Abstract: Source Compliance and State Action Reporting is an activity whereby State, District, Local, and Commonwealth governments (hereafter referred to as "states/locals" or "state and local agencies") make air compliance and enforcement information available to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) on a cyclic basis via input to the Air Facility System (AFS). The information provided to EPA includes compliance activities and determinations, and enforcement activities. EPA uses this information to assess progress toward meeting emission requirements developed under the authority of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) to protect and maintain the atmospheric environment and the public health. The EPA and many of the state and local agencies access the data in AFS to assist them in the management of their air pollution control programs. This renewal information collection request (ICR) affects oversight of approximately 40,300 stationary sources by 93 state and local agencies and the Federal EPA, and is expected to require 108,433 labor hours per year and cost approximately $5,688,759 annually. State and local agency burdens and costs are estimated as 73,073 hours and approximately $3.5 million annually. On average, this burden amounts to approximately one-fourth of a full-time equivalent employee for each small state and local agency, less than one half of a full-time equivalent employee for each medium sized state and local agency and approximately one and one-quarter of a full-time equivalent employee for each large sized state and local agency for national reporting of compliance and enforcement related data under all of the applicable Clean Air Act programs.
