Records Governing Off-the-Record
Communications; Public Notice
April 18, 2008.

This constitutes notice, in accordance
with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt
of prohibited and exempt off-the-record
communications.
Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222,
September 22, 1999) requires
Commission decisional employees, who
make or receive a prohibited or exempt
off-the-record communication relevant
to the merits of a contested proceeding,
to deliver to the Secretary of the
Commission, a copy of the
communication, if written, or a
summary of the substance of any oral
communication.
Prohibited communications are
included in a public, non-decisional file
associated with, but not a part of, the
decisional record of the proceeding.
Unless the Commission determines that
the prohibited communication and any
responses thereto should become a part
of the decisional record, the prohibited
off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in
reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to
respond to any facts or contentions
made in a prohibited off-the-record
communication, and may request that
the Commission place the prohibited

communication and responses thereto
in the decisional record. The
Commission will grant such a request
only when it determines that fairness so
requires. Any person identified below as
having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the
document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable
proceeding in accordance with Rule
2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
Exempt off-the-record
communications are included in the
decisional record of the proceeding,
unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40
CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e) (1) (v).
The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently
received by the Secretary of the
Commission. The communications
listed are grouped by docket numbers in
ascending order. These filings are
available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary
link. Enter the docket number,
excluding the last three digits, in the
docket number field to access the
document. For assistance, please contact

those documents in the public docket
that are available electronically. Once in
the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in
the docket ID number identified in this
document.
What Information Is EPA Particularly
Interested In?
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it
to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.
What Should I Consider When I
Prepare My Comments for EPA?
You may find the following
suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as
possible and provide specific examples.
2. Describe any assumptions that you
used.
3. Provide copies of any technical
information and/or data you used that
support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or
costs, explain how you arrived at the
estimate that you provide.
5. Offer alternative ways to improve
the collection activity.
6. Make sure to submit your
comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA,
be sure to identify the docket ID number
assigned to this action in the subject
line on the first page of your response.
You may also provide the name, date,
and Federal Register citation.

What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Affected entities: New and existing
public water systems (PWS), primacy
agencies, and EPA.
Title: Microbial Rules (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1895.04,
OMB Control No. 2040–0205.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on September 30,
2008. An Agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information,
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40
of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register when approved, are
listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal
Register or by other appropriate means,
such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in
certain EPA regulations is consolidated
in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The Microbial Rules
Renewal ICR examines public water
system, primacy agency and EPA
burden and costs for recordkeeping and
reporting requirements in support of the
microbial drinking water regulations.
These recordkeeping and reporting
requirements are mandatory for
compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and
142. The following microbial
regulations are included: Surface Water
Treatment Rule (SWTR), Total Coliform
Rule (TCR), Interim Enhanced Surface
Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR), Filter
Backwash Recycling Rule (FBRR), Long
Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water
Treatment Rule (LT1ESWTR), Long
Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water
Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR), and
Ground Water Rule. Future microbialrelated rulemakings will be added to
this consolidated ICR after the
regulations are finalized and the initial,
rule-specific, ICRs are due to expire.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 0.79 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and

E:\FR\FM\06JNN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 110 / Friday, June 6, 2008 / Notices
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 161,274.
Frequency of response: Varies by
requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, and annually).
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 72.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
9,151,424 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$118,653,327. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $14,698,327
and an estimated cost of $22,793,000 for
capital investment and $81,162,000 for
maintenance and operational costs.
Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
There is an increase of 526,559 hours
in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with that identified in
the ICR currently approved by OMB.
This increase is primarily due to
restructuring adjustments (i.e.,
incorporation of the approved burden
hours from the previously stand-alone
ICRs for the Long Term 2 Enhanced
Surface Water Treatment Rule, and
Ground Water Rule
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?

PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES

EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the

Source: Entry pts for CWSs: From Exhibits 5.1 and 5.2 of the Draft Final Model Systems Report prepared for EPA by the Cadmus Group, Inc., in March 2005. The exhibits are an analysis of data from the 2000 Community
Water System Survey. Includes treated entry points. Excludes 2 outlier systems that had more than 100 entry points, as well as 27 systems that provided insufficient information on their treated entry points. Numbers of plants
monitoring under IESWTR and LT1ESWTR are from Appendix D and E system inventories and are based on percentage of plants using conventional or direct filtration.

