Abstract: The collection of information is necessary in order to receive applications for credit assistance pursuant to section 5024 of the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) of 2014, 33 U.S.C. 3903. The purpose of the WIFIA program is to provide Federal credit assistance in the form of direct loans and loan guarantees to eligible water infrastructure projects. WIFIA requires that an eligible entity submit to the Administrator an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information, as the Secretary or the Administrator may require to receive assistance under WIFIA. In order to satisfy these requirements, EPA must collect an application from prospective borrowers seeking funding. The Letters of Interest and Applications collected from prospective borrowers through this solicitation will be used by the EPA, WIFIA program staff, and reviewers to evaluate applications for credit assistance under the WIFIA eligibility requirements and selection criteria. Form Numbers: SWIFIA Application—6100–030; SWIFIA Letter of Interest—6100–031; WIFIA VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:18 Oct 29, 2019 Jkt 250001 Application—6100–032; WIFIA Letter of Interest—6100–033. Respondents/affected entities: Corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, federal, state, or local government entities, tribal governments or a consortium of tribal governments, and state infrastructure finance authorities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: The collection is required to obtain credit assistance pursuant to section 5024 of WIFIA, 33 U.S.C. 3903. Estimated number of respondents: 100 per year (total). Frequency of response: Once. Total estimated burden: 10,825 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $14,946,754 (per year), which includes 14,500,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 9,325 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to EPA receiving more Letters of Interest and applications than it originally estimated during program inception. Initially, EPA estimated the program would receive 20 LOIs and 5 applications. This was based on the amount of budget authority initially authorized for WIFIA. However, in 2017, the program received 43 LOIs and invited 12 prospective borrowers to apply. In 2018, the program received 62 LOIs and invited 39 prospective borrowers to apply. In addition, EPA is including the newly authorized State Revolving Fund WIFIA (SWIFIA) program as part of this ICR renewal. EPA estimates that WIFIA will receive 5 LOIs and 5 applications through SWIFIA. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: As required by the Clean Air Act, EPA has regulations establishing emission standards and other requirements for various classes of vehicles, engines, and evaporative emission component. These regulations require that compliance be demonstrated prior to EPA granting a ‘‘Certificate of Conformity’’. EPA charges fees for administering this certification program. In 2004 the fees program was expanded to include nonroad categories of vehicles and engines, such as several categories of marine engines, locomotives, non-road recreational vehicles, and many nonroad compression-ignition and spark-ignition engines. Manufacturers and importers of covered vehicles, engines and components are required to pay the applicable certification fees prior to their certification applications being reviewed by the Agency. Under section 208 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7542(c)) all information, other than trade secret processes or methods, must be publicly available. Information about fee payments is treated as confidential information prior to certification. Form Numbers: EPA MVECP Fee Filing Form (3520–29). Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or importers of passenger cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavy duty truck engines, nonroad vehicles or engines, and evaporative emissions components. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR part 1027). Estimated number of respondents: 611 (total). Frequency of response: Annually. Total estimated burden: 1,019 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $67,445 (per year), includes $11,411 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 92 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is based on the increase in the number applications for certification and the associated fees, updates and corrections that are filed by the manufacturer as part of the fee payment process.

Abstract: In 2016, EPA issued regulations establishing a process for federally recognized tribes to obtain treatment in a similar manner as states (TAS) for purposes of administrating the water quality restoration provisions of Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 303(d), including establishing lists of impaired waters on their reservations and developing total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). The CWA does not require tribes to administer the CWA Section 303(d) program. However, tribes seeking to be authorized must apply for and be found eligible for TAS through the procedures described in the regulations. Section 303(d) of the CWA requires states, territories, and authorized tribes to identify and establish a priority ranking for waters that do not meet EPA-approved or promulgated water quality standards (WQS) following the implementation of technology-based controls. For waters so identified, Section 303(d) requires states, territories, and authorized tribes to establish TMDLs in accordance with their priority ranking for those pollutants the Administrator identified as suitable for TMDL calculation. A TMDL is the calculation and allocation to point and nonpoint sources of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet applicable WQS, with a margin of safety. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Any federally recognized tribe with a reservation. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: Five. Frequency of response: Once for initial TAS status, thereafter biennially E:\FR\FM\30OCN1.SGM 30OCN1
