Section 106(e) requires that states annually update monitoring data and use it in their Section 305(b) report. Section 314(a) requires states to report on the condition of their publicly-owned lakes within the Section 305(b) report. EPA’s Assessment and Watershed Protection Division (AWPD) works with its Regional counterparts to review and approve or disapprove State Section 303(d) lists and TMDLs from 56 respondents (the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the five Territories). Section 303(d) specifically requires States to develop lists and TMDLs ‘‘from time to time,’’ and EPA to review and approve or disapprove the lists and the TMDLs. EPA also collects State 305(b) reports from 59 respondents (the 50 States, the District of Columbia, five Territories, and 3 River Basin Commissions). During the period covered by this ICR renewal, respondents will: Complete their 2016 Section 305(b) reports and 2016 Section 303(d) lists; complete their 2018 Section 305(b) reports and 2018 Section 303(d) lists; transmit annual electronic updates of ambient monitoring data via the Water Quality Exchange; and continue to develop TMDLs according to their established schedules. EPA will prepare biennial updates on assessed and impaired waters for Congress and the public for the 2016 reporting cycle and for the 2018 cycle, and EPA will review 303(d) list and TMDL submissions from respondents. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: States and Territories. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (Clean Water Act Sections 305(b), 303(d), 314(a), and 106(e)). Estimated number of respondents: 59 (total). Frequency of response: Biennial. Total estimated burden: 3,740,017 (per year) hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $203,340,984 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change of hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR previously approved by OMB. The EPA is currently designing the Water Quality Framework, which is a new way of integrating the EPA’s data and information systems to more effectively support reporting and tracking water quality protection and restoration actions. The Framework will streamline VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:59 Dec 29, 2015 Jkt 238001 water quality assessment and reporting by reducing transactions associated with paper copy reviews and increasing electronic data exchange. The Framework composts with the EPA’s E-Enterprise Initiative, which seeks to assess and reformulate the EPA’s business process to reduce burden through the improved use of technology. The EPA expects that the Framework will reduce reporting burden for integrated water quality inventory reports and will revise this ICR before the new information system is implemented for the 2018 reporting cycle.
