Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 28, 2018 / Notices Corps. To the contrary, EPA has the authority whenever it makes the requisite finding of unacceptable adverse effect. 33 U.S.C. 1344(c); 40 CFR 231.1(a) & (c); see also Mingo Logan Coal Co. v. EPA, 714 F.3d 608, 613 (DC Cir. 2013). As such, EPA need not withdraw the Proposed Determination on the basis of a lack of statutory authority because EPA had authority to issue the Proposed Determination. VI. Further Proceedings EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR 231.5(a) provide a specific time period for the Regional Administrator to decide whether to withdraw a Proposed Determination or prepare a Recommended Determination. As explained above, the Agency has decided not to withdraw the Proposed Determination at this time and is suspending this withdrawal proceeding and leaving the Proposed Determination in place. As previously noted, however, under the terms of the May 2017 settlement agreement, Region 10 may not forward a signed Recommended Determination, if such a decision is made, before either May 11, 2021, or until public notice of a final EIS on PLP’s CWA Section 404 permit application regarding the Pebble deposit, whichever comes first. The Agency intends at a future time to solicit public comment on what further steps, if any, the Agency should take in the section 404(c) process in order to prevent unacceptable adverse effects to the watershed’s world-class fisheries in light of the permit application that has now been submitted to the Corps. EPA will review and consider any other relevant information that becomes available during the interim. EPA has determined that there is good cause under 40 CFR 231.8 to extend the regulatory time frames in 40 CFR 231.5(a) in order to allow for an additional public comment period and to align with the timeframes established in the settlement agreement.

Abstract: Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that each state (a term that includes states, commonwealths, tribes and territories) that has primary enforcement authority under the SDWA shall prepare, make readily available to the public, and submit to the Administrator of EPA, an annual report of violations of national primary drinking water regulations in the state. These Annual State Public Water System Compliance Reports are to include violations of maximum contaminant levels, treatment requirements, variances and exemptions, and monitoring requirements determined to be significant by the Administrator after consultation with the states. To minimize a state’s burden in preparing its annual statutorily-required report, EPA issued guidance that explains what Section 1414(c)(3)(A) requires and provides model language and reporting templates. EPA also annually makes available to the states a computer query that generates for each state (from information states are already separately required to submit to EPA’s national database on a quarterly basis) the required violations information in a table consistent with the reporting template in EPA’s guidance. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: States that have primacy enforcement authority and meet the definition of ‘‘state’’ under the SDWA. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory Section 1414 (c)(3)(A) of SDWA. Estimated number of respondents: 55 (total). Frequency of response: Annually. Total estimated burden: 4,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $470,000 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

    Changes in estimates: There is no change of hours in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB. This universe of respondents remains the same. The changes in 
costs are due to inflation and an increase in wages for respondents, 
rounded to 3 significant figures.
