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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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

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.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
This guidance is for owners and
operators of underground storage tank
(UST) systems (hereafter referred to as
tank owners) regulated by 40 CFR Part
280, who intend to store gasoline
blended with greater than 10 percent
ethanol or diesel blended with greater
than 20 percent biodiesel.
40 CFR Part 280, and therefore this
guidance, applies in Indian country and

in states and territories (hereafter
referred to as states) that do not have
state program approval (SPA). You can
view a map of SPA states with approved
UST programs at: http://www.epa.gov/
oust/states/spamap.htm. SPA states
may find this guidance relevant and
useful because they also have a
compatibility requirement that is similar
to the Federal compatibility
requirement. You can view statespecific requirements for SPA states at:

Note: Sanitary survey burden for surface water systems is included under IESWTR. Sanitary survey burden for ground water systems is now
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:Burden estimates take into account the results of December 2011 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.

Notes:
(E) 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). IESWTR individual filter turbidity monitoring requirements apply only to systems serving more than 10,000
people.
(F) Individual filter assessments are required when systems exceed turbidity levels of 1 NTU during 3 consecutive months. IESWTR individual filter turbidity monitoring
requirements apply only to systems serving more than 10,000 people.
(I, J) Burden estimates take into account the results of December 2011 consultations with water industry representatives.

Notes:
Detail may not add due to rounding.
To avoid double-counting the number of respondents for assessment for binning and for State activities, the highest number of respondents for an activity for
each year is used for the total number of respondents.
Years listed in the following notes are years post-promulgation.
(1) Each PWS is assumed to be a respondent.
(2) Start-up is assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(3) Each plant is assumed to be a respondent.
(4) This activity was completed in the previous ICR period.
(5) Activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(6) Systems are assumed to conduct disinfection profiling and benchmarking prior to installing treatment.

Notes

Detail may not add to totals due to rounding.
Years listed in the following notes are years post-promulgation.
(1) Start-up is assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(2) This activity was completed in the previous ICR period.
(3) Activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(4) Systems are assumed to report monthly. This may be an overestimate, since reporting requirements vary with technology used.
(5) Disinfection profiling and benchmarking are considered 1 response. Profiling is assumed to be conducted prior to treatment installation.
(6) Two responses are associated with the second round of reporting: sampling plan and bin calculation.
(7) State start-up activities are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(8) Each State will have 3 responses associated with binning and reviewing monitoring data (see Exhibit F.12). The number of responses from States and
Territories equals three times the number of small systems performing E. coli monitoring in a given year.
(9) Activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
(10) State reviews of disinfection benchmarks will parallel system activities. One response per system conducting benchmarking is assumed.

(E) For CWSs, from the 2006 CWSS. NCWSs are assumed to have one plant per system.
(G) Percentage of plants triggered into Cryptosporidium monitoring is estimated from the modeled Information Collection Rule Occurrence Distribution. All systems serving greater than 10,000 people must
conduct Cryptosporidium monitoring.
(I) Derived from Appendix G of the LT2ESWTR Economic Analysis; this number is calculated by dividing the number of plants achieving 5.5 log treatment for the LT2ESWTR by the total number of plants for
the size category.

Note: Lab costs per sample updated to $2010, from BLS, using PPI (annual, all
commodities).
[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.

(A & B) Additional consultation on burden for this activity was not sought for this ICR period as this activity was completed prior to this ICR period.
(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) See Labor Rates exhibit.

Notes:
This ICR only characterizes burden and costs associated with systems complying with LT2ESWTR. Estimates of disinfection and profiling burden and costs associated with systems
changing treatment to comply with Stage 2 DBPR are not yet available; they will be added in future ICRs.
[1] Start-up burden is assumed to have been completed in Years 1-3.
[2] The first round of E. coli and Cryptosporidium monitoring was completed during the previous ICR clearance period.
[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 for a given system will begin 6.5 years after that system's completion of initial
monitoring.
[7] 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.
[8] State activities associated with uncovered finished water reservoirs are assumed to have been completed during Years 2-3.
[9] State activities will parallel system activities.
[10] State activities will parallel system activities.

