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.
