    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 needs 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 are expected be 
interviewed per site, with an estimated total of 250 persons being 
interviewed per year (25 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 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: Local/state government officials and 
individual community members 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.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 250 (total).
    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: 250 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $5,812 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.

[[Page 60852]]

    Changes in the estimates: No change in the total estimated 
respondent burden is expected when compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB.
