Title: NATIONAL SURVEY OF PESTICIDES IN DRINKING WATER WELLS (PILOT STUDY)
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/10/1987
	Date Received in OIRA: 12/07/1987
Terms of Clearance: OMB is granting this emergency request to conduct additional data collection to determine the number of wells in community water systems (CWS). This is a reinstatement and extention of the earlier pilot survey. The justification for this addendum is that the Federal Reporting Data System (FRDS) information on average number of wells pe CWS was incorrect. EPA states that the pilot data will be used to assess the possible errors in FRDS. As a condition of approval, EP must commit to examine all of the FRDS and rectify identified problems In particular, EPA shall study the initial quality of the data as received, how it flows into the system, and how the data is managed. This should be a longer-term, broad effort (not limited to well frequency data) that could lead to substantial improvements to FRDS an avoid the need for surveys similar to this. At a minimum, this study and its conclusions should be incorporated into the Public Drinking Water Supply Program Information ICR renewal (2040-0090). Progress reports shall be given to OMB on an annual basis.
