the PRA, EPA requests 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. 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: The Safe Drinking Water Act 

(SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires 

EPA to establish criteria for a program 

for public water systems (PWSs) to 

monitor not more than 30 unregulated 

contaminants every five years. 

Information collected under the 

program supports Agency decision 

making regarding whether or not to 

regulate particular contaminants in 

drinking water. EPA published the first 

group of contaminants in UCMR 1, in 

the Federal Register on September 17, 

1999 (64 FR 50556), and the second 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 61 / Tuesday, March 31, 2015 / Notices 17043 

group of contaminants in UCMR 2, in 

the Federal Register on January 4, 2007 

(72 FR 368). UCMR 3 addresses the 

third group of 30 contaminants and was 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 2, 2012 (77 FR 26071). 

UCMR 3 ‘‘Assessment Monitoring’’ 

began in January 2013 and continues 

through December 2015 for all large 

systems (those systems serving 10,001 to 

100,000 people) and very large systems 

(those systems serving more than 

100,000 people), and for a nationally 

representative sample of 800 small 

systems (those systems serving 10,000 

or fewer people). The ‘‘Screening 

Survey’’ began in January 2013 and 

continues through December 2015 for 

all very large systems, 320 randomlyselected large systems, and 480 

randomly selected small systems. ‘‘PreScreen Testing’’ began in January 2013 

and continues through December 2015 

for a sample of 800 small, undisinfected 

ground water systems (those systems 

serving 1,000 or fewer people). 

This notice proposes renewal of the 

currently approved UCMR 3 ICR, (OMB 

Control No. 2040–0270), which covers 

the period 2012–2014. This ICR renewal 

accounts for activities conducted during 

2015–2017. The complete five-year 

UCMR 3 period of 2012–2016 overlaps 

with the applicable ICR period only 

during 2015 and 2016. PWSs will only 

be involved in active monitoring during 

2015 (i.e., one-third of this ICR period). 

This information collection does not 

require respondents to disclose 

confidential information. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Data 

associated with this ICR are collected 

and submitted by PWSs. States, 

territories and tribes with primacy to 

administer the regulatory program for 

PWSs under SDWA may participate in 

UCMR 3 implementation through a 

partnership agreement with EPA. These 

primacy agencies may sometimes 

conduct monitoring and maintain 

records. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. The information collection 

is carried out per section 1445(a) of 

SDWA. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

There are approximately 6,351 

respondents to UCMR 3, including 

2,098 PWSs that will monitor during the 

ICR years of 2015–2017; and 56 states 

and primacy agents. 

Frequency of response: The frequency 

of responses varies based on the 

respondent type. PWSs and states have 

a different number of responses. PWSs 

served by surface water monitor for the 

UCMR contaminants four times during 

a 12-month period. PWSs served by 

ground water monitor twice during a 12- 

month period. The number of samples 

collected by PWSs also differs based on 

the size of the systems, and the number 

of entry points and distribution system 

sample points within each system. The 

total number of responses per 

respondent is 2.96 over the three ICR 

years of 2015–2017, or an average of 

0.99 responses per respondent per year. 

Total estimated burden: EPA 

estimates the annual labor burden per 

respondent at 8.31 hours during the ICR 

years of 2015–2017 for states and PWSs. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: EPA estimates 

the total cost at $7.45 million per year 

during the ICR years of 2015–2017 for 

states and PWSs. The total costs include 

labor costs and laboratory analysis (nonlabor) costs. EPA pays for the analytical 

and sample shipping costs for small 

PWSs, and the Agency collects all the 

Pre-Screen Testing samples for all 

PWSs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 68,294 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden for states 

and PWSs compared with the existing 

ICR. Respondents to this renewal ICR 

will incur a different burden than those 

responding to the original ICR for 2012– 

2014 because: 

• Fewer PWSs participate during the 

ICR period of 2015–2017 than in 2012– 

2014. Only one third of the systems 

monitor for UCMR 3 contaminants in 

2015–2017; two-thirds of the systems 

have already monitored for UCMR 3 

contaminants in 2012–2014. 

• The schedule of activities for PWSs 

differs. Some initial activities were 

conducted by all systems during the 

previous ICR period. These activities 

will not take place during the second 

ICR period of 2015–2017. 

• The schedule of activities differs for 

participating states. Management and 

support activities for states vary with 

the UCMR 3 monitoring schedule. States 

are expected to incur less burden during 

this second UCMR 3 ICR period of 

2015–2017.
