48078 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 198 / Monday, October 16, 2017 / Notices 

State responsibilities for 

Cryptosporidium laboratory approval 

and oversight will be comparable to 

their certification responsibilities for the 

chemistry and microbiology laboratories 

that they oversee in their current 

programs (e.g., initial evaluation of 

laboratory capability; ongoing 

assessment of the laboratory—including 

an assessment of Proficiency Test 

results; and on-site audits, at least 

triennially). Whereas 40 CFR 142.10(b) 

generally requires the establishment and 

maintenance of a laboratory 

‘‘certification’’ program for all regulated 

analytes, state approval programs for 

Cryptosporidium laboratories are 

optional based on the structure of the 

LT2ESWTR (40 CFR 141.705(a)). 

If a laboratory is located in a state that 

does not operate a Cryptosporidium 

laboratory certification/accreditation 

program, that laboratory can still 

support LT2ESWTR monitoring if the 

laboratory has been approved by 

another state’s laboratory certification/ 

accreditation program that: (1) Has 

demonstrated substantial conformity to 

procedures described in Chapter 7 of 

‘‘Supplement 2 to the Fifth Edition of 

the Manual for the Certification of 

Laboratories Analyzing Drinking Water’’ 

https://www.epa.gov/dwlabcert/ 

supplement-2-fifth-edition-manualcertification-laboratories-analyzingdrinking-water; and (2) uses auditors 

that have passed EPA’s Technical 

Support Center’s (TSC) 

Cryptosporidium Laboratory 

Certification Officers Training Course. 

PWSs should be aware that their states 

may establish requirements that are 

more stringent than EPA’s regulations; 

state requirements would take 

precedence. 

Consistent with the longstanding 

laboratory certification program 

approach, and resources-permitting, 

TSC will: (1) Train state/regional 

Certification Officers (CO) responsible 

for auditing Cryptosporidium 

laboratories; (2) provide written 

guidance to state/regional COs; (3) 

provide day-to-day technical support to 

states, EPA Regions, and laboratories; 

(4) review/assist the regional programs 

that oversee state certification/ 

accreditation programs; and (5) 

maintain a list of links to state Web sites 

naming certified laboratories and/or a 

list of certified laboratories on EPA’s 

Web site. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Interested states and laboratories. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 43 

labs and 20 states/territories. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 3,741 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $669,490, 

includes $332,891 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is 

decrease of 1,731 hours and $134,284 in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This decrease is due 

to a reduced number of laboratories (45 

to 43), re-evaluation of hours for tasks, 

and an improved demonstration of 

capability by the laboratories.
