year. A source submitting an RMP 

update to comply with its five-year 

compliance deadline will often submit 

its updated RMP several days or weeks 

early to ensure it is received by EPA 

before its deadline, and other sources 

revised and resubmitted their RMPs 

between the five-year deadlines because 

of changes occurring at the source that 

triggered an earlier resubmission. These 

sources were then assigned a new fiveyear compliance deadline based on the 

date of their most recent revised plan 

submission. However, because most 

sources are not required to resubmit 

earlier than their five-year compliance 

deadline, the next RMP submission 

deadline for most sources occurs in 

2019. The remaining sources have been 

assigned a different deadline in 2020, 

2021, 2022 or 2023, based on the date 

of their most recent submission. Only 

the first three years are within the 

period covered by this ICR. 

In this ICR, EPA has accounted for 

burden for new sources that may 

become subject to the regulations, 

currently covered sources with 

compliance deadlines in this ICR period 

(2019 to 2021), sources that are out of 

compliance since the last regulatory 

deadline but are expected to comply 

during this ICR period, and sources that 

have deadlines beyond this ICR period 

but are required to comply with certain 

prevention program documentation 

requirements during this ICR period.

Plan Form: EPA Form 8700–25; CBI 

Substantiation Form: EPA Form 8700– 

27; CBI Unsanitized Data Element Form: 

EPA Form 8700–28. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

chemical manufacturers, petroleum 

refineries, water treatment systems, 

agricultural chemical distributors, 

refrigerated warehouses, chemical 

distributors, non-chemical 

manufacturers, wholesale fuel 

distributors, energy generation facilities, 

etc. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 68). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

12,500 (total). This figure will be 

updated as needed during the 60-day 

OMB review period. 

Frequency of response: Sources must 

resubmit RMPs at least every five years 

and update certain on-site 

documentation more frequently. 

Total estimated burden: 80,546 hours 

(per year). This figure will be updated 

as needed during the 60-day OMB 

review period. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $6,736,212 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation maintenance costs. This figure 

will be updated with most recent 

available wage rates from BLS and to 

account for any changes in O&M costs, 

burden and number of respondents. 

Changes in estimates: The above 

burden estimates are based on the 

current approved ICR. In the final notice 

for the renewed ICR, EPA will publish 

revised burden estimates based on 

updates to respondent data and unit 

costs. The revised burden estimates may 

increase from the current ICR, because 

the new ICR period will include a fiveyear reporting cycle year, whereas the 

current approved ICR period did not 

include a five-year reporting cycle year. 

Any change in burden will be described 

and explained in this section when the 

updated ICR Supporting Statement is 

completed during the 60-day OMB 

review period.

Microbial Rules Renewal Information 

Collection Request (EPA ICR No. 

1895.10, EPA–HQ–OW–2011–0442) 

Abstract: The Microbial Rules 

Renewal ICR examines public water 

system and primacy agency burden and 

costs for recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements in support of the microbial 

drinking water regulations. These 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements are mandatory for 

compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 

142. The following microbial 

regulations are included: The Surface 

Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), the Total 

Coliform Rule (TCR), the Revised Total 

Coliform Rule (RTCR), the Interim 

Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule 

(IESWTR), the Filter Backwash 

Recycling Rule (FBRR), the Long Term 

1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment 

Rule (LT1ESWTR), the Long Term 2 

Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule 

(LT2ESWTR), the Ground Water Rule 

(GWR) and the Aircraft Drinking Water 

Rule (ADWR). Future microbial-related 

rulemakings will be added to this 

consolidated ICR after the regulations 

are promulgated and the initial, rulespecific, ICRs are due to expire. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

public water systems and primacy 

agencies. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR 

parts 141 and 142. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

149,864 (total). 

Frequency of response: Varies by 

requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly, 

quarterly, semi-annually, and annually). 

Total estimated burden: 14,683,598 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $652,507,000 

(per year), includes $110,017,000 

annualized capital or operation and 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is no 

estimated increase or decrease of hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared to what was identified 

in the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

Public Water System Supervision 

Program Renewal Information 

Collection Request (EPA ICR No. 

0270.47, EPA–HQ–OW–2011–0443) 

Abstract: The Public Water System 

Supervision (PWSS) Program Renewal 

ICR examines the burden to public 

water systems, primacy agencies, and 

tribal operator certification providers 

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). The following activities 

have recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements that are mandatory for 

compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 

142: the Consumer Confidence Report 

Rule (CCRs), the Variance and 

Exemption Rule (V/E Rule), General 

State Primacy Activities, the Public 

Notification Rule (PN), and Proficiency 

Testing Studies for Drinking Water 

Laboratories. The information collection 

activities for both the Operator 

Certification and the Capacity 

Development Program are driven by the 

grant withholding and reporting 

provisions under Sections 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. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

new and existing public water systems 

and primacy agencies. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR 

parts 141 and 142. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

151,724 (total). 

Frequency of response: Varies by 

requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly, 

quarterly, semi-annually, and annually). 

Total estimated burden: 3,769,213 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $187,603,000 

(per year), includes $42,103,000 

annualized capital or operation and 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is an 

expected decrease of hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

to what was identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB, due to use 

of centralized software for data entry 

and rule compliance calculations. The 

updated, estimated burden will be 

incorporated into a revised supporting 

statement (which will be available in 

the docket) and in a second Federal 

Register document (for public comment) 

at a later date, to be determined, before 

the ICR package is sent to OMB for 

approval.

Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act 

(Act) requires the EPA to operate a 

federal operating permits program in 

areas not subject to an approved state 

program. The EPA regulations setting 

forth the requirements for the federal 

(EPA) operating permit program are at 

40 CFR part 71. The part 71 program is 

designed to be implemented primarily 

by the EPA in all areas where state and 

local agencies do not have jurisdiction, 

such as Indian country and offshore, 

beyond states’ seaward boundaries. The 

EPA may also delegate authority to 

implement the part 71 program on its 

behalf to a state, local or tribal agency, 

if the agency requests delegation and 

makes certain showings regarding its 

authority and ability to implement the 

program. One such delegate agency for 

the part 71 program exists at present. 

In order to receive an operating 

permit for a major or other source 

subject to the permitting program, the 

applicant must conduct the necessary 

research, perform the appropriate 

analyses, and prepare the permit 

application with documentation to 

demonstrate that its facility meets all 

applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Specific activities and 

requirements are listed and described in 

the Supporting Statement for the part 71 

ICR. 

Under part 71, the permitting 

authority (the EPA or a delegate agency) 

reviews permit applications, provides 

for public review of proposed permits, 

issues permits based on consideration of 

all technical factors and public input, 

and reviews information submittals 

required of sources during the term of 

the permit. Under part 71, the EPA 

reviews certain actions and performs 

oversight of any delegate agency, 

consistent with the terms of a delegation 

agreement. Consequently, information 

prepared and submitted by sources is 

essential for sources to receive permits, 

and for federal and tribal permitting 

agencies to adequately review the 

permit applications and issue the 

permits, oversee implementation of the 

permits, and properly administer and 

manage the program. 

Information that is collected is 

handled according to the EPA’s policies 

set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, 

subpart B—Confidentiality of Business 

Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also 

section 114(c) of the Act. 

Form Numbers: The forms are 5900–
