Information Collection Request
Submitted to OMB for Review and
Approval; Comment Request; Title I of
the Marine Protection, Research, and
Sanctuaries Act
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency has submitted an information
collection request (ICR), ‘‘Title I of the
Marine Protection, Research, and
Sanctuaries Act’’ (EPA ICR No. 0824.06,
OMB Control No. 2040–0008) to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
This is a proposed reinstatement of the
ICR (formerly known as ‘‘Ocean
Dumping Regulations—reports and
record keeping to obtain a permit,
request designation, and report on
permitted dumping activities’’), which
is currently expired. Public comments
were previously requested via the
Federal Register (81 FR 484) on January
6, 2016 during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments.
A fuller description of the ICR is given
below, including its estimated burden
and cost to the public. 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.

Abstract: Ocean dumping—the
transportation of any material for the
purpose of dumping in ocean waters—
cannot occur unless a permit is issued
under the Marine Protection, Research,
and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA). EPA is
responsible for issuing ocean dumping
permits for all materials except dredged
material. EPA collects or sponsors the
collection of information for the
purposes of permit issuance, reporting
of emergency dumping to safety of life
at sea, compliance with permit
requirements, including specifically
general permits for burial at sea and for
transportation and disposal of vessels.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Respondents/affected entities may
include any private person or entity, or
State, local or foreign governments.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit,
specifically permit authorization and/or
compliance with permits required under
MPRSA sections 102 and 104, 33 U.S.C.
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
1402 & 1404, and implementing
regulations at 40 CFR parts 220–229.
Estimated number of respondents:
2,767 respondents per year.
Frequency of response: The frequency
of response varies for application and
reporting requirements for different
permits. Other than the general permit
for transportation and disposal of
vessels, response is required once for
each permit application, whether a
single notification to EPA or a permit
application. Depending on the type of
MPRSA permit, a permit application
would be required prior to expiration if
the permittee seeks re-issuance: general
permit (once every seven years); special
permit (once every three years), and
research permit (once every 18 months).
Total estimated burden: 3,207 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $349,157, which
includes $195,857 for capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: EPA estimates
an increase in the number of
respondents from 21 to 2,767 with a
corresponding decrease in total
estimated burden from 27,004 to 3,207
hours as compared to the most recently
approved ICR, which expired January
31, 1992. The estimated increase in the
number of respondents is due to the
significant increase in the number of
entities using the burial at sea and
vessel general permits, which were not
widely used at the time of the earlier
ICR. The estimated decrease in the total
estimated burden is due to the
implementation of the Ocean Dumping
Ban Act of 1988, which led to the
cessation of the dumping of sewage
sludge and industrial wastes. The
respondent burden for these special
permits was high due the potentially
significant impacts from dumping these
wastes, and the data required from the
respondents to ensure permit
compliance.
