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, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice to

OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB.
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 under the ICR: the Surface
Water Treatment Rule, the Total
Coliform Rule, the Revised Total
Coliform Rule, the Interim Enhanced
Surface Water Treatment Rule, the Filter
Backwash Recycling Rule, the Long
Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water
Treatment Rule, the Long Term 2
Enhanced Surface Water Treatment
Rule, the Ground Water Rule, and the
Aircraft Drinking Water Rule. Future
microbial-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
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:
144,273 (total).
Frequency of response: Varies by
requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, and annually).
Total estimated burden: 15,020,711
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,378,226,000
(per year), which includes $174,800,000
annualized capital or operation and
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: EPA will
evaluate burden calculations compared
to what was identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. In May
2026, EPA identified two typographical
errors in the 2022 ICR: the ‘‘Short
Characterization’’ and ‘‘Bottom Line
Burden Hours and Costs’’ sections
incorrectly list the estimated cost as

Abstract: On December 15, 1989,
pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air
Act as amended in 1977 (42 U.S.C.
1857), the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) promulgated National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations to
control radionuclide emissions from
several source categories. The
regulations are codified at 40 CFR part
61. Of the eight subparts (B, H, I, K, Q,
R, T and W) included in the 1989 rule,
as currently amended, four apply to
privately-operated facilities. In addition
to requiring operational practices that
limit emissions, subparts B, K, R, and W
impose radionuclide dose and/or
emission limits, respectively, to
underground uranium mines, elemental
phosphorous plants, phosphogypsum
stacks, and uranium mill tailings
impoundments. Facilities must inspect
impoundments, measure radionuclide
emissions, perform analyses or
calculations per EPA procedures, and
report the results to the EPA.
Form Numbers: None.

System (NAICS) codes of facilities
associated with the activity of the
respondents are: (1) Elemental
Phosphorous 325180, (2)
Phosphogypsum Stacks 212390, (3)
Underground Uranium Mines 212290,
and (4) Uranium Mill Tailings 212290.
Respondent’s Obligation To Respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 61).
Estimated Number of Respondents: 52
(total).
Frequency of Response: Monthly,
annual, or one-time depending on the
source category and respondent activity.
Total Estimated Burden: 11,301 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total Estimated Cost: $1,412,827 (per
year), which includes $408,300
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is
increase of 7,155 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase is due to additional
subpart B and subpart W facilities
potentially coming online by 2029. In
the case of subpart B, based on
information gathered for this ICR
renewal, the Agency identified up to 14
respondents that are likely to submit
annual reports by 2029, which would be
an increase of 12 facilities from the
previous ICR. The additional responses
for subpart B will lead to increases of
2,760 burden hours and $63,600 in nonlabor cost. In the case of subpart W,
there is the potential for an additional
15 non-conventional impoundments to
be constructed and operated. This is
estimated to produce an additional
4,395 burden hours and $5,700 in nonlabor costs. For subparts K and R, there
were no changes to the number of
respondents, the annual time burden, or
the annual non-labor cost compared to
the most recent renewals of this ICR.
