What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2008– 

0707. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are the state 

government agencies or departments 

responsible for oversight and operation 

of the I/M programs (SIC#91). Thirtythree states plus the District of 

Columbia will be affected by I/M 

program requirements. 

Title: Data Reporting Requirements for 

State and Local Vehicle Emission 

Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) 

Programs. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1613.03, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0252. 

ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire February 28, 2009. 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, 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: To provide general oversight 

and support to state and local I/M 

programs, the Transportation and 

Regional Programs Division (TRPD), 

Office of Transportation and Air 

Quality, Office of Air and Radiation, 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

requires that state or local program 

management for both basic and 

enhanced I/M programs collect two 

varieties of reports to EPA. The first 

reporting requirement is the submittal of 

an annual report providing general 

program operating data and summary 

statistics, addressing the program’s 

current design and coverage, a summary 

of testing data, enforcement program 

efforts, quality assurance and quality 

control efforts, and other miscellaneous 

information allowing for an assessment 

of the program’s relative effectiveness; 

the second is a biennial report on any 

changes to the program over the twoyear period and the impact of such 

changes, including any weaknesses 

discovered and corrections made or 

planned. 

General program effectiveness is 

determined by the degree to which a 

program misses, meets, or exceeds the 

emission reductions committed to in the 

state’s approved SIP, which, in turn, 

must meet or exceed the minimum 

emission reductions expected from the 

relevant performance standard, as 

promulgated under EPA’s revisions to 

40 CFR, Part 51, in response to 

requirements established in section 182 

of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 

1990 (Act). This information will be 

used by EPA to determine a program’s 

progress toward meeting requirements 

under 40 CFR, Part 51, as well as to 

assess national trends in the area of 

basic and enhanced I/M programs and 

to provide background information in 

support of periodic site visits and 

evaluations. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 85 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 34. 

Frequency of response: Annual and 

Biennial. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

85 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $4,478. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

There is no change in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. 

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

ACTION: Notice of Listening Session. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a listening 

session to be held on Friday, October

document entitled, ‘‘Toxicological 

Review of Ethylene Glycol Mono Butyl 

Ether (EGBE): In Support of Summaiy 

Information on the Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS).’’ This 

listening session is a new step in EPA’s 

revised process, announced on April 10, 

2008, for development of human health 

assessments for inclusion on IRIS. The 

purpose of the listening session is to 

allow all interested parties to present 

scientific and technical comments on 

draft IRIS health assessments to EPA

the draft assessment in response to the 

independent external peer review and 

public comments. All presentations will 

become part of the official and public 

record. 

The EPA’s draft assessment and peer 

review charge are available via the 

Internet on the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment’s (NCEA) 

home page under the Recent Additions

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

listening session is a new step in EPA’s 

revised process, announced on April 10, 

2008, for development of human health 

assessments for inclusion on IRIS. The 

new process is posted on the NCEA 

home page under the Recent Additions 

menu at http://www.epa.gov/ncea. Two 

listening sessions are scheduled under 

the new IRIS process. The first is during 

the public review of the draft 

assessment that includes only 

qualitative discussion. The second 

session is during the public review of 

the externally peer reviewed draft 

assessment; if feasible, this draft will 

include both qualitative and 

quantitation elements (i.e., a ‘‘complete 

draft’’). All IRIS assessments that are at 

the document development stage will 

follow the revised process, which 

includes the two listening sessions. 

However, when EPA initiated the new 

IRIS process, the draft assessment for 

Ethylene Glycol Mono Butyl Ether 

(EGBE) had already completed 

document development and been 

through several rounds of internal 

review. Therefore, EPA will only hold 

one listening session during the public 

review and comment period of the 

externally peer-reviewed draft.
