ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Clean Water Act Section 404 StateAssumed Programs’’ (EPA ICR No. 

0220.12, OMB Control No. 2040–0168) 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork

number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before December 23, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OW–2005–0023, online using

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: Section 404(g) of the Clean 

Water Act authorizes States [and Tribes] 

to assume the section 404 permit 

program for discharges of dredged or fill 

material into certain Waters of the U.S. 

This ICR covers the collection of 

information EPA needs to perform its 

program approval and oversight 

responsibilities and the State/Tribe 

needs to implement its program. 

Request to assume CWA section 404 

permit program. States/Tribes must 

demonstrate that they meet the statutory 

and regulatory requirements (40 CFR 

233) for an approvable program. 

Specified information and documents 

must be submitted by the State/Tribe to 

EPA to request assumption and must be 

sufficient to enable EPA to undertake a 

thorough analysis of the State/Tribal 

program. Once the required information 

and documents are submitted and EPA 

has a complete assumption request 

package, the statutory time clock for 

EPA’s decision to either approve or 

disapprove the State/Tribe’s assumption 

request starts. The information 

contained in the assumption request 

submission is provided to the other 

involved Federal agencies (Corps of 

Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife 

Service, and National Marine Fisheries 

Service) and to the general public for 

review and comment. 

States/Tribes with assumed programs 

must be able to issue permits that assure 

compliance with all applicable statutory 

and regulatory requirements, including 

the 404(b)(1) Guidelines. Sufficient 

information must be provided in the 

application so that States/Tribes, and 

Federal agencies reviewing the permit, 

are able to evaluate, avoid, minimize 

and compensate for any anticipated 

impacts resulting from the proposed 

project. EPA’s assumption regulations 

establish required and recommended 

elements that should be included in the 

State/Tribe’s permit application, so that 

sufficient information is available to 

make a thorough analysis of anticipated 

impacts. (40 CFR 233.30). These 

minimum information requirements 

generally reflect the information that 

must be submitted when applying for a 

section 404 permit from the Corps of 

Engineers. (CWA section 404(h); CWA 

section 404(j); 40 CFR 230.10, 233.20, 

233.21, 233.34, and 233.50; 33 CFR 

325). 

EPA has an oversight role for assumed 

404 permitting programs to ensure that 

State/Tribal programs are in compliance 

with applicable requirements and that 

State/Tribal permit decisions adequately 

consider, avoid, minimize and 

compensate for anticipated impacts. 

States/Tribes must evaluate their 

programs annually and submit the 

results in a report to EPA. EPA’s 

assumption regulations establish 

minimum requirements for the annual 

report (40 CFR 233.52). 

The information included in the 

State/Tribe’s assumption request and 

the information included in a permit 

application is made available for public 

review and comment. The information 

included in the annual report to EPA is 

made available to the public. EPA does 

not make any assurances of 

confidentiality for this information. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

those States/Tribes requesting 

assumption of the Clean Water Act 

section 404 permit program; States/


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with FRONT MATTER
62630 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 2013 / Notices 

Tribes with approved assumed 

programs; and permit applicants in 

States/Tribes with assumed programs. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 

CFR 233) 

Estimated number of respondents: 2 

States/Tribes to request program 

assumption; 20,000 permit applicants; 

and 4 States/Tribes which have 

assumed the program. 

Frequency of response: States/Tribes 

will respond one time to request 

assumption and once the program is 

approved they will respond annually for 

the annual permit and annual report; 

permit applicants will respond one time 

when requesting a permit. 

Total estimated burden: The public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to be 101,360 hours per year. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: Costs to states 

for assumed Section 404 permit 

programs will vary widely by state and 

permit, however there are $0 capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change in hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. 

Dated: September 27, 2013.

Acting Director, Office of Wetlands, Oceans,

Abstract: The NSPS for the Magnetic 

Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, 

subpart SSS) were: Proposed on January 

22, 1986; promulgated on October 3, 

1988; and last amended on February 12, 

1999. 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 SSS. Owners 

or operators of the affected facilities 

must make an initial notification, 

performance tests, periodic reports, and 

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 required 

semiannually at a minimum. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Magnetic tape coating facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

SSS). 

Estimated number of respondents: 6 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, quarterly, and 

semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 2,017 hours 

(per year). ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $283,727 (per 

year), includes $86,400 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is no 

change in labor hours in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years; and 

(2) the growth rate for the industry is 

very low, negative or non-existent, so 

there is no significant change in the 

overall burden. However, there is an 

adjustment increase in both the 

respondent and Agency burden costs 

due to an increase in labor rates.
