OMB Control Number: 2040

- AD94

EPA ICR Number: 2466.01

. The description of reporting and recordkeeping burden required for the full rule implementation, which

exceeds the 3

- year period for th is ICR , is provided for informational purposes only

# 1(b) Short Characterization

The Revised Total Coliform Rule ( RTC R) requires information collection regarding the

effectiveness of treatment, the integrity of the distribution system, and the possible presence of

fecal contamination

. All public water systems (PWSs) are included in this information collection

. The RTC R use s t otal c oliform s as an indicator to start a n evaluation process that, when

necessary, will require the PWS to correct sanitary defects found

. Under the RTCR, E. coli will

remain a re gulated contaminant with a maximum contaminant level goal ( MCLG ) of zero and a

maximum contaminant level ( MCL ) based on the presence of total coliforms and/or E. coli

. All

fecal coliform provisions (including the MCLG and MCL) are removed in the RTCR

. Unde r the

RTCR there is no longer an MCL violation for multiple total coliform detections. The intent of

the RTCR is to better address the 1989 Total Coliform Rule ( TCR ) objectives and enhance the

multi

- barrier approach to protecting public health, especially with respect to smaller ground

water PWSs.

A large portion of the data collection under the RTCR will involve monitoring,

assessments

, corrective actions

, and public notification

. Under the RTCR, PWSs would continue

to monitor for total coliforms and E. co li in the distribution system

. A ll PWSs that meet certain

trigger conditions (either a Level 1 or Level 2 trigger) are required to complete a Level 1 or

Level 2 assessment and submit an assessment form to the state 1 

# within a specified time period

. For corr ective actions not completed within the specified time period, PWSs must submit to the

state a timetable for completi ng the corrective actions

. Additionally, PWSs would continue to be

required to pr ovide public notification for violations (the level of not ification depends on the

degree of public health implication of the violation)

. Some state activities under t he RTC R

include rev iew and revision of PWSs ’ sampl e siting plans; review of PWSs ’ sampling results;

review of completed assessment forms; consultat ion and coordinat ion with PWSs to determine

the appropriate corrective action to be implemented; review of PWSs ’ certification of public

notification ; and recordkeeping of PWS s’ submissions

.

1 

# The term “state” in the context of this ICR refers to any state or other primacy agency that has oversight authority

for drinking water programs.

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

2 

# PWSs and state s have m onitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping re quire ments under the

n ational p rimary d rinking w ater r egulations (NPDWRs) ( see 40 C FR 2 

# 141.402, 40 CFR 141.403,

40 CFR 142.405, 40 CFR 142.14, 40 CFR 142.15)

. All affected PWSs shall maintain and report

to the state information documenting compliance with the treatment and monitoring

requirements under the NPDWRs

. States shall maintain records essential for program

implementation and oversight

. These records, retained in the Safe Drinking Water Information

System (SDWIS), allow the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) to track PWS compliance

with NPDWRs

.

Data collected under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) are used by EPA ’s Office of

Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW), and other EPA programs such as Superfund and

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

. The data may also be used by the Farmers

Home Administration, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Housing and Urban

Development, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, White House Task forces, the Federal

Emergency Management Agency, t he Food and Drug Administration, other government

agencies, public interest groups, and many pri vate companies and individuals.

This ICR presents the burden and costs of the RTCR to PWSs and state s during the first

three years following rule promulgation

. For th is 3

- year ICR period, the average annual net

change in respondent burden and cost to PW S s and state s is estimated at 839

, 526 hours and

$ 23

, 767

, 060

. The annual net change burden and cost to PWSs is estimated at 747

, 848 hours and

$ 20

, 171 ,63 9

. The estim ated net change annual state burden for this ICR is 91, 678 hours, at an

estimated annual net change cost of $ 3,59 5 ,4 21

. All costs estimated are labor costs

. There are no

operation and maintenance (O&M) or capital costs for the 3

- year period covered by this ICR

. The net change burden and cost estimates are discussed in greater detail in Section 6 of this

document.

Beyond the first three years after rule promulgation (when PWSs and state s need to

comply with the rule ), the burden and costs associated with com plying with the rule for state s

and PWSs will be captured in the Microbial Rules ICR (for monitoring burden and costs) and the

Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) ICR (for public notification reporting and

recordkeeping burden and costs)

. Since there ar e ongoing reporting and recordkeeping

requirements under the 1989 TCR, Appendix A of this ICR shows the net change in the reporting

and recordkeeping burden and costs to be incurred by PWSs under t he RTCR

. Note that the s e

calculations are for informational purposes only and are not part of this ICR.

The total number of respondents for this ICR is 154,894 ; 154,837 respondents are PWS s

and 57 respondents are state s and territories

. The average annual net change in the number of

responses for PWSs is 103,225 a nd averages 2.0 responses per respondent annually

. The average

annual net change in the number of responses for state s is 5 1,669 and averages 906.5 response s

per respondent annually.

