    Title: Air Stationary Source Compliance and Enforcement Information 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0107.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0096.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2008. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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: Source Compliance and State Action Reporting is an 
activity whereby State, District, Local, and Commonwealth governments 
make air 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 Facility System (AFS). The information provided to 
EPA includes compliance activities and determinations, and enforcement 
activities. EPA uses this information to assess progress toward meeting 
emission requirements developed under the authority of the Clean Air 
Act (CAA or the Act) to protect and maintain the atmospheric 
environment and the public health. The EPA and many of the state and 
local agencies access the data in AFS to assist them in the management 
of their air pollution control programs.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 131 
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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: State and Local Agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 93.
    Frequency of Response: 6 times per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 73,073.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $3,504,531.00, inclusive of labor 
costs, and $00.00 for both annualized capital and O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 25,110 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to: Reduction in the major 
source universe, increase in the use of the Universal Interface 
software program, significant differences in the level of effort 
provided by different agencies in the maintenance and oversight of 
data, and the reduction of startup costs from the previous ICR.
