Title: Cooling Water Intake Structures 

at Phase III Facilities (Renewal). 

ICR Number: EPA ICR No. 2169.04, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0268. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2009. 

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 title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and 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 Section 316(b) 

regulation for Phase III facilities requires 

the collection of information from new 

offshore oil and gas extraction facilities 

which use a cooling water intake 

structure(s) that uses at least 25 percent 

of the water it withdraws for cooling 

purposes, and have design intake flows 

greater than 2 MGD. Section 316(b) of 

the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that 

any standard established under section 

301 or 306 of the CWA and applicable 

to a point source must require that the 

location, design, construction and 

capacity of cooling water intake 

structure(s) at that facility reflect the 

best technology available for 

minimizing adverse environmental 

impact. Such impact occurs as a result 

of impingement (where fish and other 

aquatic life are trapped on technologies 

at the entrance to cooling water intake 

structures) and entrainment (where 

aquatic organisms, eggs, and larvae are 

taken into the cooling system, passed 

through the heat exchanger, and then 

pumped back out with the discharge 

from the facility). The rule contains 

requirements applicable to the location, 

design, construction, and capacity of 

cooling water intake structures at new 

offshore oil and gas extraction facilities. 

These requirements seek to establish the 

best technology available for 

minimizing adverse environmental

24006 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 98 / Friday, May 22, 2009 / Notices 

impact associated with the use of 

cooling water intake structure(s). 

Burden Statement: The annual 

average reporting and recordkeeping 

burden for the existing collection of 

information by facilities responding to 

the Section 316(b) Phase III rule is 

estimated to be 921 hours per facility 

respondent (i.e., an annual average of 

34,080 hours of burden divided among 

an annual average of 37 facilities). 

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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate for 

the existing ICR, which is only briefly 

summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 37 facilities. 

Frequency of response: Every five 

years, ongoing. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 4.2. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

34,080 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$2,433,612. This includes an estimated 

labor burden cost of $1,836,559 and an 

estimated cost of $597,053 for capital 

investment or operations and 

maintenance. 

Change in the Estimates: This ICR 

estimates an annual average respondent 

burden of 34,080 hours, which 

represents a 3-fold increase (22,842 

hours) in burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. The change in burden results 

mainly from the shift from the approval 

period to the permit implementation 

and renewal period of the Section 

316(b) Phase III rule. Because NPDES 

permits are issued every five years, this 

ICR covers the last two years of the 

initial permit approval period (i.e., years 

four and five after promulgation) and 

the first year of the renewal period (i.e., 

year six after promulgation). In this first 

year of the renewal period facilities will 

be applying for a permit for the first 

time or re-applying for permit coverage 

that was obtained during the three years 

covered by the previous ICR. The 

activities to renew an NPDES permit are 

assumed to be less burdensome than 

those for issuing a permit for the first 

time.
