Abstract:
This Information Collection Request (ICR) includes ambient air monitoring data reporting and recordkeeping activities associated with the 40 CFR part 58 Ambient Air Quality Surveillance regulations. These data and information are collected by State, local, and Tribal air quality management agencies and reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This ICR revises the most recent ICR for 40 CFR part 58 approved by OMB (OMB #2060-0084) to present an estimate of the change to the total annual reporting and recordkeeping hour and cost burden resulting from the proposed rule revising the Carbon Monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)requirements. This rule makes revisions to the network design requirements, QA requirements, and the minimum sampling frequency. These changes were made to ensure adequate CO monitoring will be performed to determine compliance with the proposed CO NAAQS. The burden estimates are for the 3-year period from 2012 through 2014.
