Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 139 / Thursday, July 20, 2006 / Notices
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on July 31, 2006. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
are displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: This ICR calculates the
burden and costs associated with the
NPDES and ELG regulations for
Concentrated Animal Feeding
Operations (CAFOs). These regulations
regulate land application of manure,
litter and wastewater generated at CAFO
facilities. The rule requires all facilities
defined as a CAFO to apply for a NPDES
permit.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average less than 18 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 which have
subsequently changed; 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:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are owners and operators of
Concentrated Animal Feeding
Operations (CAFOs).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
24,080
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,500,000 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$78,660,000 includes $440,000 for
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:44 Jul 19, 2006
Jkt 208001
capital investment and $8,680,000 for
O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The burden
estimate has increased due to growth in
the industry and trends towards
consolidation into larger facilities. As a
result calculations were revised to
accommodate this.
Dated: July 12, 2006.

these waters a ‘‘No Discharge Area’’

protection and enhancement of the
quality of some or all of the waters
within such States require greater
environmental protection, such State
may completely prohibit the discharge
from all vessels of any sewage, whether
treated or not, into such waters, except
that no such prohibition shall apply
until the Administrator determines that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for such water to which such
prohibition would apply.
The information submitted to EPA by
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
certifies that there are six pumpout
facilities at four locations located within
