ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2103.03, OMB Control No. 2040–0253. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2007. 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: The Bioterrorism Act requires each community water system serving a population of more than 3,300 people to conduct a vulnerability assessment of its water system and to prepare or revise an emergency response plan that incorporates the results of the vulnerability assessment. These requirements are mandatory under the statute. EPA will use the information collected under this ICR to determine whether community water systems have conducted vulnerability assessments and prepared or revised emergency response plans in compliance with that Act. EPA is required to protect all vulnerability assessments and all information derived from them from disclosure to unauthorized parties and has established an Information Protection Protocol describing how that will be accomplished. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 237 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; PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: Community Water Systems serving a population of more than 3,300 people. Estimated Number of Respondents: 80. Frequency of Response: Once. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 8,994. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $710,460, including $294 in annual O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,904,935 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease reflects EPA’s need to collect documents that were included in the original estimate, but still remain to be submitted to the Agency. Dated: September 21, 2007 Joseph A.

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

    Abstract: The Bioterrorism Act requires each community water system 
serving a population of more than 3,300 people to conduct a 
vulnerability assessment of its water system and to prepare or revise 
an emergency response plan that incorporates the results of the 
vulnerability assessment. These requirements are mandatory under the 
statute. EPA will use the information collected under this ICR to 
determine whether community water systems have conducted vulnerability 
assessments and prepared or revised emergency response plans in 
compliance with that Act. EPA is required to protect all vulnerability 
assessments and all information derived from them from disclosure to 
unauthorized parties and has established an Information Protection 
Protocol describing how that will be accomplished.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 237 
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: Community Water Systems serving a 
population of more than 3,300 people.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 80.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 8,994.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $710,460, including $294 in annual O&M 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,904,935 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in 
the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease reflects EPA's 
need to collect documents that were included in the original estimate, 
but still remain to be submitted to the Agency.
