This Information Collection Request (ICR) includes ambient air monitoring data reporting and recordkeeping activities associated with the 40 CFR part 58 Ambient Air Quality Surveillance regulations. These data and information are collected by State, local, and Tribal air quality management agencies and reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This ICR revises the most recent ICR for 40 CFR part 58 approved by OMB to present an estimate of the change to the total annual reporting and recordkeeping hour and cost burden resulting from the final rule revising the PM National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the PM2.5 ambient air monitoring requirements. This rule makes revisions to the network design requirements along with updates to the monitoring and data handling requirements. These changes were made to ensure adequate PM2.5 monitoring will be performed to determine compliance with the final PM NAAQS. The burden estimates are for the 3-year period from 2013 through 2015. Monitoring revisions associated with this final rule are not required to be operational until Jan 2015 and Jan 2017.

The amendments finalized in this rule will revise the network design requirements for PM2.5 monitoring sites, resulting in the movement of the 21 monitors to establish near-road monitoring stations by January 1, 2015. The incremental burden associated with moving these 21 monitoring that are required in 40 CFR part 58 (this is a one-time cost of relocating the monitors) is $28,570.
