Reporting Requirements for BEACH 

Act Grants (Renewal) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Information collection request for 

reporting requirements for BEACH act 

grants (renewal)’’ (EPA ICR No. 2048.05, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0244) to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. This is a proposed 

extension of the ICR, which is currently 

approved through December 31, 2015. 

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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before December 14, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ 

20415–0614 online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC 20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes profanity, threats, 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute.

in detail the information that the EPA 

will be collecting are available in the 

public docket for this ICR. The docket

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

the PRA, EPA is soliciting 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 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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The Beaches Environmental 

Assessment and Coastal Health 

(BEACH) Act amends the Clean Water 

Act (CWA) in part and authorizes the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) to award BEACH Act Program 

Development and Implementation 

Grants to coastal and Great Lakes states, 

tribes, and territories (collectively 

referred to as states) for their beach 

monitoring and notification programs. 

The grants will assist those states to 

develop and implement a consistent 

approach to monitor recreational water 

quality; assess, manage, and 

communicate health risks from 

waterborne microbial contamination; 

notify the public of pollution 

occurrences, and post beach advisories 

and closures to prevent public exposure 

to microbial pathogens. To qualify for a 

BEACH Act Grant, a state must submit 

information to EPA documenting that its 

beach monitoring and notification 

program is consistent with 11 

performance criteria outlined in the 

National Beach Guidance and Required 

Performance Criteria for Grants, 2014 

Edition. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

environmental and public health 

agencies in coastal and Great Lakes 

states, territories, and tribes. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain the grants as directed 

by the Beaches Environmental 

Assessment and Coastal Health 

(BEACH) Act amendment to the Clean 

Water Act (CWA). 

Estimated number of respondents: 38. 

Frequency of response: Submitting 

monitoring and notification reports 

quarterly, all other reporting annual. 

Total estimated burden: 92,391 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $13,302,102 (per 

year), includes $9,731,280 operation & 

maintenance costs. There are no capital 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of 3,579 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to an 

additional respondent qualifying for a 

grant and to additional performance 

criteria related to public evaluation of 

programs and implementation 

schedules, which are discussed in the 

updated grant guidance document, 

National Beach Guidance and Required 

Performance Criteria for Grants, 2014 

Edition.
