Abstract: The Clean Water Act 

Section 305(b) reports contain 

information on the water quality 

standards attainment status of assessed 

waters, and, when waters are impaired, 

the pollutants and potential sources 

affecting water quality. This information 

helps track State progress in addressing 

water pollution. Section 303(d) of the 

Clean Water Act requires States to 

identify and rank waters that cannot 

meet water quality standards (WQS) 

following the implementation of 

technology-based controls. Under 

Section 303(d), States are also required 

to establish total maximum daily loads 

(TMDLs) for listed waters not meeting 

standards as a result of pollutant 

discharges. In developing the Section 

303(d) lists, States are required to 

consider various sources of water 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 250 / Wednesday, December 30, 2015 / Notices 81541 

quality related data and information, 

including the Section 305(b) State water 

quality reports. Section 106(e) requires 

that states annually update monitoring 

data and use it in their Section 305(b) 

report. Section 314(a) requires states to 

report on the condition of their 

publicly-owned lakes within the Section 

305(b) report. 

EPA’s Assessment and Watershed 

Protection Division (AWPD) works with 

its Regional counterparts to review and 

approve or disapprove State Section 

303(d) lists and TMDLs from 56 

respondents (the 50 States, the District 

of Columbia, and the five Territories). 

Section 303(d) specifically requires 

States to develop lists and TMDLs ‘‘from 

time to time,’’ and EPA to review and 

approve or disapprove the lists and the 

TMDLs. EPA also collects State 305(b) 

reports from 59 respondents (the 50 

States, the District of Columbia, five 

Territories, and 3 River Basin 

Commissions). 

During the period covered by this ICR 

renewal, respondents will: Complete 

their 2016 Section 305(b) reports and 

2016 Section 303(d) lists; complete their 

2018 Section 305(b) reports and 2018 

Section 303(d) lists; transmit annual 

electronic updates of ambient 

monitoring data via the Water Quality 

Exchange; and continue to develop 

TMDLs according to their established 

schedules. EPA will prepare biennial 

updates on assessed and impaired 

waters for Congress and the public for 

the 2016 reporting cycle and for the 

2018 cycle, and EPA will review 303(d) 

list and TMDL submissions from 

respondents. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: States 

and Territories. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (Clean Water Act Sections 

305(b), 303(d), 314(a), and 106(e)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 59 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Biennial. 

Total estimated burden: 3,740,017 

(per year) hours. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $203,340,984 

(per year), includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR previously approved by OMB. The 

EPA is currently designing the Water 

Quality Framework, which is a new way 

of integrating the EPA’s data and 

information systems to more effectively 

support reporting and tracking water 

quality protection and restoration 

actions. The Framework will streamline 

water quality assessment and reporting 

by reducing transactions associated with 

paper copy reviews and increasing 

electronic data exchange. The 

Framework composts with the EPA’s 

E-Enterprise Initiative, which seeks to 

assess and reformulate the EPA’s 

business process to reduce burden 

through the improved use of technology. 

The EPA expects that the Framework 

will reduce reporting burden for 

integrated water quality inventory 

reports and will revise this ICR before 

the new information system is 

implemented for the 2018 reporting 

cycle.
