This
ICR
revision
requests
approval
from
OMB
to
allow
follow­
up
with
a
limited
number
of
earlier
survey
respondents
for
clarifications
of
their
responses
and
to
request
their
316(
b)
environmental
studies.
For
these
activities,
no
changes
will
be
made
to
the
original
survey
and
no
new
surveys
will
be
distributed.
Follow
up
activities
will
consist
of
contacting,
to
the
extent
necessary,
previously
surveyed
facilities
to
ask
non­
standardized
follow­
up
questions.
EPA
may
contact
approximately
60
previously
surveyed
Phase
III
facilities
(
Traditional
Steam
Electric
Utilities,
Nonutility
Power
Producers,
Paper
and
Allied
Products;

Chemical
and
Allied
Products;
Petroleum
and
Coal
Products;
Primary
Metals)
because
they
did
not
fully
answer
the
survey
questions
or
provided
questionable
data.
EPA
also
may
contact
up
to
20
previously
surveyed
facilities
to
follow­
up
on
the
availability
of
environmental
studies
and
data.
These
activities
will
involve
80
respondents
at
a
total
respondent
cost
of
$
5,.

In
addition,
this
ICR
revision
requests
approval
from
OMB
to
expand
the
scope
of
the
originally
approved
ICR
to
more
accurately

From
public
comments
received
on
the
proposed
Phase
I
cooling
water
intake
structure
rule
(
65
FR
49060),
EPA
learned
that
two
industries
which
may
be
subject
to
Section
316(
b),
Offshore
and
Coastal
Oil
and
Gas
Extraction
facilities
(
OCOGEFs),
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels,

present
unique
engineering,
cost
and
economic
issues
that
cannot
be
addressed
using
information
already
collected
for
shore­
based
facilities.
These
two
industries
were
not
surveyed
by
the
original
questionnaires
because
they
were
not
considered
potentially
in­
scope
at
the
time.

Section
316(
b)
provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or
306
of
the
CWA
and
applicable
to
a
point
source
shall
require
that
the
location,
design,
construction,

and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflect
the
best
technology
available
(
BTA)
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.
Such
impacts
occur
as
a
result
of
impingement
(
the
trapping
of
fish
and
other
aquatic
life
on
technologies
at
the
entrance
to
cooling
water
intake
structures)
and
entrainment
(
in
which
aquatic
organisms,
eggs,
and
larvae
are
drawn
into
the
cooling
system,
passed
through
the
heat
exchanger,
and
then
pumped
back
out
with
the
discharge
from
the
facility).
Facilities
potentially
affected
by
Section
316(
b)
are
those
that
use
cooling
water
intake
structures
to
withdraw
water
from
waters
of
the
U.
S.
for
cooling
purposes
and
have
or
are
required
to
have
a
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permit
issued
under
section
402
of
the
CWA.

The
title
of
this
ICR
has
been
changed
from
the
original
title,
Industry
Detailed
Questionnaire:
Phase
II
Cooling
Water
Intake
Structures,
to
Industry
Detailed
Questionnaire:

Phase

EPA
requires
a
revision
of
the
ICR
because
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
were
not
surveyed
during
the
original
information
collection
request
effort.
The
original
ICR
focused
on
a)
traditional
utilities
and
nonutility
power
producers
that
generate
electricity
by
means
of
steam
as
the
thermodynamic
medium
(
steam
electric)
because
they
are
associated
with
large
cooling
water
needs,
and
b)
four
other
industrial
categories
for
which
publicly
available
data
showed
large
quantities
of
cooling
water
use.
Together,
EPA
estimates
that
these
six
industrial
sectors
account
for
more
than
99
percent
of
all
cooling
water
used
in
the
U.
S.
At
the
time,
EPA
was
not
aware
that
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
would
potentially
be
subject
to
regulation
under
Section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA
and
EPA
did
not
possess
the
data
required
to
assess
the
engineering,
cost
and
economic
issues
unique
to
these
industrial
categories.
Information
provided
in
public
comments
on
EPA's
Phase
I
regulatory
proposal
for
new
power
plants
and
industrial
facilities
(
65
FR
49060)
made
EPA
aware
of
this
issue
and
prompted
EPA
to
defer
consideration
of
OCOGEFs
until
the
Phase
III
rule,
which
under
the
second
amended
consent
decree
must
be
proposed
no
later
than
November
1,
2004.

EPA
has
revised
the
original
questionnaires
to
customize
them
for
the
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels.
Many
sections
of
the
questionnaires
will
be
deleted
making
the
questionnaire
less
burdensome
than
the
original.
Details
of
modifications
to
the
surveys
are
found
in
Section
4(
b).

The
survey
effort
will
incorporate
four
questionnaires,
modified
from
the
previously
approved
ICR
questionnaires,
to
collect
both
firm­
level
and
facility­
level
technical
and
financial/
economic
information.
The
technical
questionnaires
are
based
upon
the
originally
approved
"
Industry
Short
Technical
Questionnaire
­
Phase
II
Cooling
Water
Intake
Structures,"

modified
to
accommodate
the
unique
technical
characteristics
of
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
and
OCOGEFs
(
mobile
drilling
units
and
oil
&
gas
platforms).
The
financial/
economic
questionnaires
are
based
upon
the
financial/
economic
portion
of
the
originally
approved
"

modified
to
accommodate
the
unique
technical,
financial,
and
economic
characteristics
of
these
industries.
In
revising
the
approved
questionnaires,
EPA
followed
the
structure
and
the
questions
of
the
previously
approved
questionnaires.
Terms
and
definitions
were
changed
as
necessary,
and
EPA
eliminated
questions
and
items
that
would
not
apply
to
vessels,
mobile
drilling
units,
or
oil
&
gas
platforms.
For
some
questions,
a
different
list
of
response
items
was
necessary
(
for
example,
the
principle
uses
of
cooling
water,
and
the
intake
technologies).
Other
questions
were
eliminated.
Generally,
each
question
in
the
revised
technical
questionnaires
has
a
parallel
in
the
previously
approved
industry
questionnaires,
and
therefore
has
a
necessary
purpose
that
was
previously
reviewed
and
approved.
All
questionnaires
have
been
designed
with
the
intent
to
minimize
burden
on
the
respondents
to
the
extent
possible.

The
following
four
questionnaires
will
be
distributed
under
this
effort:

For
the
OCOGEFs,
each
facility
will
receive
an
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
package
that
contains
financial/
economic
questions.
The
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
will
be
directed
to
a
sample
of
200
firms
that
have
been
chosen
based
on
certain
characteristics
or
stratifying
variables.
EPA
has
acquired
data
from
current
industry
surveys
and
commercial
databases
that
identify
OCOGEFs
in
the
Gulf
of
Alaska,
California,
and
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.

Through
these
sources,
EPA
has
obtained
current
technical
data
on
140
mobile
offshore
drilling
units
(
MODUs)
and
does
not
intend
to
request
technical
data
for
MODUs
where
that
information
duplicates
the
information
already
available.
EPA
does
not
have
sufficient
current
technical
data
on
cooling
water
intakes
and
systems
for
OCOGEFs
in
State
Waters
and
for
fixed
platforms
in
Outer
Continental
Shelf.
EPA
also
lacks
sufficient
information
to
characterize
equipment
configurations
for
the
population
of
MODUs,
information
that
is
necessary
to
extrapolate
any
technical
and
cost
analyses
based
on
the
industry
data
now
in
hand.
EPA
intends
to
use
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
to
collect
technical
data
on
fixed
platforms
and
some
types
of
MODUs
operating
in
these
waters.
The
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
will
be
sent
to
250
OCOGEFs.

