                    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0041, which is available for online viewing at                     *http://www.regulations.gov,*                     or in person viewing at the Office of Air and Radiation Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

                    Use EPA's electronic docket and comment system at                     *http://www.regulations.gov*                     to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the docket, and to access those documents in the docket that are available electronically.

*Title:*                     RadNet (Renewal).                

*ICR numbers:*                     EPA ICR No. 0877.10, OMB Control No. 2060-0015.                

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2010. 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:*                     RadNet is a national network of stations collecting sampling media that include air, precipitation, drinking water, and milk. Samples are sent to EPA's National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL) in Montgomery, Alabama, where they are analyzed for radioactivity. RadNet provides emergency response/homeland security and ambient monitoring information on levels of environmental radiation across the nation. All stations, usually operated by State and local personnel, participate in RadNet voluntarily. Station operators complete information forms that accompany the samples. The forms request descriptive information pertaining to sample location,                     *e.g.,*                     sample type, sample location, length of sampling period, and volume represented.                

*Burden Statement:*                     The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average less than one hour 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:*                     All fifty States, primarily the State Public Health Departments.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     302.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     Frequency varies according to medium being sampled: Milk, quarterly; drinking water, quarterly; rain (precipitation), as events occur; and air, twice weekly.                

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     8,710.                

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $480,073 in labor costs and no capital or O&M costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is a decrease of 623 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease resulted from the installation of new air monitors, which require less time from the station operators. The new equipment was installed as a result of EPA's decision to upgrade existing air monitoring equipment.
