    Abstract: This information collection is an application from state, 
local, or tribal agencies (S/L/Ts) for delegation of regulations 
developed under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The five options for 
delegation are straight delegation, rule adjustment, rule substitution, 
equivalency by permit, or state program approval. The information is 
needed and used to determine if the entity submitting an application 
has met the criteria established in 40 CFR part 63, subpart E. This 
information is necessary for the EPA Administrator to determine the 
acceptability of approving S/L/T's rules, requirements or programs in 
lieu of the federal section 112 rules or programs. The collection of 
information is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are S/L/Ts participating in this voluntary program. These 
government establishments are classified as Air and Water Resource and 
Solid Waste Management Programs under Standard Industrial 
Classification (SIC) code 9511 and North American Industry 
Classification System (NAICS) code 92411. No industries under any SIC 
or NAICS codes will be included among respondents.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 119 S/L/Ts for maximum achievable 
control technology (MACT) standards and 95 S/L/Ts for area source 
standards per year.
    Frequency of response: One time per delegation request.
    Total estimated burden: 29,489 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: $1,502,300, which includes $2,300 for 
operation and maintenance costs resulting from photocopying and postage 
expenses.
    Changes in Estimates: This is a decrease of 7,618 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to: (1) Decrease in the number of 
MACT standard promulgations compared to last period, (2) a decrease in 
the number of area source standard promulgations compared to last 
period and (3) a decrease in the number of S/L/Ts taking area source 
delegation compared to last period.
