SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Director, 

Regulatory Information Management 

Services, Office of Management, 

publishes that notice containing 

proposed information collection 

requests prior to submission of these 

requests to OMB. Each proposed 

information collection, grouped by 

office, contains the following: (1) Type 

of review requested, e.g. new, revision, 

extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) 

Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4) 

Description of the need for, and 

proposed use of, the information; (5) 

Respondents and frequency of 

collection; and (6) Reporting and/or 

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites 

public comment.

scholarships. In order to judge all 

applications in a consistent manner and 

to reduce the time required for the

individual applicants by means of a 

uniform application form.

submitted under the Streamlined 

Clearance Process for Discretionary

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0138.09, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0088. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on May 31, 2009. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. An agency may not

information, unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

are displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The Clean Water Act (CWA) 

section 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
