EPA is proposing a regulation that would require electronic reporting for current paper-based NPDES reports. This action will save time and resources for permittees, states, tribes, territories, and EPA while improving compliance and providing better protection of the Nation's waters. The proposed Clean Water Act regulation would require permittees and regulators to use existing, available information technology to electronically report information and data related to the NPDES permit program in lieu of filing written reports.

EPA believes electronic reporting is needed to improve data quality and availability while reducing costs. Specifically, the proposed rule is expected to save time and resources for regulated entities and states while improving compliance and better protecting the Nation's waters. However, this ICR accounts for several new activities necessary in implementing electronic reporting that will create an additional 432,503 hours of burden annually during the first three years of its implementation. It should be noted though, that this amount is more than offset by burden reductions elsewhere that amount to 622,795 hours of savings, for a total net reduction in burden of 190,262 hours per year.