EPA
has
begun
to
collect
publicly
available
information
on
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
to
identify
uses
and
volumes
of
cooling
water,
numbers
of
vessels,
areas
of
operation,
and
the
number
of
vessel
owners
that
are
small
businesses.
Data
indicate
that
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
do
use
cooling
water
and
withdraw
volumes
of
cooling
water
that
may
make
them
potentially
subject
to
regulation
under
Section
316(
b).
Public
and
commercial
data
sources
do
not
contain
appropriate
information
to
support
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking
effort.
Therefore,

EPA
intends
to
send
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
and
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
to
the
owners
of
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
to
determine
which
ones
would
potentially
be
affected
by
the
Phase
III
rule.

will
help
EPA
determine
appropriate

Under
the
terms
of
the
second

decree,
EPA
must
take
final

on
the
Phase

regulations
by
no
later
than
February

Under
the
second

consent
decree,
EPA
must
also
propose
"
Phase
III"
regulations
by
November
1,
2004
and
take
final
action
on
these
regulations
by
June
1,
2006.
The
Phase
III
regulations
must,
at
a
minimum,

address
existing
utility
and
non­
utility
power
producers
not
covered
by
the
Phase
II
Regulations;

and
other
industrial
facilities
that
employ
cooling
water
intake
structures.
This
potentially
includes
new
and
existing
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels.

As
discussed
in
Section
1(
b),
above,
EPA
needs
to
collect
information
through
appropriate
follow­
up
to
previous
survey
efforts
of
Phase
II
and
Phase
III
facilities,
and
focused
surveying
of
both
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels,
to
comply
with
the
amended
consent
decree
and
to
ensure
a
sound
technical
basis
for
Agency
decisions
regarding
the
scope
and
requirements
of
future
regulations
implementing
Section
316(
b).
Both
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
have
not
been
previously
surveyed
for
the
316(
b)
rule
because,
at
the
time
of
the
original
survey,
EPA
was
not
aware
that
these
facilities
would
be
potentially
subject
to
regulation
under
Section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA.
Facilities
within
these
sectors

the
shore­
based
facilities
that
have
been
the
focus
of
the
316(
b)
regulatory
development
process
to
date.
These
industry
sectors
present
unique
issues
with
regard
to
their
cooling
water
use,

cooling
water
intake
design,
mechanical
and
physical
processes,
vessel
design,
vessel
regulation,

technologies
available
to
reduce
cooling
water
intake
environmental
impact,
and
nature
and
extent
of
any
such
impact.
For
example,
these
sectors
introduce
cooling
water
intakes
that
are
mobile
for
the
first
time
in
this
rulemaking.
In
addition,
certain
technologies
that
are
available
to
shore­
based
facilities
are
not
likely
to
be
available
or
effective
for
facilities
within
these
sectors
(
e.
g.,
bypass
systems,
gunderbooms).
EPA
has
collected
publically
available
data
regarding
these
industry
sectors
from
a
variety
of
sources,
as
discussed
in
Section
3.
Based
on
this
information,
EPA
has
identified
information
needs
and
seeks
to
address
them
through
this
information
collection
effort.
EPA
has
the
authority
to
collect
this
information
under
Section
308
of
the
CWA
(
33
U.
S.
C.
Section
1318)
therefore
responses
to
these
questionnaires
are
mandatory.

OMB's
regulations
implementing
the
Paperwork

Act
provide
that
an
agency
submission
of
a
proposed

shall
certify
that

EPA
believes
the
collection
of
the
information
requested
in
the
questionnaires
for
the
OCOGEFs
and
the
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
is
necessary
to
properly
perform
the
Agency's
functional
requirements.
The
Consent
Decree
in
Riverkeeper
v.
Whitman
obligates
EPA
to
propose
the
Phase
III
regulations
implementing
Section
316(
b)
no
later
than
November
1,
2004
and
to
take
final
action
with
respect
to
the
regulations
no
later
than
June
1,
2006.

The
information
collected
through
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
and
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire,
in
conjunction
with
other
data
(
i.
e.,
from
case
studies,

publicly
available
data,
literature
sources,
and
studies
from
manufacturers),
will
help
EPA
characterize
various
candidate
technologies
and
determine
where
and
under
what
environmental
conditions
these
technologies
are
being
used.
This
will
help
EPA
develop
regulatory
options
for
evaluation
and
enable
the
selection
of
a
regulatory
option
for
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
when
the
Agency
takes
final
action
as
required
by
the
consent
decree.

Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
As
stated
earlier,
Section
316(
b)
provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or
306
of
the
CWA
and
applicable
to
a
point
source
shall
require
that
the
location,

design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflect
the
BTA
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.
As
such,
EPA
will
ultimately
use
the
data
collected
to
determine
regulatory
scope
and
develop
regulatory
options
for
minimizing
environmental
impacts
caused
by
cooling
water
intake
structures.

With
this
revision,
EPA
would
collect
information
from
both
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
via
the
Industry
Economic
and
Technical
Questionnaires.
The
data
will
be
entered
into
a
database
that
can
be
queried
to
provide
aggregated
information
that
the
Agency
can
use
in
decision
making
and
for
development
of
regulatory
options
during
the
rulemaking
process.

EPA
reviewed
existing
data
sources
to
identify
currently
available
information
on
entities
subject
to
Section
316(
b)
regulation
and
to
ensure
that
the
data
requested
in
the
Section
316(
b)
surveys
are
not
otherwise
accessible.
Data
sources
reviewed
included
data
collected
by
offices
within
EPA;
data,
reports,
and
analyses
published
by
other
federal
agencies;
reports
and
analyses
published
by
industry;
and
publicly
available
financial
information
compiled
by
government
and
private
organizations.
A
summary
of
all
data
sources
reviewed
for
information
on
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
and
OCOGEFs
is
found
in
Attachments
7
and
8,
respectively.

EPA
has
acquired
sufficient
technical
data
for
MODUs
from
current
industry
surveys
and
commercial
databases
that
identify
OCOGEFs
in
the
Gulf
of
Alaska,
California,
and
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.
This
industry
data
will
allow
EPA
to
evaluate
technical
options
and
costs.

However,
EPA
lacks
sufficient
information
to
characterize
equipment
configurations
for
the
population
of
MODUs,
information
that
is
necessary
to
extrapolate
any
technical
option
and
cost
analyses
to
the
full
population
of
MODUs.
EPA
also
lacks
sufficient
technical
information
about
fixed
platforms
in
this
industry
and
will
need
to
acquire
such
data
using
the
survey
described
herein.
EPA
will
also
use
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
to
obtain

and
economic
information
from
this
industry
because
public
and
commercial
data
sources
do
not
provide
the
necessary
information.

As
stated
previously,
EPA
has
begun
to
collect
publicly
available
information
on
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
to
identify
uses
and
volumes
of
cooling
water,
numbers
of
vessels,

areas
of
operation,
and
the
number
that
are
considered
small
businesses.
In
the
process
of
researching
Seafood
Processing
Vessels,
public
databases
were
acquired
from
EPA
Region
10
for
Alaskan
seafood
processors.
The
databases
contain
general
information
on
both
on­
shore
facilities
and
vessels
such
as
facility
name,
parent
company
name,
NPDES
number,
permit
renewal
dates,
Standard
Industrial
Code
(
SIC)
code,
contact
information,
basic
facility
or
vessel
information,
product
(
catch)
data
and
facility
coordinates
(
latitude
and
longitude).
However,

these
sources
do
not
provide
EPA
with
sufficient
cooling
water
intake
structure
technical
data
to
determine
the
impact
that
the
Phase
III
rule
would
have
on
the
industry.
Therefore,
EPA
proposes
to
collect
additional
technical,
economic
and
financial
data
on
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
through
both
the
Industry
Technical
and
Industry
Economic
Questionnaires.

The
activities
were
intended
to
provide
EPA
with
feedback

Subpart
B,
Section
2.203,
the
questionnaires
inform
respondents
of
their
right
to
claim
information
as
confidential.
The
survey
provides
instructions
on
the
procedures
for
making
Confidential
Business
Information
(
CBI)
claims.
The
respondents
are
also
informed
of
the
terms
and
rules
governing
protection
of
CBI
obtained
under
the
CWA.

EPA
and
its
contractors
will
follow
EAD's
existing
CBI
plan
to
protect
data
labeled
as
CBI.
These
plans
include
the
following
procedures:

C
Ensure
secure
handling
of
completed
questionnaires
that
precludes
access
by
unauthorized
personnel.

C
Store
the
completed
questionnaires
and
databases
in
secured
areas
of
EPA
and
the
authorized
contractors'
offices,
with
access
restricted
to
authorized
EPA

Individual
respondents
will
not
be
identified
in
summary
reports
and
the
contractors
will
not
release
respondents'
names
to
unauthorized
individuals.

