Title: PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM PROGRAM INFORMATION
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 11/29/1988

Terms of Clearance: This ICR covers three elements: (1) the State Primacy application requirement under the Safe Drinking Water Act, (2) grant applications, and (3) States seeking primacy for the first time. OMB is taking the following actions with respect to each. (1) proposed rule - not approved. EPA needs to develop better burden estimates especially for the major information requirements (i.e. Stat attorney general statements and regulatory development), so that, the practical utility can be assessed and justified compared with the need to minimize burden (see 5 CFR 1320). EPA needs to add a discussion of any quarterly reporting requirements to States for making the required conforming changes so that more "bundling" can be utilized by States t minimize burden without sacrificing the needs of EPA to assure State compliance, which historically has been quite good. In the final ICR, EPA shall summarize the major public comments received that pertain to the rule's burden and indicate how they have been addressed. (2) grants - approved as is (9,360 hours). (3) first time primacy - approved, but for less hours than requested (520 vs 1040) since only one state is likely to apply for primacy in the nect two years. This ICR is approved until 9/90 when the "base" PWS ICR expires and these incremental burdens would be merged with it, although discribed separately. Earlier comments for this OMB number still apply.
