    Title: Compliance Assistance Measures of Success Reporting Form. 
(EPA ICR #1758.01 and OMB #2060-xxxx.)
    Abstract: This ICR is for a new information collection in support 
of the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance's (OECA) efforts 
to evaluate their compliance program through use of performance 
measures. This information will be collected on the performance of 
compliance assistance programs, other than those operating under 
section 507 of the Clean Air Act for which there is a separate ICR in 
use. The information will be collected so that EPA can better 
understand the effectiveness of compliance assistance programs vis a 
vis enforcement programs and so that success stories can be shared 
between programs. Under this Information Collection Request (ICR), 
State compliance assistance programs other than those operated under 
Section 507 of the CAA, will be responsible for reporting to EPA and 
associated recordkeeping.
    State compliance assistance programs will be responsible for 
reporting: (1) Name of State or Regional program; (2) program 
utilization; (3) program effectiveness-improved understanding or 
environmental requirements, behavioral changes, changes in compliance 
rates and environmental improvements; and (4) data based on industry or 
population type.
    State compliance assistance programs will be responsible for 
recording all applicable information pertaining to the reporting 
requirements.
    Burden Statement: The total annual public reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to 
be 2650 hours, for an average of 25 hours per respondent. This includes 
time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, 
gathering the data needed, completing the collection information and 
maintaining records.
    Respondents: State Compliance Assistance Programs.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 106.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 2650 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: Annually.

this information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, (please refer to EPA ICR 1758.01 and #2060-xxxx) to:
