Water Quality Inventory Reports 

(Renewal) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘National Water Quality Inventory 

Reports (Renewal)’’ (EPA ICR No. 

1560.11, OMB Control No. 2040–0071) 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Before submitting the ICR to OMB, EPA 

is soliciting public comments on 

specific aspects of the proposed 

information collection as described 

below. This is a request for renewal of 

an existing collection. An Agency may 

not conduct or sponsor and a person is 

not required to respond to a collection 

of information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 8, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OW–2003–0026, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to OW-Docket@

epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington,

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The Clean Water Act section 

305(b) reports contain information on 

the water quality standards attainment 

status of assessed waters, and, when 

waters are impaired, the pollutants and 

potential sources affecting water quality. 

This information helps track State 

progress in addressing water pollution. 

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act 

requires States to identify and rank 

waters that cannot meet water quality 

standards (WQS) following the 

implementation of technology-based 

controls. Under section 303(d), States 

are also required to establish total 

maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for 

listed waters not meeting standards as a 

result of pollutant discharges. In 

developing the section 303(d) lists, 

States are required to consider various 

sources of water quality related data and 

information, including the section 

305(b) State water quality reports. 

Section 106(e) requires that states 

annually update monitoring data and 

use it in their section 305(b) report. 

Section 314(a) requires states to report 

on the condition of their publiclyowned lakes within the section 305(b) 

report. 

EPA’s Assessment and Watershed 

Protection Division (AWPD) works with 

its Regional counterparts to review and 

approve or disapprove State section 

303(d) lists and TMDLs from 56 

respondents (the 50 States, the District 

of Columbia, and the five Territories). 

Section 303(d) specifically requires 

States to develop lists and TMDLs ‘‘from 

time to time,’’ and EPA to review and 

approve or disapprove the lists and the 

TMDLs. EPA also collects State 305(b) 

reports from 59 respondents (the 50 

States, the District of Columbia, five 

Territories, and 3 River Basin 

Commissions). 

Tribes are not required to submit 

section 305(b) reports. However, to meet 

the needs of Tribes at all levels of 

development, EPA has prepared 

guidance that presents the basic steps a 

Tribe should take to collect the water 

quality information it needs to make 

effective decisions about its program, its 

goals, and its future directions. Tribal 

water quality monitoring and reporting 

activities are covered under the Section 

106 Tribal Grants Program and not 

included in the burden estimates for 

this ICR. 

During the period covered by this ICR 

renewal, respondents will: Complete 

their 2016 section 305(b) reports and 

2016 section 303(d) lists; complete their 

2018 section 305(b) reports and 2018 

section 303(d) lists; transmit annual 

electronic updates of ambient 

monitoring data via the Water Quality 

Exchange; and continue to develop 

TMDLs according to their established 

schedules. EPA will prepare biennial 

updates on assessed and impaired 

waters for Congress and the public for 

the 2016 reporting cycle and for the 

2018 cycle, and EPA will review 303(d) 

list and TMDL submissions from 

respondents. 

The burdens of specific activities that 

States undertake as part of their section 

305(b) and 303(d) programs are derived 

from a project among EPA, States and 

other interested stakeholders to develop 

a tool for estimating the States’ resource 

needs for State water quality 

management programs. This project has 

developed the State Water Quality 

Management Workload Model 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 129 / Tuesday, July 7, 2015 / Notices 38685 

(SWQMWM), which estimates and sums 

the workload involved in more than one 

hundred activities or tasks comprising a 

State water quality management 

program. Over twenty States contributed 

information about their activities that 

became the basis for the model. 

According to the SWQMWM, to meet 

section 305(b) and 303(d) reporting 

requirements the States will conduct: 

Watershed monitoring and 

characterization; modeling and analysis; 

development of a TMDL document for 

public review; public outreach; formal 

public participation; tracking; planning; 

legal support; etc. In general, 

respondents have conducted each of 

these reporting and record keeping 

activities for past section 305(b) and 

303(d) reporting cycles and thus have 

staff and procedures in place to 

continue their section 305(b) and 303(d) 

reporting programs. The burden 

associated with these tasks is estimated 

in this ICR to include the total number 

of TMDLs that may be submitted during 

the period covered by this ICR. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

States, Territories and Tribes with Clean 

Water Act (CWA) responsibilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory: Integrated Water Quality 

Inventory Reports (Clean Water Act 

sections 305(b), 303(d), 314(a), and 

106(e)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 59 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Biennial. 

Total estimated burden: 3,740,017 

(per year) hours. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $203,728,300 

(per year), includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB, 

published on August 31, 2012. EPA is 

currently designing the Water Quality 

Framework, which is a new way of 

integrating EPA’s data and information 

systems to more effectively support 

reporting and tracking water quality 

protection and restoration actions. The 

Framework will streamline water 

quality assessment and reporting by 

reducing transactions associated with 

paper copy reviews and increasing 

electronic data exchange. The 

Framework is in line with EPA’s EEnterprise Initiative, which seeks to 

assess and reformulate EPA’s business 

process to reduce burden through the 

improved use of technology. EPA 

expects that the reporting burden will 

decrease and will revise the ICR burden 

after the new information system is 

implemented for the 2018 reporting 

cycle.
