0002.14), approved through December 31, 2011. A framework to implement the awards recognition program is at 40 CFR part 105.

The respondent will read the instructions for completing the recognition application for the Sustainable Water Leadership Program. The respondent will use existing files, planning and progress reports, and institutional memory to complete the application. Based on the instructions provided with the application, the respondent will compile the requested information. The requested design and operating information should be readily available from wastewater/drinking water/storm water treatment facility, or pollution abatement program operating records. The data collection may include flow, permit, operating and
environmental data.

The information collection will be used by the Office of Water, Office of Wastewater Management, to evaluate and determine if required criteria are met for recognition. Based on the collection, national panels will evaluate the applicant’s efforts and recommend finalists. Recognized entities will receive a letter and certificate signed by
the EPA Administrator or Assistant Administrator for Water, their utility name on EPA and outside organization Web sites, and announcements of their recognition at national conferences. EPA Regions may also opt to hold Regional

ceremonies.

Burden Statement: The total number of respondents for the recognition program is estimated to be 2,036 (includes 530 respondents in Year 1 of the Program and 1,507 in Year 3) with a total annual average of 679. The responses are collected every other year. The respondents reporting burden of 20 person hours per response is estimated to be 40,723 hours and a cost of $1.8
million. Total estimated annual burden for this collection is 13,574 hours and $614,919 (all labor cost). For additional details on the estimated burden, please see docket ID number EPA–HQ–OW–
2003–0064. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency.
This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and use 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; 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 information. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly
summarized here:

Estimated total number of potential respondents: 679.

Frequency of response: Biennial
Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.

Estimated total annual burden hours: 13,574 hours.

Estimated total annual costs: $614,919. This includes an estimated burden cost of $614,919 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 12,414 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This change is primarily the result of (1) changes and adjustments in the number and types of applicants eligible for recognition under the Sustainable Water Leadership Program. The new Sustainable Water Leadership Program expands the universe of eligible entities to include community drinking water utilities and systems, as well as managed decentralized treatment systems (public or private). (2) EPA updated the estimated time spent by respondents to complete the revised Recognition Application for Sustainable Water Leadership Program to 20 hours per respondent. (3) The ICR now includes the applicant respondent burden
consolidated from the Pretreatment ICR (OMB Control No. 2040–0009, EPA ICR No. 0002.14), which was previous included in only the Pretreatment ICR
and not this ICR.

What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under **FOR**

**Draft Toxicological Review of Inorganic Arsenic: In Support of the**  **Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information System**  **(IRIS)**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice of public comment period.

**SUMMARY :**  EPA is announcing a 60-day public comment period for the 2010 draft document titled, ‘‘Toxicological Review of Inorganic Arsenic: In Support of the Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) ’’ (EPA/635/R–10/001). The draft document was prepared by the National
Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD). The Toxicological Review of Inorganic
Arsenic was submitted to the EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB) for external peer review in 2005. The SAB completed its review and submitted its final report to the EPA Administrator in June 2007 ( see EPA–SAB–07–008 at www.epa.gov/sab). EPA revised the Toxicological Review in response to the
SAB comments. A detailed account of the SAB (2007) recommendations and EPA’s response is provided in Appendix A of the 2010 draft Toxicological Review of Inorganic Arsenic.

EPA has now submitted the 2010 draft Toxicological Review to the SAB for a focused peer review of EPA’s responses to key SAB (2007) recommendations. EPA is also seeking a focused review by the public on EPA’s interpretation and implementation of key SAB (2007) external peer review recommendations. The public comment period and SAB review are separate processes that provide opportunities for all interested parties to comment on the document. SAB’s peer review meeting will be announced in a separate Federal Register notice. EPA intends to forward the public comments that are submitted
in accordance with this notice to the SAB peer review panel prior to the meeting for their consideration. However, because of the timing of the SAB’s peer review meeting, EPA can

only guarantee that those comments submitted by March 26, 2010, in response to this Federal Register notice will be provided to the SAB panel prior to the SAB meeting. Comments received after March 26 will still be provided to the SAB panel and will inform the Agency’s revision of the draft assessment, but EPA cannot guarantee that the panel will have them prior to the peer review meeting. In addition, EPA cannot grant any requests for an extension of the comment period because of the scheduled SAB peer review meeting. When finalizing the Toxicological Review of Inorganic Arsenic, EPA intends to consider any public comments that EPA receives in
accordance with this notice.

EPA is releasing this draft documentsolely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under applicable information quality guidelines. This document has not been formally disseminated by EPA. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any Agency policy or determination.

**DATES :**  The public comment period begins February 19, 2010, and ends April 20, 2010. Comments should be in writing and must be received by EPA by April 20, 2010.

EPA can only guarantee that those comments submitted by March 26, 2010, in response to this Federal Register notice will be provided to the SAB panel prior to the SAB meeting.
Comments received after March 26 will still be provided to the SAB panel and will inform the Agency’s revision of the draft assessment, but EPA cannot guarantee that the panel will have them prior to the peer review meeting.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. Information About IRIS

IRIS is a human health assessment program that evaluates quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that may result from exposure to specific chemical substances found in the environment. Through the IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest quality science-based human health assessments to support the Agency’s regulatory activities. The IRIS database
contains information for more than 540
chemical substances that can be used to support the first two steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of the risk assessment process. When supported by available data, IRIS provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference concentrations (RfCs) for chronic noncancer health effects, and oral slope
factors and inhalation unit risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined with specific exposure information, government and private entities use IRIS to help characterize public health risks of chemical substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk management decisions designed to protect public health.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9.

Notice

In accordance with Section 309(a) of the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to make its comments on EISs issued by other Federal agencies public. Historically, EPA has met this mandate by publishing weekly notices of availability of EPA comments, which includes a brief summary of EPA’s comment letters, in the Federal Register. Since February 2008, EPA has been including its comment letters on
EISs on its Web site at: http:// www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/
eisdata.html. Including the entire EIS
comment letters on the Web site satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement
to make EPA’s comments on EISs available to the public. Accordingly, after March 31, 2010, EPA will discontinue the publication of this notice of availability of EPA comments
in the Federal Register.

Federal Offices in Washington, DC,
were closed because of inclement weather from February 8–11, 2010. Accordingly the Notice of Availability for the Weekly Receipt of Environmental Impact Statements filed 02/01/2010 through 02/05/2010 was not published in the Federal Register on February 12, 2010.