Each
contractor
that
collects,
processes,
or
stores
CBI
is
responsible
for
ensuring
the
confidentiality
of
those

Seafood
Processing
Vessels
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
are
designated
primarily
as
SIC
code
2092
(
with
a
few
others
designated
as
2077)
and
are
floating
processors
or
on
board
factory
trawlers.
Floating
processors
are
typically
ships
and
barges
that
have
been
converted
into
floating
fish­
processing
factories.

The
floating
processors
usually
anchor
near
shore
and
receive
harvested
fish
for
processing.
The
processors
may
stay
in
one
place
for
as
long
as
three
months
at
a
time.
There
are
often
over
one
hundred
crew
members
on
board
processing
everything
from
bottomfish
and
king
crab
to
salmon
and
halibut.
After
the
catch
is
hauled
in,
it
is
sorted,
processed,
and
frozen
below
deck.
Once
the
ship's
holds
are
full,
the
ship
steams
to
port,
where
it
docks
briefly
to
unload
its
frozen
catch
for
further
processing
or
shipping.
As
soon
as
it
is
restocked
with
supplies,
the
processor
returns
to
sea.
Most
floating
processors
are
based
out
of
Seattle
and
operate
primarily
in
the
Gulf
of
Alaska
and
Bering
Sea.

Factory
trawlers
operate
in
Bristol
Bay
and
the
Bering
Sea
both
catching
and
processing
seafood
product.
Trawlers
are
the
most
powerful
vessels
in
the
world
fishing
fleet,
and
the
most
efficient
fish­
catching
machines
in
the
world.
A
trawler
can
catch
400
tons
of
fish
per
day,
and
process
50­
80
tons
or
more
of
product
per
day.
One
two­
hour
tow
of
the
net
may
yield
up
to
100
tons
or
more.

On
all
Seafood
Processing
Vessels,
seawater
is
drawn
in
through
pumps
located
at
the
bottom
of
the
boat.
The
intake
system
is
called
the
sea
chest.
Water
then
passes
through
a
series
of
strainers
and
into
pipes
a
few
inches
in
diameter.
From
there,
water
is
diverted
for
use
as
process
water,
cooling
water,
desalination,
etc.
Processed
or
unused
water
is
then
expelled
through
the
exhaust
elbow
back
to
the
sea.

Seafood
Processing
Vessels
are
permitted
under
NPDES
because
of
their
discharge
of
seafood
processing
wastes.
Most
such
vessels
operate
in
the
US
North
Pacific
fishery
under
a
general
permit
issued
by
EPA
Region
10.
That
general
permit
requires
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
to

obtain
a
permit
if
their
waste
discharge
exceeds
a
threshold
of
1,000
lbs/
day
or
30,000
lbs/
year.

Some
vessels
under
this
threshold
have
also
obtained
permits.
A
small
number
of
NPDES
permits
for
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
are
issued
by
States.

Offshore
and
Coastal
Oil
and
Gas
Extraction
Facilities
The
OCOGEFs
fall
under
SIC
code
1311
(
Crude
Petroleum
&
Natural
Gas
Extraction)
and
1381
(
Drilling
Oil
and
Gas
Wells).
There
are
numerous
different
types
of
OCOGEFs
where
noncontact
once­
through
water
is
used
to
cool
crude
oil,
produced
water,
power
generators
and
various
other
pieces
of
machinery
(
e.
g.,
drawworks
brakes).
Some
facilities
are
fixed
platforms
where
developmental
drilling
and
production
occurs.
Most
of
these
structures
use
a
pipe
with
passive
screens
(
strainers)
to
convey
cooling
waters.
Some
OCOGEFs
are
mobile.
These
mobile
offshore
drilling
units
(
MODUs)
are
used
for
exploratory
and
developmental
drilling.

There
are
five
main
types
of
MODUs:
drillships,
semi­
submersibles,
jack­
ups,
submersibles
and
drilling
barges.
The
type
of
MODU
selected
for
operation
at
a
specific
location
is
governed
primarily
by
water
depth,
anticipated
environmental
conditions,
and
the
design
of
the
well
in
relations
to
the
units
equipment.
In
general,
deeper
water
depths
or
deeper
wells
demand
units
with
a
higher
peak
power­
generation
and
drawworks
brake
cooling
capacities,
and
this
directly
impacts
the
demand
for
cooling
water.
Most
of
these
structures
use
seachests
to
convey
cooling
waters.

A
large
majority
of
the
oil
and
gas
extraction
occurs
in
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
in
the
Outer
Continental
Shell
(
OCS),
also
generally
referred
to
as
Federal
waters.
The
Federal
OCS
starts
three
geographical
miles
from
shore
and
extends
out
to
the
OCS
(
about
200
miles).
For
Texas
and
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
coast
of
Florida,
it
starts
about
9
miles
from
shore.

Collection
Methodology
and
Information
Management
EPA's
selection
of
new
industrial
categories
(
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels)
for
survey
sampling
was
based
on
new
information
provided
in
public
comments
on
EPA's
Phase
I
regulatory
proposal
for
new
power
plants
and
industrial
facilities.
This
new
information
made
EPA
aware
of
the
use
of
cooling
water
by
these
facilities
and
prompted
EPA
Information
Collection
Request
Part
A
of
the
Supporting
Statement
March
18,
2003
27
to
defer
consideration
of
these
categories
until
the
Phase
III
rule.
The
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
would
be
most
likely
affected
by
revision
of
the
data
collection
effort
because
EPA
did
not
survey
these
industries
during
the
original
information
collection
request
effort.
EPA
did
not
survey
these
industries
because,
at
the
time,
EPA
was
not
aware
that
these
facilities
would
be
potentially
subject
to
regulation
under
Section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA.

The
targeted
universe
(
initial
sample
frame)
for
the
cooling
water
intake
structure
questionnaires
is
the
population
of
OCOGEFs
and
the
population
of
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
likely
to
require
an
NPDES
permit.
To
minimize
the
burden
on
the
respondents,
EPA
is
allowing
the
respondents
to
complete
the
questionnaires
in
legible
handwriting
or
typewritten
form.
The
questionnaires
will
be
sent
via
a
carrier
that
requires
a
signature
to
acknowledge
receipt
(
i.
e.,
registered
mail).
By
sending
the
questionnaires
using
this
procedure,
EPA
ensures
that
the
designated
facility
receives
the
package
and
that
an
initial
facility
point­
of­
contact
is
identified.

Each
questionnaire
mailed
to
a
facility
will
have
a
unique
identification
number.
The
facility
identification
numbers,
in
conjunction
with
an
electronic
tracking
system,
will
be
used
to
track
the
mailing
date
of
the
questionnaires,
the
date
of
any
required
follow­
up
letters
or
telephone
call
to
respondents,
and
the
date
EPA
receives
the
completed
survey.
The
identification
number
will
also
serve
as
an
identification
code
for
data
entry
in
the
survey
database.
EPA
will
make
follow­
up
telephone
calls
to
survey
respondents
on
an
as­
needed
basis.

Upon
receipt
of
the
completed
questionnaires,
EPA
and
EPA
contractors
will
review
the
questionnaires
and
perform
data
entry
of
the
responses.
The
coded
questionnaire
responses
will
then
be
entered
into
a
database.
All
confidential
business
information
will
be
treated
according
to
CBI
procedures
established
for
EAD
and
its
contractors.

A
toll­
free
help
line
will
be
staffed
during
normal
business
hours
during
the
response
period
to
answer
questions
respondents
may
have
on
the
questionnaires.
The
help
line
will
be
staffed
with
trained
contractor
personnel
who
will
provide
respondents
with
assistance
in
completing
the
questionnaires.
The
help
line
provides
an
immediate
response
to
any
inquiries
which
ultimately
reduces
the
burden
to
the
respondents.
The
help
line
will
reduce
misinterpretations
of
the
questionnaires
and
thus
decrease
the
burden
that
EPA
would
create
if
the
Agency
had
to
call
site
personnel
to
clarify
incorrect
or
inaccurate
questionnaire
answers.

The
Agency
considered
creating
electronic
versions
of
the
survey
questionnaires.

