What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are NPDES 

permitted facilities. 

Title: Performance Evaluation Studies 

on Wastewater Laboratories (Renewal) 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0234.10, 

OMB Control No. 2080–0021. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on December 31, 

2010. 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, 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: Discharge Monitoring 

Report-Quality Assurance (DMR–QA) 

participation is mandatory for major and 

selected minor permit holders under the 

Clean Water Act’s National Pollution 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), 

Section 308. The DMR–QA study is 

designed to evaluate the analytic ability 

of the laboratories that perform 

chemical, microbiological and whole 

effluent toxicity (WET) analyses 

required in the NPDES permits for 

reporting results in the Discharge 

Monitoring Reports (DMR). Under 

DMR–QA, the permit holder is 

responsible: For having their in-house 

and/or contract laboratories perform 

proficiency test samples and submit 

results for grading by proficiency testing 

(PT) providers. Graded results are 

transmitted by either the permittee or 

PT provider to the appropriate Federal 

or State NPDES regulatory authority. 

Permit holders are responsible for 

submitting corrective action reports to 

the appropriate regulatory authority. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 6.3 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 ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 6,589. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

41,511 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$2,461,426. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $1,209,516 and an 

estimated cost of $1,251,910 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. The number of 

affected facilities is 6,589. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 5,840 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects EPA’s granting a 

waiver for four States to use their 

laboratory certification program as a 

substitute for the DMR–QA program. 

This resulted in a reduction in the 

average number of participants from 

7,516 to 6,589. The maintenance and 

operational cost has increased by 

$11,770 due to increased costs for 

obtaining proficiency testing samples. 

Labor costs have also been adjusted for 

inflation. 

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 Patrick 

Yellin.
