Comment Request; Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Airport 
Deicing Category

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to 
submit an information collection request (ICR), ``Effluent Guidelines 
and Standards for the Airport Deicing Category'' (EPA ICR No. 2326.02, 
OMB Control No. 2040-0285) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public 
comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as 
described below. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is 
currently approved through 03/31/2015. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 2, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
2008-0719, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by 
email to ow-docket@epa.gov (Identify Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2008-0719 
in the subject line), or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., 
Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the 
public docket without change including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information 
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarita Hoyt, State and Regional 
Branch, Water Permits Division, OWM Mail Code: 4203M, Environmental 
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460; 
telephone number: (202) 564-1471; email address: hoyt.sarita@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of 
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. 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. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: This draft ICR calculates the burden and costs associated 
with information collection and reporting activities required by EPA's 
Effluent Limitations Guidelines and New Source Performance Standards 
for the Airport Deicing Category (40 CFR part 449.10 and 449.20). 
Respondents affected by this information collection request are covered 
by either EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP), an equivalent state 
stormwater general permit, or an individual stormwater permit, and the 
NPDES permitting authorities receive, process, and review permit 
applications, and Notices of Intent (NOIs). Permitting authorities will 
also process and review certifications of non-use of urea-based 
deicers, and monitoring data as applicable.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: The respondents affected by this 
information collection request are commercial airports with at least 
1,000 annual non-propeller aircraft departures.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 449.10 
and 449.20).
    Estimated number of respondents: 198 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 198 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $6,534 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: The above estimates reflect what is currently 
approved by OMB and they will be updated in the final ICR submission to 
OMB. EPA expects that there will be little or no change in the burden. 
The basis for these estimates is provided in the supporting statement.

    Dated: December 18, 2014.

Acting Director, Office of Wastewater Management.