This ICR was prepared in accordance with the November 2005 version of E PA’s Guide

# 2 NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

The following sections describe the need for this information collection and the legal

authority under which this information will be collected

. Section 4 contains a summary of the

major recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the RTCR

.

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

T he RTC R achieve s the objectives of the 1989 TCR more effectively and efficiently,

taking into account the changes in regulatory framework for implementing the SDWA over the

past 20 years and experience with the TCR since it was promulgated in 1989

.

The informat ion collected under the RTCR is required by EPA to carry out its monitoring

and enforcement responsibilities under the SDWA

. Without comprehensive, up

- to

- date

information on drinking water contamination, EPA would not be able to meet the SDWA

statutory req uirements

.

Section 1401 (1)(D) of the SDWA requires that a NPDWR

contain s criteria and procedures to assure a supply of drinking water which

dependably complies with such maximum contaminant levels; including accepted

methods for quality control and testin g procedures to insure compliance with such

levels and to insure proper operation a nd maintenance of the system...

This section also authorizes EPA to require PWS s and laboratories to use EPA

- approved

methods and quality assurance criteria for collecting a nd analyzing water samples.

S ection 1445 (a)(1)(A) of the SDWA requires tha t persons subject to the NPDWR

requirements

establish and maintain such records, make such reports, conduct such monitoring, and

provide such information as the Administrator may rea sonably require by regulation to

assist the Administrator in establishing regulations under this subchapter , in

determining whether such person has acted or is acting in compliance with this

subchapter

...

2(b) Use/Users of the Data

Once compliance with the RTCR begins, e ach PWS maintains PWS

- level records on the

analytica l results of monitoring actions and corrective actions taken and of the reports or written

communications with the state regarding violations, assessments , corrective actions, and public

no tification ( see 40 CFR 141.31 and 141.33 )

. PWSs will use the data collected from this ICR and

from the Microbial Rules ICR and PWSS ICR, when the rules goes into compliance, to:

• Determine system

- specific needs ;

• Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment ;

• Dete rmine the integrity of the distribution system ;

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

2 

# • Signal the possible presence of fecal contamination ;

• C orrect significant deficiencies ; and

• Alert the public through notices in the mass media or water bills when PWS s are

not in compliance with Federal and st ate regulations

.

States are required to maintain records compiled from PWS respondents (40 CFR

142.14)

. States can use these records to track PWS monitoring, compliance violations, and

enforcement activities

. States can also track schedules for PWSs trying to achieve compliance

. States are required to report the number of violations to SDWIS , which will help them target

PWS s for compliance and take the necessary remedial action

. SDWIS is a Federal information

system that allows EPA and the state s to store a nd retrieve information over time

. Trends in

compliance data can be evaluated at the PWS level, at the state level, and at the national program

level

. Usually, these data are used by EPA for maintaining oversight of the drinking water

program (including su pporting the Six

- Year Review of NPDWRs mandated by SDWA) and for

support ing Federal enforcement actions in cases where state s fail to enforce.

The state s and EPA have a number of critical questions to answer as part of their

supervision of PWSs

. Informatio n and data collected from this ICR and from the Microbial

Rules ICR and PWS S ICR can be used to answer these questions, s ome of which are listed

below. At the PWS level:

• Does a PWS have Level 1 or Level 2 t riggers requiring Level 1 or Level 2

a ssessments?

• Does the result of a Level 1 or a Level 2 a ssessment indicate the presence of (a)

sanitary defect ( s ) that require (s) corrective action s?

• For PWS s not in compliance, why are they not in compl iance and how can

compliance be achieved?

• What is the threat to pu blic health of a PWS that is not in compliance?

At the national and state level:

• What are the national and state compliance trend s?

• What changes in national policy or regulation may be needed to increas e the

national compliance rate?

• Is noncompliance a fun ction of location, size, or other identifiable variable?

Requests for PWS data and related statistical analyses are frequent

. Requests for SDWIS

data are often receive d under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

. Approximately 200 FOIA

requests are receiv ed per year

. EPA also maintains an Internet access point for SDWIS data at

their “ Envirofacts ” Internet site

.

# 3 NON

- DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER

COLLECTION CRITERIA

The following sections verify and affirm that this ICR satisfies the PRA requirem ents,

meets the OMB data

- collection guidelines, has public support, and does not duplicate another

collection.

