Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 5, 2011 / Notices
Abstract: Source Compliance and
State Action Reporting is an activity
whereby State, District, Local, and
Commonwealth governments (hereafter
referred to as either ‘‘states/locals’’ or
‘‘state and local agencies’’) make air
compliance and enforcement
information available to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA
or the Agency) on a cyclic basis via
input to the Air Facility System (AFS).
The information provided to EPA
includes compliance activities and
determinations, and enforcement
activities. EPA uses this information to
assess progress toward meeting
emission requirements developed under
the authority of the Clean Air Act (CAA
or the Act) to protect and maintain the
atmospheric environment and the
public health. The EPA and many of the
state and local agencies access the data
in AFS to assist them in the
management of their air pollution
control programs. This renewal
information collection request (ICR)
affects oversight of approximately
39,005 stationary sources by 99 state
and local agencies and the Federal EPA.
On average, the burden imposed by this
collection amounts to approximately
one-tenth of a full-time equivalent
employee for each small state and local
agency, one-fourth of a full-time
equivalent employee for each medium
sized state and local agency and one and
one-tenth of a full-time equivalent
employee for each large sized state and
local agency for national reporting of
compliance and enforcement related
data under all of the applicable Clean
Air Act programs.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 92 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
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.
Respondents/Affected Entities: State
and Local Agencies.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:58 Jul 01, 2011
Jkt 223001
Estimated Number of Respondents:
99.
Frequency of Response: Every 60
days.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
54,384.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$2,843,187 in labor costs. There are no
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 18,689 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is due to a
continuing decrease in the number of
major sources in the reportable universe
and a reported decrease of time and
resources available for use in data
management by small and medium
sized agencies.

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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from small public water systems (those
that serve less than 10,000 customers)
on examples of specific additional
efforts that EPA could make to reduce
the paperwork burden for small public
water systems affected by this
collection. The small public water
systems include community water
systems, and non-transient noncommunity water systems such as
schools and hospitals, in addition to
transient non-community water systems
such as restaurants and campgrounds.
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.

What information collection activity or
ICR does this apply to?
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2011–
0439.
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are new and
existing public water systems (PWS),
primacy agencies, and EPA.
Title: Disinfectants/Disinfection
Byproducts, Chemical, and
Radionuclides Rules (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1896.09,
OMB Control No. 2040–0204.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on December 31,
2011. 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 Disinfectants/
Disinfection Byproducts, Chemical and
Radionuclides Rules ICR examines
PWS, primacy agency and EPA burden
and costs for recordkeeping and
reporting requirements in support of the
chemical drinking water regulations.
These recordkeeping and reporting
requirements are mandatory for
compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and
142. The following chemical regulations
are included: Stage 1 Disinfectants and
Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 1
DBPR), Stage 2 Disinfectants and
Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 2
DBPR), Chemical Phase Rules (Phases
II/IIB/V), 1976 Radionuclides Rule and
2000 Radionuclides Rule, Total
Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Rule,
Disinfectant Residual Monitoring and
Associated Activities under the Surface
Water Treatment Rule, Arsenic Rule,
Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) and
revisions. Future chemical-related
rulemakings will be added to this
consolidated ICR after the regulations
are finalized and the initial, rulespecific, ICRs are due to expire.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 0.40 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
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: 246,048.
Frequency of response: varies by
requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, annually,
biennially, and every 3, 6, and 9 years).

Are there changes in the estimates from
the last approval?
There is no estimated increase or
decrease of hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that
identified in the ICR currently approved
by OMB.
What information collection activity or
ICR does this apply to?
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2011–
0442.
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are new and
existing public water systems (PWS),
primacy agencies, and EPA.
Title: Microbial Rules (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1895.07,
OMB Control No. 2040–0205
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012.
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 PWS, 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), Ground
Water Rule, and the Aircraft Drinking
Water Rule. Although the Aircraft
Drinking Water Rule has a stand-alone
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:58 Jul 01, 2011
Jkt 223001
ICR at this time, it is being included into
the Microbial ICR due to the nature of
information collected. The information
collected for the Aircraft Drinking Water
Rule is directly correlated to
information collected under the Total
Coliform Rule, and therefore is
appropriate to be included in the
Microbial ICR. Future microbial-related
rulemakings will be added to this
consolidated ICR after the regulations
are finalized and the initial, rulespecific, 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
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: 161,337.
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:
9,172,188 hours.
Estimated total annualized capital/
startup costs: $32,888,601.
Estimated total annual maintenance
and operational costs: $88,222,000.
Are there changes in the estimates from
the last approval?
There is an increase of 17,583 hours
in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with that identified in
the ICR currently approved by OMB.
This increase reflects EPA’s inclusion of
the information collection requirements
of the Aircraft Drinking Water Rule,
which was previously a stand-alone
ICR.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0270.45,
OMB Control No. 2040–0090.
ICR status: This ICR is currently

Abstract: The Public Water System
Supervision (PWSS) Program Renewal
ICR examines PWS, primacy agency,
EPA, and tribal operator certification
provider burden and costs for ‘‘crosscutting’’ recordkeeping and reporting
requirements (i.e., the burden and costs
for complying with drinking water
information requirements that are not
associated with contaminant-specific
rulemakings). These activities which
have record keeping and reporting
requirements that are mandatory for
compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and
142 include the following: Consumer
Confidence Reports (CCRs), Primacy
Regulation Activities, Variance and
Exemption Rule (V/E Rule), General
State Primacy Activities, Public
Notification (PN) and Proficiency
Testing Studies for Drinking Water
Laboratories. The information collection
activities for both the Operator
Certification/Expense Reimbursement
Program and the Capacity Development
Program are driven by the grant
withholding and reporting provisions
under Sections 1419 and 1420,
respectively, of the Safe Drinking Water
Act. Although the Tribal Operator
Certification Program is voluntary, the
information collection is driven by grant
eligibility requirements outlined in the
Drinking Water Infrastructure Grant
Tribal Set-Aside Program Final
Guidelines and the Tribal Drinking
Water Operator Certification Program
Guidelines.

