Request for Response to Survey: “Survey on Clean Water Act (CWA) Hazardous Substance and Spill Impacts (OMB Control number 2050-xxxx)”
Under the authority of the Clean Water Act, EPA is considering a regulatory proposal for CWA hazardous substances (HS) spill prevention to surface waters. To assist the agency in refining regulatory approaches and baseline estimates on the potential universe of covered facilities, EPA has developed a Survey on Clean Water Act Hazardous Substances and Spill Impacts. The purpose of this survey is to:
collect information on the universe of facilities that could potentially be subject to spill prevention regulations for hazardous substances listed at 40 CFR 116.4 (CWA HS),
identify impacts of discharges of CWA HS to surface waters (e.g., fish kills, drinking water) over the past 10 years, and
gather information on existing state, tribal and territorial programs in place to help prevent and mitigate the impact of CWA HS to surface waters.
You may be a potential respondent to the information collection effort. Alternatively, you may be able to help identify the appropriate state/tribal/territorial agencies or staff and contact them directly, or provide their contact information to EPA.
The survey and instructions are provided as an attachment to this email.
EPA is requesting that CWA HS/facility data be submitted electronically, in a database (preferably MS Excel) that can be manipulated, either via email to or by US mail on portable media (e.g., CD or thumb drive) to Contractor Name/Address (email address).
EPA is providing 45 days to respond to this voluntary survey, and requests that information be submitted by XXXX, XX, 2018.
We appreciate your time and effort in providing responses and/or contact information to this information collection request.
Please contact Joe Beaman at 202-566-0420 ([email protected]) or Stacey Yonce at 202-564-2288 ([email protected]) for questions regarding the information collection request.
Thank you,
