Title: Public Water System 

Supervision Program (Renewal) 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0270.45, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0090 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2012. 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 Code of 

Federal Regulations, 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 Public Water System 

Supervision (PWSS) Program Renewal 

ICR examines public water system, 

primacy agency, EPA, and tribal 

operator certification provider burden 

and costs for ‘‘cross-cutting’’ 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements (i.e., the burden and costs 

for complying with drinking water 

information requirements that are not 

associated with contaminant-specific 

rulemakings). These activities which 

have record keeping and reporting 

requirements that are mandatory for 

compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 

142 include the following: Consumer 

Confidence Reports (CCRs), Primacy 

Regulation Activities, Variance and 

Exemption Rule (V/E Rule), General 

State Primacy Activities, Public 

Notification (PN) and Proficiency 

Testing (PT) Studies for Drinking Water 

Laboratories. The information collection 

activities for both the Operator 

Certification/Expense Reimbursement 

Grant Program and the Capacity 

Development Program are driven by the 

grant withholding and reporting 

provisions under § 1419 and § 1420, 

respectively, of the Safe Drinking Water 

Act. Although the Tribal Operator 

Certification Program is voluntary, the 

information collection is driven by grant 

eligibility requirements outlined in the 

Drinking Water Infrastructure Grant 

Tribal Set-Aside Program Final 

Guidelines and the Tribal Drinking 

Water Operator Certification Program 

Guidelines. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4.06 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: 

Owners/operators of public water 

systems who must report to the primacy 

agency. Primacy agencies, which 

include States, Tribes (if they have been 

authorized to act as primacy agencies), 

and EPA Regions that act as primacy 

agencies in Indian country and States 

that do not have primacy. Laboratories 

conducting PT to achieve state 

certification, which permits them to 

analyze samples for compliance with 

National Primary Drinking Water 

Regulations (NPDWRs). (PT vendors are 

not considered respondents because 

they are paid for their incurred burden 

and costs via the prices that laboratories 

pay for the PT standards.) 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

154,938. 

Frequency of Response: Varies by 

requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly, 

quarterly, semi-annually, annually, 

biennially, and every 3, 6, and 9 years). 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,113,408. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$187,647,000, which includes 

$40,019,000 in capital and operating & 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 199,864 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due primarily 

to consultations with respondents 

which yielded more accurate estimates 

of the burden for various activities. 

These were partially offset by burden 

decreases from a smaller respondent 

universe and reduced reporting due to 

a new enforcement tracking system and 

the discontinuation of a grant program.

Title: NSPS for Kraft Pulp Mills 

(Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1055.10, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0021. 

ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to 

expire on April 30, 2012. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and 

any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart BB. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must submit initial 

notification, performance tests, and 

periodic reports and results. Owners or 

operators are also required to maintain 

records of the occurrence and duration 

of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. Reports are also required, at 

a minimum, semiannually. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this part shall maintain a 

file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least two years following 

the date of such measurements, 

maintenance reports and records. All 

reports are sent to the delegated state or 

local authority. In the event that there 

is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 60, subpart BB as 

authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that have been 

determined to be private. 

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 

Number for EPA’s regulations are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information estimated 

to average 37 hours per response. 

‘‘Burden’’ means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

and 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. All existing 

ways will have to adjust to comply with 

any previously-applicable instructions 

and requirements that 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: 

Owners and operators of kraft pulp 

mills. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

106. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

16,086. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$5,723,477, which is comprised of 

$1,541,377 in labor costs, $344,900 in 

capital/startup costs, and operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs of $3,837,200. 

Changes in the Estimates: The 

increase in burden from the most 

recently approved ICR is due to two 

adjustments: (1) There is an increase in 

the average number of respondents 

expected to become subject to the 

standards over the next three years; and 

(2) this ICR uses updates labor rates for 

each of the three labor categories. 

The increase in O&M costs is due to 

an increase in the average number of 

respondents expected to become subject 

to the standards over the next three 

years. 

There is also an increase in Agency 

costs, which is due to the use of the 

most updated labor rates.
