year. A source submitting an RMP
update to comply with its five-year
compliance deadline will often submit
its updated RMP several days or weeks
early to ensure it is received by EPA
before its deadline, and other sources
revised and resubmitted their RMPs
between the five-year deadlines because
of changes occurring at the source that
triggered an earlier resubmission. These
sources were then assigned a new fiveyear compliance deadline based on the
date of their most recent revised plan
submission. However, because most
sources are not required to resubmit
earlier than their five-year compliance
deadline, the next RMP submission
deadline for most sources occurs in
2019. The remaining sources have been
assigned a different deadline in 2020,
2021, 2022 or 2023, based on the date
of their most recent submission. Only
the first three years are within the
period covered by this ICR.
In this ICR, EPA has accounted for
burden for new sources that may
become subject to the regulations,
currently covered sources with
compliance deadlines in this ICR period
(2019 to 2021), sources that are out of
compliance since the last regulatory
deadline but are expected to comply
during this ICR period, and sources that
have deadlines beyond this ICR period
but are required to comply with certain
prevention program documentation
requirements during this ICR period.

Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
chemical manufacturers, petroleum
refineries, water treatment systems,
agricultural chemical distributors,
refrigerated warehouses, chemical
distributors, non-chemical
manufacturers, wholesale fuel
distributors, energy generation facilities,
etc.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 68).
Estimated number of respondents:
12,500 (total). This figure will be
updated as needed during the 60-day
OMB review period.
Frequency of response: Sources must
resubmit RMPs at least every five years
and update certain on-site
documentation more frequently.
Total estimated burden: 80,546 hours
(per year). This figure will be updated
as needed during the 60-day OMB
review period. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $6,736,212 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or

operation maintenance costs. This figure
will be updated with most recent
available wage rates from BLS and to
account for any changes in O&M costs,
burden and number of respondents.
Changes in estimates: The above
burden estimates are based on the
current approved ICR. In the final notice
for the renewed ICR, EPA will publish
revised burden estimates based on
updates to respondent data and unit
costs. The revised burden estimates may
increase from the current ICR, because
the new ICR period will include a fiveyear reporting cycle year, whereas the
current approved ICR period did not
include a five-year reporting cycle year.
Any change in burden will be described
and explained in this section when the
updated ICR Supporting Statement is
completed during the 60-day OMB
review period.

Microbial Rules Renewal Information
Collection Request (EPA ICR No.
1895.10, EPA–HQ–OW–2011–0442)
Abstract: The Microbial Rules
Renewal ICR examines public water
system and primacy agency 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: The Surface
Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), the Total
Coliform Rule (TCR), the Revised Total
Coliform Rule (RTCR), the Interim
Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
(IESWTR), the Filter Backwash
Recycling Rule (FBRR), the Long Term
1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment
Rule (LT1ESWTR), the Long Term 2
Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
(LT2ESWTR), the Ground Water Rule
(GWR) and the Aircraft Drinking Water
Rule (ADWR). Future microbial-related
rulemakings will be added to this
consolidated ICR after the regulations
are promulgated and the initial, rulespecific, ICRs are due to expire.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
public water systems and primacy
agencies.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR
parts 141 and 142.
Estimated number of respondents:
149,864 (total).
Frequency of response: Varies by
requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, and annually).
Total estimated burden: 14,683,598
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $652,507,000
(per year), includes $110,017,000
annualized capital or operation and
maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: There is no
estimated increase or decrease of hours
in the total estimated respondent
burden compared to what was identified
in the ICR currently approved by OMB.
Public Water System Supervision
Program Renewal Information
Collection Request (EPA ICR No.
0270.47, EPA–HQ–OW–2011–0443)
Abstract: The Public Water System
Supervision (PWSS) Program Renewal
ICR examines the burden to public
water systems, primacy agencies, and
tribal operator certification providers
and costs for ‘‘cross-cutting’’
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). The following activities
have recordkeeping and reporting
requirements that are mandatory for
compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and
142: the Consumer Confidence Report
Rule (CCRs), the Variance and
Exemption Rule (V/E Rule), General
State Primacy Activities, the Public
Notification Rule (PN), and Proficiency
Testing Studies for Drinking Water
Laboratories. The information collection
activities for both the Operator
Certification 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.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
new and existing public water systems
and primacy agencies.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR
parts 141 and 142.
Estimated number of respondents:
151,724 (total).
Frequency of response: Varies by
requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, and annually).
Total estimated burden: 3,769,213
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $187,603,000
(per year), includes $42,103,000

