Abstract: To determine compliance 

with the NAAQS, State air monitoring 

agencies are required to use, in their air 

quality monitoring networks, air 

monitoring methods that have been 

formally designated by the EPA as either 

reference or equivalent methods under 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 53. A 

manufacturer or seller of an air 

monitoring method (e.g., an air 

monitoring sampler or analyzer) that 

seeks to obtain such EPA designation of 

one of its products must carry out 

prescribed tests of the method. The test 

results and other information must then 

be submitted to the EPA in the form of 

an application for a reference or 

equivalent method determination in 

accordance with 40 CFR part 53. The 

EPA uses this information, under the 

provisions of part 53, to determine 

whether the particular method should 

be designated as either a reference or 

equivalent method. After a method is 

designated, the applicant must also 

maintain records of the names and 

mailing addresses of all ultimate 

purchasers of all analyzers or samplers 

sold as designated methods under the 

method designation. If the method 

designated is a method for fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse 

particulate matter (PM10–2.5), the 

applicant must also submit a checklist 

signed by an ISO-certified auditor to 

indicate that the samplers or analyzers 

sold as part of the designated method 

are manufactured in an ISO 9001- 

registered facility. Also, an applicant 

must submit a minor application to seek 

approval for any proposed 

modifications to previously designated 

methods 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

manufacturers, states. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain the benefit of EPA 

designation under 40 CFR part 53. 

Estimated number of respondents; 22. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 7492 (per 

year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $746,029 (per 

year), includes $152,152 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of the 

Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) 

requires that each state (a term that 

includes states, commonwealths, tribes 

and territories) that has primary 

enforcement authority under the SDWA 

shall prepare, make readily available to 

the public, and submit to the 

Administrator of EPA, an annual report 

of violations of national primary 

drinking water regulations in the state. 

These Annual State Public Water 

System Compliance Reports are to 

include violations of maximum 

contaminant levels, treatment 

requirements, variances and 

exemptions, and monitoring 

requirements determined to be 

significant by the Administrator after 

consultation with the states. To 

minimize a state’s burden in preparing 

its annual statutorily required report, 

EPA issued guidance that explains what 

Section 1414(c)(3)(A) requires and 

provides model language and reporting 

templates. EPA also annually makes 

available to the states a computer query 

that generates for each state (from 

information states are already separately 

required to submit to EPA’s national 

database on a quarterly basis) the 

required violations information in a 

table consistent with the reporting 

template in EPA’s guidance. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: States 

that have primacy enforcement

authority and meet the definition of 

‘‘state’’ under the SDWA. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of 

SDWA. 

Estimated number of respondents: 55 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Annually. 

Total estimated burden: 4,400 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $530,000 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is no 

change of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. This is 

due to two considerations. First, the 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years. 

Second, the growth rate for this industry 

is very low or non-existent, so there is 

no significant change in the overall 

burden. Since there are no changes in 

the regulatory requirements and there is 

no significant industry growth, there are 

also no changes in the capital/startup or 

operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs.

Abstract: Because of the substantial

workforce and the public, EPA requests 

an emergency approval to collect the 

necessary information from Federal 

employees, detailees, interns, 

volunteers, grantee recipients and 

contractors that perform work in EPA 

facilities to implement an effective 

COVID–19 Contact Tracing program. 

Each item of information requested is 

based on CDC and industry best practice 

for Contact Tracing. This information is 

necessary to identify individuals in the 

workforce who are COVID–19 positive 

and to notify and trace persons in the 

workforce who were in close contact 

with the COVID–19 positive employee. 

Including contractors, interns, grantees, 

and volunteers, enables EPA to capture 

the total workforce and take appropriate 

action. 

The following information will be 

collected for COVID Contact Testing: 

—Name; 

—Work location; 

—Contact information; 

—Supervisor; 

—Health status; 

—Close contacts (as defined by CDC) 

when in the office; and 

—Building and floors visited during 

period of possible transmission (as 

defined by CDC). 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: EPA’s 

Contract Tracing Program participants, 

including detailees, interns, volunteers, 

grantee recipients and contractors. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

250 (total). 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Total estimated burden: 63 hours (per 

year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $0 (per year), 

which includes annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB.