3(a) Non

- duplication

EPA has searched the Federal Information Locator System in an effort to ensure non

duplication of the data collection effort s

. The information collected under the RTCR is needed to

determine a PWS’s risk of microbial contamination and to evaluate the PWS’s compliance. To

the best of EPA ’s k nowledge, data required by this rule are not available from any other source.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

As part of the Federal Register notice on the proposed RTCR Rule, EPA solicited

comments on this information collection and the estimates in this ICR. EPA solicited comments

on specific aspects of the propose d information collection, as described below:

1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the

functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical

utility;

2) Whether the Agency’s burden estimate is accurate including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

3) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

and

4) How to minimize the burden on respondents, including use of appropriate automated

electron ic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

EPA did not receive comments that specifically referred to the ICR prepared for the

proposed rule; however, it received several comments (such as the nee d to increase unit costs) on

the associated Economic Analysis (EA) , as well as the Technology and Cost (T&C) Document

(which contains many of the unit costs used for the cost analysis in the Economic Analysis ( EA )

and th is ICR , which were obtained from the advisory committee technical work group and

vendors ). For the final rule, EPA adjusted some of the unit costs associated with corrective

actions to reflect a more realistic scenario but these adjustments had little impact on the costs in

the EA or this IC R. T hese changes have been incorporated into the analyses shown in Appendix

A of this ICR.

EPA’s responses to comments received on the proposed rule are available at

http://www.regulations.gov , docket ID number EPA

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

4 

# In compliance with the PRA (44 USC 3501 et seq .), EPA submitted this ICR for the

RTCR to OMB for review and approval prior to proposal. EPA did not receive any comments

from OMB on the ICR at that time.

3(c) Consultations

EPA noticed its intent to revise the 1989 TCR in July 2003 (68 FR 42908, July 18, 2003)

. To support the revisions of the 1989 TCR, EPA held several outreach act ivities and

consultations

. One of these outreach activities is a technical workshop that EPA held in

Washington, DC, from January 30 to February 1, 2007 to discuss available information on the

1989 TCR and available information regarding risks in distribution systems.

In June 2007, EPA established the Total Coliform Rule / Distribution System Advisory

Committee (TCR DSAC) in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee

Act , to provide recomme ndations to EPA on revision s to the 1989 TCR and on what information

about distribution systems is needed to better understand and address public health impact s from

potential degradation of drinking water quality in distribution systems

. The committee members

agreed on and signed the Agreement in Principle (AIP) that contains the advisory committee’s

recommendations on revisions to the 1989 TCR that will improv e implementation while

maintaining or improving public health protection and distribution system water quality

. The

provisions of the RTCR are based on the AIP.

E PA had also committed in the AIP to hold a stakeholder meeting no less than once per

year to e ngage stakeholders in the development of the proposed RTCR

. EPA held two

stakeholder meetings, the first one in April 2009 and the second one in May 2010, to provide

draft proposed regulation updates and an opportunity for stakeholders to provide feedback on the

de velopment of the proposed RTCR.

As mandated by SDWA, EPA also consulted with the Science Advisory Board, the

National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC), and the Secretary of the US Department

of Health and Human Services (HHS) on the propose d RTCR, and again with NDWAC and

HHS for the final rule. EPA also consulted with Tribal governments in accordance with

Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Tribal Governments . EPA also

convened a Small Business Advocacy Review Panel (S BARP) to look at the impacts of the

proposed RTCR on small entities. A more detailed discussion on this latter consultation can be

found in Section 5(c) of this ICR. EPA considered the recommendations received during these

consultations in developing the R TCR.

3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

During the three

- year period covered by this ICR, EPA requires no reporting and

recordkeeping associated with complying with the RTCR

.

For compliance with the R TCR (which happens beyond the three years covered by this

ICR) EPA has determined that the monitoring frequencies for total coliforms and E. coli required

of PWSs under the RTCR are appropriate since less frequent data collection may fail to identify,

in a timely manner, significant contaminant concentrat ions that may threaten the health and

safety of drinking water consumers

. EPA has considered alternatives for a wide range of

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

5 

# frequency and burden estimates for data collection

. EPA has selected the approach that requires

the least frequent collection poss ible while maintaining its public health protection objectives.

3(e) General Guidelines

This ICR was prepared in accordance with the November 2005 ICR Handbook prepared

by EPA’s Office of Environmental Information, Office of Information Collection, Collect ion

Strategies Division

. The ICR Handbook provides the most current instructions for ICR

preparation to ensure compliance with the 1995 PRA amendments and OMB’s implementing

guidelines.

3(f) Confidentiality

No confidential information will be coll ected a s a result of this ICR.

3(g) Sensitive Questions

No information of a sensitive nature will be co llected as a result of this ICR

.

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

6 

# 4 RESPONDENTS AND INFORMATION REQUESTED

The following sections provide information on the respondents and the information the y

are requested to provide.

4(a) Respondents/NAICS Codes

Under the RTCR , respondents to the monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping

requirements include the operators and owners of PWSs, which include noncommunity water

systems ( NCWSs )

. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for

investor

- owned water systems is 22131; the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code is

4941

. The NAICS Code for both publicly owned water systems and state agencies is 92411 and

the SIC Code is 9511

. St ate officials serve in a role of respondent when reporting compliance

data to EPA.