PO 00000

annualized capital or operation and
maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: There is an
expected decrease of hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
to what was identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB, due to use
of centralized software for data entry
and rule compliance calculations. The
updated, estimated burden will be
incorporated into a revised supporting
statement (which will be available in
the docket) and in a second Federal
Register document (for public comment)
at a later date, to be determined, before
the ICR package is sent to OMB for
approval.
The Disinfectants/Disinfection
Byproducts, Chemical and
Radionuclides Rules Renewal
Information Collection Request (EPA
ICR No. 1896.11, EPA–HQ–OW–2011–
0439)
Abstract: The Disinfectants/
Disinfection Byproducts, Chemical and
Radionuclides Rules ICR examines
burden to public water systems and
primacy agencies 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: The Stage 1 Disinfectants/
Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 1
DBPR), the Stage 2 Disinfectants and
Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 2
DBPR), the Chemical Phase Rules
(Phases II/IIB/V), the Radionuclides
Rule, the Total Trihalomethanes
(TTHM) Rule, Disinfectant Residual
Monitoring and Associated Activities
under the Surface Water Treatment Rule
(SWTR), the Arsenic Rule, the Lead and
Copper Rule (LCR), and the Lead and
Copper Rule Short Term Revisions Rule.
Future chemical-related rulemakings
will be added to this consolidated ICR
after the regulations are promulgated
and the initial, rule-specific, ICRs are
due to expire.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
new and existing public water systems
primacy agencies.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR
parts 141 and 142.
Estimated number of respondents:
149,822 (total).
Frequency of response: Varies by
requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly,

Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act
(Act) requires the EPA to operate a
federal operating permits program in
areas not subject to an approved state
program. The EPA regulations setting
forth the requirements for the federal
(EPA) operating permit program are at
40 CFR part 71. The part 71 program is
designed to be implemented primarily
by the EPA in all areas where state and
local agencies do not have jurisdiction,
such as Indian country and offshore,
beyond states’ seaward boundaries. The
EPA may also delegate authority to
implement the part 71 program on its
behalf to a state, local or tribal agency,
if the agency requests delegation and
makes certain showings regarding its
authority and ability to implement the
program. One such delegate agency for
the part 71 program exists at present.
In order to receive an operating
permit for a major or other source
subject to the permitting program, the
applicant must conduct the necessary
research, perform the appropriate
analyses, and prepare the permit
application with documentation to
demonstrate that its facility meets all
applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements. Specific activities and
requirements are listed and described in
the Supporting Statement for the part 71
ICR.
Under part 71, the permitting
authority (the EPA or a delegate agency)
reviews permit applications, provides
for public review of proposed permits,
issues permits based on consideration of
all technical factors and public input,
and reviews information submittals
required of sources during the term of
the permit. Under part 71, the EPA
reviews certain actions and performs
oversight of any delegate agency,
consistent with the terms of a delegation
agreement. Consequently, information
prepared and submitted by sources is
essential for sources to receive permits,
and for federal and tribal permitting
agencies to adequately review the
permit applications and issue the
permits, oversee implementation of the
permits, and properly administer and
manage the program.
Information that is collected is
handled according to the EPA’s policies
set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2,
subpart B—Confidentiality of Business
Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also
section 114(c) of the Act.
Form Numbers: The forms are 5900–
01, 5900–02, 5900–03, 5900–04, 5900–
