Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 120 / Friday, June 23, 2017 / Notices
Total estimated cost: $64,213 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 513 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease reflects voluntary
cancellation of the 1080 Livestock
Protection Collar registration formerly
held by the South Dakota Department of
Agriculture and the removal of
estimated burden associated with
submission of annual Livestock
Protection Collar production reports
erroneously included in the previous
renewal of this ICR. This resulted in a
corresponding decrease in the
associated burden. This change is an
adjustment.

Abstract: The National Estuary
Program (NEP) involves collecting
information from the state or local
agency or nongovernmental
organizations that receive funds under
Sec. 320 of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
The regulation requiring this
information is found at 40 CFR part 35.
Prospective grant recipients seek
funding to develop or oversee and
coordinate implementation of
Comprehensive Conservation
Management Plans (CCMPs) for
estuaries of national significance. In
order to receive funds, grantees must
submit an annual work plan to EPA
which are used to track performance of
each of the 28 estuary programs
currently in the NEP. EPA provides
funding to NEPs to support long-term
implementation of CCMPs if such
programs pass a program evaluation
process. The primary purpose of the
program evaluation process is to help
EPA determine whether the 28 programs

included in the National Estuary
Program (NEP) are making adequate
progress implementing their CCMPs and
therefore merit continued funding under
Sec. 320 of the Clean Water Act. EPA
also requests that each of the 28 NEPs
receiving Sec. 320 funds report
information that can be used in the
GPRA reporting process. This reporting
is done on an annual basis and is used
to show environmental results that are
being achieved within the overall
National Estuary Program. This
information is ultimately submitted to
Congress along with GPRA information
from other EPA programs.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
those state or local agencies or
nongovernmental organizations in the
National Estuary Program (NEP) who
receive grants under Section 320 of the
Clean Water Act.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit
(Section 320 of the Clean Water Act).
Estimated number of respondents: 28
(total).
Frequency of response: Annual.
Total estimated burden: 5,600 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $314,138 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 700 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase is due to the fact
that respondents are required to submit
program evaluation packages in the next
three years and also due to a change in
GPRA reporting application platform in
FY2016 that require additional effort.
