Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 33 / Friday, February 19, 2010 / Notices 7477 

0002.14), approved through December 

31, 2011. A framework to implement the 

awards recognition program is at 40 CFR 

part 105. 

The respondent will read the 

instructions for completing the 

recognition application for the 

Sustainable Water Leadership Program. 

The respondent will use existing files, 

planning and progress reports, and 

institutional memory to complete the 

application. Based on the instructions 

provided with the application, the 

respondent will compile the requested 

information. The requested design and 

operating information should be readily 

available from wastewater/drinking 

water/storm water treatment facility, or 

pollution abatement program operating 

records. The data collection may 

include flow, permit, operating and 

environmental data. 

The information collection will be 

used by the Office of Water, Office of 

Wastewater Management, to evaluate 

and determine if required criteria are 

met for recognition. Based on the 

collection, national panels will evaluate 

the applicant’s efforts and recommend 

finalists. Recognized entities will 

receive a letter and certificate signed by 

the EPA Administrator or Assistant 

Administrator for Water, their utility 

name on EPA and outside organization 

Web sites, and announcements of their 

recognition at national conferences. EPA 

Regions may also opt to hold Regional 

ceremonies. 

Burden Statement: The total number 

of respondents for the recognition 

program is estimated to be 2,036 

(includes 530 respondents in Year 1 of 

the Program and 1,507 in Year 3) with 

a total annual average of 679. The 

responses are collected every other year. 

The respondents reporting burden of 20 

person hours per response is estimated 

to be 40,723 hours and a cost of $1.8 

million. Total estimated annual burden 

for this collection is 13,574 hours and 

$614,919 (all labor cost). For additional 

details on the estimated burden, please 

see docket ID number EPA–HQ–OW– 

2003–0064. Burden means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. 

This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, 

and use 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 information. The ICR provides 

a detailed explanation of the Agency’s 

estimate, which is only briefly 

summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 679. 

Frequency of response: Biennial 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

13,574 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$614,919. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $614,919 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 12,414 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This change is 

primarily the result of (1) changes and 

adjustments in the number and types of 

applicants eligible for recognition under 

the Sustainable Water Leadership 

Program. The new Sustainable Water 

Leadership Program expands the 

universe of eligible entities to include 

community drinking water utilities and 

systems, as well as managed 

decentralized treatment systems (public 

or private). (2) EPA updated the 

estimated time spent by respondents to 

complete the revised Recognition 

Application for Sustainable Water 

Leadership Program to 20 hours per 

respondent. (3) The ICR now includes 

the applicant respondent burden 

consolidated from the Pretreatment ICR 

(OMB Control No. 2040–0009, EPA ICR 

No. 0002.14), which was previous 

included in only the Pretreatment ICR 

and not this ICR. 

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

Draft Toxicological Review of 

Inorganic Arsenic: In Support of the 

Summary Information on the 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of public comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 60-day 

public comment period for the 2010 

draft document titled, ‘‘Toxicological 

Review of Inorganic Arsenic: In Support 

of the Summary Information on the 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS)’’ (EPA/635/R–10/001). The draft 

document was prepared by the National 

Center for Environmental Assessment 

(NCEA) within the EPA’s Office of 

Research and Development (ORD). The 

Toxicological Review of Inorganic 

Arsenic was submitted to the EPA’s 

Science Advisory Board (SAB) for 

external peer review in 2005. The SAB 

completed its review and submitted its 

final report to the EPA Administrator in 

June 2007 (see EPA–SAB–07–008 at 

www.epa.gov/sab). EPA revised the 

Toxicological Review in response to the 

SAB comments. A detailed account of 

the SAB (2007) recommendations and 

EPA’s response is provided in Appendix 

A of the 2010 draft Toxicological 

Review of Inorganic Arsenic. 

EPA has now submitted the 2010 draft 

Toxicological Review to the SAB for a 

focused peer review of EPA’s responses 

to key SAB (2007) recommendations. 

EPA is also seeking a focused review by 

the public on EPA’s interpretation and 

implementation of key SAB (2007) 

external peer review recommendations. 

The public comment period and SAB 

review are separate processes that 

provide opportunities for all interested 

parties to comment on the document. 

SAB’s peer review meeting will be 

announced in a separate Federal 

Register notice. EPA intends to forward 

the public comments that are submitted 

in accordance with this notice to the 

SAB peer review panel prior to the 

meeting for their consideration. 

However, because of the timing of the 

SAB’s peer review meeting, EPA can 


pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
7478 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 33 / Friday, February 19, 2010 / Notices 

only guarantee that those comments 

submitted by March 26, 2010, in 

response to this Federal Register notice 

will be provided to the SAB panel prior 

to the SAB meeting. Comments received 

after March 26 will still be provided to 

the SAB panel and will inform the 

Agency’s revision of the draft 

assessment, but EPA cannot guarantee 

that the panel will have them prior to 

the peer review meeting. In addition, 

EPA cannot grant any requests for an 

extension of the comment period 

because of the scheduled SAB peer 

review meeting. When finalizing the 

Toxicological Review of Inorganic 

Arsenic, EPA intends to consider any 

public comments that EPA receives in 

accordance with this notice. 

EPA is releasing this draft document 

solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This document has not been 

formally disseminated by EPA. It does 

not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any Agency 

policy or determination. 

DATES: The public comment period 

begins February 19, 2010, and ends 

April 20, 2010. Comments should be in 

writing and must be received by EPA by 

April 20, 2010. 

EPA can only guarantee that those 

comments submitted by March 26, 2010, 

in response to this Federal Register 

notice will be provided to the SAB 

panel prior to the SAB meeting. 

Comments received after March 26 will 

still be provided to the SAB panel and 

will inform the Agency’s revision of the 

draft assessment, but EPA cannot 

guarantee that the panel will have them 

prior to the peer review meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About IRIS 

IRIS is a human health assessment 

program that evaluates quantitative and 

qualitative risk information on effects 

that may result from exposure to 

specific chemical substances found in 

the environment. Through the IRIS 

Program, EPA provides the highest 

quality science-based human health 

assessments to support the Agency’s 

regulatory activities. The IRIS database 

contains information for more than 540 

chemical substances that can be used to 

support the first two steps (hazard 

identification and dose-response 

evaluation) of the risk assessment 

process. When supported by available 

data, IRIS provides oral reference doses 

(RfDs) and inhalation reference 

concentrations (RfCs) for chronic 

noncancer health effects, and oral slope 

factors and inhalation unit risks for 

carcinogenic effects. Combined with 

specific exposure information, 

government and private entities use IRIS 

to help characterize public health risks 

of chemical substances in a site-specific 

situation and thereby support risk 

management decisions designed to 

protect public health.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9. 

Notice 

In accordance with Section 309(a) of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to 

make its comments on EISs issued by 

other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA has met this mandate 

by publishing weekly notices of 

availability of EPA comments, which 

includes a brief summary of EPA’s 

comment letters, in the Federal 

Register. Since February 2008, EPA has 

been including its comment letters on 

EISs on its Web site at: http:// 

www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/ 

eisdata.html. Including the entire EIS 

comment letters on the Web site 

satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement 

to make EPA’s comments on EISs 

available to the public. Accordingly, 

after March 31, 2010, EPA will 

discontinue the publication of this 

notice of availability of EPA comments 

in the Federal Register. 

Federal Offices in Washington, DC, 

were closed because of inclement 

weather from February 8–11, 2010. 

Accordingly the Notice of Availability 

for the Weekly Receipt of 

Environmental Impact Statements filed 

02/01/2010 through 02/05/2010 was not 

published in the Federal Register on
