    Abstract: Air Stationary Source Compliance and Enforcement 
Information Reporting is an activity whereby State, Local, Native 
American, Territorial, and Commonwealth governments (hereafter referred 
to as either ``states/locals'' or ``state and local agencies'') make 
air stationary source compliance and enforcement information available 
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) on a 
cyclic basis via input to the Air component of the Integrated 
Compliance Information System (ICIS-Air).
    ICIS-Air supports EPA and state and local agency efforts to ensure 
compliance with the nation's environmental laws pertaining to air, via 
the collection and management of important Clean Air Act (CAA or the 
``Act'') compliance and enforcement information. ICIS-Air is a sub-
component of ICIS, which provides compliance and enforcement 
information on thousands of facilities regulated under numerous federal 
statutes. The information provided to EPA via ICIS-Air includes source 
information, compliance monitoring activities, violation 
determinations, and enforcement activities. EPA will use this 
information to assess the health of the compliance and enforcement 
program established under the CAA, and to protect and maintain air 
quality, public health, and the environment. Agencies receive 
delegation of the CAA through regulated grant authorities, and report 
compliance/enforcement activities undertaken at stationary sources 
pursuant to the Minimum Data Requirements (MDRs) as outlined in this 
ICR. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S. 
C Section 7414(a)(1) provide the broad authority for the reporting of 
compliance monitoring and enforcement information, along with Subpart 
Q-Reports in 40 CFR 51: Sections 51.324(a) and (b), and 51.327. This 
renewal requires the continuation of reporting of previously 
established MDRs via either direct, on-line entry or electronic data 
transfer (EDT) to ICIS-Air.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: State, Local, Territorial, Indian 
Nations, and Commonwealth governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, see Section 
114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S. C Section 7414(a)(1).
    Estimated number of respondents: 99 (total).
    Frequency of response: Every 60 days.
    Total estimated burden: 26,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,280,000 (per year). There are no 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 25,313 hours 
compared to the currently approved ICR. The currently approved ICR 
includes burden for the use of ICIS-Air as well as the transition from 
the AFS to the ICIS-Air

system. Additionally, the prior renewal relied on a time-study and 
limited consultations for burden. In this renewal, there is no change 
in the number of respondents or the number of responses from the prior 
ICR. The decrease in respondent burden occurred as a result of 
adjustments to the burden required for the gathering, review, quality 
assurance, and upload or submittal of data to ICIS-Air and any 
additional trainings, calls, or upkeep activities. This ICR includes no 
burden associated with AFS or the transition to ICIS-Air.
