IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

1(a)

Title and Number of the Information Collection
Title: Information Collection Request for the Proposed Revised Total Coliform Rule
OMB Control Number:

2040-AD94

EPA ICR Number:

1895.06

Note: This Information Collection Request (ICR) covers only the first three years after rule promulgation.
The description of reporting and recordkeeping burden required for the full rule implementation, which
exceeds the 3-year period for this ICR, is provided for informational purposes only. The costs and burden
associated with the 3-year period of this ICR is described in Section 6 while the costs and burden of the
10-year full implementation period is provided in Appendix A.

1(b)

Short Characterization

The proposed Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) requires information collection
regarding the effectiveness of treatment, the integrity of the distribution system, and the possible
presence of fecal contamination. All public water systems (PWSs) are included in this
information collection. The proposed RTCR uses total coliforms as an indicator to start an
evaluation process that, where necessary, will require the PWS to correct sanitary defects. Under
the proposed RTCR, E. coli will remain a regulated contaminant with a maximum contaminant
level goal (MCLG) of zero and a maximum contaminant level (MCL) based on the presence of
total coliforms and/or E. coli. All fecal coliform provisions (including the MCLG and MCL) are
removed in the proposed RTCR. The intent of the proposed RTCR is to better address the 1989
Total Coliform Rule (TCR) objectives and enhance the multi-barrier approach to protecting
public health, especially with respect to smaller ground water PWSs.
A large portion of the data collection under the proposed RTCR will involve monitoring,
assessments, corrective actions, and public notification. Under the proposed RTCR, PWSs would
continue to monitor for total coliforms and E. coli in the distribution system. All PWSs that meet
certain trigger conditions (either a Level 1 or Level 2 trigger) are required to complete a Level 1
or Level 2 assessment and submit an assessment form to the state1 within a specified time period.
For corrective actions not completed within the specified time period, PWSs must submit to the
state a timetable for completing the corrective actions. Additionally, PWSs would continue to be
required to provide public notification for violations (the level of notification depends on the
degree of public health implication of the violation). Some state activities under the proposed
RTCR include review and revision of PWSs’ sample siting plans; review of PWSs’ sampling
results; review of completed assessment forms; consultation and coordination with PWSs to
determine the appropriate corrective action to be implemented; review of PWSs’ certification of
public notification; and recordkeeping of PWSs’ submissions.

The term “state” in the context of this ICR refers to any state or other primacy agency that has oversight
authority for drinking water programs.

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010

PWSs and states have monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements under the
national primary drinking water regulations (NPDWRs) (see 40 CFR2 141.402, 40 CFR 141.403,
40 CFR 142.405, 40 CFR 142.14, 40 CFR 142.15). All affected PWSs shall maintain and report
to the state information documenting compliance with the treatment and monitoring
requirements under the NPDWRs. States shall maintain records essential for program
implementation and oversight. These records, retained in the Safe Drinking Water Information
System (SDWIS), allow the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to track PWS compliance
with NPDWRs.
Data collected under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) are used by EPA’s Office of
Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW), and other EPA programs such as Superfund and
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The data may also be used by the Farmers
Home Administration, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, White House Task forces, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, public interest groups, and
many private companies and individuals.
This ICR presents the burden and costs of the proposed RTCR to PWSs and states during
the first three years following rule promulgation. For this 3-year ICR period, the average annual
net change respondent burden and cost to PWSs and states is estimated at 839,526 hours and
$23,767,060. The annual net change burden and cost to PWSs is estimated at 747,848 hours and
$20,171,639. The estimated net change annual state burden for this ICR is 91,678 hours, at an
estimated annual net change cost of $3,595,421. All costs estimated are labor costs. There are no
operation and maintenance (O&M) or capital costs for the 3-year period covered by this ICR.
The net change burden and cost estimates are discussed in greater detail in Section 6 of this
document.
Beyond the first three years after rule promulgation (when PWSs and states need to
comply with the rule), the burden and costs associated with complying with the rule for states
and PWSs will be captured in the Microbial Rules ICR (for monitoring burden and costs) and the
Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) ICR (for public notification reporting and
recordkeeping burden and costs). Since there are ongoing reporting and recordkeeping
requirements under the current TCR, Appendix A of this ICR shows the net change in the
reporting and recordkeeping burden and costs to be incurred by PWSs under the proposed
RTCR. Note that these calculations are for informational purposes only and are not part of this
ICR.
The total number of respondents for this ICR is 154,894; 154,837 respondents are PWSs
and 57 respondents are states and territories. The average annual net change in the number of
responses for PWSs is 103,225 and averages 2.0 responses per respondent annually. The average
annual net change in the number of responses for states is 51,669 and averages 906.5 responses
per respondent annually.
This ICR was prepared in accordance with the November 2005 version of EPA’s Guide
to Writing Information Collection Requests Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995

NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

The following sections describe the need for this information collection and the legal
authority under which this information will be collected. Section 4 contains a summary of the
major recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the proposed RTCR.
2(a)

Need/Authority for the Collection

The proposed RTCR achieves the objectives of the 1989 TCR more effectively and
efficiently, taking into account the changes in regulatory framework for implementing the
SDWA over the past 20 years and experience with the TCR since it was promulgated in 1989.
The information collected under the proposed RTCR is required by EPA to carry out its
monitoring and enforcement responsibilities under the SDWA. Without comprehensive,
up-to-date information on drinking water contamination, EPA would not be able to meet the
SDWA statutory requirements.
Section 1401(1)(D) of the SDWA requires that an NPDWR
contains criteria and procedures to assure a supply of drinking water which dependably
complies with such maximum contaminant levels; including accepted methods for quality
control and testing procedures to insure compliance with such levels and to insure
proper operation and maintenance of the system...
This section also authorizes EPA to require PWSs and laboratories to use EPA-approved
methods and quality assurance criteria for collecting and analyzing water samples.
Section 1445(a)(1)(A) of the SDWA requires that persons subject to the NPDWR
requirements
establish and maintain such records, make such reports, conduct such monitoring, and
provide such information as the Administrator may reasonably require by regulation to
assist the Administrator in establishing regulations under this subchapter, in determining
whether such person has acted or is acting in compliance with this subchapter...

Use/Users of the Data

Once compliance with the RTCR begins, each PWS maintains PWS-level records on the
analytical results of monitoring actions and corrective actions taken and of the reports or written
communications with the state regarding violations, assessments, corrective actions, and public
notification (see 40 CFR 141.31 and 141.33). PWSs will use the data collected from this ICR and
from the Microbial Rules ICR and PWSS ICR, when the rules goes into compliance, to:


Determine system-specific needs



Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment



Determine the integrity of the distribution system



Signal the possible presence of fecal contamination



Correct significant deficiencies



Alert the public through notices in the mass media or water bills when PWSs are not in
compliance with Federal and state regulations

States are required to maintain records compiled from PWS respondents (40 CFR
142.14). States can use these records to track PWS monitoring, compliance violations, and
enforcement activities. States can also track schedules for PWSs trying to achieve compliance.
States are required to report the number of violations to SDWIS, which will help them target
PWSs for compliance and take the necessary remedial action. SDWIS is a Federal information
system that allows EPA and the states to store and retrieve information over time. Trends in
compliance data can be evaluated at the PWS level, at the state level, and at the national program
level. Usually, these data are used by EPA for maintaining oversight of the drinking water
program (including supporting the Six-Year Review of NPDWRs mandated by SDWA) and for
supporting Federal enforcement actions in cases where states fail to enforce.
The states and EPA have a number of critical questions to answer as part of their
supervision of PWSs. Information and data collected from this ICR and from the Microbial
Rules ICR and PWSS ICR can be used to answer these questions, some of which are listed
below.
At the PWS level:


Does a PWS have Level 1 or Level 2 triggers requiring Level 1 or Level 2 assessments?



Does the result of a Level 1 or a Level 2 assessment indicate the presence of (a) sanitary
defect(s) that require(s) corrective actions?



For PWSs not in compliance, why are they not in compliance and how can compliance be
achieved?
5

ICR for the Proposed RTCR



June 2010

What is the threat to public health of a PWS that is not in compliance?

At the national and state level:


What are the national and state compliance trends?



What changes in national policy or regulation may be needed to increase the national
compliance rate?



Is noncompliance a function of location, size, or other identifiable variable?

Requests for PWS data and related statistical analyses are frequent. Requests for SDWIS
data are often received under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Approximately 200 FOIA
requests are received per year. EPA also maintains an Internet access point for SDWIS data at
their “Envirofacts” Internet site.

