In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved through December 2014. As EPA notes in the supporting statement, this collection is associated with a final rulemaking that carries a January 2015 compliance date. The current approval request does not contemplate changes that will be required in January 2015. Upon resubmission, it is recommended the agency carefully account for changes as required in this final rule and include the published final rule as a supplemental document for the collection.

This Information Collection Request (ICR) includes ambient air monitoring data reporting and recordkeeping activities associated with the 40 CFR part 58 Ambient Air Quality Surveillance regulations. These data and information are collected by State, local, and Tribal air quality management agencies and reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This ICR revises the most recent ICR for 40 CFR part 58 approved by OMB to present an estimate of the change to the total annual reporting and recordkeeping hour and cost burden resulting from the final rule revising the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the CO ambient air monitoring requirements. This rule makes revisions to the network design requirements, QA requirements, and the minimum sampling frequency. These changes were made to ensure adequate CO monitoring will be performed to determine compliance with the final CO NAAQS. The burden estimates are for the 3-year period from 2012 through 2014. Monitoring revisions associated with this final rule are not required to be operational until Jan 2015 and Jan 2017, therefore there is no change in burden for this ICR period. The burden estimates in this ICR do not match those in the FEDERAL REGISTER notice due to an error that was discovered after the final rule was signed by the EPA Administrator. This ICR contains the corrected burden estimates.