However,
after
careful
analysis,
EPA
decided
that
electronic
questionnaires
would
not
be
efficient
for
the
following
reasons:

C
EPA
could
not
be
sure
that
the
software
at
the
respondent
facilities
would
be
comparable
with
the
EPA
software
used
to
develop
the
questionnaires.
Substantiating
this
view,
one
of
the
pretest
facilities
from
the
original
survey
effort
stated
that
the
diversity
of
information
systems
makes
it
impractical
to
require
electronic
submission
in
a
specified
format.

C
EPA
developed
the
questionnaire
using
as
many
check
box
and
closed­
ended
questions
as
possible
and
made
it
easy
to
split
sections
among
different
facility
departments.

C
EPA
determined
that
the
expense
of
developing
an
electronic
questionnaire
(
especially
if
both
an
electronic
and
hard
copy
version
needed
to
be
developed)
was
not
cost
effective
because
this
is
a
one­
time
survey
effort.
Since
this
survey
will
not
be
reused,
neither
the
respondents
nor
the
EPA
would
derive
any
significant
benefits
from
an
electronic
version
of
the
questionnaire.

EPA
confirmed
through
the
pretest
responses
to
the
original
surveys
that
the
hard­
copy
questionnaire
is
a
simple,
direct
means
to
collect
data.
None
of
the
pretest
respondents
requested
an
electronic
questionnaire
and
one
respondent
specifically
requested
that
EPA
not
require
that
facilities
respond
only
by
electronic
means.
The
feedback
from
pretest
respondents
Information
Collection
Request
Part
A
of
the
Supporting
Statement
March
18,
2003
29
indicates
that
the
questionnaires
on
the
whole
were
well
organized
and
easy
to
read
and
understand.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
The
majority
of
the
businesses
that
EPA
is
targeting
to
receive
the
questionnaires
are
not
defined
as
small.
EPA
hypothesized
that
small
entities
have
a
greater
probability
to
be
outof
scope
than
large
facilities.
This
hypothesis
was
verified
for
the
land­
based
industries
already
surveyed.
Given
this
hypothesis,
EPA
designed
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
to
allow
facilities
who
are
out­
of­
scope
to
exit
the
survey
before
having
to
invest
time
researching
data.

Facilities
will
be
instructed
to
first
complete
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
to
determine
whether
they
are
potentially
"
in
scope"
(
i.
e.,
whether
they
continue
past
the
scoping
section)
and
if
they
are
not
in
scope,
they
will
be
asked
to
not
begin
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire,

which
involves
a
greater
burden
than
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire.
The
simplicity
of
the
scoping
questions
and
the
greater
time
allowed
to
complete
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
will
facilitate
these
steps.

For
those
facilities
that
are
in­
scope,
EPA
requests
a
minimum
of
data
to
broadly
characterize
each
industrial
category
and
to
develop
a
valid
sample
frame
for
the
administration
of
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire.
EPA
designed
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
to
obtain
basic
cooling
water
use
and
operational
data
and
associated
economic
data
in
order
to
reduce
the
number
of
facilities
required
to
complete
the
questionnaires.
The
burden
of
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
is
estimated
at
56
hours
for
the
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
and
45
hours
for
OCOGEFs.
The
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
is
estimated
to
take
about
8
hours
to
complete
for
both
Seafood
ProcessingVessels
and
OCOGEFs.

EPA
has
taken
the
following
steps
to
minimize
the
time
and
effort
necessary
for
respondents
to
completed
the
questionnaires:

C
EPA
has
ensured
that
the
instructions
and
questions
are
clear.
This
principle
was
validated
during
the
original
pretest.
All
respondents
reported
that
the
instructions
and
questions
were
easy
to
read
and
understand.
Common
industry
terms
are
used
throughout
the
survey
to
make
it
more
understandable
to
the
respondents.
Questions
use
yes­
or­
no
or
multiple
choice
formats
wherever
possible.
Furthermore,
the
questionnaires
uses
skip
patterns
to
direct
respondents
to
only
those
questions
relevant
to
that
facility.

C
EPA
noticed
the
questionnaire
in
the
Federal
Register
(
67
FR
76400)
and
solicited
public
comment.
EPA
also
contacted
numerous
members
of
the
seafood
processing
industry
to
ensure
that
they
had
ample
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
questionnaire.

C
As
previously
discussed,
a
help
line
will
be
operational
during
the
survey
period
to
answer
respondents'
technical
questions.

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
and
Costs
EPA
estimates
that
the
data
collection
effort
would
require
recipients
to
devote
time
(
i.
e.,
as
measured
by
staff
man­
hours)
and
resources
(
i.
e.,
copies
of
documents
and
response
mailings)
to
produce
acceptable
responses
to
the
EPA
questionnaires.
EPA
expects
that
engineers,
engineering
supervisors,
accountants,
and
financial
personnel,
along
with
clerical
staff,
will
devote
time
toward
gathering
and
preparing
the
final
responses
for
this
one­
time
data
collection
activity.
The
costs
to
the
respondents'
facilities
associated
with
these
time
commitments
can
be
estimated
by
multiplying
the
time
spent
in
each
labor
category
by
an
appropriately
loaded
hourly
salary
rate.
Because
labor
rates
vary
so
widely
among
the
personnel
involved
in
completing
the
questionnaires,
EPA
generally
uses
an
average
loaded
hourly
rate
which
is
representative
of
the
average
salary
for
the
respondent
industry(
ies).
The
basis
for
the
labor
rate
that
will
be
used
for
purposes
of
this
cost
estimate
is
an
average
hourly
rate
for
whitecollar
workers
in
the
goods­
producing
manufacturing
industries
($
25.73
per
hour).
3
These
average
hourly
rates
are
published
by
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
each
year.
Assuming
a
fringe
rate
of
50
percent
and
a
67
percent
overhead
and
profit
rate,
the
hourly
rate
for
a
private
sector
employee
would
be
$
64.45
[(
25.73*(
1.5))*
1.67].

(

Follow­
up
Effort
Based
on
other
survey
efforts
conducted
by
the
Agency,
EPA
estimates
respondent
burden
for
follow­
up
activities
to
be
about
one
hour
per
respondent.
Follow
up
activities
will
consist
of
contacting,
to
the
extent
necessary,
previously
surveyed
facilities
to
ask
nonstandardized
follow­
up
questions.

Effort
To
develop
burden
cost
estimates
for
this
one­
time
data
collection
activity,
EPA
estimates
the
number
of
hours
that
would
be
required
to
complete
all
of
the
questions
in
the
questionnaires
(
including
reviewing
instructions,
researching
data
sources,
typing
or
writing
the
information
requested,
reviewing
responses,
and
returning
survey)
and
then
multiplied
these
results
by
$
64.45
per
hour
to
generate
a
cost
estimate.
EPA
has
based
the
estimates
for
burden
associated
with
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
and
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
on
the
original
OMB
approved
ICR,
taking
into
account
the
reduced

from
deleted
questions.

(

was
156
hours
and
the
average
burden
of
the
original
approved
Industry
Short

was
10
hours.
Since
only
a
portion
of
the
original
Detailed
Industry

was
used
to
develop
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire,
EPA
has
significantly
reduced
the
amount
of
data
requested
in
the
questionnaire.
Therefore,
EPA
has
concurrently
lowered
the
burden
estimate
to
56
hours
for
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
and
to
45
hours
for
OCOGEFs.
Additionally,
EPA
deleted
some
questions
in
the
original
approved
Industry
Short
Technical
Questionnaire,
reducing
the
estimated
burden
required
to
complete
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
to
8
hours
for
both
the
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
and
OCOGEFs.

Operation

are
estimated
based
on
the

In
developing
the

for
this
one­

data
collection
activity,
EPA
assumed
that
the
activities
associated
with
the
follow­
up
activities
and

would
require
the
efforts
of
one
Agency
employee
with
an

at
a
rate
of
approximately
$
35.84

for
one

(

The
average
hourly
rate
is
based
on
hourly

found
in
the
Office

To

will
consist
of
contacting,

for
the
collection
of

is
45
hours
per

The
burden
is
less
than
that
estimated
for
the
original
approved
ICR
for
these
industries
because
EPA
has
other
sources
of

Survey
Objectives,
Key
Variables,
and
Other
Preliminaries
1(
a)
Survey
Objectives
Land­
based
industries
were
surveyed
in
1999.
EPA
considers
that
portion
of
the
survey
and
information
collection
substantially
complete,
with
the
exceptions
described
in
Part
A
(
missing
data
follow­
up
and
data
corrections;
requests
for
Section
316(
b)
studies).

