Before
resubmission of this ICR for renewal, the Agency should again
conduct consultations to update estimates of burden associated with
the diverse activities covered in this information collection. In
particular, it would be helpful to get an updated assessment of the
burden associated with Tribal Delegation requirements and General
Open Burning permits.

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 partial delegation of administrative authority
to a Tribe rule in § 49.122; the visible emissions rule in §
49.124; the fugitive particulate matter rule in § 49.126; the
woodwaste burners rule in § 49.127; the rule for limiting sulfur in
fuels in § 49.130; the rule for open burning in § 49.131; the rules
for general open burning permits, agricultural burning permits, and
forestry and silvicultural burning permits in §§ 49.132, 49.133,
and 49.134; the emissions detrimental to human health or welfare
rule in § 49.135; the registration rule in § 49.138; and the rule
for non-Title V operating permits in § 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, 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. Entities potentially affected by this action include
owners and operators of emission sources in all industry groups and
tribal, federal, and local governments, located in the identified
Indian reservations.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