PWSs are defined as those systems that provide piped water for human consumption and

have at least 15 service connections or regularly serve at least 25 people at least 60 d ays per year.

A community water system ( CWS ) is a PWS that serves at least 15 connections used by

year

- round residents or regularly serves at least 25 year

- round residents

. NCWSs, by definition,

are all other PWSs

. NCWSs include transient systems and non

- t ransient systems

. Non

- transient

systems serve the same 25 people at least 6 m onths per year (40 CFR 141.2).

4(b) Information Requested

4(b) (i) Data I tems

States

During the first three years after rule promulgation, EPA expects state s to prepare and

submit their primacy applications . Additionally, s tates would incur administrative costs to

implement the RTCR. These implementation costs are not directly required by specific

provisions of the RTCR but are necessary for state s to ensure that the provisions of the RTCR

are properly carried out

. States would need to allocate time for th eir staff to establish and

maintain the progra ms necessary to comply with the RTCR , including developing and adopting

state regulations and modifying data management systems to tra ck new required PWS reports to

the state s

. In addition to the general requirements contained in 40 CFR 142.16, EPA requires a

state ’s primacy application to contain information specific to the RTCR

. This information

includes:

• The baseline and reduced monit oring provisions of the RTCR the state will adopt

and how the state will implement those provisions;

• Written descriptions of the following:

o Frequency and process used to review and revise sample siting plans;

o Criteria for reduced monitoring;

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

7 

# o Process for im plementing the new assessment and corrective action provisions

of the RTCR;

o Criteria and process for invalidating routine or repeat samples;

o Criteria and process for approval of individuals allowed to conduct Level 2

assessments;

o Procedure for performing s pecial monitoring evaluations during sanitary

surveys for ground water systems serving 1,000 or fewer people to determine

whether systems are on an appropriate monitoring schedule;

o Process of identifying seasonal systems and determining their monitoring

sc hedule and start

- up procedures;

o Additional criteria for reduced monitoring; and

o Criteria for extending the 24

- hour period for collecting repeat samples for

states not electing to use only case

- by

- case waivers.

The following are the reporting and recordkeep ing requirements for state s beyond the

first three years after rule promulgation (when PWSs need to comply with the RTCR)

. The costs

and burden determination to comply with these requirements are not included in this ICR.

In addition to the reporting requi rements specified in 40 CFR 142.15, the RTCR requires

states to report the follow ing to EPA (see §142.15(c)(3)):

• A list of systems that the state is allowing to monitor under a reduced monitoring

frequency

.

I n addition to those already specified in 40 CFR 142.14

, state s are required to keep

records of the following (see §142.14(a)(10)):

• Any case

- by

- case decision to waive or extend the 24

- hour t ime limit for collecting

samples following either a total coliform

- positive routine sample, invalidation, or

a hig h turbidity measurement;

• Any decision to allow a system to waive the requirement for three routine samples

the month following a total coliform

- positive sample ;

• Any decision to invalidate a total coliform

- positive sample ;

• Completed and approved Level 1 and /or Level 2 assessments, including reports

from the system that corrective action has been completed ;

• Any decision to reduce the total coliform monitoring frequency for a community

water system serving 1,000 or fewer people to less than once per month ;

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

8 

# • Any decision to reduce the total coliform monitoring frequency for a

noncommunity water system using only ground water and serving 1,000 or fewer

people to less than once per quarter ;

• Any decision to reduce the total coliform monitoring frequency for a

noncom munity water system using only ground water and serving more than

1,000 people during any month the system serves 1,000 or fewer people ; and

• Any decision to allow a system to forgo E. coli testing o f a total coliform

- positive

sample if that system assumes that the total coliform

- positive sample is E. coli

positive

.

Public Water Systems

During the first three years after rule promulgation, PWSs need not comply with the

RTCR since the compliance date is three years after promulgation

. However, a ll PWS s subje ct to

the RTCR would incur one

- time costs that include time for staff to read the rule and become

familiar with its provisions and to train employees on rule requirements . Additionally, EPA

expects that PWSs will start revising their sample siting plans as necessary so that they will be

available for state review and revision when the systems have to comply with the rule

.

The following are the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for PWSs beyond the

first three years after rule promulgation (when PWSs need to comply with the RTCR)

. The costs

and burden determination to comply with these requirement s are not included in this ICR.

In addition to the reporting requirements specified in 40 CFR 141.31, PWSs are required

by the RTCR to report the following t o the states (see §141.861(a)):

• E. coli MCL violation by the end of the day when the system learns of the

violation, or by the end of the next business day if the state office is closed when

the system learns of the violation , and provide public notificatio n;

• E. coli

- positive sample by the end of the day when the system learns of the

analytical result, or by the end of the next business if the state office is closed

when t he system learns of the result;

• T reatment technique violation for total coliforms by no later than the end o f the

next business day after the PWS learns of the violation . The PWS must provide

public notification;

• Assessment form within 30 days of triggering an assessment and completion of

each scheduled corrective action for corrections not completed by the time of

su bmission of the assessment form; and

• M onitoring violation within 10 days after the PWS discovers the violation. The

PWS must provide public notification.

