Abstract: This ICR calculates the incremental increase in burden and costs associated with implementation of the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) public notification requirements for CSO permittees in the Great Lakes Basin approved during the Public Notice Requirements for Combined Sewer Overflow Discharges to the Great Lakes rulemaking. In 2018, EPA established PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11285 public notification requirements for permittees authorized to discharge from a CSO to the Great Lakes Basin [83 FR 712]. These requirements address: (1) Signage; (2) notification to local public health department and other potentially affected public entities; (3) notification to the public; and (4) annual notice. Additionally, permittees are required to develop a public notification plan and seek and consider input on these plans from local public health departments and other potentially affected public entities. The public notification plans also provide state permit writers with detailed information needed to write permit conditions. The rule protects public health by ensuring timely notification to the public and to public health departments, public water systems and other potentially affected public entities, including Indian tribes. It provides additional specificity beyond existing public notification requirements to ensure timely and consistent communication to the public regarding CSO discharges to the Great Lakes Basin. Timely notice may allow the public and affected public entities to take steps to reduce the public’s potential exposure to pathogens associated with human sewage, which can cause a wide variety of health effects, including gastrointestinal, skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurological, and wound infections. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: CSO permittees in the Great Lakes Basin, Great Lakes States (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory. 40 CFR 122.38. Estimated number of respondents: 164 (157 permittees and 7 States). Frequency of response: Responses include one-time implementation activities, such as signage, activities that occur once per year, such as providing annual notice, and initial and follow-up activities that would occur during and after CSO discharge events. Total estimated burden: 8,694 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $426,059 (per year), includes $5,412 in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is an estimated net decrease of 1,607 burden hours since the prior approved ICR. The decrease in labor hours from the prior ICR is due to the completion of capital activities performed during startup performed during the prior ICR. Also, one permittee (Woodville, Ohio NPDES Permit No. OH0020591) separated the E:\FR\FM\24FEN1.SGM 24FEN1 11286 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 24, 2021 / Notices city’s combined sewer system and therefore, is no longer within the scope of the rule and this updated ICR. There was an increase in labor costs ($31,841) due to a projected increase in labor base wages and total compensation (i.e., benefits). There was a decrease in nonlabor costs (¥$65,038) due to a decrease in capital costs after the initial startup period of the prior ICR. Overall, total burden hours decreased by 1,607 hours and total burden cost decreased by $31,048 for the three-year period.
