Abstract: This ICR is a renewal of the previously approved UST Finder ICR (No. 2696.01; OMB No. 2080-0086) to update the UST Finder application on a semiannual basis. To successfully maintain and improve the data quality and usability of UST Finder, the Agency seeks to continue gathering, on a voluntary basis, location and other relevant data about USTs and LUSTs that is currently collected and managed by states and territories. The application may be used for many purposes, such as helping regulators, owners, and operators in decision-making; prioritizing site cleanups or inspections; triaging risk; and identifying sites that may be more likely to have a release based on UST age and substance stored. The application may also be used by emergency response personnel to protect UST facilities from extreme weather events. After disasters, the UST Finder can be used to rapidly identify LUST site cleanups impacted by natural disasters and assist in restarting cleanups after these events.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease of 2481 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to the following factors. Under this ICR, most respondents have previously submitted data and will not require any time to set up their data delivery option. Thus, they will only incur a burden to submit the semi-annual data updates unless they choose to set up a new option. The last information collection was conducted prior to the first round of data collection for UST Finder, so the burden calculated in the previous ICR were based on estimates for respondents who had not yet submitted data. This uncertainty led to overestimated burden. EPA estimates the burden calculations in this ICR based on hours estimates provided by state agencies in the consultations conducted by EPA. Some of the responses indicated that the data set-up and semiannual update burden estimates were lower than previous estimates due to respondents’ increased familiarity with the requirements of the data collection. The previous ICR considered subcontractor labor hours as part of the annual burden; however, this ICR considers subcontractor labor as a one-time capital cost to set up data delivery options.
