Title: National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for 

Point Source Discharges from the 

Application of Pesticides to Waters of 

the United States. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2397.01, 

OMB Control No. 2040–New. 

ICR Status: This ICR is for a new 

information collection activity. 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: This Information Collection 

Request (ICR) calculates the burden and 

costs associated with information 

collection and reporting activities from 

EPA and State NPDES general permits 

for point source discharges from the 

application of pesticides to waters of the 

United States. On November 27, 2006, 

EPA issued a final rule (hereinafter 

called the ‘‘2006 NPDES Pesticides 

Rule’’) clarifying circumstances in 

which an NPDES permit was not 

required to apply pesticide to, or over, 

including near, waters of the U.S. On 

January 9, 2009, the Sixth Circuit Court 

vacated EPA’s 2006 NPDES Pesticides 

Rule. As a result of the Court’s decision, 

beginning October 31, 2011 NPDES 

permits will be required for discharges 

to waters of the U.S. from the 

application of biological pesticides and 

chemical pesticides that leave a residue. 

Regulations governing permit 

requirements for NPDES discharges are 

codified at 40 CFR parts 122. This ICR 

includes information submitted or 

recorded by permittees as well as 

information used primarily by 

permitting authorities. The permitting 

authority will use the information to 

assess permittee compliance and 

modify/add new permit requirements as 

appropriate. The estimated burden in 

this ICR is based on EPA’s NPDES 

Pesticide General Permit (PGP). EPA 

posted the final draft PGP on the 

Agency’s Web site on April 1, 2011. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.7 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 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: 

Industries potentially covered by the 

general permits include but are not 

limited to the following NAICS (North 

American Industry Classification 

System) codes: 111 Crop Production; 

113110 Timber Tract Operations; 

113210 Forest Nurseries Gathering of 

Forest Products; 221310 Water Supply 

for Irrigation; 923120 Administration of 

Public Health Programs; 924110 

Administration of Air and Water 

Resource and Solid Waste Management 

Programs; 924120 Administration of 

Conservation Programs; and 221 

Utilities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

365,000 permittees, 45 permitting 

authorities (44 states and Virgin 

Islands). 

Frequency of Response: varies from 

once every 5 years to occasionally as 

needed. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

847,652 hours (841,037 hrs for 

permittees and 6,615 hrs for permitting 

authorities). 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$48,034,676 ($47,783,297 for permittees 

and $251,379 for permitting authorities), 

includes $0 annualized capital or O&M 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 847,652 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to a 

change in NPDES program requirements 

as result of the Sixth Circuit Court’s 

decision.