NON-DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER
COLLECTION CRITERIA
The following sections verify and affirm that this ICR satisfies the PRA requirements,
meets the OMB data-collection guidelines, has public support, and does not duplicate another
collection.
3(a)

Non-duplication

EPA has searched the Federal Information Locator System (FILS) in an effort to ensure
nonduplication of the data collection efforts. The information collected under the proposed
RTCR is needed to determine a PWS’s risk of microbial contamination and to evaluate the
PWS’s compliance. To the best of EPA’s knowledge, data required by this proposed rule are not
available from any other source.
3(b)

Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

Since this ICR is part of a proposed rule, public notice is not required prior to its
submission to OMB. Instead, a notice for public comment for the ICR is included in the
preamble of the proposed RTCR. Based on public comment received on the proposed rule,
modifications will be made to the rule and underlying analyses prior to promulgation of the final
rule. Where appropriate, these modifications will also be reflected in this ICR. A full discussion
of public comments on the proposed RTCR, as well as EPA’s responses, will be provided in a
separate document which will be available in the public docket established for this rulemaking
once the final rule is published.
3(c)

Consultations

EPA noticed its intent to revise the 1989 TCR in July 2003 (68 FR 42908, July 18, 2003).
To support the revisions of the TCR, EPA held several outreach activities and consultations. One
of these outreach activities is a technical workshop that EPA held in Washington, DC, from
January 30 to February 1, 2007 to discuss available information on the current TCR and
available information regarding risks in distribution systems.
In June 2007, EPA established the Total Coliform Rule / Distribution System Advisory
Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA),
to provide recommendations to EPA on revisions to the 1989 TCR and on what information
about distribution systems is needed to better understand and address public health impacts from
potential degradation of drinking water quality in distribution systems. The committee members
agreed on and signed the Agreement in Principle (AIP) that contains the advisory committee’s
recommendations on revisions to the TCR that will improve implementation while maintaining
or improving public health protection and distribution system water quality. The provisions of
the proposed RTCR are based on the AIP.

7

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010

EPA has also committed in the AIP to hold a stakeholder meeting no less than once per
year to engage stakeholders in the development of the proposed RTCR. EPA held two
stakeholder meetings, the first one in April 2009 and the second one in May 2010, to provide
draft proposed regulation updates and an opportunity for stakeholders to provide feedback on the
development of the proposed RTCR.
As mandated by SDWA, EPA also consulted with the Science Advisory Board, the
National Drinking Water Advisory Council, and the Secretary of the US Department of Health
and Human Services on the proposed RTCR. EPA also consulted with Tribal governments in
accordance with Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Tribal
Governments. EPA also convened a Small Business Advocacy Review Panel (SBARP) to look at
the impacts of the proposed RTCR on small entities. A more detailed discussion on this latter
consultation can be found in Section 5(c) of this ICR. EPA considered the recommendations it
got from these consultations in developing the proposed RTCR.

3(d)

Effects of Less Frequent Collection

During the three-year period covered by this ICR, EPA requires no reporting and
recordkeeping associated with complying with the proposed RTCR.
For compliance with the proposed RTCR (which happens beyond the three years covered
by this ICR) EPA has determined that the monitoring frequencies for total coliforms and E. coli
required of PWSs under the proposed RTCR are appropriate since less frequent data collection
may fail to identify, in a timely manner, significant contaminant concentrations that may threaten
the health and safety of drinking water consumers. EPA has considered alternatives for a wide
range of frequency and burden estimates for data collection. EPA has selected the approach that
requires the least frequent collection possible while maintaining its public health protection
objectives.
3(e)

General Guidelines

This ICR was prepared in accordance with the November 2005 ICR Handbook prepared
by EPA’s Office of Environmental Information, Office of Information Collection, Collection
Strategies Division. The ICR Handbook provides the most current instructions for ICR
preparation to ensure compliance with the 1995 PRA amendments and OMB’s implementing
guidelines.
3(f)

Confidentiality
No confidential information will be collected as a result of this ICR.

3(g)

Sensitive Questions
No information of a sensitive nature will be collected as a result of this ICR.