Note: The SWTR requirements for filtered systems apply only to those systems that do not use conventional or direct filtration. Systems using conventional or direct filtration monitor turbidity under the IESWTR
and LT1ESWTR. EPA assumes that 50 percent of systems serving 500 or fewer will monitor turbidity with grab samples rather than continuous monitoring. The burden estimates shown here incorporate the
results of February 2008 consultations with water industry representatives.

Note: The SWTR requirements for filtered systems apply only to those systems that do not use conventional or direct filtration. Systems using conventional or direct filtration monitor turbidity under the IESWTR and LT1ESWTR. EPA assumes that
50 percent of SWTR systems serving 500 or fewer take grab samples only; the other 50 percent monitor continuously. O&M unit costs and capital unit costs updated from 2000 to 2007 dollars.

Note: Sanitary survey burden for surface water systems is included under IESWTR. Sanitary survey burden for ground water systems for year 1 of
this ICR period is included here. Sanitary survey burden for years 2 and 3 is included under the GWR (see App. G).
Number of responses for monitoring for states is based on number of PWS respondents and assumes 1 response per system per month.
State burden for monitoring assumes 15 minutes to review each system's data each month.

Note: Number of routine samples per system from TCR Inventory page. Number is a weighted average based on number of systems in
each size category.
Notes: Labor estimates take into account the results of February 2008 consultations with water industry
representatives. Overall sample costs are conservative estimates. Many systems now use a method allowing for
both total coliforms and fecal/E.coli to be tested at one time. Average sample cost based on research conducted
for the Aircraft Drinking Water Rule in Nov. 2006.

Note: Exception reports are required when systems exceed turbidity levels of 0.5 or 1 NTU in consecutive measurements in individual filters (absent such exceedances,
systems need only report that they have completed monitoring). Individual filter assessments are required when systems exceed turbidity levels of 1 NTU during 3
consecutive months.
Burden estimates take into account the results of the February 2008 consultation with water industry representatives. Assumptions regarding percent of systems
performing exception reports and IFAs from 1998 IESWTR ICR. IESWTR individual filter turbidity monitoring requirements apply only to systems serving more than

Source: Percentages of systems for which states must review exception reports and conduct CPEs carried forward from the 1998 IESWTR ICR.
Note: Exception reports are required when systems exceed turbidity levels of 0.5 or 1 NTU in consecutive measurements in individual filters (absent such exceedances,
systems need only report that they have completed monitoring). Comprehensive performance evaluations are performed by states when a system exceeds 2 NTU in two
consecutive measurements in an individual filter in each of two consecutive months.
Burden estimates take into account the results of the February 2008 consultation with water industry representatives (including states).

(1) Start-up is assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(2) For monitoring, each sample taken is considered to be a response, and two additional responses are added (one for sample schedule/location and one for
bin classification). Systems serving up to 49,999 people will conduct half of their E. coli monitoring in Year 4. Systems serving 10,000-49,999 people will
conduct half of their Cryptosporidium monitoring in Year 4. Systems serving <10,000 people will conduct Cryptosporidium monitoring in Years 5 and 6.
(3) Activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(4) Disinfection profiling and benchmarking are considered 1 response. Profiling is assumed to be conducted prior to treatment installation.
(5) State start-up activities are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(6) Each State will have 3 responses associated with binning and reviewing monitoring data (see Exhibit F-B.7). The number of responses from States and
Territories equals three times the number of small systems performing E. coli monitoring in a given year.
(7) Activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(8) State reviews of disinfection benchmarks will parallel system activities. One response per system conducting benchmarking is assumed.

Note: Lab costs per sample updated to $2007, from BLS, using PPI (all

[1] Lab costs based on EPA subcontractor (DynCorp) survey of laboratories.
Cryptosporidium costs assume all plants must send samples to commercial
laboratories and that 27 percent of samples will require multiple subsamples
analysis at additional cost (based on Supplemental Survey results). E. Coli costs
are provided for utility analysis (no shipping) and commercial analysis, which
includes overnight shipping charges.
[2] Minimum costs are estimated from DynCorp for the minimum analytical cost
and the mean cost for shipping a 37.6 pound package (average weight of
sample as observed during the Supplemental Survey, estimated by Kevin
Connell) overnight (FedEx). Maximum costs are estimated from DynCorp for the
maximum analytical costs, the mean cost for shipping a 37.6 pound package
(average weight of sample as observed during the Supplemental Survey,
estimated by Kevin connell) overnight (FedEx), and the maximum cost of an
additional subsample analysis, also estimated by DynCorp.
[3] Assumes monthly Cryptosporidium monitoring, plus two matrix spike samples
to be analyzed at the beginning of monitoring and bi-weekly E. Coli monitoring.
These are conservative estimates, therefore laboratory costs could be lower.

