Abstract: This information collection is an application from state, local, or tribal agencies (S/L/Ts) for delegation of regulations developed under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The five options for delegation are straight delegation, rule adjustment, rule substitution, equivalency by permit, or state program approval. The information is needed and used to determine if the entity submitting an application has met the criteria established in 40 CFR part 63, subpart E. This information is necessary for the EPA Administrator to determine the acceptability of approving S/L/T's rules, requirements or programs in lieu of the federal section 112 rules or programs. The collection of information is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are S/L/Ts participating in this voluntary program. These government establishments are classified as Air and Water Resource and Solid Waste Management Programs under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 9511 and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 92411. No industries under any SIC or NAICS codes will be included among respondents.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents: 119 S/L/Ts for maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards and 95 S/L/Ts for area source standards per year.
Frequency of response: One time per delegation request.
Total estimated burden: 29,489 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
Total estimated cost: $1,502,300, which includes $2,300 for operation and maintenance costs resulting from photocopying and postage expenses.
Changes in Estimates: This is a decrease of 7,618 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to: (1) Decrease in the number of MACT standard promulgations compared to last period, (2) a decrease in the number of area source standard promulgations compared to last period and (3) a decrease in the number of S/L/Ts taking area source delegation compared to last period.
