Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 106 / Monday, June 2, 2008 / Notices 31479 

1Note: EPA estimates that of the estimated total 

number of potential respondents there will likely be 

only 264 responses. 

—Information that an Indian Tribe must 

submit to EPA in order to determine 

whether a Tribe is qualified to administer 

the water quality standards program (40 

CFR 131.8). 

—Information a State or Tribe must submit 

if it chooses to exercise a dispute 

resolution mechanism for disputes 

between States and Tribes over water 

quality standards on common water bodies 

(40 CFR 131.7). 

—Information related to public participation 

requirements during State and Tribal 

review and revision of water quality 

standards (40 CFR 131.20). States and 

Tribes must hold public hearings as part of 

their triennial reviews, and make any 

proposed standards and supporting 

analyses available to the public before the 

hearing. 

The Regulation establishes specific 

additional requirements for water 

quality standards and their 

implementation in the waters of the 

Great Lakes system, contained in the 

Water Quality Guidance for the Great 

Lakes System (40 CFR part 132). This 

portion of the Regulation includes the 

following requirements for information 

collection: bioassay tests to support the 

development of water quality criteria; 

studies to identify and provide 

information on antidegradation control 

measures that will guard against the 

reduction of water quality in the Great 

Lakes system; and information 

collection and recordkeeping activities 

associated with analyses and reporting 

to request regulatory relief from 

Guidance requirements. The Guidance 

includes additional information 

collections that are addressed in 

separate Information Collection 

Requests for the National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System program. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 988 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The following estimates are based on 

estimates from the previous ICR renewal 

and will be revised prior to OMB 

submission. The public will have a 

second opportunity to comment before 

then. The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 2,796.1

Frequency of response: At least once 

every 3 years. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 0.095. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

260,714 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$12,063,453. This cost consists entirely 

of the estimated burden cost since there 

are no capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

What Is the Next Step in the Process for 

This ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
