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

information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The EPA promulgated the Air Emissions Reporting 
Requirements (AERR) (40 CFR part 51, subpart A) to coordinate emissions 
inventory reporting requirements with existing requirements of the 
Clean Air Act and 1990 Amendments. Under this reporting, 55 state and 
territorial air quality agencies, including the District of Columbia, 
as well as an estimated 20 local air quality agencies, must submit 
emissions data every 3 years for all point, non-point, on-road mobile, 
and non-road mobile sources of volatile organic compounds, oxides of 
nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter less than 
or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter, particulate matter less than or 
equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter, ammonia, and lead. In addition, 
the air quality agencies must submit annually emission data for point 
sources with the potential to emit at greater than specified levels of 
those pollutants.
    The data supplied to the emission reporting requirement is needed 
so that the EPA can compile and make available a national inventory of 
air pollutant emissions. A comprehensive inventory updated at regular 
intervals is essential to allow the EPA to fulfill its mandate to 
monitor and plan for the attainment and maintenance of the national 
ambient air quality standards established for criteria pollutants.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: State, territorial and local 
government air quality managements programs. Tribal governments are not 
affected unless they have sought and obtained treatment as state status 
under the Tribal Authority Rule and on that basis, are authorized to 
implement and enforce the AERR rule.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under 23 U.S.C. 101; 
42 U.S.C 7401-7671q, and the authority of the AERR.
    Estimated number of respondents: 75 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 47,248 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,513,390 (per year), includes $225,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: Change in hours/cost is due to the 
reduction of the total estimated respondents from the ICR currently 
approved by OMB.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