RESPONDENTS AND INFORMATION REQUESTED

The following sections provide information on the respondents and the information they
are requested to provide.
4(a)

Respondents/NAICS Codes

Under the proposed RTCR, respondents to the monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping
requirements include the operators and owners of PWSs, which include noncommunity water
systems (NCWSs). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for
investor-owned water systems is 22131; the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code is
4941. The NAICS Code for both publicly owned water systems and state agencies is 92411 and
the SIC Code is 9511. State officials serve in a role of respondent when reporting compliance
data to EPA.
PWSs are defined as those systems that provide piped water for human consumption and
have at least 15 service connections or regularly serve at least 25 people at least 60 days per year.
A community water system (CWS) is a PWS that serves at least 15 connections used by
year-round residents or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. NCWSs, by definition,
are all other PWSs. NCWSs include transient systems and non-transient systems. Non-transient
systems serve the same 25 people at least 6 months per year (40 CFR 141.2).
4(b)

Information Requested

4(b)(i) Data Items
States
During the first three years after rule promulgation, states need not comply with the
proposed RTCR since the compliance date is three years after promulgation. Therefore, EPA
requires no reporting and recordkeeping from states with regards to RTCR compliance. EPA,
however, expects states to prepare and submit their primacy applications during this period. In
addition to the general requirements contained in 40 CFR 142.16, EPA requires a state’s primacy
application to contain information specific to the RTCR. This information includes:


The baseline and reduced monitoring provisions of the proposed RTCR the state will
adopt and how the state will implement those provisions;



Written descriptions of the following:
o Frequency and process used to review and revise sample siting plans;
o Criteria for reduced monitoring;
o Process for implementing the new assessment and corrective action provisions of the
proposed RTCR;
9

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010

o Criteria and process for invalidating routine or repeat samples;
o Criteria and process for approval of individuals allowed to conduct Level 1 and Level
2 assessments;
o Procedure for performing special monitoring evaluations during sanitary surveys for
ground water systems serving 1,000 persons or fewer to determine whether systems
are on an appropriate monitoring schedule;
o Process of identifying seasonal systems and determining their monitoring schedule
and start-up procedures;
o Additional criteria for reduced monitoring; and
o Procedures for seasonal systems to start-up operations at the beginning of each
system.
The following are the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for states beyond the
first three years after rule promulgation (when PWSs need to comply with the RTCR). The costs
and burden determination to comply with these requirements are not included in this ICR.
In addition to the reporting requirements specified in 40 CFR 142.15, the proposed
RTCR requires states to report the following to EPA (see proposed RTCR §142.15(c)(3)).


A list of systems that the state is allowing to monitor under a reduced monitoring
frequency.

In addition to those already specified in 40 CFR 142.14, states are required to keep
records of the following (see §142.14(a)(10)):


Any decision to waive or extend the 24-hour time limit for collecting samples following
either a total coliform-positive routine sample, invalidation, or a high turbidity
measurement;



Any decision to allow a system to waive the requirement for three routine samples the
month following a total coliform-positive sample;



Any decision to invalidate a total coliform-positive sample;



Completed and approved Level 1 and/or Level 2 assessments, including reports from the
system that corrective action has been completed;



Any decision to reduce the total coliform monitoring frequency for a community water
system serving 1,000 persons or fewer to less than once per month;



Any decision to reduce the total coliform monitoring frequency for a noncommunity
water system using only ground water and serving 1,000 persons or fewer to less than
once per quarter;
10

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010



Any decision to reduce the total coliform monitoring frequency for a noncommunity
water system using only ground water and serving more than 1,000 persons during any
month the system serves 1,000 persons or fewer; and



Any decision to allow a system to forgo E. coli testing of a total coliform-positive sample
if that system assumes that the total coliform-positive sample is E. coli- positive.

Public Water Systems
During the first three years after rule promulgation, PWSs need not comply with the
RTCR since the compliance date is three years after promulgation. Therefore, EPA requires no
reporting and recordkeeping from PWSs with regards to RTCR compliance. EPA, however,
expects that PWSs will start revising their sample siting plans as necessary so that they will be
available for state review and revision when the systems have to comply with the rule.
The following are the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for PWSs beyond the
first three years after rule promulgation (when PWSs need to comply with the RTCR). The costs
and burden determination to comply with these requirements are not included in this ICR.
In addition to the reporting requirements specified in 40 CFR 141.31, PWSs are required
by the proposed RTCR to report the following to the states (see §141.861(a)):


E. coli MCL violation by no later than the end of the next business day after it learns of
the violation, and provide public notification;



E. coli-positive sample by no later than the end of the next business day after the PWS
learns of the analytical result;



Treatment technique violation for total coliforms by no later than the end of the next
business day after the PWS learns of the violation. The PWS must provide public
notification;



Completion of each scheduled corrective action for corrections not completed by the time
of submission of the assessment form; and

11

ICR for the Proposed RTCR



June 2010

Monitoring violation within 10 days after the PWS discovers the violation. The PWS
must provide public notification.

