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.
