Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before
doing so, the EPA is soliciting public
comments on specific aspects of the
proposed information collection as
described below. This is a request for
approval of a new collection. 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.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before November 5, 2018.

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OW–2018–0629 online using

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will
be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, the EPA is soliciting 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 information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. The EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, the
EPA will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: On May 18, 2016, the EPA
proposed the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES):
Applications and Program Updates rule
(81 FR 31343). The Spring 2018
Regulatory Agenda explained that the
EPA would be finalizing the proposed
rule in two separate but related actions.
This first final rule will address a subset
of the revisions proposed in 2016 to
modernize the NPDES regulations,
clarify regulatory requirements, and
promote submission of complete permit

applications. This ICR identifies the
types of activities regulated and
calculates the burden and associated
costs of the revisions to be included in
the first final rule, the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES): Specific Provisions Affecting
Applications and Program Updates (RIN
2040–AF25), and corresponding
updated NPDES permit application
forms.
Form numbers: OMB. No. 2040–0004;
OMB. No. 2040–0086; OMB. No. 2040–
0188; OMB. No. 2040–0211; OMB. No.
2040–0250; OMB. No. 2040–0284; OMB.
No. 1004–0189; OMB. No. 0596–0082.
Respondents/affected entities: The
respondents affected by this collection
activity include: The EPA; authorized
state, territorial, and tribal programs;
and the regulated community.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
The collection is required pursuant to
CWA section 402, as implemented by
the revisions to 40 CFR parts 122, 124,
and 125. Compliance with the updated
application requirements and
corresponding updated application
forms is mandatory. The opportunity for
NPDES permitting authorities to provide
public notice of NPDES permit actions
using the internet in lieu of the
newspaper is voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
20,663 applicants/permittees; 20,019
state, territory, and tribal governments;
644 by the EPA (total: 41,326).
Frequency of response: The burden
would be realized once within a fiveyear period, with the assumption that
each permit would be reapplied for and
renewed once every five years.
Total estimated burden: A reduction
of 19,305 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
Total estimated cost: A savings of
$2,524,064 (per year), includes a savings
of $1,419,673 annualized capital or
operation and maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: There is an
overall decrease of 19,305 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden. This
decrease is due to: Estimated burden
reduction to both permittees and
permitting authorities resulting from
revised application forms that are easier
to follow and redesigned to reduce
confusion and support completion;
permitting authorities exercising the
option to publicly notice permitting
decisions through public websites rather
than through publication in
newspapers, and; additional minor
reductions in burden associated with
permitting authority review of
applications submitted by POTWs with
pretreatment programs and applications
submitted by permittees indicating the
use of cooling water. These changes are

due to changes in program
requirements, as well as updated and

forms.
