This ICR
pertains to the additional burden hours associated with the final
Coliform Rule. EPA has satisfactorily addressed previous comment
made by OMB concerning the paperwork requirements. The expiration
date for this addendum to the main public water system program ICR
wil coincide with that of the "base" clearance (9/90). At the time
of the reinstatement EPA shall disaggregate the burden such that
the burden from major regulatory requirements is clearly
identified. EPA has done a good job in presenting and estimating
the burden.
