Title: Public Water System Supervision Program (Renewal) ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0270.45, OMB Control No. 2040–0090 ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2012. 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 Code of Federal Regulations, 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 Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Program Renewal ICR examines public water system, primacy agency, EPA, and tribal operator certification provider burden and costs for ‘‘cross-cutting’’ recordkeeping and reporting requirements (i.e., the burden and costs for complying with drinking water information requirements that are not VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:29 Mar 12, 2012 Jkt 226001 associated with contaminant-specific rulemakings). These activities which have record keeping and reporting requirements that are mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 142 include the following: Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs), Primacy Regulation Activities, Variance and Exemption Rule (V/E Rule), General State Primacy Activities, Public Notification (PN) and Proficiency Testing (PT) Studies for Drinking Water Laboratories. The information collection activities for both the Operator Certification/Expense Reimbursement Grant Program and the Capacity Development Program are driven by the grant withholding and reporting provisions under § 1419 and § 1420, respectively, of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Although the Tribal Operator Certification Program is voluntary, the information collection is driven by grant eligibility requirements outlined in the Drinking Water Infrastructure Grant Tribal Set-Aside Program Final Guidelines and the Tribal Drinking Water Operator Certification Program Guidelines. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4.06 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: Owners/operators of public water systems who must report to the primacy agency. Primacy agencies, which include States, Tribes (if they have been authorized to act as primacy agencies), and EPA Regions that act as primacy agencies in Indian country and States that do not have primacy. Laboratories conducting PT to achieve state certification, which permits them to analyze samples for compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs). (PT vendors are not considered respondents because PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 they are paid for their incurred burden and costs via the prices that laboratories pay for the PT standards.) Estimated Number of Respondents: 154,938. Frequency of Response: Varies by requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually, biennially, and every 3, 6, and 9 years). Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,113,408. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $187,647,000, which includes $40,019,000 in capital and operating & maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 199,864 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due primarily to consultations with respondents which yielded more accurate estimates of the burden for various activities. These were partially offset by burden decreases from a smaller respondent universe and reduced reporting due to a new enforcement tracking system and the discontinuation of a grant program.

    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 
Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the 
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the

minimum, semiannually.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports 
and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local

required information consists of emissions data and other information 
that have been determined to be private.
    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required

    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping

install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously-
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently

information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of 
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of kraft pulp 
mills.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 106.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 16,086.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $5,723,477, which is comprised of 
$1,541,377 in labor costs, $344,900 in capital/startup costs, and 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of $3,837,200.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most 
recently approved ICR is due to two adjustments: (1) There is an 
increase in the average number of respondents expected to become 
subject to the standards over the next three years; and (2) this ICR 
uses updates labor rates for each of the three labor categories.
    The increase in O&M costs is due to an increase in the average 
number of respondents expected to become subject to the standards over 
the next three years.
    There is also an increase in Agency costs, which is due to the use 
of the most updated labor rates.
