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 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:28 Jan 09, 2012 Jkt 226001 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: EPA, in partnership with states, is conducting the State Water Quality Program Management Resource Analysis to enumerate current and future expenditures and resources for the administration and management of state water quality programs, and to quantify the resource needs for the administration and management of state water quality programs to implement the Clean Water Act (CWA). This effort builds on an expenditure and resource needs data collection effort conducted by EPA in collaboration with the states in 1998 and 2000. EPA requires this information to comprehend resource expenditures and needs for the administration and management of the water quality programs under 33 U.S.C. 125 et seq. This effort, supported by EPA and the states, is necessary to develop strategies for better managing state water quality programs that implement the CWA, thus ensuring the long-term sustainability, efficiency, and effectiveness of these programs. This effort also helps states and EPA to effectively target resources to meet EPA’s FY 2011–2015 strategic goals of protecting the nation’s waters and enforcing environmental laws. The data collection will facilitate creation of a detailed activity-based workload model to serve as a long-term budgeting, program management, and progress tracking tool for the states and EPA to use in the future. This is a onetime collection effort by the Office of Wastewater Management and responses to this ICR are voluntary. This information will be collected by EPA and made available to the states and to the public in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 63 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 PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1485 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: State water quality agencies. Estimated Number of Respondents: 20. Frequency of Response: Once, Annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,252. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $49,740, which includes annual labor costs only, since no capital or operation and maintenance costs are associated with this ICR. Changes in the Estimates: This is a new collection, thus there is no currently approved ICR. Dated: January 4, 2012. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    ICR Status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 
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

    Abstract: EPA, in partnership with states, is conducting the State 
Water Quality Program Management Resource Analysis to enumerate current 
and future expenditures and resources for the administration and 
management of state water quality programs, and to quantify the 
resource needs for the administration and management of state water 
quality programs to implement the Clean Water Act (CWA). This effort 
builds on an expenditure and resource needs data collection effort 
conducted by EPA in collaboration with the states in 1998 and 2000.
    EPA requires this information to comprehend resource expenditures 
and needs for the administration and management of the water quality 
programs under 33 U.S.C. 125 et seq. This effort, supported by EPA and 
the states, is necessary to develop strategies for better managing 
state water quality programs that implement the CWA, thus ensuring the 
long-term sustainability, efficiency, and effectiveness of these 
programs. This effort also helps states and EPA to effectively target 
resources to meet EPA's FY 2011-2015 strategic goals of protecting the 
nation's waters and enforcing environmental laws.
    The data collection will facilitate creation of a detailed 
activity-based workload model to serve as a long-term budgeting, 
program management, and progress tracking tool for the states and EPA 
to use in the future. This is a one-time collection effort by the 
Office of Wastewater Management and responses to this ICR are 
voluntary.
    This information will be collected by EPA and made available to the 
states and to the public in accordance with the requirements of the 
Freedom of Information Act.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 63 
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: State water quality agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 20.
    Frequency of Response: Once, Annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,252.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $49,740, which includes annual labor 
costs only, since no capital or operation and maintenance costs are 
associated with this ICR.
    Changes in the Estimates: This is a new collection, thus there is 
no currently approved ICR.
