current waiver, or reapplying for a 

waiver, provides application, 

monitoring, and toxic control program 

information. The state provides 

information on its determination 

whether the proposed conditions of the 

waiver ensure the protection of water 

quality, biological habitats, and 

beneficial uses of receiving waters, and 

whether the discharge will result in 

additional treatment, pollution control, 

or any other requirement for any other 

point or nonpoint sources. The state 

also provides information to certify that 

the discharge will meet all applicable 

state laws and that the state accepts all 

permit conditions. EPA requires 

updated information on the discharge 

to: (1) Determine whether the section 

301(h) criteria are still being met and 

whether the section 301(h) waiver 

should be reissued; (2) determine 

whether the water quality, biological 

habitats, and beneficial uses of the 

receiving waters are protected; and (3) 

ensure that the permittee is effectively 

minimizing industrial and nonindustrial 

toxic pollutant and pesticide discharges 

into the treatment works. EPA needs 

information from the state to: (1) Allow 

the state’s views to be taken into 

account when EPA reviews the section 

301(h) application and develops permit 

conditions; and (2) ensure that all state 

laws are met and that the state accepts 

all permit conditions. This information 

is the means by which the state can nonconcur with a section 301(h) approval 

decision made by the EPA Regional 

office. Regulations implementing CWA 

section 301(h) are found at 40 CFR part 

125, subpart G. The information covered 

by this information collection request 

involves treatment plant operating data, 

effects of POTWs’ discharges on marine 

environments, and states’ viewpoints on 

issues concerning effects of POTWs’ 

discharges on marine environments. 

Form Numbers: ‘‘None.’’ 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

those municipalities that currently have 

section 301(h) waivers from secondary 

treatment, or have applied for a renewal 

of a section 301(h) waiver, and the states 

within which these municipalities are 

located. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit. 

Estimated number of respondents: 37 

(total). 

Frequency of response: From once 

every five years, to varies case-by-case, 

depending on the category of 

information. 

Total estimated burden: 59,370 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1.3 million (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB, due to 

changes in the respondent universe, 

program status, information needs, and 

the use of technology.

EPA ICR No.: 1569.08 

OMB Control No.: 2040–0153 

Abstract: Under the provisions of 

national Program Development and 

Approval Guidance implementing 

section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act 

Reauthorization Amendments of 1990 

(CZARA) which was jointly developed 

and published by EPA and the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA), 29 coastal 

States and 5 coastal Territories with 

federally approved Coastal Zone 

Management Programs have developed 

and submitted to EPA and NOAA 

Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Programs. 

Another State (Illinois) is developing its 

program for submittal to EPA and 

NOAA in early 2014. EPA and NOAA 

have fully approved 17 States and 5 

Territories, and conditionally approved 

11 States. Another State that was 

conditionally approved (Alaska) ceased 

its participation in this program in 2011. 

States and Territories with conditional 

approvals are required to submit 

additional information in order to 

obtain final program approval. CZARA 

section 6217 requires States and 

Territories to obtain final approval of 

their Coastal Nonpoint Pollution 

Programs in order to retain their full

share of funding available to them under 

section 319 of the Clean Water Act and 

section 306 of the Coastal Zone 

Management Act. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

affected by this action are 11 coastal 

States with conditionally approved 

Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control 

Programs and 1 coastal State that will 

submit its program for federal approval 

in 2014. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain benefits. 

Estimated number of respondents: 12 

States (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 1,500 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $55,500 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 125 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is the result of 

progress that States which are not yet 

unconditionally approved have made 

that have resulted in the reduction in 

the number of conditions imposed on 

them by EPA and NOAA, offset by the 

addition of a new State coastal nonpoint 

program (Illinois), as well as the 

sunsetting of one State program in 2011 

(Alaska).