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

9 

# In addition to the recordkeeping requirements for PWSs specified in 40 CF R 141.33,

PWSs are required by the RTCR to keep records of the following (see §141.861(b)):

• A ny assessment form, documentation of corrective action s completed as a result

of assessments, or other available summary documentation of the sanitary defects

foun d and corrective actions taken for state review ; and

• Any repeat sample taken that meets state criteria for an extension of the 24

- hour

period for collecting repeat samples.

4(b) (ii) Respondent Activities

State s

During the first three years after rule prom ulgation, the only activities that take place are

s tate primacy application and start

- up activities

, which include:

• Reading and understanding the r ule ;

• Adopting the rule and developing state program that will support implementation

of the rule ;

• Modifying d ata management system;

• Training s taff; and

• Reviewing PWS sample siting plans and providing recommend ations for

revisions to PWSs.

Beyond the first three years

, when PWSs need to comply with the RTCR , EPA expects

the state s to be involved in the following incremental activities (note that these activities are not

part of the cost and burden determination for this ICR)

. Figure 4.1 shows the schedule of

information collection and other compliance activities under the RTCR.

• Tracking c ompliance;

• Analyzing and r eviewing PWS data;

• Making determinations concerning PWS monitoring requirements;

• Responding to PWSs with positive samples ( for the calculations shown in

Appendix A

, note that the net change in burden and costs for state s to review

PWSs monitoring results is zero because the 1989 TCR methodology is calculated

on a per PWS basis and the total number of PWSs is the same for mo deling under

the 1989 TCR and RTCR );

• Recordkeeping;

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

# • Review ing completed assessment forms and consult ing with the PWS about the

assessme nt form ;

• Review ing and coordinat ing with PWSs to determine the optimal corr ective

action to be implemented; and

• Provid ing consultation, review ing the public notification certification, and fil ing

the report of the violation.

Public Water System s

During th e first three years after rule promulgation, EPA anticipates PWSs to perform

start

- up activities, which include:

• Reading and understanding the rule;

• Planning, and mobilization; and

• Revising existing sample siting plans to identify sampling locations and co llection

schedules that are representative of water throughout the distribution system.

Beyond the first three years , when P WSs need to comply with the RTCR , EPA

anticipates PWSs to be involved in the following incremental activities (note that these activ ities

are not part of the cost and burden determination for this ICR)

. Figure 4.1 shows the schedule for

information collection and other compliance activities under the RTCR.

• Conduct ing routine, additional routine, and repeat coliform monitoring and repor t

the results as required

. 3



# • Complet ing a Level 1 a ssessment if the PWS experiences a Level 1 trigger , and

submit t ing a form to the state to identify sanitary defects detected, corrective

actions completed, and a timetable for any corrective actions not al ready

completed.

• Completing a Level 2 assessment if the PWS experiences a Level 2 trigger, and

submitting a form to the state to identify sanitary defects detected, corrective

actions completed, and a timetable for any corrective actions not already

comple ted.

• Correcting sanitary defects found through the performance of Level 1 or Level 2

assessments and report on completion of corrective actions as required

. 4

3 

# F or the calculations shown in Appe ndix A , note that the net change in reporting and recordkeeping burden and

costs for PWSs to submit monitoring results to States is zero because the 1989 TCR methodology is calculated on a

per PWS basis and the total number of PWSs is the same for modeling under the 1989 TCR and the RTCR

.

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

11 

# • Developing and distributing Tier 1 public notices when E. coli MCL violations

occur.

• Develop ing a nd distribut ing Tier 2 public notices when the PWSs fail to take

corrective action

.

• Develop ing and distribut ing Tier 3 public notices when the PWSs fail to comply

with the monitoring requirements or with mandatory reporting of required

information within t he specified timeframe.

4 

# For the calculations shown in Appendix A , note that only the net change in the number of corrective actions

performed under the RTCR is accounted for

. EPA estimates that additional corrective actions would be performed

f or only 10% of the assessments undertaken as a result of the RTCR , representing the net increase of the RTCR over

the 1989 TCR. EPA estimates that corrective actions found through Level 1 assessments would result in corrective

actions that focus more on tr ansient solutions than on permanent fixes to the PWS

. Corrective actions taken as a

result of Level 2 assessments are expected to find a higher proportion of structural/technical issues resulting in

material fixes to the PWSs and distribution system.

# 5 INFORMATION COLLECTED

– AGENCY ACTIVITIES,

COLLECTI ON METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION

MANAGEMENT

The following sections describe EPA activities related to analyzin g, maintaining, and

distributing the information collected.

