80360 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 247 / Friday, December 23, 2011 / Notices 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

approved Burdens. The increase is not 

due to any program changes. The 

change in burden cost is due to the use 

of the most updated labor rates. 

Because there are no new sources 

with reporting requirements, no capital/ 

startup costs are incurred. The only cost 

that is incurred is for the O&M of the 

monitoring equipment.

Title: Establishing No-Discharge 

Zones Under Clean Water Act § 312 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1791.06, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0187. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 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, 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: (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 

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

subsequent regulations at 40 CFR 

140.4(a–c). No-discharge zones are 

established to provide State and local 

governments with additional protection 

of waters from treated or untreated 

vessel sewage. There are three 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’’) no-discharge zones (‘‘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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 247 / Friday, December 23, 2011 / Notices 80361 

estimated to average 142 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: States. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

16. 

Frequency of Response: Annual, on 

occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

2,266 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$108,622 includes $2,300 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 59 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to revised 

estimates based on comments from 

independent state reviewers 

(respondents) who applied for NDZs 

over the last several years.

Title: National Pretreatment Program 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR Number 

0002.15, OMB Control Number 2040– 

0009. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on 12/31/2011. 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, 

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: This ICR calculates the 

burden and costs associated with 

managing and implementing the 

National Pretreatment Program as 

mandated under CWA sections 402(a) 

and 402(b) and 307(b). This ICR 

includes all existing tasks under the 

National Pretreatment Program, as 

amended by the EPA’s Streamlining 

Rule. 

EPA’s Office of Wastewater 

Management (OWM) in the Office of 

Water (OW) is responsible for the 

management of the pretreatment 

program. The CWA requires EPA to 

develop national pretreatment standards 

to control discharges from Industrial 

Users (IUs) into Publicly-Owned 

Treatment Works (POTWs). These 

standards limit the level of certain 

pollutants allowed in non-domestic 

wastewater that is discharged to a 

POTW. EPA administers the 

pretreatment program through the 

NPDES permit program. Under the 

NPDES permit program, EPA may 

approve State or individual POTW 

implementation of the pretreatment 

standards at their respective levels. Data
