SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a proposed extension of the ICR,
which is currently approved through November 30, 2026. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
This document allows 60 days for public comments. Supporting
documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be
collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket
can be viewed online at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> or in person at EPA
Region 10, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 155, Seattle, WA 98101. The main
telephone number for EPA Region 10 is (206) 553-1200. For additional
information about the EPA's public docket, visit <a href="https://www.epa.gov/dockets">https://www.epa.gov/dockets</a>.
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act,
the EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: (i)
evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate forms of information technology. The EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal Register
document to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: The EPA promulgated Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs)
under the Clean Air Act for Indian reservations located in Idaho,
Oregon, and Washington in 40 CFR part 49 (70 FR 18074, April 8, 2005).
The FIPs in the final rule, also referred to as the Federal Air Rules
for Indian Reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (FARR),
include information collection requirements associated with the partial
delegation of administrative authority to a Tribe in 40 CFR 49.122; the
rule for limiting visible emissions at 40 CFR 49.124; fugitive
particulate matter rule in 40 CFR 49.126; the rule for limiting sulfur
in fuels in 40 CFR 49.130; the rule for open burning in 40 CFR 49.131;
the rules for general open burning permits, agricultural burning
permits, and forestry and silvicultural burning permits in 40 CFR
49.132, 49.133, and 49.134; the rule for emissions detrimental to human
health and welfare in 40 CFR 49.135; the registration rule in 40 CFR
49.138; and the rule for non-title V operating permits in 40 CFR
49.139. The EPA uses this information to manage the activities and
sources of air pollution on the Indian reservations in Idaho, Oregon,
and Washington. The EPA believes these information collection
requirements are appropriate because they will enable the EPA to
develop and maintain accurate records of air pollution sources and
their emissions, allow the EPA to issue permits or approvals, and
ensure appropriate records are available to verify compliance with
these FIPs. The information collection requirements listed in this
document are all mandatory. Regulated entities can assert claims of
business confidentiality and the EPA will address these claims in
accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.

at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $395,412 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 433 hours in the
