These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 142. The following regulations are included: the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 1 DBPR), the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 2 DBPR), the Chemical Phase Rules (Phases II/IIB/V), the Radionuclides Rule, Disinfectant Residual Monitoring and Associated Activities under the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR),1 the Arsenic Rule and the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), including the Lead and Copper Rule Short Term Revisions. Future chemical-related rulemakings will be added to this consolidated ICR after the regulations are promulgated lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1 Includes only SWTR components relating to disinfectant residual monitoring and associated activities. All remaining SWTR requirements are included in the Microbial Rules ICR. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:18 Mar 23, 2023 Jkt 259001 and the initial, rule-specific, ICRs are due to expire. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Public water systems and primacy agencies. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 142. Estimated number of respondents: 144,197 (total). Frequency of response: Varies by requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually).

    Abstract: The Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Program ICR 
examines public water systems, primacy agencies (i.e., states and 
tribes with primary enforcement authority) and tribal operator 
certification provider burden, and costs for ``cross-cutting'' 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements (i.e., the burden and costs 
for complying with drinking water information requirements that are not 
associated with contaminant-specific rulemakings). The following 
activities have recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are 
mandatory for compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 
40 CFR parts 141 and 142: the Consumer Confidence Report Rule (CCR), 
the Variance and Exemption Rule (V/E Rule), General State Primacy 
Activities, the Public Notification Rule (PN), and Proficiency Testing 
Studies for Drinking Water Laboratories. The information collection 
activities for both the Operator Certification and the Capacity 
Development Program are driven by the grant withholding and reporting 
provisions under sections 1419 and 1420, respectively, of the Safe 
Drinking Water Act. The information collection for the Tribal Operator 
Certification Program is driven by grant eligibility requirements 
outlined in the Drinking Water Infrastructure Grant Tribal Set-Aside 
Program Final Guidelines and the Tribal Drinking Water Operator 
Certification Program Guidelines.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: New and existing public water 
systems and primacy agencies.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory for compliance with 
40 CFR parts 141 and 142.
    Estimated number of respondents: 146,099 (total).
    Frequency of response: Varies by requirement (i.e., on occasion, 
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annually).
    Total estimated burden: 3,421,278 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $208,214,000 (per year), includes $37,756,000 
in operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 222,093 hours in 
the total estimated annual respondent burden compared with the ICR 
currently approved by OMB. This decrease is a result of updating 
relevant baseline information for each rule with the most current and 
accurate information available (e.g., public water system inventory); 
and updating burden to incorporate the results of consultation with 
stakeholders. Where appropriate and available, estimated violation and 
other associated rates have also been updated to reflect current 
information on rule compliance.
