40562 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 142 / Wednesday, July 28, 2021 / Notices 

Total estimated burden: 508 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $23,287.59 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of 228 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This slight increase in burden is 

due to the fact that this ICR takes into 

consideration the 59.4 hours of burden 

associated with the submission of Final 

Progress Reports which was mistakenly 

omitted from the previous ICR. In 

addition, the respondents indicated a 

slight increase in the burden associated 

with submission of the forms. This 

slight increase in the burden hours, 

compounded by the slight inflation in 

labor rates also explains an increase of 

$7,100.60 in total annual respondent 

costs for 2021.

Abstract: Nutrient pollution remains 

the single greatest challenge to our 

Nation’s water quality and presents a 

growing threat to public health and 

local economies—contributing to toxic 

harmful algal blooms, contamination of 

drinking water sources, and costly 

impacts on recreation, tourism and 

fisheries. The National Study of 

Nutrient Removal and Secondary 

Technologies, when completed, will 

provide a rich database of nutrient 

removal performance at secondary 

treatment POTWs nationwide, and will 

help POTWs understand the range of 

nutrient removal performance and 

identify opportunities to optimize 

nutrient removals based on data from 

their peers. It will also serve as a major 

new resource for stakeholders to 

evaluate the most cost-effective 

approaches to nutrient reduction at the 

watershed scale. EPA’s Office of Water 

is collecting data to evaluate the 

nutrient removals and related 

technology performance of POTWs with 

conventional secondary treatment. Due 

to multiple delays, most notably 

postponements in fielding the screener 

questionnaire due to circumstances 

associated with the coronavirus 

(COVID–19) pandemic, EPA is 

proposing to renew the ICR for the 

screener questionnaire. 

The screener questionnaire is a onetime data collection that solicits basic 

facility identification, characterization, 

and technical information necessary to 

develop the future detailed 

questionnaire. Questions include those 

necessary to identify and stratify the 

universe of POTWs and, within that 

population, the secondary treatment 

POTWs not designed specifically to 

remove nitrogen and phosphorus. EPA 

would prepare a separate ICR for 

subsequent phases of the study. 

In this renewal EPA proposes three 

revisions to the currently approved 

screener questionnaire ICR and 

supporting statement. First, EPA has 

reduced the maximum number of 

respondents from 16,500 to 15,000 

reflecting survey responses already 

received as of October 30, 2020. Second, 

EPA has made minor clarifying edits to 

the survey questions such as providing 

additional examples of certain 

technology classifications. Third, EPA is 

revising the respondent burden 

estimates. The original average burden 

estimate assumed it would take one 

hour to complete the registration 

process and three hours to complete the 

full questionnaire. EPA reviewed start 

and end times associated with 

questionnaires submitted online and 

found that the average time to complete 

the long version of the online 

questionnaire was 1.1 hours and the 

time to complete the short version was 

26 minutes. EPA revised the average 

burden to 2.25 hours for the 

questionnaire and 15 minutes for 

registration (Questionnaire Section A) 

based on this information. EPA solicits 

comment on these proposed changes. A 

copy of the screener questionnaire is 

available at Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–

OW–2016–0404 as part of this request 

for comments. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Approximately 15,000 POTWs that meet 

the definition under 40 CFR 403.3(q), 50 

POTWs for site visits, and 100 state and/ 

or small municipal association contacts. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

12,000 (total). 

Frequency of response: One-time data 

collection. 

Total estimated burden: 8,747 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $398,120 (per 

year), which includes $8,800 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is 

decrease of approximately 41,000 hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This decrease is due 

to screener questionnaire responses 

already received, reduced number of 

total respondents, and replacement of 

EPA’s estimated respondent burdens 

with the actual time respondents took to 

complete the screener questionnaire.