Note: Lab costs per sample and shipping costs updated to

E. coli commercial shipping costs were estimated by
assuming that two 125-mL sample containers would be
shipped to the laboratory in a 10-quart polyethylene cooler
packed with approximately 4 lb of UTEK gel paks.
The approximate weight of the shipment, given these
assumptions, is 7 lb. Using this weight, we estimated shipping
costs for standard overnight service for shipments to 12
locations using the Fed Ex web site.

Sources:
(A) Burden estimates take into account results of February 2008 consultation with water industry representatives.
(B) Burden estimates take into account the results of the February 2008 consultation with water industry representatives.
(C) Although small systems will not report E. coli and Cryptosporidium results at the same time, the additional reporting burden is assumed to be negligible.
The decrease in burden for small plants that report E. coli but are exempt from Cryptosporidium monitoring is also assumed to be negligible.
(D) For systems serving up to 3,300 people, the full technical rate was applied. For systems serving more than 3,300 people, costs are based on an
80%/20% split between technical and managerial rates. Technical rates are from BLS (2006), adjusted to $2007. Managerial rates are based on Labor Costs
for National Drinking Water Rules (USEPA, 2003), inflated to $2007.

Notes:
Detail may not add exactly to totals due to independent rounding.
Some unfiltered plants may install ozone treatment, but no new burden is expected to be incurred because ozone will replace the currently used
disinfectant.
UV stands for ultraviolet disinfection and MF/UF stands for microfiltration/ultrafiltration.
Sources:
(A), (B), (C), (D) Taken from Appendix G of the LT2ESWTR Economic Analysis.
(F) Burden estimate takes into account the results of the February 2008 consultation with water industry representatives.
(G) For systems serving up to 3,300 people, the full technical rate was applied. For systems serving more than 3,300 people, costs
are based on an 80%/20% split between technical and managerial rates. Technical rates are from BLS (2006), adjusted to $2007.
Managerial rates are based on Labor Costs for National Drinking Water Rules (USEPA, 2003), inflated to $2007.

Notes:
Detail may not add exactly to totals due to independent rounding.
(A) Taken from Exhibit F-B.1a, column J.
(B) Semimonthly source water monitoring for one year for small systems and monthly samples for 24 months for medium and large systems, plus two matrix spike
samples.
Assume unfiltered plants achieve 3 log removal due to treatment installed following initialCryptosporidium
monitoring, and are therefore exempt from future Cryptosporidium monitoring.
(C) Estimate of labor for collecting sample and shipping; estimate takes into account the results of February 2008 consultation with water industry representatives.
(D) All size categories were assumed to use a technical rate from 2006 BLS rates for operators, adjusted to $2007.
(F) Taken from Exhibit F-B.1b.

(A), (B) Based on the results of February 2008 consultation with water system industry representatives.
(D) For systems serving up to 3,300 people, the full technical rate was applied. For systems serving more than 3,300 people, costs are based on an 80%/20%
split between technical and managerial rates. Technical rates are from BLS (2006), adjusted to $2007. Managerial rates are based on Labor Costs for National
Drinking Water Rules (USEPA, 2003), inflated to $2007.
(E) Taken from Exhibit F-B.1, column I.
Assume unfiltered plants achieve 3 log removal due to treatment installed following initial Cryptosporidium monitoring, and are therefore exempt from future
Cryptosporidium monitoring.