In addition to the recordkeeping requirements for PWSs specified in 40 CFR 141.33,
PWSs are required by the proposed RTCR to keep records of the following (see §141.861(b)):


Any assessment form, documentation of corrective actions completed as a result of
assessments, or other available summary documentation of the sanitary defects and
corrective actions taken for state review.

4(b)(ii) Respondent Activities
States
During the first three years after rule promulgation, the only activities that take place are
state primacy application and start-up activities, which include:


Reading and understanding the rule;



Adopting the rule and developing state program that will support implementation of the
rule;



Modifying data management system;



Training staff; and



Reviewing PWS sample siting plans and providing recommendations for revisions to
PWSs.

Beyond the first three years, when PWSs need to comply with the RTCR, EPA expects
the states to be involved in the following incremental activities (note that these activities are not
part of the cost and burden determination for this ICR). Figure 4.1 shows the schedule of
information collection and other compliance activities under the proposed RTCR.


Tracking compliance;



Analyzing and reviewing PWS data;



Making determinations concerning PWS monitoring requirements;



Responding to PWSs with positive samples (for the calculations shown in Appendix A,
note that the net change in burden and costs for states to review PWSs monitoring results
12

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010

is zero because the TCR methodology is calculated on a per PWS basis and the total
number of PWSs is the same for modeling under the TCR and proposed RTCR);


Recordkeeping;



Reviewing completed assessment forms and consulting with the PWS about the
assessment form;



Reviewing and coordinating with PWSs to determine the optimal corrective action to be
implemented; and



Providing consultation, reviewing the public notification certification, and filing the
report of the violation.

Public Water Systems
During the first three years after rule promulgation, EPA anticipates PWSs to perform
start-up activities, which include:


Reading and understanding the rule;



Planning, and mobilization; and



Revising existing sampling plans to identify sampling locations and collection schedules
that are representative of water throughout the distribution system.

Beyond the first three years, when PWSs need to comply with the RTCR, EPA
anticipates PWSs to be involved in the following incremental activities (note that these activities
are not part of the cost and burden determination for this ICR). Figure 4.1 shows the schedule for
information collection and other compliance activities under the proposed RTCR.


Conducting routine, additional routine, and repeat coliform monitoring.3



Completing a Level 1 assessment if the PWS experiences a Level 1 trigger, and
submitting a timetable to the state to identify sanitary defects detected, corrective actions
completed, and a timetable for any corrective actions not already completed.



Completing a Level 2 assessment if the PWS experiences a Level 2 trigger, and
submitting a timetable for any corrective actions not already completed.

3

For the calculations shown in Appendix A, note that the net change in reporting and recordkeeping burden
and costs for PWSs to submit monitoring results to States is zero because the TCR methodology is calculated on a
per PWS basis and the total number of PWSs is the same for modeling under the TCR and proposed RTCR.



For the calculations shown in Appendix A, note that only the net change in the number of corrective
actions performed under the proposed RTCR is accounted for. EPA estimates that additional corrective actions
would be performed for only 10% of the assessments undertaken as a result of the proposed RTCR. EPA estimates
that corrective actions found through Level 1 assessments would result in corrective actions that focus more on
transient solutions than on permanent fixes to the PWS. Corrective actions taken as a result of Level 2 assessments
are expected to find a higher proportion of structural/technical issues resulting in material fixes to the PWSs and
distribution system.

INFORMATION COLLECTED -- AGENCY ACTIVITIES,
COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT
The following sections describe EPA activities related to analyzing, maintaining, and
distributing the information collected.
5(a)

EPA Activities

The EPA will be responsible for promulgating the RTCR once it has been finalized and
overseeing its implementation. Implementation of monitoring requirements will rely extensively
on state governments in those states that have assumed primacy under section 1413 of the
SDWA and §142.16 of the proposed RTCR. The EPA will be involved in the following
activities:


Developing the RTCR and guidance materials;



Reviewing and analyzing data submissions from the states; and



Processing and maintaining the SDWIS.

