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, and 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 Information Collection Request (ICR) renewal is being submitted for the NSPS for Sewage Sludge Treatment Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart O), which were promulgated on February 28, 1974. These standards apply to each incinerator which combusts wastes containing more than 10 percent of sewage sludge (dry basis) produced by municipal sewage treatment plants, or each incinerator which charges more than 1000 kg (2205 lb.) per day municipal sewage sludge (dry basis), and any facility that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after June 11, 1973. Owners and operators of facilities subject to NSPS must notify EPA of construction, reconstruction, anticipated and actual startup dates, and results of performance tests. Records of performance test results, shutdowns, and malfunctions must be maintained. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 55 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.

Abstract: Discharge Monitoring Report-Quality Assurance (DMR–QA) participation is mandatory for major and selected minor permit holders under the Clean Water Act’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Section 308. The DMR–QA study is designed to evaluate the entire process used by permittees to routinely report monitoring results in Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). The study addresses the analytic ability of the laboratories that perform chemical, microbiological and whole effluent toxicity (WET) analyses required in the NPDES permits and the ability to properly report these results in the DMRs. Under DMR–QA, the permit holder is responsible for obtaining ungraded results of analyses of test samples performed by in-house and/or contract laboratories, and submitting these results to the appropriate federal or state NPDES regulatory authority and the commercial proficiency testing (PT) provider that supplies the test samples. Permit holders are responsible for submitting corrective action reports to the appropriate regulatory authority. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 6.3 hours per response. Burden means the total time, E:\FR\FM\11MYN1.SGM 11MYN1
