Abstract: Air Stationary Source Compliance and Enforcement
Information Reporting is an activity whereby State, Local, Tribal,
Territorial, and Commonwealth governments (hereafter referred to as
``delegated agencies'') report air stationary source compliance and
enforcement information to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(the EPA or the Agency) on a regular basis. The information is provided
to the EPA via input to the Integrated Compliance Information System
(ICIS). ICIS contains compliance and enforcement information on
thousands of facilities regulated under numerous federal statutes
including the Clean Water Act--National Pollutant Discharge and
Elimination System (NPDES) program. The modules within ICIS that are
used to report air-related data are collectively referred to as ICIS-
Air. Agencies receive delegation of the CAA through regulated grant
authorities and report compliance/enforcement activities undertaken at
stationary sources pursuant to the minimum data requirements as
outlined in this ICR. The majority of delegated agencies maintain their
own data system and extract data from it and report it to ICIS-Air
using either electronic data transfer (EDT) or manually (``direct
entry''). A small number of delegated agencies use ICIS-Air exclusively
since they have no internal air compliance and enforcement database.
The information provided to the EPA includes source information,
compliance monitoring activities, violation determinations, and
enforcement activities. The EPA uses this information and information
from other data systems such as the Compliance and Emissions Data
Interface (CEDRI) to assess the health of the compliance and
enforcement program established under the Clean Air Act (CAA), to
perform oversight activities of delegated agencies, and to provide
public transparency about activities and findings related to compliance
and enforcement at individual facilities or aggregated categories of
facilities. The EPA also uses ICIS-Air to record comparable federal
activities to support program management and transparency.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: State, Local, Tribal, Territorial,
and Commonwealth governments.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (section 114(a)(1) of
the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7414(a)(1)).
Estimated number of respondents: 117 (total).
Frequency of response: Every 60 days.
Total estimated burden: 33,400 hours.
Estimated annual cost: $1,770,000. There are no annualized capital/
startup or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: There is decrease of 18,013 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. The decrease is largely a result of respondents no
longer transitioning from the AFS system to the ICIS-Air system, an
activity that was included in the previously approved burden level of
51,413 hours. Additionally, many agencies now use a more efficient EDT
submission method, which also reduces the annual burden.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
