In 2005, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Federal Implementation Plans
(FIPs) under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) for Indian
reservations located in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The FIPs
include basic air quality regulations to protect health and welfare
on Indian reservations located in the Pacific Northwest. These
rules are implemented by EPA and delegated to Tribes. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approved an Information Collection
Request (ICR) titled Federal Implementation Plans Under the Clean
Air Act for Indian Reservations in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, on
November 16, 2004, and approved renewals on May 23, 2008, August 3,
2011, March 16, 2015, and August 31, 2018. This ICR is a renewal of
the August 2018 ICR and presents updated burden estimates for
respondents to comply with various FIP provisions required by 40
CFR Part 49, Subpart M Implementation Plans for Tribes in Region
10.
The total annual burden
estimate for this rule is 3,601 hours compared to the previously
approved estimate of 4,215, a difference of 614 hours. This
decrease in the burden estimate for this collection is based on
input from source consultations, supersedence of the provisions of
one rule (49.139), and information we have learned about the source
universe through implementing the rules. Some components of the
burden estimate decreased and some components increased (but by a
lesser amount overall), resulting in an estimate that is lower than
the previous estimate. The decreases were primarily associated with
a decrease in the burden estimate for collecting and maintaining
fuel sulfur records under the sulfur content of fuels rule
(49.130), and a decrease in the number of non-title V operating
permits under the operating permits rule (49.139).
