Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection;

Comment Request; Establishing NoDischarge Zones Under Clean Water

Act Section 312

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this document announces

that EPA is planning to submit the

following continuing Information

Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB):

Establishing No-Discharge Zones Under

Clean Water Act section 312, EPA ICR

Number 1791.03, OMB Control Number

2040–0187; current expiration date 10/

31/2000. This ICR will consolidate two

ICRs associated with the establishment

of no-discharge zones under CWA

section 312 (EPA ICR Numbers 1791.01

to 1791.02). Before submitting the ICR to

OMB for review and approval, EPA is

soliciting comments on specific aspects

of the proposed information collection

as described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 18, 2000.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR can be

obtained from and written comments

may be submitted to James C. Woodley,

Marine Pollution Control Branch,

Oceans and Coastal Protection Division,

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

4504F, Ariel Rios, 1200 Penn. Ave., NW,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected entities: Entities potentially

affected by this action are State, local,

and tribal governments.

Title: Establishing No-Discharge

Zones Under Clean Water Act section

312 (OMB Control Number 2040–0187;

EPA ICR Number 1791.03) expiring 10/

31/2000.

Abstract: (A) Sewage No-discharge

Zones: The need for EPA to obtain

information for the establishment of nodischarge zones (NDZs) for vessel

sewage in State waters stems from CWA

sections 312(f)(3), (f)(4)(A), and (f)(4)(B),

and subsequent regulations at 40 CFR

140.4(a-c). No-discharge zones are

established to provide State and local

governments with additional protection

of waters from treated or untreated

vessel sewage. There are 3 ways in

which NDZs for vessel sewage can be

established. This ICR discusses the

information requirements associated

with the establishment of NDZs for

vessel sewage. The responses to this

collection of information are required to

obtain the benefit of a sewage NDZ (see

33 U.S.C. 1322). The information

collection activities discussed in this

ICR do not require the submission of

any confidential information.

(B) UNDS No-discharge Zones: Under

section 312(n) of the Clean Water Act

(‘‘Uniform National Discharge Standards

for Vessels of the Armed Forces’’ or

‘‘UNDS’’) no-discharge zones (‘‘NDZs’’)

for discharges from Armed Forces

vessels may be established by either

State prohibition or EPA prohibition

following the procedures in 40 CFR part

1700. UNDS also provides that the

Governor of any State may petition EPA

and the Secretary of Defense to review

any determination or standard

promulgated under the UNDS program

if there is significant new information

that could reasonably result in a change

to the determination or standard. This

ICR discusses the information that will

be required from a State if it decides to

establish a NDZ by State prohibition or

apply for a NDZ by EPA prohibition,

and the information that will be

required from a State if it decides to

submit a petition for review. The responses to this collection of information

are required to obtain the benefit of an

UNDS NDZ or a review of an UNDS

determination or standard (see 33 U.S.C.

1322(n)). The information collection

activities discussed in this ICR do not

require the submission of any

confidential information.

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. The OMB control

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments 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.

Burden Statement: Table 1 shows the

annual respondent burdens for

establishing sewage no-discharge zones

as 1335 total hours. The average burden

per respondent per year is 111.25 hours.

Table 2 shows the annual respondent

burdens for establishing UNDS nodischarge zones and petitioning for

review of an UNDS determination or

standard (957.50 hours total). The

average burden per respondent per year

is 160 hours. Table 3 shows the annual

respondent burdens for all of CWA

section 312 (2292.5 hours total). The

average burden per respondent per year

is 127 hours. The estimates include time

for gathering information, and preparing

and submitting requests. Burden means

the total time, effort, or financial

resources expended by persons to

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or

provide information to or for a Federal

agency. This includes the time needed

to review instructions; develop, acquire,

install, and utilize 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 the information.