Notes:
This ICR only characterizes burden associated with systems complying with LT2ESWTR. Estimates of disinfection and profiling burden associated with systems changing
treatment to comply with Stage 2 DBPR are not yet available; they fall outside of the clearance period and will be added in future ICRs.
[1] Start-up burden is assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
[2] Half of E. coli monitoring by systems serving up to 49,999 people will be completed in Year 4 (the other half was completed in Year 3). Half of Cryptosporidium monitoring
by systems serving 10,000-49,999 people will be completed in Year 4 (the other half was completed in Year 3). Cryptosporidium monitoring for systems serving <10,000
people will be completed in Years 5 and 6 (for those systems that are triggered into Cryptosporidium monitoring based on E. coli results).
[3] Activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
[4] Systems must begin to demonstrate compliance with technologies 42 months following the completion of Cryptosporidium monitoring.
[5] Disinfection profiling must be completed prior to changing the disinfection process. Thus, the schedule reflects treatment installation.
[6] Assessments for re-binning: A second round of E. coli and Cryptosporidium monitoring for re-binning will take place starting 6.5 years after the completion of initial
[7] State rule start-up activities will parallel system activities.
[8] In the first round of monitoring, States will perform these activities for small systems only; States will perform these activities for all systems during
future monitoring.
[9] State activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed during Years 2-3.
[10] State activities will parallel system activities.
[11] State activities will parallel system activities.

Notes:
This ICR only characterizes costs associated with systems complying with LT2ESWTR. Estimates of disinfection and profiling costs associated with systems changing treatment to comply with Stage 2 DBPR are not yet available; they fall
outside of the clearance period and will be added in future ICRs.
[1] Start-up is assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
[2] Assessments for binning: half of E. coli monitoring by systems serving up to 49,999 people will be completed in Year 4 (the other half was completed in Year 3). Half of Cryptosporidium monitoring by systems serving 10,000-49,999
people will be completed in Year 4 (the other half was completed in Year 3). Cryptosporidium monitoring for systems serving <10,000 people will be completed in Years 5 and 6 (for those systems that are triggered into Cryptosporidium
monitoring based on E. coli results).
[3] Activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
[4] Systems must begin to demonstrate compliance with technologies 42 months following the completion of Cryptosporidium monitoring.
[5] Disinfection profiling must be completed prior to changing the disinfection process. Thus, the schedule reflects treatment installation.
[6] Assessments for re-binning: A second round of E. coli and Cryptosporidium monitoring for re-binning will take place starting 6.5 years after the completion of initial monitoring.
[7] State rule start-up activities will parallel system activities.
[8] In the first round of monitoring, States will perform these activities for small systems only; States will perform these activities for all systems during future monitoring.
[9] States are assumed to have completed review of uncovered finished water reservoir reports during Years 2-3.
[10] State activities will parallel system activities.
[11] State activities will parallel system activities.

Weighted unit costs equal 5% of the unit costs. This factor accounts for 50% effort for an incremental survey and 10% of systems that do not already comply with rule requirements
(see Chapter 6, Sec. 6.4.2 of the GWR EA for discussion).
(C) Unit costs for NTNCWSs may be over-estimated because some of these systems may not have a distribution system.

1) Labor rates from Exhibit A.1. EPA assumes all sampling conducted by system operator.
2) EPA assumes that 25 percent of CWSs serving less than 10,000 individuals, 75 percent of systems serving 10,000 to 50,000 individuals, and all CWSs serving
more than 50,000 conduct in-house analysis; the remaining CWSs contract a commercial laboratory. EPA assumes all NCWSs contract a commercial laboratory.
Therefore, EPA uses the following ratios to determine total cost of analysis:
a) Total cost to system serving <10,000=.75*(Commercial analysis cost)+.25*(In-house labor*Labor cost+In-house materials cost)
b) Total cost to system serving 10,001-50,000=.25(Commercial analysis cost)+.75*(In-house labor*Labor cost+In-house materials cost)
c) Total cost to system serving >50,000=In-house labor*Labor cost+In-house materials cost
3) Labor rates from Exhibit A.1.

(E) Based on rule requirements, systems not required to perform HSAs
(F) Based on rule requirements, systems that do not achieve 4-log disinfection are subject to triggered source water monitoring.
(G) Based on rule requirements, assessment monitoring is not required.
(H) Based rule requirements, systems found to have significant deficiencies during a sanitary survey, or those that detect source water contamination, must undergo corrective action. Number of systems undergoing corrective
action from model output.
(I) Systems treating to 4-log inactivation or removal of viruses must undergo compliance monitoring. Number of systems subject to compliance monitoring is converted from entry points subject to compliance monitoring
(column M), using entry points/system.
(J) Number of entry points subject to HSAs from column O, Exhibit 4.3
(K) Number of entry points subject to triggered monitoring is equal to number of systems subject to HSAs (column J).
(L) Based on rule requirements, assessment monitoring is not required.
(M) (Exhibit G.17b, Columns E+F) + (Number of Ground Water Entry Points Disinfecting to 4-Log)
