This ICR will provide for the
submission by States to EPA of supplemental information where
necessary to complete program development activities under Section
6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990
(CZARA).
There is a decrease of 125
hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is the result of
progress that States which are not yet unconditionally approved
have made that have resulted in the reduction in the number of
conditions imposed on them by EPA and NOAA, offset by the addition
of a new State coastal nonpoint program (Illinois), as well as the
sunsetting of one State program in 2011 (Alaska).
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.
