Abstract: Air Stationary Source Compliance and Enforcement Information Reporting is an activity whereby State, Local, Native American, 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 Clean Air Act (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 to assess the health of the compliance and enforcement program established under the CAA. The EPA also uses ICIS-Air to record comparable federal activities.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in the estimated burden for this ICR Renewal (33,400 hours) compared to the agency's previous estimate (26,100 hours). However, this is still a decrease from the OMB-approved burden estimate of 51,413 hours. The decrease from the burden estimates most recently approved by OMB is due to the fact that respondents are no longer transitioning from the AFS system to the ICIS-Air system, and the previous estimate of 51,413 included burden for the transition. Additionally, many agencies now use a more efficient EDT submission method, which also reduces the annual burden. The slight increase in burden for this ICR renewal (33,400 hours) compared to the agency's previous estimate (26,100 hours) is due to an increase in the number of respondents, a correction to the estimated average hours per response based on consultations conducted with respondents in 2022, and the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses the most recent labor rates from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2022 General Schedule.