[2] The first round of E. coli and Cryptosporidium monitoring was completed during the previous ICR clearance period.
[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 ofE. coli and Cryptosporidium monitoring for re-binning for a given system will begin 6.5 years after that system's completion of initial monitoring.
[7] 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.
[8] States are assumed to have completed review of uncovered finished water reservoir reports during Years 2-3.
[9] State activities will parallel system activities.
[10] State activities will parallel system activities.

2) 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).
(D) Unit costs for NTNCWSs may be over-estimated because some of these systems may not have a distribution system.

1) Burden estimates take into account the results of December 2011 consultations with water industry representatives.
2) Labor rates from Exhibit G.1. EPA assumes all sampling conducted by system operator.
3) 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
4) Inflated to 2010 dollars from the 2006 estimate used in the GWR Economic Analysis using annual PPI, all commodities, not seasonally adjusted (www.bls.gov/data).
5) Inflated to 2010 dollars from the 2006 estimate used in the GWR Economic Analysis using annual CPI-U, U.S. city average, all items, not seasonally adjusted.

1) Burden estimates take into account the results of December 2011 consultations with water industry representatives. The ratio of state burden to system
burden for this activity is assumed to be 1:1 for systems serving 10,000 or fewer because small systems are assumed to require significant assistance to
complete the plans. Because systems serving more than 10,000 are assumed to have more technical and managerial staff, their plans will require less review,
and the ratio of state burden to system burden for these systems for this activity is assumed to be 0.5:1.

Notes:
[1] Compliance monitoring burden applies only to systems serving ≤3,300 people, because systems larger than 3,300 people incur no significant labor burden for this activity. Systems larger than 3,300 monitor disinfectant
residuals continuously, and thus are required to report only the lowest reading each day.

have a technical background, as well as some management or oversight responsibility.
(E) EPA assumes that air carriers already conduct major maintenance checks, which include sanitary survey components, every 5 years for each aircraft. Therefore, with the exception of reporting
and recordkeeping burden, no additional costs for sanitary surveys are incurred by air carriers under the ADWR.
(F), (G) All aircraft undergo compliance audits once in 5 years. The Agency will review electronic data for all aircraft at the air carrier office site. Fractional costs incurred by aircraft (assuming even
distribution across aircraft of all sizes) are represented in the exhibit for presentation and calculation purposes only.

Note:
(1) Total Agency burden and labor costs for ADWR are accounted for in the PWSS Program ICR since this rule is directly implemented through the EPA Regions. Agency burden and cost calculations
shown here are for informational purposes only.
Sources:
(D) Derived from column I, Exhibit H.10a, which calculates number of followup samples following corrective action. Each aircraft with a total coliform-positive sample takes two followup samples after
completing corrective action.
(E) From column D, Exhibit H.12b. Includes only those corrective actions that do not overlap with routine disinfection and flushing. Assumes a one-to-one correspondence between corrective action and
aircraft.
(F) EPA assumption. Air carriers that choose to take longer than 72 hours to conduct corrective action must restrict public access and provide public notification.
(G) Assumes each aircraft has no more than one TC+ sample.
(H) From column D, Exhibit H.10a.
(I) Percentage of routine samples positive for E. coli from AOC data. All air carriers with positive E. coli samples must restrict public access and provide public notification on the affected aircraft. Note that
E. coli-positive repeat samples also trigger the same requirements; however they occur so rarely that they do not significantly affect the number of PN events, so they were not included.
(J) Note that a sample can be positive for both total coliform and E. coli at the same time. By accounting for each type of sample separately, EPA may be overestimating the number of events requiring
public notification. However, they must be accounted for separately, because the public notification requirements vary for each.
(K) EPA estimate, based on burden for preparing a Tier 2 public notice in the Public Water System Supervision ICR. Includes time needed to prepare notice for crew, post placard for passengers (where
required), and report to EPA.
(M) Loaded labor rate for transportation, storage, and distribution managers from Exhibit H.2.

Note:
Air carriers conducting monitoring will incur capital costs for refrigerators beginning in year 3. Assumes air carriers will need to replace refrigerators every 10 years. As a
modeling assumption, capital costs are evenly distributed across the affected years.
