small businesses, etc.) to help shop 

owners reduce paint, solvent and 

related hazardous waste disposal costs. 

The CRC also aims to achieve enhanced 

compliance with the Surface Coating 

Rule by encouraging shops to reduce 

pollutant emissions early and to levels 

beyond those required by the rule. The 

CRC team will use the surveys to collect 

anecdotal information about the use of 

emission reduction best practices at 

auto body shops and measure the 

effectiveness of particular outreach, 

education, and training activities 

undertaken as part of the CRC. The team 

will use that information to judge the 

success and efficacy of the specific 

outreach activity surveyed, and 

information collected can be used to 

help improve program implementation. 

The information obtained under this 

ICR will not be used to make major 

policy decisions. No confidential or 

sensitive data will be collected under 

this ICR. This is a pilot project designed 

to help EPA improve its data collection 

methods and improve its analyses of the 

Agency’s compliance assistance 

program. 

A respondent’s participation in this 

information collection process will be 

voluntary. The survey questions are 

designed to assess whether the 

assistance provided during the pilot 

helped the owner/operator understand 

the applicable environmental 

regulations, and whether the assistance 

helped the owner/operator implement 

operational changes that resulted in 

improved environmental practices. 

Improved environmental practices 

include a change in behavior that 

resulted in a shop either returning to 

compliance with regulations or taking 

steps toward achieving compliance. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to be average a response time 

of 10 minutes for each phone survey, 

and 75 minutes for each on-site visit. 

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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Automotive body, paint, and interior 

repair and maintenance shops located in 

risk-based clusters in Massachusetts, 

Oklahoma and Virginia. Surveys 

conducted for the Collision Repair 

Campaign may be administered to 

owners or operators of collision repair 

or auto body shops who have completed 

training provided by the CRC team and 

their partners or who have requested 

and received materials developed by the 

team such as DVDs, brochures, Web 

sites, etc., anywhere in the U.S. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,840 for the auto body shop study, and 

7,500 for the Collision Repair Campaign. 

Frequency of Response: 3,113 

responses annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,617 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$152,510 includes $0 annualized capital 

or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: This is a 

new collection.

II. ICR To Be Renewed 

A. For All ICR 

The Agency computed the burden for 

each of the recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements applicable to the industry 

for the currently approved ICR listed in 

this notice. Where applicable, the 

Agency identified specific tasks and 

made assumptions, while being 

consistent with the concept of the PRA. 

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 to; 

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 listed ICR addresses Safe 

Drinking Water Act information 

collection requirements which have 

mandatory reporting requirements. The 

requirements are mandated under 

Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of the Safe 

Drinking Water Act. 

An Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information, 

unless the Agency displays a currently 

valid OMB control number. The OMB 

control numbers for EPA’s regulations 

under Title 40 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations are published in the 

Federal Register, or on the related 

collection instrument or form. The 

display of OMB control numbers for 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

at 40 CFR part 9. 

B. What Information Collection Activity 

or ICR Does This Apply to? 

In compliance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 

this notice announces that EPA is 

planning to submit a continuing 

Information Collection Request (ICR) to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB): 

(1) Docket ID Number: EPA–HQ– 

OECA–2009–0280. 

Title: Annual Public Water Systems 

Compliance Report. 

ICR Number: EPA ICR Number 

1812.04, OMB Control Number 2020–

Compliance Report; Joyce Chandler of 

the Office of Compliance at (202) 564– 

7073; or via E-mail to:

Affected Entities: Fifty-six states 

(including Puerto Rico, the Virgin 

Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands, and Navajo Nation) currently 

have primary enforcement authority 

under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The 

State of Wyoming and the District of 

Columbia neither currently have 

primary enforcement authority nor are 

currently seeking primary authority, so 

the number of 56 states is unlikely to 

change during the next three years. 

31732 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 126 / Thursday, July 2, 2009 / Notices 

Abstract: Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of the 

Safe Drinking Water Act requires that 

each state (a term that includes states, 

commonwealths and territories) that has 

primary enforcement authority under 

the Act shall prepare, make readily 

available to the public, and submit to 

the Administrator of EPA, an annual 

report of violations of national primary 

drinking water regulations in the State. 

These Annual State Public Water 

System Compliance Reports are to 

include violations of maximum 

contaminant levels, treatment 

requirements, variances and 

exemptions, and monitoring 

requirements determined to be 

significant by the Administrator after 

consultation with the states. To 

minimize a state’s burden in preparing 

its annual statutorily-required report, 

EPA issued guidance that explains what 

Section 1414(c)(3)(A) requires and 

provides model language and reporting 

templates. EPA also annually makes 

available to the states a computer query 

that generates for each state (from 

information states are already separately 

required to submit to EPA’s national 

database on a quarterly basis) the 

required violations information in a 

table consistent with the reporting 

template in EPA’s guidance. 

