SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected entities: Publicly owned

treatment works (POTWs), privately

owned treatment works, new and

existing manufacturing and commercial

dischargers, storm water dischargers,

treatment works treating domestic

sewage (TWTDS), and other entities that

apply for NPDES permits.

Title: Application for NPDES

Discharge Permit and the Sewage

Sludge Management Permit (EPA ICR

No. 0226.13, OMB Control No. 2040–

0086, expiring 8/31/98).

Abstract: This ICR calculates the

burden and costs associated with permit

applications for NPDES discharges and

sewage sludge management activities.

EPA uses the data contained in

applications and supplemental

information requests to set appropriate

permit conditions, issue permits, and

assess permit compliance. EPA

maintains national applications

information in databases, which assist

permit writers in determining permit

conditions. For most permits, EPA has

developed standard application forms.

In some cases, such as requests for

additional information and storm water

applications from municipal separate

sewer systems, standard forms do not

exist because standard forms are not

appropriate for the information

collected or because they have not been

developed. Application forms

correspond to the different types of

applicants, each form requesting

information necessary for issuing

permits to the associated applicants.

Applicants include POTWs, privately

owned treatment works, new and

existing manufacturing and commercial

dischargers, storm water dischargers,

TWTDS, and others. Depending on the

application form they are using,

applicants may be required to supply

information about their facilities,

discharges, treatment systems, sewage

sludge use and disposal practices,

pollutant sampling data, or other

relevant information. Section 308 of the

Clean Water Act authorized EPA to

request from dischargers any

information that may be reasonably

required to carry out the objectives and

provisions of the Act. Under this

authority, EPA sometimes requests

information supplemental to that

contained in permit applications. In its

burden and cost calculations, this ICR

includes requests for information

supplemental to permit applications.

Other parts of the Clean Water Act and

federal regulations authorize EPA to

collect information that supplements

permit applications, such as section

403(c). This ICR calculates the burden

and costs for all information collection

activities associated with applications

for permits. Application information is

necessary to obtain an NPDES or sewage

sludge permit. Information provided can

be accessed by the public through a

Freedom of Information Act request. 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 are listed in 40 CFR

part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