The
principal
subject
of
this
ICR
revision
and
the
sole
subject
of
Part
B
is
cooling
water
intakes
for
Offshore
and
Coastal
Oil
and
Gas
Extraction
Facilities
(
OCOGEFs)
and
cooling
water
intakes
for
Seafood
Processing
Vessels.
During
Phase
I
rulemaking,
these
cooling
water
intakes
were
identified
as
being
categorically
distinct
from
the
land­
based
cooling
water
intakes
subject
to
the
Phase
I
rule.
EPA
intends
to
survey
these
facilities
and
vessels
to
obtain
information
essential
to
establishing
the
need
for
regulations
and
to
develop,
as
necessary,

proposed
regulations
under
Section
316(
b).
The
objective
of
the
present
questionnaire
survey
is
to
characterize
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
for
these
facilities
and
vessels,
and
to
assess
the
financial
status
of
firms
potentially
affected
by
any
Section
316(
b)
Phase
III
proposed
regulation,
and
to
identify
existing
Section
316(
b)
studies
addressing
potential
for
adverse
environmental
impacts
pertinent
to
these
vessels
and
facilities.

1(
b)
Key
Variables
For
a
discussion
of
key
variables,
please
refer
to
Part
A,
Section
4(
b)
of
this
ICR,
and
to
the
Questionnaires.

Statistical
Approach
Information
Collection
Request
Part
B
of
the
Supporting
Statement
March
18,
2003
48
This
information
collection
will
be
approached
by
obtaining
information
from
the
appropriate
number
of
facilities/
vessels
and
firms
that
will
support
reasonably
accurate
and
precise
national
estimates,
which
represents
no
change
from
the
approach
described
originally.

For
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
and
their
owner
firms,
the
appropriate
number
is
close
enough
to
the
population
of
firms
that
a
census
or
a
sample
of
nearly
all
firms
is
desirable.
The
same
approach
was
used
when
collecting
information
from
other
industrial
sectors
in
1999
­
all
utility
and
non­
utility
facilities
received
either
a
detailed
or
a
short
technical
questionnaire,
and
all
manufacturing
facilities
received
a
detailed
technical
questionnaire
because
fewer
than
100
in­
scope
facilities
were
identified
in
each
sector
by
the
screener
survey.

EPA
has
identified
156
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
with
NPDES
permits.
EPA
intends
to
issue
to
each
of
these
vessels
(
a)
an
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
and
(
b)
an
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire.

For
OCOGEFs,
a
sample
survey
is
warranted
because
the
number
of
facilities
is
in
the
thousands
and
the
number
of
owner
firms
is
in
the
hundreds.
For
mobile
offshore
drilling
units
(
MODUs),
EPA
will
rely
largely
on
industry­
supplied
technical
data
and
will
conduct
a
detailed
survey
only
for
financial
data.
The
International
Association
of
Drilling
Contractors
(
IADC)
has
provided
EPA
with
technical
data
for
about
140
mobile
offshore
drilling
rigs
in
the
form
of
answers
to
a
short
questionnaire
devised
and
circulated
by
IADC.
The
Western
States
Petroleum
Association
has
provided
technical
information
to
EPA
for
18
fixed
platforms
offshore
of
California.
Shell
Exploration
and
Production
Co.
has
provided
EPA
with
information
on
10
fixed
platforms
in
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.
Six
other
firms
will
provide
EPA
with
information
about
Alaskan
platforms.

However,
while
the
industry
supplied
data
is
suitable
for
technical
analysis,
it
does
not
provide
the
statistically­
based
sample
needed
to
characterize
the
population
of
rigs
(
e.
g.,
it
cannot
accurately
answer
the
question,
how
many
rigs
of
type
X
exist
in
the
population).
A
Information

Part

statistically
designed
sample
survey
is
necessary
to
achieve
that
objective
and
in
particular
to
ensure
that
the
resulting
inferences
are
as
accurate
and
as
precise
as
is
practicable.
This
is
necessary
so
that
technical
options
and
cost
information
for
specific
types
of
MODUs
and
platforms
can
be
accurately
extrapolated
to
the
population.

Therefore,
for
OCOGEFs,
EPA
intends
to
issue
up
to
250
Industry
Technical
Questionnaires
with
questions
similar
to
those
in
a
short
survey
devised
by
the
IADC.
These
will
be
needed
to
obtain
very
basic
characteristics
for
the
population
needed
to
extrapolate
technical
analyses
and
cost
estimates
to
the
population
of
facilities
(
fixed
platforms
and
MODUs).
EPA
does
not
intend
to
request
technical
data
for
OCOGEFs
where
that
information
duplicates
the
information
already
available.

The
industry
and
public
sources
of
financial
data
are
not
sufficient
to
support
the
necessary
economic
analyses
required
of
EPA.
For
the
OCOGEFs,
EPA
intends
to
issue
up
to
200
financial
surveys
to
firms
that
are
(
a)
owners
of
drilling
rigs,
and
(
b)
lessees.
To
characterize
this
large
and
diverse
population,
EPA
considers
this
number
of
surveys
to
be
barely
sufficient
for
achieving
reasonable
accuracy
and
precision.

The
survey
activities
will
be
conducted
by
three
EPA

Survey
Design
As
noted
above,
EPA
intends
to
census
the
NPDES­
permitted
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
because
of
the
small
number
involved.
For
the
sample
survey
portion
of
this
information
collection
(
OCOGEFs),
a
stratified
random
sampling
design
will
be
used
.
The
purposes
of
stratification
are
to
(
a)
to
improve
the
precision
of
survey
results
for
a
fixed
number
of
questionnaires,
and
(
b)
to
insure
adequate
coverage
of
small
classes
of
facilities
and
owners
that
merit
thorough
characterization
(
classes
being
defined
in
terms
of
technological
and
economic
attributes).

An
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
modeled
after
the
IADC
questionnaire
will
be
distributed
to
250
OCOGEFs
using
a
stratified
random
design.
Samples
will
be
stratified
using
a
number
of
variables
related
to
costs
of
regulatory
options.
Increasing
the
precision
through
stratification
depends
on
identifying
strata
that
correspond
to
different
levels
of
cooling
water
intake
flow
and
technology­
option
costs
and
different
sets
of
feasible
cooling
water
intake
technologies.
Strata
are
tentatively
identified
as
MODUs,
fixed
platforms,
OCS
vs.
state
waters,

and
Offshore
vs.
Coastal
categories.
It
may
be
decided
that
water
depth
or
distance
from
shore
should
also
be
used
for
stratification.
The
life­
cycle
stages
of
operation
would
be
desirable
stratification
variables
(
exploratory
drilling,
developmental
drilling,
early,
middle
and
late
stages
of
extraction),
but
at
this
time
EPA
has
not
identified
a
comprehensive
source
of
such
data.

Section

of

provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or

of
the
CWA
and
applicable
to
a

source
require
that
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflect
the
best
technology
available
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.

(

contain,
as
a
subpopulation,
facilities
to
be
covered
by
a
Section
316(
b)
rule.

EPA
has
identified
156
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
using
the
sources
and
methods
described
in
Part
A.
This
target
population
represents
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
that
are
required
to
have
NPDES
permits.
EPA
believes
that
this
target
population
is
well
characterized
because
the
industry
is
small
and
highly
regulated
and
because
a
number
of
overlapping
data
sources
inventory
the
vessels.
The
vessel
types
and
functions
are
also
distinct,
and
the
target
population
therefore
appropriately
targets
vessels
usually
subject
to
NPDES
permits
because
of
the
discharge
of
seafood
processing
wastes.

