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.
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).
