applications. This ICR identifies the 

types of activities regulated and 

calculates the burden and associated 

costs of the revisions to be included in 

the first final rule, the National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES): Specific Provisions Affecting 

Applications and Program Updates (RIN 

2040–AF25), and corresponding 

updated NPDES permit application 

forms. 

Form numbers: OMB. No. 2040–0004; 

OMB. No. 2040–0086; OMB. No. 2040– 

0188; OMB. No. 2040–0211; OMB. No. 

2040–0250; OMB. No. 2040–0284; OMB. 

No. 1004–0189; OMB. No. 0596–0082. 

Respondents/affected entities: The 

respondents affected by this collection 

activity include: The EPA; authorized 

state, territorial, and tribal programs; 

and the regulated community. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

The collection is required pursuant to 

CWA section 402, as implemented by 

the revisions to 40 CFR parts 122, 124, 

and 125. Compliance with the updated 

application requirements and 

corresponding updated application 

forms is mandatory. The opportunity for 

NPDES permitting authorities to provide 

public notice of NPDES permit actions 

using the internet in lieu of the 

newspaper is voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

20,663 applicants/permittees; 20,019 

state, territory, and tribal governments; 

644 by the EPA (total: 41,326). 

Frequency of response: The burden 

would be realized once within a fiveyear period, with the assumption that 

each permit would be reapplied for and 

renewed once every five years. 

Total estimated burden: A reduction 

of 19,305 hours (per year). Burden is 

defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: A savings of 

$2,524,064 (per year), includes a savings 

of $1,419,673 annualized capital or 

operation and maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is an 

overall decrease of 19,305 hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden. This 

decrease is due to: Estimated burden 

reduction to both permittees and 

permitting authorities resulting from 

revised application forms that are easier 

to follow and redesigned to reduce 

confusion and support completion; 

permitting authorities exercising the 

option to publicly notice permitting 

decisions through public websites rather 

than through publication in 

newspapers, and; additional minor 

reductions in burden associated with 

permitting authority review of 

applications submitted by POTWs with 

pretreatment programs and applications 

submitted by permittees indicating the 

use of cooling water. These changes are 

due to changes in program 

requirements, as well as updated and 

improved NPDES permit application 

forms.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before November 5, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–

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: This ICR renewal is related 

to EPA’s diesel fuel regulations under 

40 CFR part 80, Subpart I, applicable to 

highway (motor vehicle) diesel fuel and 

non-road, locomotive and marine diesel 

fuel (NRLM), Emission Control Area 

(ECA) marine fuel, and heating oil. Most 

of the information collected under this 

ICR is used to evaluate compliance with 

the requirements of the regulations. 

Motor vehicle diesel fuel and just about 

all NRLM diesel fuel now meet a 15 part 

per million sulfur standard. The 

activities associated with this ICR 

include: registration (new refiners and 

importers, updates to existing 

registrations); submission of corrections 

to prior compliance reports; granting of 

research and development exemptions; 

generation and retention of quality 

assurance records; general 

recordkeeping; batch testing for sulfur 

content; and the production of product 

transfer documents and pump labels. 

Form numbers: Only ECA0300 and 

DLQ001 are active. There may be 

resubmissions of the others.
