SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to submit an 
information collection request (ICR), ``Federal Implementation Plan for 
Oil and Natural Gas Well Production Facilities; Fort Berthold Indian 
Reservation (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation), North Dakota'' (EPA 
ICR No. 2478.02 OMB Control No. 2008-0001) to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et se.). Before doing so, 
EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed 
information collection as described below. This is a proposed extension 
of the ICR, which is currently approved through April 2016. An agency 
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, 
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before January 12, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-R08-OAR-
2012-0479 online using www.regulations.gov or by mail to: EPA Docket 
Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the Air Program, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, CO 80202-
1129. EPA requests that if at all possible, you contact the individual 
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to view the hard 
copy of the docket. You may view the hard copy of the docket Monday 
through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays. For 
additional information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of 
the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA 
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. 
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and 
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: This ICR covers information collection requirements in 
the final Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) for Oil and Natural Gas 
Well Production Facilities; Fort Berthold Indian Reservation (Mandan, 
Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation), North Dakota (40 CFR part 49, subpart K, 
Sec. Sec.  49.4161 through 49.4168), herein referred to as the FBIR 
FIP. In general, owners or operators are required to: (1) Conduct 
certain monitoring; (2) keep specific records to be made available at 
the EPA's request; and (3) to prepare and submit an annual report (40 
CFR part 49, subpart K, Sec. Sec.  49.4166 through 49.4168). These 
records and reports are necessary for the EPA Administrator (or the 
tribal agency

[[Page 70201]]

if delegated), for example, to: (1) Confirm compliance status of 
stationary sources; (2) identify any stationary sources not subject to 
the requirements and identify stationary sources subject to the 
regulations; and (3) ensure that the stationary source control 
requirements are being achieved. All information submitted to us 
pursuant to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for which a 
claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to the agency 
policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of oil and 
natural gas facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (42 U.S.C. 7414).
    Estimated number of respondents: 780 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion, annually.
    Total estimated burden: 29,655 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $6,503,000 (per year), includes $5,121,000 
annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is likely an increase in burden in this 
ICR compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB due to an 
anticipated adjustment in the estimated number of respondents to 
account for industry growth. In addition, there is likely an increase 
in cost in this ICR to take into account current labor rates.

Regulatory Assistance, Region 8.
