Title: Modifications of Secondary 

Treatment Requirements for Discharges 

Into Marine Waters. 

Abstract: The Clean Water Act (CWA) 

301(h) program involves collecting 

information from two sources: (1) The 

municipal wastewater treatment facility, 

commonly called a publicly owned 

treatment works (POTW); and (2) the 

State in which the POTW is located. 

Municipalities had the opportunity to 

apply for a waiver from secondary 

treatment requirements, but that 

opportunity closed in December 1982. A 

POTW that seeks a section 301(h) 

waiver does so voluntarily to obtain or 

retain a benefit. A POTW seeking to 

obtain a 301(h) waiver, holding a 

current waiver, or reapplying for a 

waiver, provides application, 

monitoring, and toxic control program 

information. The State provides 

information on its determination 

whether the proposed conditions of the 

waiver ensure the protection of water 

quality, biological habitats, and 

beneficial uses of receiving waters, and 

whether the discharge will result in 

additional treatment, pollution control, 

or any other requirement for any other 

point or nonpoint sources. The State 

also provides information to certify that 

the discharge will meet all applicable 

State laws and that the State accepts all 

permit conditions. EPA requires 

updated information on the discharge 

to: (1) Determine whether the section 

301(h) criteria are still being met and 

whether the section 301(h) waiver 

should be reissued; (2) determine 

whether the water quality, biological 

habitats, and beneficial uses of the 

receiving waters are protected; and (3) 

ensure that the permittee is effectively 

minimizing industrial and nonindustrial 

toxic pollutant and pesticide discharges 

into the treatment works. EPA needs 

information from the State to: (1) Allow 

the State’s views to be taken into 

account when EPA reviews the section 

301(h) application and develops permit 

conditions; and (2) ensure that all State 

laws are met and that the State accepts 

all permit conditions. This information 

is the means by which the State can 

non-concur with a section 301(h) 

approval decision made by the EPA 

Regional office. Regulations 

implementing CWA section 301(h) are 

found at 40 CFR part 125, subpart G. 

The information covered by this 

information collection request involves 

treatment plant operating data, effects of 

POTWs’ discharges on marine 

environments, and States’ viewpoints 

on issues concerning effects of POTWs’

discharges on marine environments. 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 191 / Tuesday, October 4, 2005 / Notices 57867 

None of this information is confidential; 

thus confidentiality is not an issue. 

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. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 652 hours per 

response for POTWs and 86 hours per 

response for States. Burden means the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. 

This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, 

and utilize technology and systems 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 information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are those municipalities that 

currently have section 301(h) waivers 

from secondary treatment, have applied 

for a renewal of a section 301(h) waiver, 

or those with a pending section 301(h) 

waiver application, and the states 

within which these municipalities are 

located. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

50. 

Frequency of Response: The 

frequency of response varies from one 

time to once every five years, to case-bycase, depending on the category of 

information. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

61,377 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,343,393, includes $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 3,680 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is an adjustment 

to the estimates because the universe of 

POTWs in the 301(h) program and 

subject to the 301(h) information has 

decreased.