The
target
population
of
OCOGEFs
consists
of
MODUs
and
fixed
platforms
requiring
NPDES
permits.
EPA
has
identified
about
220
MODUs
operating
in
Offshore
waters
under
Federal
jurisdiction,
and
about
50
drilling
barges
that
may
operate
in
Coastal
or
Offshore
State
waters.
EPA
estimates
(
based
on
data
sources
in
Attachment
8)
there
may
be
150­
200
fixed
platforms
in
State
Offshore
waters,
and
the
number
in
State
Coastal
waters
may
be
25­
100.
EPA
estimates
the
number
of
fixed
platforms
potentially
subject
to
a
Section
316(
b)
rule
in
Offshore
Federal
waters
may
be
2400­
3600.
Because
of
differences
in
technology,
operations,
cooling
water
requirements,
and
economic
factors,
EPA
anticipates
the
need
to
evaluate
as
distinct
subpopulations
a
number
of
different
types
of
MODUs
and
platforms,
and
areas
of
operation
(
Offshore
and
Coastal
waters,
deep
(>
1000ft)
vs.

1.
Sampling
Design
for
OCOGEFs
For
OCOGEFs,
a
sample
survey
will
be
conducted
because
the
numbers
of
production
facilities
and
owner
firms
are
in
the
thousands
and
hundreds,
respectively.
A
statistically
designed,
stratified
random
sampling
design
is
necessary
to
achieve
EPA's
objectives,
in
particular
to
ensure
that
inferences
are
as
accurate
and
as
precise
as
is
practicable.

Technical
information.
EPA
has
substantially
complete
information
identifying
the
MODUs
in
use
offshore,
and
has
technical
data
provided
by
IADC
for
about
140
of
these.
Thus
there
is
no
need
to
acquire
more
technical
data
on
MODUs,
although
there
is
still
a
need
to
characterize
the
full
population
of
MODU
types,
technologies
and
equipment.
EPA
does
not
have
technical
data
adequate
for
analysis
of
the
population
of
platforms
in
Coastal
and
Offshore
waters.
A
statistically­
based
sample
is
needed
to
technically
characterize
the
population
of
platforms
(
e.
g.,
to
answer
the
question,
"
how
many
platforms
rigs
of
type
X
and
with
option
cost
Y
exist
in
the
population?").

Financial
&
economic
information.
EPA
does
not
possess,
and
cannot
obtain
from
public
sources,
the
financial
data
necessary
to
support
the
economic
analyses
required
of
EPA.
For
the
OCOGEFs,
EPA
intends
to
issue
up
to
200
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
surveys
to
firms
that
are
(
a)
owners
of
drilling
rigs,
and
(
b)
lessees.
To
characterize
both
operators
and
lessees,

EPA
considers
this
number
of
surveys
to
be
barely
sufficient
for
achieving
reasonable
accuracy
and
precision.

A
stratified
random
sampling
design
will
be
used
.
The
purposes
of
stratification
are
to
(
a)
to
improve
the
precision
of
survey
results
for
a
fixed
number
of

Stratification
will
employ

of
variables
related
to
costs
of

EPA
has
not
decided
on
the
choice
of
strata
and
will
be
consulting
with
industry
regarding
stratification.
Increasing
the

identifying
strata
that
correspond
to
different
levels
of

Sampling
Design
for
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
A
census
will
be
made
of
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
and
their
owner
firms.
The
appropriate
number
for
a
sample
(
below)
is
close
enough
to
the
population
of
firms
that
a
census
rather
than
a
sample
is
desirable.
A
census
will
better
characterize
the
economic
and
financial
impacts
and
the
number
of
small
businesses.
Most
of
the
owner
firms
are
believed
to
be
private
(
no
public
financial
information
is
available)
and
the
number
of
small
businesses
is
undetermined.
The
same
approach
was
used
when
collecting
information
from
other
industrial
sectors
­
all
manufacturing
facilities
received
detailed
questionnaires
because
fewer
than
100
inscope
facilities
were
identified
in
each
sector
by
the
screener
survey.

was
based
upon
the

sources
(

and
Part

(
a)
the
Permit

where
seafood

are
required
to
file
with
Alaska
Department
of

a
notice
of
intent
to
operate,
and
where
the
Department
of
Environmental

(
Division
of
Environmental
Health)
maintains
lists
of
approved
permits
for
land­
based

Sample
Sizes
and
Their
Allocation
Required
sample
sizes
are
based
upon
precision
targets
summarized
below
(
Section
2(

Precision
and
Sample
Size
Requirements)
and
upon
the
need
to
understand
costs,
benefits,
and
financial
impacts
comprehensively
in
the
industry
subcategories.
These
considerations
require
issuing
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
to
a
sample
of
not
more
than
200
firms
(
MODU
and
platform
owners;
lessees)
in
the
Oil
&
Gas
Extraction
category
and
156
firms
in
the
Seafood
Processing
category.
To
adequately
characterize
the
technical
characteristics
and
to
estimate
costs
of
regulatory
options,
EPA
anticipates
that
it
must
issue
the
Industry

to
approximately
406

Stratification
Variables
The
purposes
of
stratification
are
to
(
a)
to
improve
the
precision
of
survey
results
for
a
fixed
number
of
questionnaires,
and
(
b)
to
insure
adequate

of
small
classes
of
facilities
and
owners
that
merit
thorough
characterization
(
classes
being
defined
in
terms
of
technological
and
economic
attributes).

A
stratified
random
sampling
design
will
be
used
for
sampling
OCOGEFs,
and
lessees.

The
methodology
will
be
the
same
as
used
for
the
1999
survey
of
industrial
subcategories,
with
necessary
changes
in
the
variables
defining
strata
(
appropriate
to
Offshore
and
Coastal
Oil
&

Gas).
Stratification
will
employ
a
number
of
variables
related
to
costs
of
regulatory
options.

Increasing
the
precision
through
stratification
depends
on
identifying
strata
that
correspond
to
different
levels
of
cooling
water
intake
flow
and
technology­
option
costs
and
different
sets
of
feasible
cooling
water
intake
technologies.
Strata
are
tentatively
identified
as
MODUs,
fixed
platforms,
OCS
vs.

waters,
and
Offshore
vs.
Coastal
categories,
and
deep

It
may
be

that
water
depth
or

should
also
be

Precision
Targets
and
Sample
Size
Requirements
This
section
uses
the
same
principles
&
approach
as
used
in
this
section
of
the
original
ICR
submittal.

EPA
has
considered
the
number
of
surveys
needed
to
achieve
two
precision
targets,
one
for
a
proportion
of
entities
(
facilities
or
firms),
the
other
for
the
coefficient
of
variation
(
CV*)
of
numerical
estimates
like
average
revenues
and
total
cooling
water
flow.
[*
The
CV
is
the
ratio
of
standard
deviation
to
mean].
The
precision
targets
(
objectives)
considered
were:

Objective
1:
an
estimated
population
proportion
will
have
a
95
percent
confidence
interval
of
about
±
0.05
Assumption:
the
true
population
proportion
is
0.20
(
20%
of
the
population)

Objective
2:
an
estimated
population
mean
or
total
will
have
a
coefficient
of
variation
of
about
0.05
Information
Collection
Request
Part

of
the

Assumption:
the
true
population
CV
for
the
individual
quantities
(
like
revenue
or
flow)

being
averaged
or
summed
is
1.0
The
assumptions
are
based
upon
information
from
the
industrial
surveys
made
in
1999,

but
they
are
of
course
unknown
for
the
OCOGEFs
and
thus
are
subject
to
considerable
uncertainty.

The
sample
sizes
selected
(
156
Industry
Economic
Questionnaires
to
Seafood
Processing
Vessels,
200
for
OCOGEFs;
156
Industry
Technical
Questionnaires
for
Seafood
Processing
Vessels,
250
for
OCOGEFs)
were
chosen
to
provide
a
reasonable
chance
of
meeting
these
precision
targets
without
imposing
an
undue
burden.
EPA
selected
sample
sizes
for
the
number
of
firms
to
receive
an
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire.
An
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
would
be
requested
for
all
in­
scope
facilities
(
vessels,
platforms)
owned
by
these
firms.

These
precision
objectives
apply
separately
to
each
of
the
two
major
industrial
categories
under
discussion,
because
there
is
need
to
determine
values
specific
to
each
category.
The
precision
targets
apply
to
estimates
for
the
entire
population
within
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels,
respectively;
estimates
for
subcategories
will
necessarily
be
less
precise.

