CWA section 401 requires project proponents to submit project specific information to certifying authorities. Certifying authorities may act on project specific information by either granting, granting with conditions, denying, or waiving section 401 certification. CWA section 401 requires certifying authorities to submit information to the relevant federal licensing or permitting agency to indicate the action taken on a request for certification. If the certifying authority fails or refuses to act on a request for certification, within a reasonable period of time (which shall not exceed one year) after receipt of such request, the certification requirements of this subsection shall be waived with respect to such Federal application. The EPA is also responsible for providing notification to certain neighboring or downstream states and tribes affected by a discharge from a federally licensed or permitted project under section 401(a)(2). Information collected directly collected by the EPA under section 401 in support of the section 402 permit program is already captured under an existing ICR (OMB Control Number 2040–0004, EPA ICR Number 0229.23) and therefore is not included in this analysis.

Estimated number of respondents: 97,119 (total). Frequency of response: Per Federal Application. Total estimated burden: 1,067,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $64 million (per year), includes $8 million annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 739,000 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. There is an increase in the total estimated respondent burden, number VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:27 Feb 27, 2020 Jkt 250001 of respondents, and number of responses compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB due to refinements in how the estimates are calculated.
