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: 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 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. EPA believes these information collection requirements are appropriate because they will 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. The [[Page 44178]] information collection requirements listed above are all mandatory. 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. Form Numbers: The forms associated with this ICR are: EPA Form 7630-1--Nez Perce Reservation Air Quality Permit: Agricultural Burn EPA Form 7630-2--Nez Perce Reservation Air Quality Permit: Forestry Burn EPA Form 7630-3--Nez Perce Reservation Air Quality Permit: Large Open Burn EPA Form 7630-4--Initial or Annual Source Registration EPA Form 7630-5--Report of Change of Ownership EPA Form 7630-6--Report of Closure EPA Form 7630-7--Report of Relocation EPA Form 7630-9--Non-Title V Operating Permit Application Form EPA Form 7630-10--Umatilla Indian Reservation: Agricultural Burn Permit Application EPA Form 7630-11--Umatilla Indian Reservation: Forestry Burn Permit Application EPA Form 7630-12--Umatilla Indian Reservation Large Open Burn Permit Application The forms listed above are available for review in the EPA docket.
