Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; Safe 

Drinking Water Act State Revolving 

Fund Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Safe Drinking Water Act State 

Revolving Fund Program’’ (EPA ICR No. 

1803.08, OMB Control No. 2040–0185) 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, 

the EPA is soliciting public comments 

on specific aspects of the proposed 

information collection as described in 

the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section. 

This is a proposed extension of the ICR, 

which is currently approved through 

April 30, 2019. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before October 12, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OW–2002–0059, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to OW-Docket@

epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 

20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes profanity, threats, 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301

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

the PRA, the 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. The 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, the 

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: The Safe Drinking Water Act 

(SDWA) Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. 

104–182) authorized the creation of the 

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund 

(DWSRF; the Fund) program in each 

state and Puerto Rico, to assist public 

water systems in financing the costs of 

infrastructure needed to achieve or 

maintain compliance with the SDWA 

requirements and to protect public 

health. The SDWA, section 1452, 

authorizes the Administrator of the EPA 

to award capitalization grants to the 

states and Puerto Rico which, in turn, 

provide low-cost loans and other types 

of assistance to eligible drinking water 

systems. States can also reserve a 

portion of their grants to conduct 

various set-aside activities. The 

information collection activities will 

occur primarily at the program level 

through the (1) Capitalization Grant 

Application and Agreement/State 

Intended Use Plan; (2) Biennial Report; 

(3) Annual Audit; (4) Assistance 

Application Review; and (5) DWSRF 

National Information Management 

System and the Projects and Benefits 

Reporting System. 

(1) Capitalization Grant Application 

and Agreement/State Intended Use Plan: 

The state must prepare a Capitalization 

Grant Application that includes an 

Intended Use Plan (IUP), outlining in 

detail how it will use all the funds 

covered by the capitalization grant. The 

state may, as an alternative, develop the 

IUP in a two-part process, with one part 

identifying the distribution and uses of 

the funds among the various set-asides 

in the DWSRF program and the other 

part dealing with project assistance from 

the Fund. 

(2) Biennial Report: The state must 

agree to complete and submit a Biennial 

Report on the uses of the capitalization 

grant. The scope of the report must 

cover assistance provided by the Fund 

and all other set-aside activities 

included under the Capital Grant 

Agreement. States that jointly 

administer DWSRF and Clean Water 

State Revolving Fund (CWSRF)

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 156 / Monday, August 13, 2018 / Notices 40037 

programs, in accordance with the 

SDWA, section 1452(g)(1), may submit 

reports (according to the schedule 

specified for each program) that cover 

both programs. 

(3) Annual Audit: A state must 

comply with the provisions of the 

Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996. 

Best management practices suggest and 

the EPA recommends that a state 

conduct an annual independent audit of 

its DWSRF program. The scope of the 

report must cover the DWSRF and all 

other set-aside activities included in the 

Capitalization Grant Agreement. States 

that jointly administer DWSRF and 

CWSRF programs, in accordance with 

the SDWA, section 1452(g)(1), may 

submit audits that cover both programs 

but which report financial information 

for each program separately. 

(4) Assistance Application Review: 

Local applicants seeking financial 

assistance must prepare and submit 

DWSRF loan applications. States then 

review completed loan applications and 

verify that proposed projects will 

comply with applicable federal and 

state requirements. 

(5) DWSRF National Information 

Management System (DWNIMS) and the 

Projects and Benefits Reporting System 

(PBR): To ensure that funds are being 

used in an expeditious and timely 

manner for eligible projects and 

expenses, states must annually enter 

state-level financial data into the 

DWNIMS and quarterly enter projectlevel data into the PBR. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

affected by this action are states and 

local governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit per 

the Safe Drinking Water Act, section 

1452(g)(1). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

379 state and local respondents (total). 

Frequency of response: Varies by 

requirement (i.e., quarterly, semiannually, and annually). 

Total estimated burden: 88,792.5 

hours (per year) for state and local 

respondents. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $3,355,516 (per 

year) for state and local respondents. 

Changes in estimates: The EPA 

expects a decrease in the total estimated 

respondent burden cost compared with 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

The change in cost is due to moving 

from contractor-provided hourly cost 

rates to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 

provided hourly cost rates. Using BLS 

rates will ensure that the ICR is more 

transparent and replicable. The present 

BLS rates are lower than historical 

contractor-provided rates.
