Abstract: In 2005, the EPA promulgated Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) for Indian reservations located in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The FIPs, also referred to as Federal Air Rules for Reservations (FARR), include basic air quality regulations to protect health and welfare on Indian reservations located in the Northwest. These rules are implemented by EPA Region 10 and delegated to Tribes. EPA Region 10 is proposing revisions to the FARR, including clarifying aspects of the initial rules; removing an exemption to the limiting visible emissions rule for smudge pots and adding new rules for residential solid fuel heating devices and woodstove curtailment; splitting the rule for general open burning permits into a large open burn and two small open burn permit options; removing provisions that have been superseded by provisions of the Tribal New Source Review (NSR) rule; and moving to online registration of air pollution sources and emissions reporting. In addition, EPA Region 10 is promulgating three new FIPs implementing the FARR on the Snoqualmie Indian Reservation, the Cowlitz Indian Reservation, and the lands held in trust for the Samish Indian Nation. These revisions also clarify that the FARR applies to lands held in trust for a Tribe that has not been formally designated as a reservation.

Short Statement: The burden figures recorded in this ICR represent the marginal increases anticipated for the provisions in the proposed rule. The annual respondent burden estimate for the full collection (the base collection - see Control Number 2060-0558; EPA ID # 2020.09 - as well as the incremental modifications described in this ICR) is 5,354.5 hours compared to the previously approved estimate of 3,601, an increase of 1,753.5 hours. The increase in the burden estimate for this collection is based on a combination of the addition of sources on the Cowlitz and Snoqualmie Reservations and lands held in trust for the Samish Indian Nation as well as lands held in trust for all other Tribes covered by the FARR, incorporation of new additional rules, application of existing additional rules 49.132 and 49.133 on the Yakama Nation Reservation, input from source consultations on typical burden, and information learned about the source universe through implementing the rules. Some components of the burden estimate decreased and some increased, resulting overall in an estimate that is about 49 percent higher than the previous estimate. The average annual number of responses estimated for the revised FARR is 2,731.3 compared to the previous estimate of 2,052, an increase of 679.3 responses. These changes also provide greater benefits by applying these environmental programs on 2 new formal Reservations as well as lands held in trust for all other Tribes covered by the FARR.