5(a) EPA Activities

EPA will be responsible for promulgating the RTCR once it has been finalized and

overseeing its implementation

. Implementation of monitoring requirements will rely extensively

on state governments in those s tates that have assumed primacy under section 1413 of the

SDWA and § 142.16 of the RTCR

. EPA will be involved in the following activities:

• Developing th e RTCR and guidance materials;

• Reviewing and analyzing data submissions fr om the state s; and

• Processing and maintaining SDWIS.

These are all general activities that are covered under the PWSS Program ICR , and therefore, are

not included in the EPA burden and costs estimates for this ICR

.

5(b) Collection Methodology and Managemen t

Upon compliance, state s will send to SDWIS their records of PWSs’ violations and

whether a PWS had a sanitary survey

. EPA will modify SDWIS and data verification procedures

to accommodate the new information from the RTCR

.

EPA will check data quality by doing the following:

• Developing standard operating procedures for each rule;

• Editing the data submitted for conten t and required format in SDWIS;

• Sending rejected data back to the state s for error corrections;

• Requiring state s to resubmit corrected data;

• D ata verification audit of state s based on data verificati on protocol established by

EPA; and

• Conducting a review of state s annually for corrective actions.

• EPA plans to modify its existin g data verification process to:

• Include the number of PWS s with disc repancies;

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

14 

# • Include onsite verification in state s and PWS s, if necessary, every 2 to 3 years;

• Train state s on data verification procedures s o they can conduct self

- audits;

• Inc lude timeliness reviews;

• Incorporate RTCR

- related activities into EPA Regiona l qua rterly/annual reviews;

and

• Include a regional check with state s within six months of the previous data

verification.

SDWIS runs on an IBM ES9000 12 way processor using mainframe edit programs (in

JCL)

. EPA defines information requirements and state s update the data in batch file mode in a

pre

- defined format

. The public may access the violations data in SDWIS through the Internet at

http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/sdwis/sdwis_query.html

.

5 (c) Small Entity Flexibility

In developing this ICR (and for subsequent renewal s of the Microbial Rules ICR and

PWSS ICR) , EPA considered the requirement of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act ( SBREFA ) to minimize the burden of informati on collections on small entities

. EPA considers small entities to be PWSs serving fewer than 10,000 people (63 FR 44524,

August 19, 1998)

.

The RTCR will have the greatest impact on small PWS s

. Under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq ., as amended by SBREFA, EPA generally is required to

conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the impact of a regulatory action on small

entities

. To assess this impact, EPA conducted outreach to small entities and convened a SBARP

in February 2008 to obtain advice and recommendations of representatives of the small entities

that potentially would be subject to the rule’s requirements

. These recommendations are

discussed below

.

5 ( c ) (i) Small Business Advocacy Review Panel Recommendations

The Pa nel recommended to use total coliforms as a trigger for investigation and/or

corrective action, to balance monitoring requirements and costs with risk, to further differentiate

requirements with other related rules, and to consider reporting and recordkeep ing costs in

estimating burden

.

EPA and the TCRD S A C considered the Panel’s recommendations in developing the

RTCR

. The RTCR eliminates the MCLG and MCL for total coliforms and instead uses total

coliforms as an indicator of the potential pathway of contami nation into the distribution system

. PWSs that may be vulnerable to fecal contamination (as indicated by their monitoring results)

are required to do an assessment and if necessary, take appropriate corrective action

. Other

provisions of the RTCR also resu lt in reduced costs for many small PWSs and address the

recommendations of the Panel mentioned previously

. The provisions resulting in reduced costs

include:

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

15 

# • Reduced routine monitoring for qualifying PWS serving 1,000 or fewer people

.

• Reduced num ber of rep eat samples required.

• Reduced additional routine monitoring for PWS serving 4,100 or fewer people.

• Reduced public notification requirements for all sy stems, including small

systems.

• Reductions in corrective actions over time as a result of enhanced system

per formance for all small systems.

Furthermore, consistent with the Panel recommendation to evaluate which parameters are

most appropriate for routine monitoring and as potential triggers for investigative and corrective

actions, EPA is conducting a review of existing methods for total coliform and E. coli analysis

and is evaluating its Alternative Test Procedure protocol for approving new methods. EPA is

also one of the founding members of a Research Information Collection Partnership that is

considering w hat research and information would be valuable in order to more fully evaluate the

public health risks associated with water quality degradat ion in the distribution system.

5(d) Collection Schedule

Th e RTCR is scheduled to be promulgated in 2012 , with moni toring beginning 3 years

after promulgation

. Figure 4.1 illustrates the information collection periods for compliance with

the RTCR over the first 10 years following rule promulgation.

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

# 6 ESTIMATING BURDEN AND COST OF COLLECTION

The following sections dis cuss costs and burden for all information collection,

recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for the RTCR.

