Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected Entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are state 

governments and publicly owned 

wastewater treatment facilities. 

Title: Clean Watersheds Needs Survey 

(CWNS) 2012 (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0318.12, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0050. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2011. 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 in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal 

Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The Clean Watersheds 

Needs Survey (CWNS) is required by 

Sections 205(a) and 516(b)(1) of the 

Clean Water Act (http://www.epa.gov/ 

cwns). It is a periodic inventory of 

existing and proposed publicly owned 

wastewater treatment works (POTWs) 

and other water pollution control 

facilities in the United States, as well as 

an estimate of how many POTWs need 

to be built. The CWNS is a joint effort 

of EPA and the States and Territories. 

The Survey records cost and technical 

data associated with POTWs and other 

water pollution control facilities, 

existing and proposed, in the United 

States. The State respondents who 

provide this information to EPA are 

State agencies responsible for 

environmental pollution control. No 

confidential information is used, nor is 

sensitive information protected from 

release under the Public Information 

Act. EPA achieves national consistency 

in the final results through the 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 26, 2010 / Notices 29533 

application of uniform guidelines and 

validation techniques. 

For CWNS 2012, EPA is offering 

States two options for participating: (1) 

The Traditional Method and (2) the Gap 

Approach Option. The Gap Approach 

Option enables a State to 

comprehensively assess at the State 

level, for various facility size groupings, 

wastewater facility revenues and capital 

and operation maintenance (O&M) 

expenses over 20 years. This 

comprehensive facility economic 

analysis supports State and EPA 

sustainable infrastructure programs. The 

Traditional Method enables States to 

assess the capital needs for each facility 

within the state. This spatially 

comprehensive assessment of capital 

needs, along with current and projected 

populations receiving various levels of 

wastewater treatment, supports holistic 

watershed management approaches. 

Under the ‘‘Traditional Method’’ of 

documenting water pollution control 

needs, states submit capital needs for all 

facilities in the state: 

• Wastewater Treatment Plants. 

• Separate Sewer Systems. 

• Combined Sewer Systems. 

• Stormwater Management. 

• Decentralized Wastewater 

Treatment. 

• Nonpoint Source (NPS) Control. 

For each need, states submit one or 

more supporting documents (Facility 

Plan, Engineer’s Estimate, etc.). Revenue 

and operation and maintenance (O&M) 

needs data are not collected in the 

Traditional Method. 

Under the ‘‘Gap Approach’’ to 

documenting water pollution control 

needs, states submit capital & O&M 

needs and revenues for a sample of 

these facilities: 

• Wastewater Treatment Plants. 

• Separate Sewer Systems. 

• Combined Sewer Systems. 

For these sampled facilities, revenues 

are submitted and asset condition 

analysis data is used to estimate capital 

and O&M needs. Results from the 

sample set of facilities are extrapolated 

to provide State level estimates at ±25% 

accuracy. Average sample rates are: 

• 10–25% for facilities serving less 

than 10,000 people. 

• 30–60% for facilities serving 

between 10,000 and 100,000 people. 

• 100% (census survey) for the largest 

3% of facilities in each state. 

EPA is interested in comments and 

information on an alternate sample 

design that would provide state level 

estimates at ±10% accuracy. Under this 

alternative, average sample rates would 

be: 

• 15–45% for facilities serving less 

than 10,000 people. 

• 35–80% for facilities serving 

between 10,000 and 100,000 people. 

• 100% (census survey) for the largest 

3% of facilities in each state. 

Since in CWNS the Gap Approach is 

only applicable to Wastewater 

Treatment Plants, Separate Sewer 

Systems, and Combined Sewer Systems, 

States selecting the Gap Approach will 

use the Traditional Method for all other 

facilities (Stormwater Management, 

Decentralized Wastewater Treatment, 

NPS Control). 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.55 hours per 

response. 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Frequency of response: Every 4 years. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 56 States (States, District 

of Columbia, U.S. Territories) and 5,122 

Local Facilities. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each State respondent: 

271. 

Estimated total annual State burden 

hours: 7,053. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each Local Facility 

respondent: 5,122. 

Estimated total annual Local Facility 

burden hours: 2,031. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$284,372 for States and $85,666 for 

Local Facilities. These costs are all 

capital costs, there are no maintenance 

and operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is an increase of 277 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. The 277 

hour increase is the net result of a 

decrease of 182 State burden hours 

combined with an increase of 459 hours 

in Local Facility burden hours. These 

changes are estimated impacts of 10 

States selecting the Gap Approach 

Option. In this option, total state effort 

is projected to decrease slightly due to 

the sampling design (the greater State 

effort per facility is slightly more than 

offset by entering data for a sampled 

portion of facilities rather than for all 

facilities). For Local Facilities, the 

projected increased burden results from 

the extra per facility effort being slightly 

more than the burden saved by 

switching from a census to a sampling 

approach. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
