EPA ICR No. 0270.46, OW-2011-0443 Public Water System Supervision 
Program Renewal Information Collection Request

    Abstract: The Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Program 
Renewal ICR examines public water system, primacy agency 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 
associated with contaminant-specific rulemakings). The following 
activities have recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are 
mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 142: The Consumer 
Confidence Report Rule (CCR), the Variance and Exemption Rule (V/E 
Rule), General State Primacy Activities, the Public Notification Rule 
(PN) and Proficiency Testing Studies for Drinking Water Laboratories. 
The information collection activities for both the Operator 
Certification Program and the Capacity Development Program are driven 
by the grant withholding and reporting provisions under sections 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.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are new and existing public water systems and primacy 
agencies.
