Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 221 / Friday, November 17, 2017 / Notices

Francisco, CA 94105–3901; (415) 947–
4151 or [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
the EPA.
Today’s notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. The EPA sent a letter to
CARB on October 19, 2017 stating that
the motor vehicle emissions budgets in
the submitted 2016 San Diego Ozone
Plan for the RFP milestone year 2017 are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes.1 We announced availability of
the plan and related budgets on the
EPA’s transportation conformity Web
site on July 20, 2017, requesting
comments by August 21, 2017. We
received no comments in response to
the adequacy review posting. The
finding is available at the EPA’s
conformity Web site: https://
www.epa.gov/state-and-localtransportation/state-implementationplans-sip-submissions-epa-has-foundadequate-or. The adequate motor
vehicle emissions budgets are provided
in the following table:

ADEQUATE MOTOR VEHICLE
EMISSIONS BUDGETS

information in these resources in
making our adequacy determination.3
Please note that an adequacy review is
separate from the EPA’s completeness
review and should not be used to
prejudge the EPA’s ultimate action on
the SIP. Even if we find a budget
adequate, the SIP could later be
disapproved.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e), within
2 years of the effective date of this
notice, SANDAG and the U.S.
Department of Transportation will need
to demonstrate conformity to the new
budgets if the demonstration has not
already been made.4 For demonstrating
conformity to the budgets in this plan,
the on-road motor vehicle emissions
from implementation of the
transportation plan or program should
be projected consistently with the
budgets in this plan, i.e., by taking the
county’s emissions results derived from
CARB’s EMFAC model (short for
EMission FACtor) and then rounding
the emissions up to the nearest ton.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
Dated: October 25, 2017.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.

Transportation conformity is required
by Clean Air Act section 176(c). The
EPA’s conformity rule requires that
transportation plans, transportation
improvement programs, and
transportation projects conform to a
state’s air quality SIP and establishes the
criteria and procedures for determining
whether or not they conform.
Conformity to a SIP means that
transportation activities will not
produce new air quality violations,
worsen existing violations, or delay
timely attainment of the NAAQS.
The criteria we use to determine
whether a SIP’s motor vehicle emission
budgets are adequate for conformity
purposes are outlined in 40 CFR
93.118(e)(4), promulgated on August 15,
1997.2 We have further described our
process for determining the adequacy of
submitted SIP budgets in our final rule
dated July 1, 2004, and we used the

Director, Air Division, EPA Region IX, to Richard

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
government’s commitment to improving
service delivery. By qualitative feedback
we mean information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and
opinions, but are not statistical surveys
that yield quantitative results that can
be generalized to the population of
study. This feedback will provide
insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences and
expectations, provide an early warning
of issues with service, or focus attention
on areas where communication, training
or changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services. These
collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative and actionable
communications between the Agency
and its customers and stakeholders. It
will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic

mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
No comments were received by the
agency in response to the 60-day notice
published in the Federal Register of
December 22, 2010 (75 FR 80542).
Below we provide EEOC’s projected
average estimates for the next three
years:
Current Actions: New collection of
information.
Type of Review: New collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, businesses and
organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 5.
Respondents: 8,020.
Annual Responses: 11,020.
Frequency of Response: Once per
respondent for four activities, twice per
respondent for one activity.
Average Minutes per Response: 6.5.
Burden Hours: 1194.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.
For the Commission.
Dated: November 9, 2017.

Acting Chair.
