Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2017 / Notices
402(p); 40 (CFR) Parts 122, 123, 124,
and 125 (and Parts 501 and 503 for
Biosolids); and the Great Lakes Critical
Programs Act (CPA).
Estimated number of respondents:
935,020 total (934,383 permittees and
637 States/Tribes/Territories).
Frequency of response: Varies
depending on the specific response
activity and can range from ongoing and
monthly to once every 5 years.
Total estimated burden: 28,239,262
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,476,244,044
(per year), includes $43,659,009
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a
net increase of 836,289 (3%) hours in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with the combined burden of
the component ICRs currently approved
by OMB. This change in the total is
primarily due to a combination of both
burden increases and decreases in the
component ICRs. Minor changes in the
estimated burden occurred for five of
the eight component ICRs (NPDES ICR,
Pesticide Applicators ICR, National
Pretreatment Program ICR, Cooling
Water Intake Structures Phase I New
Facilities ICR, and the Cooling Water
Intake Structures Phase III Facilities
ICR). Significant changes occurred for
three of the eight component ICRs
(Consolidated Animal Sectors ICR,
Cooling Water Intake Structures Existing
Facility ICR, and Electronic Reporting
Rule ICR). These significant changes
included: (1) A decrease of 12 percent
in the animal sector labor burden due to
revised EPA estimates based on changes
in industry practice, adherence to USDA
guidelines, and industry consolidation
(OMB Control No. 2040–0250); (2) an
increase of 140 percent in the cooling
water intake structures existing facilities
labor burden due to the coincidence of
the period of greatest implementation
burden with the three year ICR period
(OMB Control No. 2040–0257); and (3)
a decrease of 164 percent in the
electronic reporting rule labor burden
due to the reduced need for data input
due to increased participation in
electronic filing of forms and reports as
the rule is implemented (OMB Control
No. 2020–0035).

Approval, State of Arizona
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces EPA’s
approval of the State of Arizona’s
request to revise its National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation EPA-authorized
program to allow electronic reporting.
DATES: EPA approves the authorized
program revision for the State of
Arizona’s National Primary Drinking
Water Regulations Implementation
program as of October 23, 2017, if no

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On July 26, 2017, the Arizona
Department of Environmental Quality
(ADEQ) submitted an application titled
‘‘Compliance Monitoring Data Portal’’
for revision to its EPA-approved
drinking water program under title 40
CFR to allow new electronic reporting.
EPA reviewed ADEQ’s request to revise
its EPA-authorized program and, based
on this review, EPA determined that the
application met the standards for
approval of authorized program revision
set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In
accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this
notice of EPA’s decision to approve
Arizona’s request to revise its Part 142—
National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations Implementation program to
allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR
part 141 is being published in the
Federal Register.
ADEQ was notified of EPA’s
determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program
listed above.
Also, in today’s notice, EPA is
informing interested persons that they
may request a public hearing on EPA’s
action to approve the State of Arizona’s
request to revise its authorized public
water system program under 40 CFR
part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR
3.1000(f). Requests for a hearing must be
submitted to EPA within 30 days of
publication of today’s Federal Register
notice. Such requests should include
the following information:
(1) The name, address and telephone
number of the individual, organization
or other entity requesting a hearing;
(2) A brief statement of the requesting
person’s interest in EPA’s
determination, a brief explanation as to
why EPA should hold a hearing, and
any other information that the
requesting person wants EPA to
consider when determining whether to
grant the request;
(3) The signature of the individual
making the request, or, if the request is
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
made on behalf of an organization or
other entity, the signature of a
responsible official of the organization
or other entity.
In the event a hearing is requested
and granted, EPA will provide notice of
the hearing in the Federal Register not
less than 15 days prior to the scheduled
hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial
requests for hearing may be denied by
EPA. Following such a public hearing,
EPA will review the record of the
hearing and issue an order either
affirming today’s determination or
rescinding such determination. If no
timely request for a hearing is received
and granted, EPA’s approval of the State
of Arizona’s request to revise its part
142—National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations Implementation program to
allow electronic reporting will become
effective 30 days after today’s notice is
published, pursuant to CROMERR
section 3.1000(f)(4).
