This ICR identifies the types of activities regulated and calculates the burden and associated costs of the revisions to be included in the first final rule, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES): Specific Provisions Affecting Applications and Program Updates (RIN 2040–AF25), and corresponding updated NPDES permit application forms. Form numbers: OMB. No. 2040–0004; OMB. No. 2040–0086; OMB. No. 2040– 0188; OMB. No. 2040–0211; OMB. No. 2040–0250; OMB. No. 2040–0284; OMB. No. 1004–0189; OMB. No. 0596–0082. Respondents/affected entities: The respondents affected by this collection activity include: The EPA; authorized state, territorial, and tribal programs; and the regulated community. Respondent’s obligation to respond: The collection is required pursuant to CWA section 402, as implemented by the revisions to 40 CFR parts 122, 124, and 125. Compliance with the updated application requirements and corresponding updated application forms is mandatory. The opportunity for NPDES permitting authorities to provide public notice of NPDES permit actions using the internet in lieu of the newspaper is voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 20,663 applicants/permittees; 20,019 state, territory, and tribal governments; 644 by the EPA (total: 41,326). Frequency of response: The burden would be realized once within a fiveyear period, with the assumption that each permit would be reapplied for and renewed once every five years. Total estimated burden: A reduction of 19,305 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) Total estimated cost: A savings of $2,524,064 (per year), includes a savings of $1,419,673 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in estimates: There is an overall decrease of 19,305 hours in the total estimated respondent burden. This decrease is due to: Estimated burden reduction to both permittees and permitting authorities resulting from revised application forms that are easier to follow and redesigned to reduce confusion and support completion; permitting authorities exercising the option to publicly notice permitting decisions through public websites rather than through publication in newspapers, and; additional minor reductions in burden associated with permitting authority review of applications submitted by POTWs with pretreatment programs and applications submitted by permittees indicating the use of cooling water. These changes are VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:54 Aug 31, 2018 Jkt 244001 due to changes in program requirements, as well as updated and improved NPDES permit application forms. Dated: August 27, 2018.
