As part of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, the US Congress included, as Section 507, the
requirement that each state establish a Small Business Stationary
Source Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Program to
assist small businesses in complying with the Act. EPA must provide
the Congress with periodic reports from the EPA Small Business
Ombudsman on these programs, including their effectiveness,
difficulties encountered, and other relevant information. Each
state assistance program will submit requested information to EPA
for compilation and summarization on an annual basis.
The addition of the new program
outcome measures, as recommended by state 507 program
representatives, accounts for an additional burden estimate of 26
hours per response. This estimate is based on an additional 2 hours
per month to track and collect data and an additional 2 hours for
the preparation of the annual form.
