SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has 

submitted the following ICR to OMB for 

review and approval according to the 

procedures prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12. 

On January 3, 2007 (72 FR 130), EPA 

sought comments on this ICR pursuant 

to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA published a 

second notice on January 22, 2007 (72 

FR 2684), to make a correction to the

Title: Performance Evaluation Studies 

on Water and Wastewater Laboratories 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0234.09, 

OMB Control No. 2080–0021. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on July 31, 2007. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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: Discharge Monitoring 

Report-Quality Assurance (DMR–QA) 

participation is mandatory for major and 

selected minor permit holders under the 

Clean Water Act’s National Pollution 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), 

Section 308. The DMR–QA study is 

designed to evaluate the entire process 

used by permittees to routinely report 

monitoring results in Discharge 

Monitoring Reports (DMRs). The study 

addresses the analytic ability of the 

laboratories that perform chemical, 

microbiological and whole effluent 

toxicity (WET) analyses required in the 

NPDES permits and the ability to 

properly report these results in the 

DMRs. Under DMR–QA, the permit 

holder is responsible for obtaining ungraded results of analyses of test 

samples performed by in-house and/or 

contract laboratories, and submitting 

these results to the appropriate federal 

or state NPDES regulatory authority and 

the commercial proficiency testing (PT) 

provider that supplies the test samples. 

Permit holders are responsible for 

submitting corrective action reports to 

the appropriate regulatory authority. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 6.3 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Respondents in DMR–QA studies are 

NPDES permittees designated by the 

EPA region or state with permitting 

responsibility and the laboratories doing 

whole-effluent toxicity testing for these 

major dischargers. These respondents 

are most likely from the following SIC 

Codes: 2011—through 3999—

Manufacturers; 4941—Water supply 

systems; 4952—Sewerage systems; 

8734—Water testing laboratories. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

7516. 

Frequency of Response: Once 

annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

47,351 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$2,494,260, includes $1,240,140 

annualized O&M costs and $1,254,120 

annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 132,984 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is primarily due 

to the fact that this renewal ICR does not 

include burden associated with the 

Water Pollution and Water Supply 

studies that were covered under the 

previous ICR. Some of this decrease was 

offset by a slight increase in the number 

of respondents, burden hours and costs 

for the DMR–QA study
