Title: Establishing No-Discharge 

Zones (NDZs) Under Clean Water Act 

Section 312 (Renewal). 

Abstract: (A) Sewage No-discharge 

Zones: The need for EPA to obtain 

information for the establishment of nodischarge zones (NDZs) for vessel 

sewage in State waters stems from CWA 

sections 312(f)(3), (f)(4)(A), and (f)(4)(B), 

and subsequent regulations at 40 CFR 

140.4(a–c). NDZs are established to 

provide State and local governments 

with additional protection of waters 

from treated or untreated vessel sewage. 

There are 3 ways in which NDZs for 

vessel sewage can be established. This 

ICR discusses the information 

requirements associated with the 

establishment of NDZs for vessel 

sewage. The responses to this collection 

of information are required to obtain the 

benefit of a sewage NDZ (see 33 U.S.C. 

1322). The information collection 

activities discussed in this ICR do not 

require the submission of any 

confidential information. 

(B) UNDS No-discharge Zones: Under 

section 312(n) of the Clean Water Act 

(‘‘Uniform National Discharge Standards 

for Vessels of the Armed Forces’’ or 

‘‘UNDS’’) NDZs for discharges from 

Armed Forces vessels may be 

established by either State prohibition 

or EPA prohibition following the 

procedures in 40 CFR part 1700. UNDS 

also provides that the Governor of any 

State may petition EPA and the 

Secretary of Defense to review any 

determination or standard promulgated 

under the UNDS program if there is 

significant new information that could 

reasonably result in a change to the 

determination or standard. This ICR 

discusses the information that will be 

required from a State if it decides to 

establish a NDZ by State prohibition or 

apply for a NDZ by EPA prohibition, 

and the information that will be 

required from a State if it decides to 

submit a petition for review. The 

responses to this collection of 

information are required to obtain the 

benefit of an UNDS NDZ or a review of 

an UNDS determination or standard (see 

33 U.S.C. 1322(n)). The information 

collection activities discussed in this 

ICR do not require the submission of 

any confidential information. 

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. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 138 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; 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are State, Tribal, and local 

governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

16. 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

reporting. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

2,207. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost:

$87,000, which includes $2,000 

annualized capital or O&M costs and 

$85,000 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
