July 31, 1996. This is a request for

extension of a currently approved

Abstract: The Environmental

Radiation Ambient Monitoring System

(ERAMS) is a national network of

stations collecting sampling media that

include air, precipitation, drinking

water, surface water, and milk. Samples

are sent to EPA’s National Air and

Radiation Environmental Laboratory

(NAREL) in Montgomery, AL, where

they are analyzed for radioactivity.

ERAMS provides emergency response

and ambient monitoring information

regarding levels of environmental

radiation across the nation. All stations,

usually manned by state and local

personnel, participate in ERAMS

voluntarily. Station operators complete

information forms that accompany the

samples. The forms request descriptive

information related to sample

collection, 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 0.37 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 verify

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:

Sample collectors, who are usually

employed by state or, in a few cases,

local government.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

313.

Frequency of Response: From twice

weekly to four times annually,

depending upon type of media being

sampled.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

9201.8 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $0.
