What Information Is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 

EPA specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(ii) evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

What Should I Consider When I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are Public Water 

Systems (PWSs). States, Territories, and 

Tribes with primacy to administer the 

regulatory program for PWSs under the 

Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) may 

participate in implementation of the 

second Unregulated Contaminant 

Monitoring Regulation (UCMR 2) 

through a Partnership Agreement (PA). 

These primacy agencies may sometimes 

conduct monitoring and maintain 

records. The North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) code for 

PWSs is 221310. The NAICS codes for 

State agencies that include drinking 

water programs are 924110 

(Administration of Air and Water 

Resources and Solid Waste Management 

Programs) and 923120 (Administration 

of Public Health Programs). 

Title: Agency Information Collection 

Activities Supporting the Second Cycle 

of Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring 

in Public Water Systems 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2192.03, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0270. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

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, 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 Safe Drinking Water Act 

(SDWA), as amended in 1996, directs 

EPA to establish criteria for a program 

to monitor not more than 30 

unregulated contaminants every five 

years. EPA published the first group of 

contaminants in the Unregulated 

Contaminant Monitoring Regulation 

(i.e., UCMR 1), which established a 

revised approach for UCMR 

implementation, in the Federal Register 

dated September 17, 1999 (64 FR 

50556). EPA published the second 

group of contaminants in UCMR 2, in 

the Federal Register dated January 4, 

2007 (72 FR 367). This regulation met 

the SDWA requirement by identifying 

25 new priority contaminants to be 

monitored during the UCMR 2 cycle of 

2007–2011. 

Under UCMR 2, Assessment 

Monitoring uses more common 

analytical method technologies used by 

drinking water laboratories. All PWSs 

serving more than 10,000 people, and 

800 representative PWSs serving fewer 

than 10,001 people are required to 

monitor for the 10 ‘‘List 1’’ 

contaminants during a 12-month period 

between January 2008–December 2010. 

Screening Survey monitoring uses more 

specialized analytical method 

technologies not commonly used by 

drinking water laboratories. All PWSs 

serving more than 100,000 people, 320 

representative PWSs serving 10,001– 

100,000 people, and 480 representative 

PWSs serving fewer than 10,001 people 

are required to monitor for the 15 ‘‘List 

2’’ contaminants during a 12-month 

period between January 2008–December 

2010. 

This notice proposes renewal of the 

currently approved UCMR 2 ICR (OMB 

Control No. 2040–0270), which covers 

the period of 2007–2009. This ICR 

renewal will account for activities 

conducted during 2010–2012. Note that 

the complete five-year UCMR 2 cycle of 

2007–2011 overlaps with the applicable 

ICR renewal period only during 2010 

and 2011. Public water systems will 

only be involved in active monitoring 

during 2010 (i.e., one-third of this ICR 

period). 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 9, 2009 / Notices 27313 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.9 hours per 

response. 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 supporting statement 

provides a detailed explanation of the 

Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly 

summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1,694 (1,638 public water 

systems and 56 State primacy agencies). 

Frequency of response: 1 response per 

year. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 3. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

9,761. 

Estimated average number of burden 

hours per response: 1.9. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$3,250,616. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $387,096 and an 

estimated cost of $2,863,520 for 

analytical costs. 

Small systems (those serving 10,000 

or fewer) that are selected for UCMR 2 

monitoring will sample an average of 

2.7 times per system (i.e., number of 

responses per system) across the threeyear ICR renewal period of 2010–2012. 

The average total burden per response 

for small systems is estimated to be 1.8 

hours. Large systems (those serving 

10,001 to 100,000) and very large 

systems (those serving more than 

100,000) will sample and report an 

average of 3.1 and 3.6 times per system, 

respectively, across the three-year ICR 

period of 2010–2012. The average total 

burdens per response for large and very 

large systems are estimated to be 3.8 and 

8.7 hours, respectively. The larger 

burden per response for the very large 

systems reflects the fact that these 

systems typically have more sampling 

locations than large systems. States are 

assumed to incur 2 responses over the 

three-year ICR period related to 

coordination with EPA and systems, 

with an average burden per response of 

95.2 hours. In aggregate, during the ICR 

period of 2010–2012, the average 

response (e.g., responses from systems 

and States) is associated with a total 

burden of 5.8 hours, with a labor plus 

non-labor cost of $1,939 per response. 

The annual average per respondent 

burden hours and costs for the ICR 

period of 2010–2012 are: small 

systems—1.6 hour burden at $44 for 

labor; large systems—3.8 hours at $114 

for labor, and $1,747 for analytical costs; 

very large systems—10.4 hours at $369 

for labor, and $7,260 for analytical costs; 

and States—63.5 hours at $3,499 for 

labor. Annual average burden and cost 

per respondent (including both systems 

and States) is estimated to be 5.8 hours, 

with a labor plus non-labor cost of 

$1,919 per respondent (note that small 

systems do not pay for testing costs, so 

they only incur labor costs). The total 

annual burden for the ICR reporting 

period of 2010–2012 is 9,761 hours 

(with a labor cost of $387,096); the total 

annual analytical cost is $2.86 million. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

The renewal of this ICR will result in 

an overall decrease of 91,875 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

identified in the currently approved ICR 

(OMB Control No. 2040–0270). The 

complete five-year UCMR 2 cycle of 

2007–2011 overlaps with the applicable 

ICR renewal period only during 2010 

and 2011. Moreover, public water 

systems will only be involved in active 

monitoring during 2010 (i.e., one-third 

of this ICR period). Thus, the reasons 

that respondents to UCMR 2 will incur 

a different burden during this second 

ICR period of 2010–2012, than during 

the first UCMR 2 ICR period of 2007– 

2009 include: 

• Fewer PWSs participating during 

this ICR period: UCMR 2 monitoring 

takes place from 2008–2010, with 

approximately 1⁄3 of systems 

participating in each of those three 

years. Thus, during the first ICR period 

of 2007–2009, approximately 2⁄3 of 

participating systems (~ 3,275 systems) 

have completed their required 

monitoring, and during the second ICR 

period of 2010–2012, the remaining 1⁄3

(~ 1,638 systems) will complete their 

required monitoring. 

• Schedule of activities for PWSs 

different during this ICR period: Some 

initial activities were conducted by all 

systems during 2007 (or prior to 

monitoring), including reading 

regulations, and reporting prior to 

monitoring (contact and sampling 

location information, and proposals to 

reduce the number of required 

monitoring locations). Thus, there are 

some PWS activities that took place 

during the first UCMR 2 ICR period of 

2007–2009, that will not take place 

during the second ICR period of 2010– 

2012. 

• Schedule of activities also different 

for participating States and EPA: 

Management and support activities for 

States and EPA also vary with the 

UCMR 2 monitoring schedule. Thus, 

both States and EPA are expected to 

have different burdens during this 

second UCMR 2 ICR period of 2010– 

2012. 

What Is the Next Step in the Process for 

This ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