Tables
B2
and
B3
below
illustrate
theoretical
calculations
of
the
sample
sizes
needed
to
achieve
the
desired
precision
targets
using
different
assumptions
about
the
true
(
but
unknown)

value
of
the
population
proportion
to
be
estimated
and
the
value
of
the
coefficient
of
variation
for
individual
quantities
like
flow
or
revenue.
These
tables
apply
to
any
population
subject
to
simple
random
sampling
(
somewhat
better
precision
might
be
achieved
by
the
stratified
sampling
plan
that
EPA
will
employ).
Table
B4
below
summarized
for
each
population
the
sample
sizes
needed
for
various
precision
targets
and
the
sample
size
chosen.

EPA
also
considered
precision
targets
and
sample
sizes
for
the
number
of
owner
firms,

based
on
Agency
SBREFA
guidance.
A
SBREFA
analysis
considers
the
number
and
percent
of
small
firms
experiencing
a
specified
regulatory
cost
burden
(
1%,
3%,

It
is
important
to
note
that
such
errors
have
not
been
(
apparently,
could
not
be)

quantified
in
past
effluent
guideline
development
efforts.
Thus,
only
sampling
error
has
been
estimated
and
reported
in
the
record
for
past
guidelines.
This
continues
to
apply
to
the
present
Section
316(
b)
effort.

Nonresponse
is
relatively
low
for
questionnaires
sent
under
the
authority
of
Section
308
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.
EPA
will
employ
several
measures
to
reduce
nonresponses.
The
cover
letter
and
instructions
for
the
questionnaires
will
explain
the
legal
authority,
responsibility
to
respond,
reasons
for
the
survey,
and
penalty
for
nonresponse.
Delivery
or
nondelivery
of
the
questionnaires
will
be
tracked
using
certified
mail.
A
help
line
will
be
operated
while
the
questionnaires
are
in
the
field
so
that
technical,
financial
and
administrative
questions
regarding
the
survey
can
be
addressed.
Recipients
not
responding
by
the
questionnaire
deadline
date
may
be
telephoned
to
encourage
response,
to
answer
questions,
and
to
determine
the
reasons
for
the
nonresponse.

Inaccurate
or
incomplete
responses
can
occur
due
to
misunderstandings
or
the
misinterpretation
of
questions
and
the
unintentional
skipping
of
questions
by
respondents.

Errors
can
occur
when
responses
are
coded,
edited
and
entered
into
the
database.
The
design
and
implementation
of
the
detailed
questionnaires
will
employ
a
number
of
quality
assurance
techniques
to
reduce
the
frequency
of
such
errors.
These
techniques
include
the
following:

C
Review
of
questions
for
ambiguity
and
clarity
C
Use
of

Questionnaire
Design
The
revised
Questionnaires
have
been
designed
to
group
requests
for
related
technical
data
into
matrices.
The
purpose
of
the
matrices
is
to
help
respondents
see
the
relationship
of
some
of
the
information
being
requested
that
might
otherwise
be
overlooked
if
it
were
requested
in
a
linear
format.
Generally,
the
matrices
request
respondents
to
categorize
aspects
of
the
design
or
operation
of
their
facility
by
checking
applicable
pre­
coded
responses.
EPA
has
conducted
substantial
background
research
prior
to
the
development
of
these
questionnaires
that
suggests
that
the
precoded
responses
are
appropriate.
Moreover,
results
of
the
pretest
described
earlier
and
below
support
these
categorizations.
Finally,
where
actual
numeric
data
are
requested
(
e.
g.,
intake
flow
rates),
responses
are
requested
on
a
fill­
in­
the­
blank
basis.
Where
possible,
close­
ended
questions
have
been
used,
to
reduce
the
burden
to
the
respondents
and
to
aid
in
eliminating
misinterpretation
of
the
responses.
Where
appropriate,
EPA
allows
elaboration
of
a
facility's
unique
circumstances
under
the
"
Other"
response
option.

To
further
aid
respondents
in
completing
the
questionnaires,
key
terms
have
been
highlighted
in
the
questions,
and
definitions
have
been
provided
at
the
point
of
first
reference.

Finally,
glossaries
are
also
provided
with
the
questionnaires.

The
original
questionnaires
(
EPA
ICR
No.
1838.01,
OMB
#
2040­
0213)
from
which
The
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
and
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
were
derived
were
approved
for
the
original
collection
request.
They
were
pre­
tested
and
have
been
applied
successfully
to
a
large
survey
of
multiple
industrial
sectors.
The
revision
of
the
original
ICR
is
needed
to
investigate
marine
vessels
and
platforms
with
cooling
water
intakes
that
differ
fundamentally
from
those
on
land­
based
facilities,
as
described
in
a
comment
to
the
Phase
I
rulemaking
proposal.
Thus,
it
was
necessary
to
modify
the
original
questionnaires
to
be
appropriate
to
these
types
of
facilities
and
intakes.

EPA
has
modified
the
original
short
technical
questionnaire
to
be
appropriate
to
OCOGEFs
and
to
Seafood
Processing
Vessels.
In
making
these
modifications,
EPA
followed
the
structure
and
the
questions
of
the
previously
approved
industry
short
technical
questionnaire.

Terms
and
definitions
were
changed
as
necessary,
and
EPA
eliminated
questions
and
items
that
would
not
apply
to
vessels,
MODUs,
or
platforms.
Each
question
in
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
has
a
parallel
in
the
previously
approved
industry
short
technical
questionnaire,

and
therefore
has
a
necessary
purpose
that
was
previously
reviewed
and
approved.
The
revised
Industry
Technical
Questionnaires
have
fewer
response
items
and
are
less
burdensome
than
the
original
industry
short
technical
questionnaire.

For
the
OCOGEF
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire,
questions
have
been
modified
to
be
appropriate
to
MODUs
and
fixed
platforms,
based
upon
questions
in
the
industry
survey
developed
by
IADC
and
based
upon
industry
comments
on
the
Phase
I
rulemaking
proposal.

EPA
has
examined
the
data
from
IADC's
survey
of
MODUs
and
found
the
questions
and
response
data
to
be
suitable.
EPA
therefore
considers
these
survey
questions
to
have
been
tested.

In
revising
the
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
for
Seafood
Processing
Vessels,
EPA
utilized
extensive
comments
by
the
National
Food
Processors
Association
received
in
response
to
EPA's
notice
of
intent
to
extend
the
ICR
(
67
FR
76400,
December
12,
2002).
EPA
modified
the
industry
short
technical
questionnaire
to
be
appropriate
to
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
and
their
operation,
adopting
all
of
the
general
and
specific
suggestions
from
NFPA.
These
Information
Collection
Request
Part
B
of
the

Statement

suggestions
were
found
to
agree
with
information
from
industry
and
government
(
e.
g.,
At­
Sea
Processors
Association
and
the
National
Marine
Fisheries
Service)
reports
and
web
pages.

Terminology
for
cooling
water
intakes
in
vessels
was
based
on
IADC
comments
on
MODUs
and
telephone
interviews
with
persons
experienced
with
Seafood
Processing
Vessels.
For
these
reasons,
EPA
believes
that
the
questions
in
the
Seafood
Processing
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
are
appropriate
and
technically
correct.

As
for
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire,
EPA
followed
the
structure
of
the
previously­
approved
industry
detailed
questionnaire
(
the
financial/
economic
section)
and
modified
it
to
be
appropriate
to
the
OCOGEFs
and
the
Seafood
Processing
Vessels.
EPA
and
its
contractors
have
experience
with
financial
and
economic
analysis
for
the
Oil
&
Gas
industry,

having
conducted
and
reported
these
analyses
for
the
Synthetic­
Based
Drilling
Fluids
rule
(
2001)

and
rules
for
discharges
in
the
Coastal
(
1996)
and
Offshore
(
1993)
Oil
&
Gas
subcategories.

However,
these
previous
analyses
do
not
provide
the
data
necessary
to
characterize
the
current
economic
status
of
the
industry
and
the
economic
consequences
of
new
requirements
for
cooling
water
intake
structures
on
MODUs
and
platforms.

