Abstract: 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 §49.122; the rule for limiting visible emissions at §49.124; fugitive particulate matter rule in §49.126, the wood waste burner rule in §49.127; the rule for limiting sulfur in fuels in §49.130; the rule for open burning in §49.131; the rules for general open burning permits, agricultural burning permits, and forestry and silvicultural burning permits in §§49.132, 49.133, and 49.134; the rule for emissions detrimental to human health and welfare in §49.135; the registration rule in §49.138; and the rule for non-Title V operating permits in §49.139. EPA uses this information to manage the activities and sources of air pollution on the Indian reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. These information collection requirements enable EPA to develop and maintain accurate records of air pollution sources and their emissions, track emissions trends and changes, identify potential air quality problems, allow EPA to issue permits or approvals, and ensure appropriate records are available to verify compliance with these FIPs. Regulated entities can assert claims of business confidentiality and EPA will address these claims in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 2, subpart B.

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in the burden estimate for this collection is an adjustment based on input from source consultations, supersedence of the provisions of one rule (49.139), and information we have learned about the source universe through implementing the rules. Some components of the burden estimate decreased and some components increased (but by a lesser amount overall), resulting in an estimate that is lower than the previous estimate. The decreases were primarily associated with a decrease in the burden estimate for future delegations under the delegation rule (49.122), and an estimate that no additional sources will voluntarily apply for a non-Title V operating permit under the operating permits rule (49.139).

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $738,747
