    Abstract: The Clean Air Act (CAA) contains several provisions 
directing the EPA to require source owners to conduct monitoring to 
support certification as to their status of compliance with applicable 
requirements. These provisions are set forth in section 504 and section 
114 of the CAA. Under CAA section 504(c), each operating permit must 
``set forth inspection, entry, monitoring, compliance, certification 
and reporting requirements to assure compliance with the permit terms 
and conditions.'' See also CAA section 504(a) (each permit shall 
require reporting of monitoring and such other conditions as are 
necessary to assure compliance). CAA section 504(b) allows us to 
prescribe by rule, methods and procedures for determining compliance 
recognizing that continuous emissions monitoring systems need not be 
required if other procedures or methods provide sufficiently reliable 
and timely information for determining compliance. Section 114(a)(1) of 
the CAA provides additional authority concerning monitoring, reporting, 
and recordkeeping requirements. This section provides the Administrator 
with the authority to require any owner operator of a source to install 
and to operate monitoring systems and to record the resulting 
monitoring data. We promulgated the Compliance Assurance Monitoring 
rule, 40 CFR part 64, on October 22, 1997 (62 FR 54900), pursuant to 
these provisions. In accordance with CAA section 114(c) and CAA section 
503(e), the monitoring information source owners must submit must also 
be available to the public except under circumstances set forth in 
section 114(c) of the CAA. 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. The OMB control 
numbers for the EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are all facilities required to have an operating permit 
under Title V of the CAA. See section 502(a) of the CAA, which defines 
the sources required to obtain a Title V permit. See also 40 CFR 70.2 
and 71.2.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under Title V of the 
CAA. See section 502(a) of the CAA, which defines the sources required 
to obtain a Title V permit. See also 40 CFR 70.2 and 71.2.
    Estimated number of respondents: There are 24,121 pollutant 
specific emission units (PSEUs), where the number of respondents is the 
number of PSEUs subject to the compliance assurance monitoring rule, 
and 116 permitting authorities. Therefore, the

[[Page 15706]]

estimated number of respondents is 24,237 (total).
    Frequency of response: At least every 6 months per Title V, 
70.6(a)(3)(iii)(A) and (B).
    Total estimated burden: 51,080 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,998,453 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 607 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to adjustments to the estimates 
(e.g., to account for permit issuance increases). There is an increase 
of 1,114 respondents in the average annual number of respondents. This 
increase is due to an increased number of permitting authorities (four 
more) and to an estimated increase in the number of PSEUs (1,110 more).