These are all general activities that are covered under the PWSS Program ICR, and therefore, are
not included in the EPA burden and costs estimates for this ICR.
5(b)

Collection Methodology and Management

Upon compliance, states will send their records of PWSs’ violations and whether a PWS
had a sanitary survey to SDWIS. EPA will modify SDWIS and data verification procedures to
accommodate the new information from the proposed RTCR.
EPA will check data quality by doing the following:


Developing standard operating procedures for each rule;



Editing the data submitted for content and required format in SDWIS;



Sending rejected data back to the states for error corrections;



Requiring states to resubmit corrected data;



Data verification audit of states based on data verification protocol established by EPA;
and



Conducting a review of states annually for corrective actions.

16

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010

EPA plans to modify its existing data verification process to:


Include the number of PWSs with discrepancies;



Include onsite verification in states and PWSs, if necessary, every 2 to 3 years;



Train states on data verification procedures so they can conduct self-audits;



Include timeliness reviews;



Incorporate proposed RTCR-related activities into EPA Regional quarterly/annual
reviews; and



Include a regional check with states within six months of the previous data verification.

SDWIS runs on an IBM ES9000 12 way processor using mainframe edit programs (in
JCL). EPA defines information requirements and states update the data in batch file mode in a
pre-defined format. The public may access the violations data in SDWIS through the Internet at
http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/sdwis/sdwis_query.html.
5(c)

Small Entity Flexibility

In developing this ICR (and for the subsequent renewal of the Microbial Rules ICR and
PWSS ICR), EPA considered the requirement of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act (SBREFA) to minimize the burden of information collections on small entities.
EPA considers small entities to be PWSs serving fewer than 10,000 people (63 FR 44524,
August 19, 1998).
The proposed RTCR will have the greatest impact on small PWSs. Under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as amended by SBREFA, EPA generally is required
to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the impact of a regulatory action on
small entities. To assess this impact, EPA conducted outreach to small entities and convened a
Small Business Advocacy Review Panel (SBARP) in February 2008 to obtain advice and
recommendations of representatives of the small entities that potentially would be subject to the
proposed rule’s requirements. These recommendations are discussed below.
5(c)(i) Small Business Advocacy Review Panel Recommendations
The Panel recommended to use total coliforms as a trigger for investigation and/or
corrective action, to balance monitoring requirements and costs with risk, to further differentiate
requirements with other related rules, and to consider reporting and recordkeeping costs in
estimating burden.
EPA considered the Panel’s recommendations in developing the proposed RTCR. The
proposed RTCR eliminates the MCLG and MCL for total coliforms and instead uses total
coliforms as an indicator of the potential pathway of contamination into the distribution system.
PWSs that may be vulnerable to fecal contamination (as indicated by their monitoring results)

17

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010

are required to do an assessment and if necessary, appropriate corrective action. Other provisions
of the proposed RTCR also result in reduced costs for many small PWSs and address the
recommendations of the Panel mentioned previously. These provisions include:


Reduced routine monitoring for qualifying PWS serving 1,000 persons or fewer.



Reduced number of repeat samples required.



Reduced additional routine monitoring for PWS serving 4,100 or fewer people.



Reduced public notification requirements for all systems, including small systems.



Reductions in corrective actions over time as a result of enhanced system performance
for all small systems.

Furthermore, consistent with the Panel recommendation to evaluate which parameters are
most appropriate for routine monitoring and as potential triggers for investigative and corrective
actions, EPA is conducting a review of existing models for total coliform and E. coli analysis and
is evaluating its Alternative Test Procedure protocol for approving new methods. EPA is also
one of the founding members of a Research Information Collection Partnership that is
considering research and information needs to evaluate potential indicators of distribution system
contamination.
5(d)

Collection Schedule

The RTCR is scheduled to be promulgated in 2012, with monitoring beginning 3 years
after promulgation. Figure 4.1 illustrates the information collection periods for compliance with
the proposed RTCR over the first 10 years following rule promulgation.

ESTIMATING BURDEN AND COST OF COLLECTION

The following sections discuss costs and burden for all information collection,
recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for the proposed RTCR.
6(a)

Estimating Respondent Burden and Cost

The following sections discuss the costs and burden faced by PWSs and states. Note that
the majority of the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting burden occurs beyond the 3-year
period of the ICR. Exhibits A.34 and A.37, located in Appendix A, include a ten-year time frame
showing the burden and costs beyond the initial period covered by the ICR. This reflects the
reality of rule implementation. Figure 6.1 presents a summary of estimated responses, burden,
and costs for the 3-year window of the ICR.

2) "Annual Burden Hours" reflects an annual average for all system sizes over the 3-year ICR period.

