    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 Sec.  49.122; the 
rule for limiting visible emissions at Sec.  49.124; fugitive 
particulate matter rule in Sec.  49.126, the wood waste burner rule in 
Sec.  49.127; the rule for limiting sulfur in fuels in Sec.  49.130; 
the rule for open burning in Sec.  49.131; the rules for general open 
burning permits, agricultural burning permits, and forestry and 
silvicultural

[[Page 13747]]

burning permits in Sec. Sec.  49.132, 49.133, and 49.134; the rule for 
emissions detrimental to human health and welfare in Sec.  49.135; the 
registration rule in Sec.  49.138; and the rule for non-Title V 
operating permits in Sec.  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.

    Respondents/affected entities: Respondents or affected entities 
potentially affected by this action include owners and operators of 
emission sources in all industry groups and tribal governments, located 
in the identified Indian reservations. Categories and entities 
potentially affected by this action are included in the docketed 
supporting documents.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Respondents obligation to 
respond is mandatory. See 40 CFR 49.122, 49.124, 49.126, 49.130-135, 
49.138, and 49.139.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,658 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annual or on occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 4,215 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $313,301 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is a decrease of 854 hours in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB. The decrease in the burden estimate for this collection is 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 since the ICR was updated in 
2015.