(F) Assumes 5 % of all SWTR TT single exceedance violations are elevated to Tier 1 based on EPA estimate (carried forward from previous ICR). Because data are not available for SWTR single exceedance,
EPA assumes 5% of all SWTR TT violations (vcode 41) are elevated to Tier 1.
(G) IESWTR & LT1 elevated single exceedance is equal to 5% of violations for 'Treatment Technique Exceeds Turb 1 NTU.'
(H) Estimate of waterborne disease outbreaks/emergencies from biennial "Surveillance for Waterborne Disease Outbreaks – United States" reports prepared by the Center for
Disease Control (CDC).
(J) From GWR model, the number of entry points estimated to test positive for fecal indicators.
Notes:

(A-C, E-G, I, K-L, O) SDWIS FY 2010 October.
(D) Compliance data for the Stage 2 DBPR are not yet available. EPA therefore made a conservative assumption that the number of Stage 2 violations was equal to the predicted number of operational evaluations from Exhibit 14 of the Stage 2 DBPR ICR model (only CWSs
are assumed to undergo these evaluations).
(H) Assumes 5% of SWTR TT violations (vcode 41) are elevated to Tier 1 and 95% remain in Tier 2, based on EPA estimate.
(I) Assumes 5 % of IESWTR and LT1 violations for 'Treatment Technique Exceeds Turb 1 NTU' are elevated to Tier 1 and 95% remain in Tier 2, based on EPA estimate.
(J) Compliance data for the LT2ESWTR are not yet available. EPA therefore estimated the number of LT2 violations based on the number of plants installing treatment in the LT2ESWTR ICR and 2010 violation rates for the SWTR, IESWTR, and LT1ESTWR.
(N) Includes failure to take corrective action and failure to maintain 4-log inactivation when required to do so. From Exhibit 6.
(O) Tier 3 violations elevated to Tier 2 (5% of all M/R violations) based on EPA estimate (carried forward from previous ICR).

(D) Compliance data for the LT2ESWTR are not yet available. EPA therefore estimated the number of LT2 violations based on the number of plants installing treatment in the LT2ESWTR ICR and 2010 violation rates for the SWTR, IESWTR, and LT1ESTWR.
(F) Compliance monitoring violation data for Stage 2 DBPR are not yet available. EPA therefore assumes that the number of monitoring violations will be equal to the number of monitoring violations associated with the initial distribution system evaluation for FY 2010
according to SDWIS (note that the initial distribution system evaluation is now complete) .
(L) From Exhibit 6.
(N) Tier 3 violations elevated to Tier 2 (5% of all M/R violations) based on EPA estimate (carried forward from previous ICR).
(O) Burden for distributing notice of Tier 3 violations is calculated on a per-system basis since multiple violations at one system are likely to be reported in a single report. Note that this number may be an overestimate, as SDWIS does not adjust its count for systems
that have violations of more than one rule.
Notes: Detail may not add to totals due to rounding.
No data were available on systems with fluoride SMCL exceedances or systems required to report availability of unregulated contaminant monitoring results. These systems are assumed to be included in systems with Tier 3 violations.

Note: Detail may not add to totals due to rounding.
Tier 3 response rate uses number of systems in violation.
The number of service connections per system is used to approximate the number of billing customers; this number may be an underestimate as it does not account for billing
customers who do not have service connections (e.g., customers in apartment buildings).

EPA assumes that coliform violations in systems serving more than 500 people will be resolved prior to the deadline for repeat notice.
EPA assumes repeat notices will be required for 40% of MCL violations for radionuclides, Stage 1, Stage 2, arsenic, IOCs, SOCs, and VOCs,
as well as for 40% of TT violations for SWTR failure to filter, Stage 1, lead and copper, and the ground water rule.

Percentages of states completing tasks based on discussion with expense reimbursement grant personnel at EPA. Note that the expense
reimbursement grant program will end in December 2012.
(A) Assumes 0% of states will seek changes or extensions to their existing grants as the grants program ends during year 1 of this ICR
analysis period.
(B) 21 states are assumed to have completed administering grants as of August 2011, and the remaining 31 states have grants in place.
Thus 31 states are assumed to document use of their grant allotment during the first year of this ICR period . Additionally, 4 states are
assumed to have exhausted their grants since the 2008 OMB Approved ICR, resulting in a total of 35 of 52 states that are assumed to
document use of ther grant allotment during the first year of this ICR period.
(C) 21 of 52 states have completed administering grants as of August 2011. Therefore, 31 of 52 states are expected to administer grants
during this ICR period. Note, 52 states is based on the 50 states plus Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
