to respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number.

or before September 15, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OW–2003–0013, online using

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will

docket for this ICR. 

How can I access the docket and/or 

submit comments? 

EPA has established a public docket 

for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA– 

HQ–OW–2003–0013, which is available 

for online viewing at http://

www.regulations.gov, or in person 

viewing at the Water Docket in the EPA 

Docket Center (EPA/DC), WJC West, 

Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. 

NW., Washington, DC. The telephone 

for the Water Docket is 202–566–2426. 

Use http://www.regulations.gov to 

obtain a copy of the draft collection of 

information, submit or view public 

comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the docket, and to access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

the PRA, EPA solicits 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
41548 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 136 / Wednesday, July 16, 2014 / Notices 

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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under the DATES section. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are community 

water systems serving more than 3,300 

persons. 

Title: Title IV of the Public Health 

Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness 

and Response Act of 2002: Drinking 

Water Security and Safety (Act). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2103.05; 

OMB Control No. 2040–0253. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

2014. 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. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are 

displayed either by publication in the 

Federal Register or by other appropriate 

means, such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Section 1433 of the Safe 

Drinking Water Act, as amended by the 

Bioterrorism Act requires each 

community water system serving a 

population of more than 3,300 people to 

conduct a vulnerability assessment of its 

water system and to prepare or revise an 

emergency response plan that 

incorporates the results of the 

vulnerability assessment. These 

requirements are mandatory under the 

statute. EPA will continue to use the 

information collected under this ICR to 

determine whether community water 

systems have conducted vulnerability 

assessments and prepared or revised 

emergency response plans in 

compliance with Section 1433. EPA is 

required to protect all vulnerability 

assessments and all information derived 

from them from disclosure to 

unauthorized parties and has 

established an Information Protection 

Protocol describing how that will be 

accomplished. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 117.9 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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 the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 80. 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

8,994. 

Estimated total annual costs: $77,252. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $1,035/respondent and an estimated 

cost of $16,849 for capital and 

maintenance/operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is no decrease in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This reflects EPA’s 

continued need to collect documents 

that were included in the original 

estimate, but still have not been 

submitted to the Agency. 

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

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
