This Information Collection Request (ICR) seeks authorization for tribes to demonstrate their eligibility to be treated in the same manner as states under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and to submit applications to implement a CAA program. This ICR extends the collection period of information for determining eligibility, which expires December 31, 2007. The ICR also is revising the estimates of burden costs for tribes in completing a CAA application. The program regulation provides for Indian tribes, if they so choose, to assume responsibility for the development and implementation of CAA programs. The regulation, Indian Tribes: Air Quality Planning and Management (Tribal Authority Rule [TAR] 40 CFR parts 9, 35,49, 50 and 81), sets forth how tribes may seek authority to implement their own air quality planning and management programs. The rule establishes: 1) which CAA provisions Indian tribes may seek authority to implement, 2) what requirements the tribes must meet when seeking such authorization, and 3) what Federal financial assistance may be available to help tribes establish and manage their air quality programs. The TAR provides tribes the authority to administer air quality programs over all air resources, including non-Indian owned fee lands, within the exterior boundaries of a reservation and other areas over which the tribe can demonstrate jurisdiction. An Indian tribe that takes responsibility for a CAA program would essentially be treated in the same way a state would be treated for that program. The TAR adopts EPA's "streamlined" eligibility review and approval process for tribes to implement CAA programs. The ICR was prepared according to the guidance contained in the Office of Information Collection (OIC) December 1996 ICR Handbook. This handbook is the Agency's most current guidance document for preparing an ICR and follows the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (4 U.S.C. section 1320) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines.