6(a)(i) Burden and Cost to PWSs
Information collection activities of PWSs required under the proposed RTCR will result
in average annual net change national labor costs of $20.2 million and a corresponding annual
net change burden of 747,848 person-hours as shown in Figure 6.1 and in Exhibits A.34 and
A.37. The exhibits also include annual net change costs and burden up to 10 years following rule
promulgation.
The net change burden and costs are estimated for start-up activities, including reading
the rule and training staff. The assumptions and methodologies used in deriving these estimates
are discussed in the following section.

19

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

6(a)(i)(a)

June 2010

Start-Up Activities

Start-up activities are estimated at a one-time expense of $60.5 million (Exhibit A.37)
and 2.2 million burden hours (Exhibits A.34). Start-up activities include reading the final rule to
become familiar with the requirements and performing additional or transitional implementation
activities such as training staff to on rule requirements. Additionally, all PWSs will incur onetime costs to revise existing sampling plans to identify sampling locations and collection
schedules that are representative of water throughout the distribution system.
For costing purposes, EPA estimates the labor needs and hourly labor rates of PWSs and
states for two labor categories: managerial and technical. For PWSs, all analyses use labor rates
presented in EPA’s document, Labor Costs for National Drinking Water Rules5. The technical
and managerial wage rates vary with PWS size and include fringe benefits. To account for the
general composition of staff at PWSs of smaller sizes (e.g., PWSs serving 3,300 or fewer), EPA
uses only the technical rate. For PWSs serving more than 3,300 people, EPA uses a ratio of 80
percent technical labor to 20 percent managerial labor to arrive at a labor cost, or weighted labor
rate. A full description of the derivation of the labor rates used is provided in the Technology and
Cost Document for the Proposed Revised Total Coliform Rule6. The weighted labor rates ($2007)
are shown in Exhibit A.1.
6(a)(i)(b)

Annual Activities

In the tenth year of rule implementation, a net savings of $1.5 million (Exhibit A.37) and
0.09 million burden hours (Exhibit A.34) is expected for annual PWS activity costs and burden,
respectively. Included in this category are costs and burden to revise sampling plans; to conduct
routine monitoring, additional routine monitoring, and repeat monitoring; to perform Level 1 and
Level 2 assessments; to perform reporting and recordkeeping related to corrective actions; and to
provide public notification. The net change cost and burden estimates for PWS annual activities
are shown in Exhibits A.34 and A.37. These net change costs are for data collection and review
and will occur outside of the three years covered by this ICR.
6(a)(ii) Burden and Cost to States
Total annual average net change state labor cost is $3.6 million, and the annual average
net change burden is 91,678 hours for the three years covered by this ICR.
6(a)(ii)(a)

Start-Up Activities

States are estimated to incur a one-time cost of $10.8 million (Exhibit A.37) and a onetime burden of 275,033 hours (Exhibit A.34). For states, the administrative and field engineer
labor rates from the 2001 State Drinking Water Needs Analysis7 are used in the proposed RTCR

Economic Analysis (EA) (as used in the Ground Water Rule (GWR) EA8). These rates include a
60 percent overhead rate and were inflated to 2007$ using the Employee Cost Index (ECI). The
state labor rates in 2007$ are $39.22 for an administrative state employee and $43.58 for a state
field engineer. EPA assumes that the state field engineer would conduct annual site visits, and
the administrative state employee would work with PWSs on all remaining aspects of the
proposed RTCR. Because this separation between field engineer and administrative employee is
used, the 80/20 weighting ratio between technical and managerial rates is not used to develop
state costs.
6(a)(ii)(b)

Annual Activities

In the tenth year after promulgation, a net savings of $0.54 million (Exhibit A.37) and
0.01 million burden hours (Exhibit A.34) is expected annually for states to respond to positive
sample results; to review completed assessment forms required to be filed by PWSs and consult
with PWSs about their assessment form; to review and coordinate with PWSs to determine the
appropriate corrective action to be implemented; and to provide consultation, review the public
notification certification, and file the report of the violation. States must also submit information
to SDWIS to assist both EPA and states in tracking PWS compliance (see Exhibits A.34 and
A.37).
State net change costs and burden for activities occurring outside of the 3-year ICR
window are calculated in the same way as state net change start-up costs and burden. The
administrative state employee labor rate is used for all rule activities under the proposed RTCR.
6(b)

