    Abstract: This ICR is for voluntary information collections under 
the national fish advisory program. These information collections would 
help EPA advance equitable and effective fish advisory programs that 
protect recreational and subsistence fishers and other underserved 
populations from consumption of contaminated fish. This information is 
collected under the authority of section 104 of the Clean Water Act, 
which provides for the collection of information to be used to protect 
human health and the environment. The information to be collected on a 
voluntary basis would include the following: Fish advisory information 
and fish tissue data collected to assist in making advisory decisions; 
state or tribal fish program information for the National Fish Advisory 
Program Evaluation; and, technical program information from time to 
time. EPA would analyze the information to determine what science, 
guidance, technical assistance, and nationwide information are needed 
to help state and tribes have equitable and effective fish advisory 
programs. In addition, EPA would also use the information provided to 
facilitate information sharing and to ensure guidance documents are 
useful and technically accurate.
    This ICR renews the EPA ICR Number 1959.07, OMB Control No. 2040-
0226, expiration April 30, 2022. This ICR renewal describes the 
estimated burden for states and authorized tribes associated with the 
information collections related to National Fish Program.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Potential respondents to this ICR 
include: The 50 states, the District of Columbia, the five territories, 
authorized tribes with EPA-approved WQS, and Great Lakes Fish and 
Wildlife Commission.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary (Clean Water Act, 
Section 104).
    Estimated number of respondents: Up to 103 (total).
    Frequency of response: Once in 3-year period for some collections; 
periodically for one collection.
    Total estimated burden: 1,181 hours per year. Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $64,766.66 per year. There are no capital or 
operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is increase of 603 hours in the total 
estimated annual respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to EPA's efforts to advance 
equity and environmental justice in fish advisory programs. EPA is 
adding information collections to help EPA determine what science, 
guidance, technical assistance, and nationwide information are needed 
to help state and tribes have equitable and effective fish advisory 
programs that protect recreational and subsistence fishers and other 
underserved populations from consumption of contaminated fish. In 
addition, EPA would also use the information provided to facilitate 
information sharing and to ensure guidance documents are useful and 
technically accurate. The increase pertains to the addition of three 
voluntary information collections as part of implementing the EPA 
national advisory program: Information on state and tribal fish 
advisories; state and tribal program information for the National Fish 
Advisory Program Evaluation; and, technical program information from 
time to time.
