    Abstract: As part of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the U.S. 
Congress required that each state establish a Small Business Stationary 
Source Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Program to 
assist small business in compliance with the Act. These programs are 
generally known as Small Business Environmental Assistance Programs 
(SBEAPs). EPA's Small Business Ombudsman must oversee the overall 507 
program and be able to provide the Congress with periodical reports on 
the effectiveness, difficulties encountered and other relevant 
information about the program. Each state will submit requested 
information to EPA for compilation and summarization. This collection 
of information will assist the EPA Ombudsman with its requirement to 
monitor the effectiveness of small businesses as authorized under 
section 507(a), (d) and (e) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990, 
Public Law 101-549, November 15, 1990. Information that is collected is 
aggregated and is not of a confidential nature. None of the information 
collected by this action results in/or requests sensitive information 
of any nature from the states.
    Form Numbers: 6500-03.
    Respondents/affected entities: State and/or state appointed 
entities of the 507 program.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (section 507, parts 
(a), (d) and (e)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 53 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 2,120 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $112,106 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change of hours in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB.
