    Title: Federal Implementation Plans under the Clean Air Act for 
Indian Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (Renewal).
    ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2020.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0558.
    ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011. 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, and 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: 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,

[[Page 20663]]

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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3 
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: 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.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,694.
    Frequency of Response: Annually and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 6,245.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $396,245. This includes an estimated 
labor cost of $396,245. Capital investment and operation and 
maintenance costs are assumed to be zero.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 1,956 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase 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 increased based on input from the source consultations. For 
some provisions the estimates of the number of respondents increased. 
Some estimates changed based on additional information EPA has gained 
through implementing the rules.
