protect and maintain the atmospheric environment and the public health.

All ten EPA Regional Offices and most of the 55 State, District,

Commonwealth and territorial governments use the compliance information

in AFS on a daily basis for managing activities of their air pollution

control programs.

Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection of

information is estimated to average 224 hours per small state, 1692

hours per medium state and 1700 hours per large state annually per

response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing

data sources, gathering the data needed, completing the collection of

information, and maintaining records.

Respondents: State, District, Commonwealth, and Territorial air

pollution control agencies.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 55.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 58,686 hours.
