality sciencebased human health assessments to 

support the Agency’s regulatory 

activities. The IRIS database contains 

information for more than 540 chemical 

substances that can be used to support 

the first two steps (hazard identification 

and dose-response evaluation) of the 

risk assessment process. When 

supported by available data, IRIS 

provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and 

inhalation reference concentrations 

(RfCs) for chronic noncancer health 

effects and cancer assessments. 

Combined with specific exposure 

information, government and private 

entities use IRIS to help characterize 

public health risks of chemical 

substances in a site-specific situation 

and thereby support risk management 

decisions designed to protect public 

health. 

This data call-in is a new step in the 

IRIS process. As literature searches are 

completed, the results will be posted on 

the IRIS Web site (http://www.epa.gov/ 

iris). The public is invited to review the 

literature search results and submit 

additional information to EPA. 

Request for Public Involvement in IRIS 

Assessments 

EPA is soliciting public involvement 

in assessments on the IRIS agenda, 

including new assessments starting in 

2010. While EPA conducts a thorough 

literature search for each chemical
