subsequent phases developed. EPA is
considering utilizing pre-tests, pilots, or
other techniques to obtain stakeholder
input in the development of the
subsequent phases of this study which
may not need to be conducted using 308
authority.
The rationale for conducting this
effort as a mandatory census is two-fold.
Currently there exist multiple, disparate
databases containing information
concerning various subsets of treatment
facilities; however, each of these
databases is incomplete with respect to
identifying all facilities. In addition,
each database has missing or incomplete
data fields. Second, historic precedent
indicates that voluntary survey designs
have extremely low response rates and
issues with bias. Both of these facts
make getting an accurate, national
profile of POTWs infeasible without
making it mandatory to respond. EPA
also intends to conduct up to 40 POTW
site visits and up to 100 state and small
municipality association phone contacts
to solicit information on industry
terminology, typical treatment trains
and modes of operation, and nutrient
removal technologies and operating
practices, and this ICR addresses these
activities as well.
EPA is limiting the information
requested by the census to that which is
necessary to create a complete
population of POTWs and to identify
basic information about that population.
Questions include those necessary to
identify and stratify the universe of
POTWs and, within that population, the
secondary treatment POTWs not
designed specifically to remove nitrogen
and phosphorus. A draft of the screener
is available at Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OW–2016–0404 as part of today’s
request for comments (see Instructions
section of this notice for further
information).
The draft screener makes use of
multiple choice and yes/no questions,
with the intention to use drop down
menus and checkboxes from which
respondents will choose the best
answer. EPA is not including openended questions in the screener
questionnaire which would likely be
unwieldy due to the number and
expected variation of responses and the
extensive follow-up needed when
entering the responses into a database.
EPA intends to design the screener
questionnaire as a web-based survey
that POTWs can fill out and submit
online. EPA intends to require the
submittal of a signed certification form
that will either be uploaded with the
screener, or may be mailed directly to
the Agency. EPA will provide a
mechanism for POTWs to respond with

a mailed response if they cannot access
the internet. EPA is specifically
soliciting comments on simplifying the
census format. In addition, EPA is
soliciting comments on EPA’s approach
to developing the mailing list, and has
made a draft available in the Docket (see
Instructions section of this notice for
further information).
Burden statement: This information
collection is a one-time event. The total
respondent reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 3.5 hours per
response for 90 percent of the
respondents and 1.5 hours per response
for 10 percent of the respondents.
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. The burden estimate
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;
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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: No more than 20,000
POTWs, 40 POTWs for site visits, 100
state or small municipal association
contacts.
Frequency of response: One-time data
collection.
Estimated total average burden for
each respondent: POTW screener survey
response—3.5 hours for 90 percent of
the respondents ($147) and 1.5 hours for
10 percent of the respondents ($65);
POTW site visit respondent—8 hours,
$224; State/Small Municipal
Association contact—1 hour, $55.
Estimated total respondent burden
hours: 66,420.
Estimated total respondent costs:
$2,792,713. This estimate reflects unit
costs for labor and operational and
maintenance costs.
What is the next step in the process for
this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR, the
screener questionnaire, and its approach
as appropriate. During this public
comment period, EPA will be working
with stakeholders to refine the survey
instrument and will revise the
instrument as appropriate after

considering the comments expressed
during those interactions and in
response to this notice. The final ICR
package will then be submitted to OMB
for review and approval pursuant to 5
CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and a 30 day opportunity to
submit comments to OMB on this ICR.