Time Frame for Cost and Burden Estimates

To provide a coherent understanding of how the burden for the rule will occur, the time
frame for rule implementation is described below.
In the first 3 years, EPA has estimated that states will adopt regulations for transitional
implementation of the proposed RTCR and will apply for program primacy approval, and that
states and PWSs will conduct transitional start-up activities for implementing the proposed
RTCR, such as training, and data management system modifications.
States are expected to incur one-time costs to review sampling plans and recommend any
revisions to PWSs. PWSs are expected to revise sampling plans before monitoring begins. For
modeling purposes costs are split between years 2 and 3 of the 25-year compliance period
(monitoring is required starting in year 4).
Beginning in the fourth year following promulgation, PWSs would begin routine,
additional routine, and repeat monitoring. Additionally, EPA expects that, beginning in the
fourth year, PWSs would be required to correct sanitary defects found through the performance
of Level 1 or Level 2 assessments. Reporting and recordkeeping burden from corrective actions
resulting from Level 1 and Level 2 assessments would also begin in the fourth year following
promulgation. For each corrective action performed, states would incur recordkeeping and

21

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010

reporting burden to review and coordinate with PWSs. Revised public notification activities
would also begin in the fourth year following promulgation.
6(c)

Estimating EPA Burden and Cost

EPA’s costs include those incurred by both regional offices and headquarters to process,
analyze, and maintain SDWIS data. These costs cannot be derived on a per rule basis but are
presented as an overall program cost in the PWSS Program ICR. Headquarters personnel who
design and administer SDWIS believe that the net additional cost of the regulations proposed
here is not significantly greater than that of the PWSS Program.
The EPA also performs the role attributed to states and territories, for those states and
territories over which it has primacy. This cost is included as part of the total burden and cost for
states.
6(d)

Respondent Universe
There are a total of 154,837 PWSs and 57 states and territories considered for this ICR.

6(e)

Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs

This section provides a description of bottom line estimates for implementation of the
proposed RTCR. The bottom line net change burden hours and costs for PWSs and states are the
summaries of the hours and costs collectively incurred for all additional activities under the
proposed RTCR in comparison to the current TCR. The first part of this section describes the
estimated average annual net change costs and hourly burdens for respondents to the rule. The
second part discusses the potential net change cost and burden to EPA. Figure 6.2 presents a
summary of the average annual net change respondent burden over three years for PWSs and
states. All additional exhibits relating to this ICR are in Appendix A.

6(e)(i) Bottom Line Burden and Cost Estimates for Respondents
For this ICR, EPA estimates that PWSs will have an annual net change respondent
burden of 747,848 hours and an annual net change respondent costs of $20.2 million. EPA
estimates that states will have an annual net change respondent burden of 91,678 hours and a

23

ICR for the Proposed RTCR

June 2010

corresponding average annual net change respondent costs of $3.6 million. Therefore, the total
average annual net change respondent burden is estimated to be 839,526 burden hours and the
corresponding total average annual net change respondent labor costs are estimated to be $23.8
million. See Figure 6.2. There are neither capital costs nor O&M costs during the 3-year ICR
period.
6(e)(ii) Bottom Line Estimate for EPA
As mentioned previously in Section 6c, the costs and burden incurred by EPA to process,
analyze, and maintain SDWIS are presented as part of the PWSS Program ICR. Additional costs
that are likely to be incurred by EPA for tribes and the state of Wyoming are included in the tally
for the costs and burden to states and territories because most costs are estimated on a per system
basis and because the number of PWSs on tribal land or in Wyoming affected by various
provisions of the rule is uncertain.
6(f)

Reasons for Change in Burden

The primary goal of the proposed RTCR is to achieve the objectives of the 1989 TCR
more effectively and efficiently, taking into account the changes in regulatory framework for
implementing the SDWA over the past 20 years and experience with the TCR since it was
promulgated in 1989. National burden estimates increase primarily because PWS requirements
are being strengthened under the proposed RTCR.
6(g)

Burden Statement

The annual net change public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 14.5 hours per PWS respondent per year and 1608.4 hours
per state respondent per year for the 3-year ICR period.9
Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by people to
generate, maintain, retain, 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 PWSs 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 requirements; 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. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information collection unless
it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s
regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
To comment on EPA's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden
estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of
automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket
ID Number EPA-HQ-OW-2008-0878, which is available for online viewing at
9

The average burden hours were calculated by dividing the annual burden hours (from Figure 6.1) by the
annual number of respondents (from Figure 6.2), e.g., for PWSs, 747,848 ÷51,612 =.14.5.
