Notice of Intent for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity under an NPDES General Permit (Proposed Rule for Construction and Development)
The revisions to this ICR related to the proposed construction and development effluent limitations and guidelines are not approved, however approval continues for the current reporting and record keeping requirements related to the Phase I and Phase II stormwater programs. It is not clear that the additional requirement to keep a site log, including self certification of various regulatory compliance activities,_has practical utility, as required by 5 CFR 1320.9(a), abd reduces to the extent practical and appropriate the burden on persons who must provide information to the agency, as required by_5 CFR 1320.9(c), including small entities. OMB notes that three options have been co-proposed for the rule and that one of the options would continue to rely on the existing site specific regulatory requirements, including the existing record keeping and reporting requirements, such as filing of a Notice of Intent and Notice of Termination and preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, in lieu of additional requirements. If EPA promulgates a final rule that includes additional reporting and record keeping requirements over and above those in the existing program, the agency should clarify in the preamble how these requirements satisfy the provisions of 5 CFR 1320.9.

The proposed rule, "Effluent Guidelines for Construction and Development" would add provisions to construction activities currently regulated by the NPDES storm water regulations. Con- struction site permittees would develop and implement an inspection program, as recorded in a site log, and certify that all provisions in the permit were implemented prior to termi- nation of permit.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
