Special Publication, 800–53, 

‘‘Recommended Security Controls for 

Federal Information Systems,’’ Revision 

4. 

Administrative Safeguards. 

EPA staff must complete annual 

agency training for Information Security 

and Privacy. EPA instructs staff to lock 

and secure their computers when 

unattended. 

Technical Safeguards. 

The system administrator, an EPA 

staff member, authorizes appropriate 

permission levels for authorized EPA 

staff. Permission level assignments 

allow authorized users to access only 

those system functions and records 

specific to their Agency work need. EPA 

also has technical security measures 

including restrictions on computer 

access to authorized individuals and 

required use of a personal identity 

verification (PIV) card and password. 

Physical Safeguards. 

EPA equipment used for EPA–89 is 

located in the Federal cloud space not 

connected to other federal systems. 

Only authorized employees have access 

to this information in the Federal space. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Individuals seeking access to 

information in this system of records 

about themselves are required to 

provide adequate identification (e.g., 

driver’s license, military identification 

card, employee badge or identification 

card). Additional identity verification 

procedures may be required, as 

warranted. Requests must meet the 

requirements of EPA regulations that 

implement the Privacy Act of 1974, at 

40 CFR part 16. 

CONTESTING RECORDS PROCEDURES: 

Requests for correction or amendment 

must identify the record to be changed 

and the corrective action sought. 

Complete EPA Privacy Act procedures 

are described in EPA’s Privacy Act 

regulations at 40 CFR part 16. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

Any individual who wishes to know 

whether this system of records contains 

a record about themselves, and to obtain 

a copy of any such record(s), should 

make a written request to the Attn:

Abstract: The scope of this ICR is the 

electronic reporting components of 

CROMERR, which is designed to: (i) 

Allow EPA to comply with the 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

of 1998; (ii) provide a uniform, 

technology-neutral framework for 

electronic reporting across all EPA 

programs; (iii) allow EPA programs to 

offer electronic reporting as they 

become ready for CROMERRR; and (iv) 

provide states with a streamlined 

process—together with a uniform set of 

standards—for approval of their 

electronic reporting provisions for all 

their EPA-authorized programs. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are voluntary. In order to 

accommodate CBI, the information 

collected must be in accordance with 

the confidentiality regulations set forth 

in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. 

Additionally, EPA will ensure that the 

information collection procedures 

comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 

and the OMB Circular 108. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

that report electronically to EPA and 

state, tribal, or local government 

authorized programs; and state, tribal, 

and local government authorized 

programs implementing electronic 

reporting. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary, required to obtain or retain a 

benefit (Cross-Media Electronic 

Reporting Rule (CROMERR) established 

to ensure compliance with the 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

(GPEA)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

132,724 (total).

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 30, 2021 / Notices 34743 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 81,985 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $4,710,366 (per 

year), including $3,620,310 in 

annualized labor costs and $1,090,056 

in annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 4,569 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. The decrease in respondent 

burden can be attributed primarily to 

two reasons. First, over the past three 

years, the Agency made improvements 

to CDX to enhance efficiencies in enduser registration, integration, and Help 

Desk support. These improvements 

resulted in reduced burden to 

respondents. Second, through 

technological improvements, the 

Agency now is able to obtain real world 

data via Google Analytics on the 

frequency and amount of time a 

respondent spends accessing CDX web 

pages and features. Based on this 

information, EPA has revised the 

burden estimates associated with some 

of the CDX registration and identity 

proofing activities. The Agency believes 

that these revised burden estimates 

more accurately reflect the resources 

spent by respondents conducting 

electronic reporting activities under 

CROMERR. Note that the decrease in 

respondent burden described above was 

offset by an almost two-fold increase in 

the number of respondents that report to 

state, tribal, and local electronic 

document receiving systems. In 

developing this ICR, EPA revised the 

approach used to estimate the number 

of these reporters. The revised approach 

uses shared CROMERR services solution 

data to supplement estimates obtained 

based on analysis of respondent 

universe growth rates in EPA program 

ICRs, which was the previous approach 

used to estimate number of reporters. 

The overall change in respondent 

burden is considered an ‘‘adjustment,’’ 

because it results from changes in the 

respondent universe and hourly burden 

estimates used in the development of 

the ICR.

Abstract: WaterSense is a voluntary 

program designed to promote use of 

water-efficient products and services via 

a common label. The label provides an 

incentive for manufacturers and 

builders to design, produce, and market 

water-efficient products and homes. 

Data collected under this ICR will assist 

WaterSense in demonstrating results 

and carrying out evaluation efforts to 

ensure continual program improvement. 

Shipment and sales data submitted by 

WaterSense manufacturer and retailer/ 

distributor partners are collected as 

confidential business information (CBI) 

using the procedures outlined in the 

WaterSense CBI security plan under the 

Clean Water Act. 

As a terms of clearance for the 

previous ICR, EPA was required to 

address comments on an April 2020 

Federal Register notice (85 FR 20268) 

that sought input on whether and how 

the program could better understand 

and collect information on consumer 

satisfaction with labeled products. As 

summarized in the supporting 

statement, there was no support for 

conducting a survey or study on 

consumer satisfaction for use in future 

product reviews. There was, however, 

support for a general survey to provide 

information to improve awareness of the 

WaterSense label, which is covered 

under this ICR.