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden and Cost

The following sections discuss the costs and burden faced by PWSs and state s

. Note that

the majority of the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting burden occurs beyond the 3

- year

period of the ICR

. Exhibits A .34 and A .37, located in Appendix A , include a ten

- year time frame

showing the burden and costs beyond t he initial period covered by this ICR

. This r eflects the

reality of rule implementation

. Figure 6.1 presents a summary of estimated responses, burden,

and costs for the 3

- year window of the ICR.

# 6(a)(i) Burden and Cost to PWSs

Information collection activities of PWSs required under the RTCR will result in average

annual net change nationa l labor costs of $ 20.2 million and a corresponding annual net change

burden of 747,848 hours as shown in Figure 6.1 and in Exhibit s A .34 and A .37

. The exhibits also

include annual net change costs and burden up to 10 years following rule promulgation.

The net change burden and costs are estimated for start

- up activities, including reading

the rule and training staff

. The assumptions and methodo logies used in deriving these estimates

are discussed in the following sectio n.

6(a)(i)(a) Start

- Up Activities

Start

- up activities are estimated at a one

- time expense of $ 60.5 million (Exhibit A.37)

and 2.2 million burden hours (Exhibits A .34)

. Start

- up ac tivities include reading the final rule to

become familiar with the requirements and performing additional or transitional implementation

activities such as training staff to on rule requirements

. Additionally , all PWSs will incur one

time c osts to revise existing sample siting plans to identify sampling locations and collection

schedules that are representative of water throughout the distribution system

.

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

17 

# For costing purposes, EPA estimates the labor needs and hourly labor rates of PWSs and

state s for two labor categories: managerial and technical

. For PWSs, all analyses use labor rates

presented in EPA’s document, Labor Costs for National Drinking Water Rules 5



# . The technical

and managerial wage rates vary with PWS size and include fringe benefits

. To acco unt for the

general composition of staff at PWSs of smaller sizes (e.g., PWSs serving 3,300 or fewer), EPA

uses only the technical rate

. For PWSs serving more than 3,300 people, EPA uses a ratio of 80

percent technical labor to 20 percent managerial labor to arrive at a labor cost, or weighted labor

rate

. A full description of the derivation of the labor rates used is provided in the Technology and

Cost Document for the Final Revised Total Coliform Rule 6



# . The weighted labor rates ( $ 200 7 ) are

shown in Exhibi t A .1.

6(a)(i)(b) Annual Activities

In the tenth year of rule implementation, a net savings of $ 1.5 million (Exhibit A.37) and

0.09 million burden hours (Exhibit A.34) is expected for annual PWS activity costs and burden,

respectively

. Included in this cat egory are costs and burden to revise sample siting plans; to

conduct routine monitoring, additional routine monitoring, and repeat monitoring; to perform

Level 1 and Level 2 assessments; to perform reporting and recordkeeping related to corrective

actions; and to provide public notification

. The net change cost and burden estimates for PWS

annual activities are shown in Exhibits A .34 and A .37

. These net change costs are for data

collection and review and will occur outside of the three year s covered by this ICR.

6(a)(ii) Burden and Cost to States

Total annual average net change state labor cost is $3.6 million, and the annual average

net change burden is 91,678 hours for the three years covered by this ICR.

6(a)(ii)(a) Start

- Up Activities

States are estimate d to incur a one

- time cost of $10.8 million (Exhibit A.37) and a one

time burden of 275,03 3 hours (Exhibit A.34)

. For s tate s, the administrative and field engineer

labor rates from the 2001 State Drinking Water Needs Analysis 7 

# are used in the RTCR EA (as

u sed in the G round W ater R ule EA 8 

# )

. These rates include a 60 percent overhead rate and were

inflated to 2007$ using the Employee Cost Index ( ECI )

. The state labor rates in 2007$ are $39.22

f

or an administrative state employee and $43.58 for a state field en gineer

. EPA assumes that the

state field engineer w ould conduct annual site visit s , and the administrative state employee

would work with PWSs on all remaining aspects of the RTCR

. Because this separation between

# field engineer and administrative employee is used, the 80/20 weighting ratio between technical

6(a)(ii)(b) Annual Activities

In the tenth year of rule implementation , a net savings of $0.54 million (Exhibit A.37)

and 0.01 million burden hour s (Exhibit A.34) is expected for annual state activities (e.g.,

respond ing to positive sample results; review ing completed assessment forms required to be filed

by PWSs and consult ing with PWSs about their assessment form ; review ing and coordinate with

PWS s to determine the appropriate corrective action to be implemented; and provid ing

consultation, review ing the public notification certification, and fil ing the report of the violation.

States must also submit information to SDWIS to assist both EPA and sta tes in tracking PWS

compliance (see Exhibits A .34 and A .37 ).

State net change costs and burden for activities occurring outside of the 3

- year ICR

window are calculated in the same way as state net change start

- up costs and burden

. The

administrative state employee labor rate is used for all rule activities under the RTCR.

