Assessments'' (EPA ICR No. 2470.02, OMB Control No. 2050-0211) to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. 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 November 30, 2018. 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.

SFUND-2012-0578 online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred

email address: Shewack.robert@epa.gov.

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 person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. 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 the usage of TANAs with members of the 
impacted community in order to determine how the community is receiving 
technical information about a Superfund remedial or removal site; 
whether the community requires additional assistance in order to 
understand and respond to site-related technical information; and 
whether there are organizations in the community that are interested or 
involved in site-related issues and capable of acting as an appropriate 
conduit for technical assistance services to the affected community. 
Given the specific nature of the TANA, 8 to 10 persons will be 
interviewed per site, with an estimated total of 80 persons being 
interviewed per year (8 sites). Responses to the collection of 
information are voluntary and the names of respondents will be 
protected by the Privacy Act. The TANA will help ensure the community's 
needs for technical information assistance are defined as early in the 
remedial/removal process as possible and enable meaningful community 
involvement in the Superfund decision-making process. Additionally, the 
TANA process produces a blueprint for designing a coordinated effort to 
meet the community's needs for additional technical assistance while 
minimizing the overlap of services provided.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Respondents to this ICR are local/
state government officials, potentially-responsible party (PRP) 
representatives, community organizations, businesses and individuals 
who may be impacted by a Superfund site or a removal action lasting 120 
days or longer. These community members voluntarily participate in 
community involvement activities throughout the remedial phase of the 
Superfund process. SIC Codes are OSHA's Standard Industrial 
Classification System used to identify different groups. Local/state 
governments are categorized as Division J: Public Administration, Major 
Group 95: Administration of Environmental Quality, subgroup 9511: Air 
and Water Resource and Solid Waste Management. The other respondents, 
community members, do not have a SIC Code as they do not constitute an 
industry.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 80 (per year).
    Frequency of response: Once during the remediation of the Site. 
Each TANA interview is expected to last approximately one hour in 
duration.
    Total estimated burden: 80 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,860 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: A reduction in the total estimated respondent 
burden is expected when compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB.
