OMB Approval Numbers Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 9

[FRL-5211-8]

OMB Approval Numbers Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this

technical amendment amends the table in 40 CFR part 9 that displays the

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers issued under the

PRA. This technical amendment amends the table of OMB control numbers

to include the OMB control number for the information collection

requirements in the rule entitled ``Mandatory Patent Licenses Under

Section 308 of the Clean Air Act.''

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective June 29, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas Eagles, Office of Policy Analysis and Review (Mail Code 6103),

Office of Air and Radiation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401

M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460. Telephone: (202) 260-5585.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is today amending the table of currently

approved information collection request (ICR) control numbers issued by

OMB for various EPA regulations. Today's amendment updates the table to

display accurately the information requirements promulgated under the

rule entitled ``Mandatory Patent Licenses Under Section 308 of the

Clean Air Act'' which appeared in the Federal Register on December 30,

1994 (59 FR 67636-9). The affected regulation is codified at 40 CFR

part 95.

EPA will continue to present OMB control numbers in a consolidated

table format to be codified in 40 CFR part 9 of the Agency's

regulations. The table lists the CFR section numbers with reporting and

recordkeeping requirements, and the current OMB control numbers. This

display of the OMB control numbers and its subsequent codification in

the Code of Federal Regulations satisfies the requirements of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and OMB's implementing

regulations at 5 CFR 1320.

A final rule entitled ``Mandatory Patent Licenses Under Section 308

of the Clean Air Act'' was published in the Federal Register on

December 30, 1994. Notice of the ICR for this rule was previously

published for comment on August 29, 1994 (59 FR 44392). OMB approved

the ICR on October 3, 1994. The OMB approval of the ICR and the

associated OMB control number were published in the Federal Register on

December 30, 1994 (59 FR 67637). As a result, EPA finds that there is

``good cause'' under section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure

Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B)) to amend the table of OMB control numbers

without prior notice and comment. Due to the technical nature of the

table, further notice and comment would be unnecessary.
