Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 102 / Wednesday, May 28, 2014 / Notices Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (Pub. L. 92–500). Estimated number of respondents: 1,115 (1,068 facility respondents and 47 state respondents). Frequency of response: Varies (monthly, quarterly, or annually; every 5 years). Total estimated burden: Total estimated burden is 634,596 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $37,725,394 (per year), includes $8,525,907annualized capital and operation & maintenance costs (all costs in 2011 dollars). Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 388,925 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to changes in program requirements. The currently approved ICR is for electric generators with a DIF of at least 50 mgd and that were subject to the 2004 Phase II rule. Many of these facilities have already met most of the new data collection requirements of the revised rule. Newly affected facilities have significantly fewer comprehensive requirements for data collection than was required under the Phase II rule, such as less frequent biological data collection. Further, while the overall universe of affected facilities has increased, more facilities in the affected universe already meet the requirements of the revised rule. Dated: May 19, 2014.
