Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request; Public

Water Systems Supervision Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

the following Information Collection

Request (ICR) has been forwarded to the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and approval: Public

Water Systems Supervision Program,

OMB Control Number 2040–0090,

which expires on September 30, 1997.

The ICR describes the nature of the

information collection and its expected

burden and cost; where appropriate, it

includes the actual data collection

instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before September 11, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 0270.38.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Public Water Systems

Supervision Program (OMB Control No.

2040–0090; EPA ICR No. 0270.38)

expiring 9/30 /97. This is a request for

extension of a currently approved

collection.

Abstract: This ICR contains record

keeping and reporting requirements that

are mandatory for compliance with 40

CFR parts 141 and 142. Sections 1401

and 1412 of the Safe Drinking Water Act

(SDWA), as amended, require EPA to

establish National Primary Drinking

Water Regulations (NPDWRs) that

ensure the safety of drinking water.

These regulations guarantee that

exposure to contaminants—microbial,

organic and inorganic chemicals, and

radionuclides in finished drinking water

is below the level established by human

health risk assessments. The Act further

requires EPA to ensure compliance with

and enforce these regulations. Section

1445 of SDWA stipulates that every

supplier of water shall conduct

monitoring, maintain records, and

provide such information as is needed

for the Agency to carry out its

compliance and enforcement

responsibilities with respect to SDWA.

Implementation of these requirements is

principally a responsibility of the States,

particularly the 49 States that have

assumed primary enforcement

responsibility (primacy) for public water

systems under SDWA section 1413. As

part of the Public Water Systems

Supervision Program, the Agency’s Safe

Drinking Water Information System

(SDWIS) collect data from the States on

public water systems regulated by EPA.

Data include the public water system

inventory, violations, and Federal and

State enforcement actions. Without

comprehensive, up-to-date information

on drinking water contamination, the

Agency would not be able to ensure ‘‘a

supply of drinking water which

dependably complies with such

maximum contaminant levels’ (SDWA,

section 1401(1)(d)).

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 Federal Register Notice

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on March

31, 1997; no comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 2.7 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; 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.
