Title: Clean Watersheds Needs Survey 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0318.12, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0050. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

and are displayed either by publication 

in the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The Clean Watersheds 

Needs Survey (CWNS) is required by 

Clean Water Act (CWA) Sections 205(a) 

and 516. It is a periodic inventory of 

existing and projected publicly owned 

wastewater treatment works (POTWs) 

and other water pollution control 

facilities in the United States, as well as 

an estimate of how many POTWs need 

to be built. The CWNS is a joint effort 

of EPA and the States. The Survey 

records cost and technical data 

associated with POTWs and other water 

pollution control facilities, existing and 

projected, in the United States. The 

State respondents who provide this 

information to EPA are State agencies 

responsible for environmental pollution 

control. No confidential information is 

used, nor is sensitive information 

protected from release under the Public 

Information Act. EPA achieves national 

consistency in the final results through 

the application of uniform guidelines 

and validation techniques. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.55 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 56 

States (States, District of Columbia, U.S. 

Territories) and 5,124 Local Facilities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

5,180. 

Frequency of Response: Every 4 years. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

9,115. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$371,066, includes $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 308 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This is the net result 

of a decrease of 52 state burden hours 

combined with an increase of 360 hours 

in Local Facility burden hours. Seven 

states will select the Gap Approach 

Option, which is projected to decrease 

burden slightly due to the sampling 

design (the greater State effort per 

facility is slightly more than offset by 

entering data for a sampled portion of 

facilities rather than for all facilities). 

For Local Facilities, there is an 

increased number of facilities that more 

than offsets the burden saved by 

switching from a census to a sampling 

approach.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 

any person who intends to manufacture 

(defined by statute to include import) a 

new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on 

the TSCA Inventory) to notify EPA and 

comply with the statutory provisions 

pertaining to the manufacture of new 

chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 

5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA is required to 

publish a notice of receipt of a 

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish 

periodic status reports on the chemicals 

under review and the receipt of notices 

of commencement to manufacture those 

chemicals. This status report, which 

covers the period from July 30, 2010 to 

August 31, 2010, consists of the PMNs 

and TME, both pending or expired, and 

the notices of commencement to 

manufacture a new chemical that the 

Agency has received under TSCA 

section 5 during this time period. 

DATES: Comments identified by the 

specific PMN number or TME number, 

must be received on or before October 

22, 2010.
