Abstract: This Information Collection 

Request (ICR) renews the National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES) Program ICR and consolidates 

the information collection burden and 

costs associated with activities 

previously reported in 18 of the NPDES 

program or NPDES-related ICRs. It 

calculates the information collection 

burden and costs associated with the 

NPDES program, identifies the types of 

activities regulated under the NPDES 

program, describes the roles and 

responsibilities of state governments 

and the Agency, and presents the 

program areas that address the various 

types of regulated activities. This 

renewal documents the addition of the 

burden and costs for the four existing 

NPDES ICRs listed below. Once this 

renewal ICR is approved, the following 

ICRs will be discontinued: Public 

Notification Requirements for Combined 

Sewer Overflows (CSOs) in the Great 

Lakes Basin (OMB control no. 2040– 

0293, EPA ICR 2562.03, expiration date 

04/30/24); Effluent Limitation 

Guidelines and Standards for the Dental 

Category (OMB control no. 2040–0287, 

EPA ICR no. 2514.03, expiration 11/30/ 

23); 2020 NPDES Multi-Sector General 

Permit (MSGP) for Industrial 

Stormwater Discharges (OMB control 

no. 2040–0300, EPA ICR no. 2612.02, 

expiration 03/31/24); and NPDES 

Electronic Reporting Rule—Phase 2 

Extension (OMB Control No.: 2020– 

0037, EPA ICR No. 2617.02, expiration 

12/31/2023). 

The Clean Water Act (CWA) provides 

that NPDES permits are required for the 

discharge of pollutants to waters of the 

United States. The CWA requires EPA to 

develop and implement the NPDES 

permit program. CWA section 402(b) 

allows states to acquire authority to 

administer the NPDES program, 

enabling them to issue NPDES permits 

for discharges within the state. At 

present, 47 states and the U.S. Virgin 

Islands are authorized to administer the 

NPDES permit program. In states that do 

not have authority for these programs, 

the Agency administers the program and 

issues NPDES permits. Because some 

permit applications are processed by 

states and some by EPA, this ICR 

calculates government burden and cost 

for both authorized states and EPA. See 

Appendix F.1 for a copy of the 

authorizing regulation. 

Form Numbers: EPA Form 3510–1; 

EPA Form 3510–2A; EPA Form 3510– 

2B; EPA Form 3510–2C; EPA Form 

3510–2D; EPA Form 3510–2E; EPA 

Form 3510–2F; EPA Form 3510–2S. 

Respondents/affected entities: Any 

point source discharger of pollutants, 

publicly owned and privately owned 

treatment works (POTWs and PrOTWs), 

industrial dischargers to POTWs and 

PrOTWs, industrial and commercial 

dischargers to water of the United 

States, sewage sludge management and 

disposal operations, large vessels, 

dischargers of stormwater, construction 

sites, municipalities, pesticide 

applicators, local and state 

governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory, sections 301, 302, 304, 306, 

307, 308, 316(b), 401, 402, 403, 405, and 

510 of the CWA; the 1987 Water Quality 

Act (WQA) revisions to CWA section 

402(p); 40 CFR parts 122, 123, 124, and 

125 (and parts 501 and 503 for 

Biosolids); and the Great Lakes Critical 

Programs Act (CPA). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

827,180 (total). (Includes 637 States/ 

Tribes/Territories). 

Frequency of response: Varies 

depending on the specific response 

activity and can range from ongoing and 

monthly to once every five years. 

Total estimated burden: 31,143,503 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,732,287,018 

(per year), includes $22,999,181 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: The 

majority of the burden hour increase 

occurred as a result of an increase in 

EPA’s estimates of permittee 

respondents, which is largely attributed 

to improvements in the NPDES 

Integrated Compliance Information 

System (ICIS–NPDES) database, 

implementation of the Electronic 

Reporting Rule Phase 1, and refined 

estimates. This ICR eliminates the initial 

permit application and compliance 

activities for existing Cooling Water 

Intake Structure (CWIS) facilities, as 

these actions have been completed by 

all existing CWIS facilities. The 

compliance and administration of small 

vessels general permit (sVGP) has been 

removed, which lowered the number of 

vessel respondents significantly.

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. Background 

Registration review is EPA’s periodic 

review of pesticide registrations to 

ensure that each pesticide continues to 

satisfy the statutory standard for 

registration, that is, the pesticide can 

perform its intended function without 

unreasonable adverse effects on human 

health or the environment. As part of 

the registration review process, the 

Agency has completed comprehensive 

draft human health and/or ecological 

risk assessments for all pesticides listed 

in Table 1 in Unit IV. After reviewing 

comments received during the public 

comment period, EPA may issue a 

revised risk assessment, explain any 

changes to the draft risk assessment, and 

respond to comments and may request 

public input on risk mitigation before 

completing a proposed registration 

review decision for the pesticides listed 

in Table 1 in Unit IV. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. 

III. Authority 

EPA is conducting its registration 

review of the chemicals listed in Table 

1 in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the 

Procedural Regulations for Registration 

Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. 

Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among 

other things, that the registrations of 

pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 

years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product 

may be registered or remain registered 

only if it meets the statutory standard 

for registration given in FIFRA section 

3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used 

in accordance with widespread and 

commonly recognized practice, the 

pesticide product must perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on the environment; that 

is, without any unreasonable risk to 

man or the environment, or a human 

dietary risk from residues that result 

from the use of a pesticide in or on food. 

IV. What action is the Agency taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice 

announces the availability of EPA’s 

human health and/or ecological risk 

assessments for the pesticides shown in 

Table 1 and opens a 60-day public 

comment period on the risk 

assessments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

Following the passage of the historic 

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) will be making significant 

investments in the health, equity, and 

resilience of American communities. 

With unprecedented funding to support 

our national infrastructure, EPA will 

improve people’s health and safety, help 

create good-paying jobs, and increase 

climate resilience throughout the 

country. 

As EPA works to implement the law, 

EPA has asked the LGAC for their input 

on the following: 

• How can we ensure that 

investments in water infrastructure 

promote sustainable and healthy 

communities? 

• Are there specific recommendations 

for how EPA can prioritize equity, 

environmental justice, and the lived 

experience of those most impacted by 

water pollution? 

• Are there technical resources or 

assistance that EPA can provide to help 

local governments upgrade their water 

and wastewater infrastructure? 

• How can EPA make funding more 

accessible to local governments and 

more adaptable to the unique needs a 

community faces—particularly 

underserved communities? 

• Are there specific recommendations 

for how EPA can include workforce 

development as part of the 

implementation of this bill? 

• Do you have specific 

recommendations for how EPA can 

encourage consideration of climate 

impacts (e.g., GHG mitigation, 

adaptation, resilience) in the projects 

funded? 

• Is there specific technical assistance 

that EPA should offer local governments 

to ensure they plan for, develop and 

build infrastructure that supports 

multiple community goals, including 

improving environmental and economic 

outcomes, supporting equity and 

environmental justice, and increasing 

communities’ abilities to create climate 

resilience? 

• Is there specific input you have for 

EPA as it develops the Clean School Bus 

program the in BIL? 

During this meeting the LGAC will 

present, finalize and formally adopt 

final recommendations for charge 

questions noted above. 

Prior to the LGAC meeting, the SCAS 

will convene to discuss and provide 

input from their perspective on the 

LGAC’s draft recommendations for 

implementation of the Bipartisan 

Infrastructure Law (BIL). 

All interested persons are invited to 

attend and participate. The SCAS will 

hear comments from the public from 

12:45–1:00 p.m. (EST). The LGAC will