Affected Entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are states, tribes, 

and territories that have primary 

enforcement authority and meet the 

definition of ‘‘state’’ under the Safe 

Drinking Water Act (Act). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

56. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,480 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$280,000. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $280,000 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 80 hours in the total 

estimated hour burden currently 

identified in the OMB inventory of 

Approved ICR Burden. This is due to 

the fact that the number of respondents 

included in the current approved ICR 

incorrectly counted the burden of the 

District of Columbia as a respondent, 

when that burden is done by EPA, not 

the District of Columbia. The hour 

burden for each respondent is estimated 

as 80 hours. 

EPA will consider any comments 

received and may amend any of the 

above ICR, as appropriate. Then the 

final ICR packages will be submitted to 

OMB for review and approval pursuant 

to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will 

issue one Federal Register notice 

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

announce the submission of the ICR(s) 

to OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about any of the 

above or the approval process, please 

contact the person listed under FOR

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) 

Clarification of April 30, 2009 

Addendum to Supplemental Funding 

for Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund 

(RLF) Grantees 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA published a notice on 

April 30, 2009 concerning the 

applicability of Title XVI, section 1605 

of the Recovery Act (‘‘Buy American’’), 

to loans and subgrants that would be 

made with approximately $40 million in 

Recovery Act funding the Agency will 

use to supplement Revolving Loan Fund 

capitalization grants previously 

awarded competitively under section 

104(k)(3) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, Compensation 

and Liability Act (CERCLA). The April 

30, 2009 notice stated that ‘‘remediation 

activities conducted with RLF 

supplemental funds by private sector 

developers, non-profit organizations or 

other non-governmental borrowers or 

subgrantees, and tribes, are not public 

buildings or public works for the 

purposes of the Buy American provision 

of the Recovery Act as implemented at 

subpart B of 2 CFR part 176.’’ This 

notice clarifies that statement. If a nongovernmental or tribal borrower or 

subgrantee uses RLF supplemental 

funds to remediate a public building or 

public work as defined by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

regulations, the Buy American provision 

of the Recovery Act will apply to that 

loan or subgrant. 

DATES: This action is effective July 2, 

2009.

and Emergency Response, Office of 

Brownfields and Land Revitalization,

Brownfields Regional Contact. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 17, 2009, President 

Barack Obama signed the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 

(Pub. L. 111–05) (Recovery Act). Title 

XVI, section 1605 of the Recovery Act, 

(‘‘Buy American’’) prohibits the use of 

Recovery Act funds for projects 

involving ‘‘the construction, alteration, 

maintenance or repair of a public 

building or public work unless all of the 

iron, steel, and manufactured goods 

used in the project are produced in the 

United States’’ unless certain specified 

exceptions apply. OMB has issued 

regulations at subpart B of 2 CFR part 

176 implementing the Recovery Act Buy 

American provision. 

EPA received $100 million in 

Recovery Act appropriations for the 

CERCLA 104(k) Brownfields Program of 

which 25% must be used at brownfields 

sites contaminated with petroleum. As 

indicated in EPA’s April 10, 2009 notice 

(74 FR 16386), the Agency has allocated 

approximately $40 million of Recovery 

Act funds for supplemental funding of 

current RLF grantees as authorized by 

CERCLA 104(k)(4). On April 30, 2009, 

EPA issued a notice (74 FR 19954) 

regarding the applicability of the Buy 

American provision of the Recovery Act 

to this supplemental funding. The April 

30 notice stated that, ‘‘It is possible that 

a limited amount of RLF supplemental 

funding will be used directly by nonfederal governmental entity borrowers 

or subgrantees to install concrete or 

asphalt (or similar material) caps to 

remediate contamination on 

brownfields on a public building or 

public work, as defined at 2 CFR 

176.140(a), or to construct alternative 

drinking water systems as part of the 

remedy at a brownfields site * * *. 

Construction of alternate drinking water 

systems by a non-federal governmental 

entity with RLF supplemental funding 

would be a public work under 2 CFR 

176.140(a) * * *. Please note that in 

accordance with 2 CFR 176.140(a), 

remediation activities conducted with 

RLF supplemental funds by private 

sector developers, non-profit 

organizations or other nongovernmental borrowers or subgrantees, 

and tribes are not public buildings or 

public works for the purposes of the 

Buy American provision of the Recovery 

Act as implemented at subpart B of 2 

CFR part 176.’’ Upon further review, 

EPA has determined that when a nongovernmental borrower or subgrantee
