quality standards resulting from the jurisdiction’s triennial review (40 CFR 131.6 and 131.20). The elements include use designations for specific water bodies; methods used and analyses conducted to support water quality standards revisions; supporting analysis for use attainability analyses; water quality criteria sufficient to protect the designated uses; methodologies for site-specific criteria development; an antidegradation policy; certification by the jurisdiction’s Attorney General or other appropriate legal authority that the water quality standards were duly adopted pursuant to state or tribal law; information that will aid EPA in determining the adequacy of the scientific basis for the standards; and information on general policies that may affect the implementation of the standards.
—Information that an Indian tribe must

submit to EPA in order to determine whether a tribe is qualified to administer the water quality standards program (40 CFR 131.8).
—Information a state or tribe must

submit if it chooses to exercise a dispute resolution mechanism for disputes between states and tribes over water quality standards on common water bodies (40 CFR 131.7). —Information related to public

participation requirements during state and tribal review and revision of water quality standards (40 CFR 131.20). States and tribes must hold public hearings as part of their triennial reviews, and make any proposed standards and supporting analyses available to the public before the hearing. The regulation establishes specific additional requirements for water quality standards and their implementation in the waters of the Great Lakes system, contained in the Water Quality Guidance for the Great Lakes System (40 CFR part 132). This portion of the regulation includes the following requirements for information collection: Bioassay tests to support the development of water quality criteria; studies to identify and provide information on antidegradation control measures that will guard against the reduction of water quality in the Great Lakes system; and information collection and record keeping activities associated with analyses and reporting to request regulatory relief from Guidance requirements. The Guidance includes additional information collections that are addressed in separate Information Collection Requests for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: The Water Quality Standards regulation requires reporting at least once every three years from 96 jurisdictions: 56 states and territories, and Indian tribes with EPA-approved standards (40 tribes as of May 2015). The respondents affected by this collection activity are in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 92411 ‘‘Administration of Air and Water Resources and Solid Waste Management Programs,’’ formerly SIC code #9511. Additionally water dischargers subject to certain requirements related to the WQS in the Great Lakes System include dischargers in the following NAICS codes: Mining (except oil and gas) (212), Food manufacturing (311), Paper manufacturing (322), Chemical manufacturing (325), Petroleum refineries (32411), Primary metal manufacturing (331), Fabricated metal product manufacturing (332), Machinery manufacturing (333), Computer and electronic product manufacturing (334), Electrical equipment, appliance, and component manufacturing (335), Transportation equipment manufacturing (336), Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution (2211), and Sewage treatment facilities (22132).

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary.

Estimated number of potential respondents: 96 jurisdictions plus 2,323 Great Lakes dischargers.

Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 286,981 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $13,359,089 (per year). There are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 10,000 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects an increase in the estimated number of respondents to reflect EPA’s approval of water quality standards for four additional tribes. These estimates could change further if, for example, EPA approves water quality standards for additional tribes, or if there are changes in the burden related to expected NPDES permit activities in the Great Lakes basin covered by the ICR.
