    Abstract: EPA promulgated Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) under 
the Clean Air Act for Indian reservations located in Idaho, Oregon, and 
Washington in 40 CFR part 49 (70 FR 18074, April 8, 2005). The FIPs in 
the final rule, also referred to as the Federal Air Rules for Indian 
Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (FARR), include 
information collection requirements associated with the fugitive 
particulate matter rule in Sec.  49.126, the woodwaste burner rule in 
Sec.  49.127; the rule for limiting sulfur in fuels in Sec.  49.130; 
the rule for open burning in Sec.  49.131; the rules for general open 
burning permits, agricultural burning permits, and forestry and 
silvicultural burning permits in Sec. Sec.  49.132, 49.133, and 49.134; 
the registration rule in Sec.  49.138; and the rule for non-Title V 
operating permits in Sec.  49.139. EPA uses this information to manage 
the activities and sources of air pollution on the Indian reservations 
in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. EPA believes these information 
collection requirements are appropriate because they will enable EPA to 
develop and maintain accurate records of air pollution sources and 
their emissions, track emissions trends and changes, identify potential 
air quality problems, allow EPA to issue permits or approvals, and 
ensure appropriate records are available to verify compliance with 
these FIPs. The information collection requirements listed above are 
all mandatory. Regulated entities can assert claims of business 
confidentiality and EPA will address these claims in accordance with 
the provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action include owners and operators of emission sources in all 
industry groups and tribal, federal, and local governments, located on 
the identified Indian reservations.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,681.
    Frequency of Response: Annual and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 5,069. Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $330,752. This includes an estimated 
labor cost of $330,752, and no capital investment and operation and 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 1,176 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is the result of a number of 
changes. It reflects adjustments to the burden estimates for this 
collection using consultation input, historical data, and experience 
with implementing the FARR. Some components of the burden estimates 
increased and some components decreased. In most cases, the burden 
estimates decreased based on input from the source consultations. For 
some provisions the estimates of the number of respondents decreased. 
Some estimates changed based on additional information EPA has gained 
through implementing the rules.