6(b) Time Frame for Cost and Burden Estimates

To provide a coherent understanding of how the burden for the rule will occur, the time

frame for rule implementation is described below.

In the first 3 years, EPA has estimated that state s will adopt regulations for transitional

implementation of the RTCR and will apply for program primacy approval, and that state s and

PWSs will conduct transitional start

- up activities for implementing the RTC R, such as training,

and data management system modifications

.

States are expected to incur one

- time costs to review sample siting plans and recommend

any revisions to PWSs

. PWSs are expected to revise sampling siting plans before monitoring

begins

. For m odeling purposes costs are split between years 2 and 3 of the 25

- year compliance

period (monitoring is required starting in year 4)

.

Beginning in the fourth year following promulgation, PWSs would begin routine,

additional routine, and repeat monitoring

. EPA assumed that only the percentage of systems that

received an annual site visit under the 1989 TCR would continue on annual monitoring under

RTCR; the percentage of systems that would therefore no longer qualify for annual monitoring

under the RTCR were assumed to revert to baseline quarterly monitoring. Additionally, EPA

expects that, beginning in the fourth year, PWSs would be required to correct sanitary defects

found through the performance of Level 1 or Level 2 assessments

. Reporting and recordkeep ing

burden from corrective actions resulting from Level 1 and Level 2 a ssessments would also begin

in the fourth year following promulgation. For each corrective action performed, state s would

incur recordkeeping and reporting burden to review and coordina te with PWSs

. Revised public

notification activities would also begin in the fourth year following prom ulgation.

6(c) Estimating EPA Burden and Cost

EPA’s costs include those incurred by both regional offices and headquarters to process,

analyze, and maint ain SDWIS data

. These costs cannot be derived on a per rule basis but are

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

19 

# presented as an overall program cost in the PWSS Program ICR

. Headquarters personnel who

design and administer SDWIS believe that the net additional cost of th is rule is not signific antly

greater than that of the PWSS Program.

The EPA also performs the role attributed to state s and territories, for those state s and

territories over which it has primacy

. This cost is included as part of the total burden and cost for

state s.

6(d) Resp ondent Universe

There are a total o f 154,837 PWSs and 57 state s and territories considered for this ICR

.

6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs

This section provides a description of bottom line estim ates for implementation of the

R TCR

. The bottom line ne t change burden hours and costs for PWSs and state s are the

summaries of the hours and costs collectively incurred for all additional activities under the

RTCR in comparison to the 1989 TCR

. The first part of this section describes the estimated

average an nual net change costs and hourly burdens for respondents to the rule

. The second part

discusses the potential net change cost and burden to EPA

. Figure 6.2 presents a summary of the

average annual net change respondent burden over three years for PWSs and state s

. All

additional exhibits relating to this ICR are in Appendix A

# 6(e)(i) Bottom Line Burden and Cost Estimates for Respondents

For this ICR, EPA estimat es that PWSs will have an annual net change respondent

burden of 747,848 hours and an a nnual net change in respondent costs of $ 20.2 million

. EPA

estimates that state s will have an annual net change respondent burden of 91,678 hours and a

corresponding ave rage annual net change respondent costs of $3.6 million

. Therefore, the total

average annual net change respondent burden is estimated to be 839, 526 hours and t he

corresponding total average annual net change respondent labor costs are estimated to be $23. 8

million

. See Figure 6.2

. There are neither capital costs nor O&M costs during the 3

- year ICR

period.

# ICR for the Final RTCR September 2012

21 

# 6(e)(ii) Bottom Line Estimate for EPA

As mentioned previously in S ection 6c, the costs and burden incurred by EPA to process,

analyze, and maintain SDWIS are presented as part of the PWSS Program ICR

. Additional costs

that are likely to be incurred by EPA for tribes and the state of Wyoming are included in the tally

for the costs and burden to state s and territories because most costs are estimated on a pe r system

basis and because the number of PWSs on tribal land or in Wyoming affected by various

provisions of the rule is uncertain.

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

The primary goal of the RTCR is to achieve the objectives of the 1989 TCR more

effectively and efficiently, taking into account the changes in regulatory framework for

implementing the SDWA over the past 20 years and experience with the TCR since it was

promulgated in 1989

. National burden estimates increase primarily because PWS requirements

a re being strengthened under the RTCR

.

6(g) Burden Statement

The annual net change in public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of

information is estimated to average 14.5 hours per PWS respondent per year and 1

, 608.4 hours

per state re spondent per year for the 3

- year ICR period. 9



# Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by people to

generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This

includes the time needed to revie w instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology,

and PWSs 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 the infor mation. An agency may not conduct

or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information collection 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.

9 

# The average burden hours were calculated by dividing the annual burden hours (from Figure 6.1) by the annual

number of respondents (from Figur e 6.2), e.g., for PWSs , 747,848 ÷51,612 = 14.5.
