In order to evaluate current stormwater management practices, the scope of the current state and local programs, current new and redevelopment projects, and any EPA regulation to control long term stormwater discharges from developed sites, EPA is proposing several data collection activities. Because this regulation could impact many different types of entities, the ICR announced today consists of multiple questionnaire instruments designed to collect information from: owners and developers of residential, commercial, industrial, and non-commercial sites; owners and operators of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) (including transportation-related facilities such as state, county, and local departments of transportation that own/operate roadway systems); and states and EPA regions which are NPDES permitting authorities.
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.
