Abstract: This ICR calculates the burden and costs associated with information collection and reporting activities required by EPA's Effluent Limitations Guidelines and New Source Performance Standards for the Airport Deicing Category (40 CFR Part 449.10 and 449.20). Respondents affected by this information collection request are covered by either EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP), an equivalent state stormwater general permit, or an individual stormwater permit, and the NPDES permitting authorities receive, process, and review permit applications, and Notices of Intent (NOIs). Permitting authorities will also process and review certifications of non-use of urea-based deicers, and monitoring data as applicable. EPA's wastewater regulations (effluent guidelines and standards, or ELGs) affect airports that conduct deicing operations. Aircraft are deiced by the spraying of chemicals called aircraft deicing fluids (ADF), which contain water pollutants. Airports also apply airfield pavement deicing chemicals to runways, taxiways and ramps which similarly contain water pollutants. The Airport Deicing ELG requires existing airports to certify that they are not using deicers containing urea for airfield pavement deicing operations. EPA and the states will use this information to determine permittee compliance with the regulations and administer enforcement actions if needed.
