Title: Laboratory Quality Assurance
Evaluation Program for Analysis of
Cryptosporidium under the Safe
Drinking Water Act.
Abstract: Under the Laboratory
Quality Assurance Evaluation Program,
EPA evaluates labs on a case-by-case
basis through evaluating their capacity
and competency to reliably measure for
the occurrence of Cryptosporidium in
surface water using EPA Method 1622
or EPA Method 1623. To obtain
approval under the program, the
laboratory must submit an application
package and provide: a demonstration of
availability of qualified personnel and
appropriate instrumentation, equipment
and supplies; a detailed laboratory
standard operating procedure for each
version of the method that the
laboratory will use to conduct the
Cryptosporidium analyses; a current
copy of the table of contents of their
laboratory’s quality assurance plan for
protozoa analyses; and an initial
demonstration of capability data for
EPA Method 1622 or EPA Method 1623,
which include precision and recovery
test results and matrix spike/matrix
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
spike duplicate test results for
Cryptosporidium.
After the laboratory submits to EPA
an application package including
supporting documentation, EPA and the
laboratory conduct the following steps
to complete the process:
1. EPA contacts the laboratory for
follow-up information and to schedule
participation in the performance testing
program.
2. EPA sends initial proficiency
testing samples to the laboratory (unless
the laboratory has already successfully
analyzed such samples under EPA’s
Protozoan PE program). These sample
packets consist of eight spiked samples
shipped to the laboratory within a
standard matrix.
3. The laboratory analyzes initial
proficiency testing samples and submits
data to EPA.
4. EPA conducts an on-site evaluation
and data audit.
5. The laboratory analyzes ongoing
proficiency testing samples three times
per year and submits the data to EPA.
These sample packets consist of three
spiked samples shipped to the
laboratory within a standard matrix.
6. EPA contacts laboratories by letter
within 60 days of their laboratory onsite evaluation to confirm whether the
laboratory has demonstrated its capacity
and competency for participation in the
program.
The procedure for obtaining an
application package, the criteria for
demonstrating capacity and
competency, and other guidance to
laboratories that are interested in
participating in the program, are
provided at https://www.epa.gov/
safewater/lt2/cla_final.html.
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. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 19 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Public
and private water testing laboratories.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
22.
Frequency of Response: Three times
per year.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,980.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$275,000, includes $109,000 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 367 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is just an
adjustment to the estimate.

information and data to evaluate the
need for area source National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) required under section
112(k) of the Clean Air Act for the
Plating and Polishing Area Source
Category. If an area source NESHAP is
developed, the collected information
will be used to evaluate the types of
provisions needed to limit HAP
emissions from plating and polishing
operations and to estimate the impacts
of regulatory options.
The EPA’s authority to collect
information is contained in Section 114
of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C 7414).

The EPA will use the collected information and data to evaluate the
need for area source National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) required under section 112(k) of the Clean Air Act
for the Plating and Polishing Area Source Category. If an area source
NESHAP is developed, the collected information will be used to evaluate
the types of provisions needed to limit HAP emissions from plating and
polishing operations and to estimate the impacts of regulatory options.
The EPA's authority to collect information is contained in Section
114 of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C 7414). All information submitted to
EPA pursuant to this ICR for which a claim of confidentiality is made
is safeguarded according to Agency policies in 40 CFR part 2, subpart
B. 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on
the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 12.1
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
