Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment
on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
within the Department of the Treasury is soliciting comments concerning
the Environmental Information and Supplemental Information on Water
Quality Considerations.
DATES: Written comments should be received on or before January 5,
1996, to be assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms, Linda Barnes, 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC 20226, (202) 927-7768.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Environmental Information and Supplemental Information on
Water Quality Considerations.
OMB Number: 1512-0100.
Form Number: ATF F 1740.1 and ATF F 1740.2.
Abstract: The environmental forms are necessary in order to comply
with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C.
4332 (ATF F 1740.1) and the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341(a) (ATF
1740.2).
Information regarding solid and liquid waste, air pollution, noise,
etc. as collected on ATF F 1740.1 is evaluated to determine if a formal
environmental impact statement or an environmental permit is necessary
for a proposed operation. This environmental type information is
collected from manufacturers, namely distilled spirits plants, wineries
breweries and tobacco products factories. ATF F 1740.2 is also
submitted by manufacturers but only those who discharge a solid or
liquid effluent into navigable waters.
Applicants are required to describe any biological, chemical
thermal or other characteristic of the discharge as well as any methods
or equipment used to monitor the condition of the discharge. Based upon
this data, ATF makes a determination as to whether a certification or
waiver by the applicable state water quality agency is required. Should
a manufacturer be required to submit both forms (ATF F 1740.1 and
1740.2) he may incorporate by reference any redundant information
especially regarding solid and waste.
Current Actions: There are no changes to this information
collection and it is being submitted for extension purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,000.
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,400.
Request For Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of public record. Written comments should
address the accuracy of the burden estimates and ways to minimize
burden including the use of automated collection techniques or the use
of other forms of information technology, as well as other relevant
aspects of the information collection request.
Dated: October 31, 1995.
Daniel R. Black,
Acting Director.