3.
Pretests
and
Pilot
Tests
No
pretests
or
pilot
tests
were
conducted
on
the
revised
surveys,
because
they
are
similar
to
the
original
approved
questionnaires
in
organization
and
content.
The
questions
in
the
OCOGEF
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
were
pretested
in
a
survey
conducted
by
IADC,
and
EPA
concluded,
after
reviewing
the
survey
responses,
that
the
questions
were
successful
in
eliciting
the
appropriate
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
I.
General
Information
A.
Affected
Entities
Entities
potentially
affected
by
this
action
are
those
existing
facilities
that
use
cooling
water
intake
structures
to
withdraw
water
from
waters
of
the
U.
S.
for
cooling
purposes
and
that
have
or
are
required
to
have
a
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permit
issued
under
section
402
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
CWA).

In
addition
to
the
entities
identified
in
the
new
facility
rule,
see
66
FR
65256
and
65257,
this
action
may
affect
existing
and
new
Offshore
and
Coastal
Oil
and
Gas
Extraction
Facilities,
and
existing
and
new
Offshore
Seafood
Processors
because
EPA
did
not
survey
these
industry
categories
during
the
original
information
collection
effort.
In
addition,
EPA
may
contact
approximately
25
Phase
III
facilities

Electric
Utilities,
Nonutility
Power
Producers,

Paper
and
Allied
Products;
Chemical
and
Allied
Products;
Petroleum
and
Coal
Products;
Primary
Metals)
because
they
did
not
fully
answer
the
survey
questions
or
because
their
responses
were
unclear
and
require
additional
inquiry.

Abstract
EPA
is
developing
regulations
implementing
section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA,
33
U.
S.
C.
1326(
b)
pursuant
to
a
Consent
Decree
in
Riverkeeper
v.

Whitman
[
93
civ.

(
AGS)]

entered
on
October
10,
1995,
which
was
subsequently
amended
on
November
22,
2002,
and
again
on
November
25,

2002.
Under
the
first
amended
consent
decree,
EPA
proposed
  
Phase
I''

regulations
for
cooling
water
intake
structures
at
certain
new
industrial
facilities
on
July
20,
2000,
took
final
action
on
the
Phase
I
regulations
on
November
9,
2001,
and
proposed
  
Phase
II''

regulations
for
approximately
550
existing
electric
power
generating
plants
on
February
28,
2002.
Under
the
terms
of
the
second
amended
consent
decree,
must
take
final
action
on
the
Phase
II
regulations
by
no
later
than
February
16,
2004.
Under
the
Second
Amended
Consent
Decree,
EPA
must
also
propose
  
Phase
III''
regulations
by
November
1,

2004
and
take
final
action
on
these
regulations
by
June
1,
2006.
The
Phase
III
regulations
must,
at
a
minimum,
address
existing
utility
and
non­
utility
power
producers
not
covered
by
the
Phase
II
Regulations;

and
other
industrial
facilities
that
employ
cooling
water
intake
structures.

In
accordance
with
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
(  
PRA'')
(
44
U.
S.
C.

3501,
et
seq.),
this
notice
announces
that
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA
or
the
  
Agency'')
plans
to
submit
a
request
for
a
three­
year
extension
of
the
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)

entitled,
  
Industry
Detailed
Questionnaire:
Phase
III
Cooling
Water
Intake
Structures
(
EPA
ICR
No.
1838.01,
OMB
#
2040­
0213)''
to
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
for
review
and
approval.
Note
that
the
Agency
is
substituting
the
term
  
Phase
III''
for
  
Phase
II''

to
correspond
to
the
structure
of
the
rulemaking.
EPA
plans
to
request
OMB
approval
to
extend
the
survey
for
facilities
potentially
subject
to
Phase
III
of
the
cooling
water
intake
structure
rulemaking
effort.
The
offshore
and
coastal
oil
and
gas
extraction
facilities
and
offshore
seafood
processing
facilities
would
be
most
likely
affected
by
extension
of
the
data
collection
effort
because
EPA
did
not
survey
these
industries
during
the
original
information
collection
request
effort.
EPA
did
not
survey
these
industries
because,
at
the
time,
EPA
was
not
aware
that
these
facilities
used
cooling
water
in
volumes
potentially
subject
to
regulation
under
section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA.

Information
provided
in
public
comments
on
EPA's
  
Phase
I''
regulatory
proposal
for
new
power
plants
and
industrial
facilities
made
EPA
aware
of
the
use
of
cooling
water
by
these
facilities
and
prompted
EPA
to
defer
consideration
of
these
categories
until
the
Phase
III
rule.

The
Offshore
and
Coastal
Oil
and
Gas
Extraction
category
contains
a
large
number
of
facilities
and
it
presents
unique
engineering,
cost,

and
economic
issues
associated
with
drilling
rigs,
ships,
and
platforms.
EPA
has
acquired
current
industry
surveys
and
commercial
databases
that
identify
offshore
and
coastal
oil
and
gas
extraction
facilities
in
the
Gulf
of
Alaska,
California,
and
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.

Preliminary
information
indicates
that
there
are
about
200
offshore
oil
and
gas
platforms
and
mobile
drilling
units
that
are
potentially
subject
to
the
Phase
III
regulation.
Approximately
100
businesses
own
these
platforms
and
mobile
drilling
units.
Through
these
sources,
EPA
has
obtained
sufficient
current
technical
data
on
offshore
and
coastal
oil
and
gas
extraction
facilities
and
does
not
intend
to
collect
additional
technical
data
through
the
Detailed
Industry
Survey.

However,
EPA
does
not
have
current
economic
and
financial
data
on
these
facilities
and
intends
to
send
selected
sections
of
the
detailed
questionnaire
that
cover
scope
and
economic
data
to
offshore
and
coastal
oil
and
gas
extraction
firms.

The
offshore
seafood
processing
industry
also
proposes
some
unique
regulatory
issues.
EPA
has
begun
to
collect
publicly
available
information
on
seafood
processing
vessels
to
identify
uses
and
volumes
of
cooling
water,
numbers
of
facilities,
where
they
are
located,
and
how
many
of
them
are
small
businesses.
Data
collected
to
date
confirm
that
seafood
processing
plants
(
floating
vessels
or
on­
board
factory
trawlers)
use
cooling
water
mainly
for
cooling
of
diesel
engines
and
generators
and
equipment
during
desalinization
processes
(
condensation
of
steam).
Data
also
indicate
that
these
vessels
withdraw
volumes
of
cooling
water
that
may
make
them
potentially
subject
to
regulation
under
section
316(
b).
EPA
does
not
have
sufficient
current
technical
data
on
the
offshore
seafood
processing
industry
to
determine
the
impact
the
Phase
III
rule
would
have
on
the
industry.
Therefore,
EPA
proposes
to
collect
additional
technical,
economic
and
financial
data
on
seafood
processing
plants
(
floating
vessels
or
on­
board
factory
trawlers).
First,
EPA
intends
to
send
the
Industry
Short
Technical
Questionnaire
to
all
the
known
offshore
seafood
processing
facilities
to
determine
which
ones
would
potentially
be
affected
by
the
Phase
III
rule.
To
reduce
burden,
EPA
proposes
to
delete
some
of
the
questions
in
section
3
(
Design
and
Operational
Data
for
cooling
Water
Intake
Structures
and
Cooling
Water
Systems)
that
do
not
apply
to
this
industry.
EPA
then
intends
to
send
the
Detailed
Industry
Questionnaire
to
a
subset
of
potentially
affected
facilities.
To
reduce
burden,
EPA
proposes
to
delete
most
of
the
questions
in
part
2
(
Technical
Data).

Deleted
questions
are
identified
in
the
revised
ICR
supporting
document.
EPA
plans
to
use
the
information
collected
from
the
detailed
questionnaire
to
assess
the
potential
economic
impacts
of
Phase
III
regulations
on
potentially
affected
facilities.
The
survey
would
also
collect
economic
data
on
facility
ownership,
major
production
activities,
markets
and
finances.
The
Agency
will
use
this
information
to
assess
facility­
level
and
firm­
level
impacts
of
complying
with
the
proposed
Phase
III
cooling
water
intake
structure
regulations
as
appropriate
under
CWA
section
316(
b).
The
economic
data
will
also
enable
EPA
to
carry
out
required
analyses,
including
a
Regulatory
Impact
Analysis
(
RIA),
a
cost/
benefit
analysis,
and
a
small
business
analysis.

EPA's
authority
to
collect
this
information
is
fully
discussed
in
the
ICR
supporting
document.
In
summary,
section
308
of
the
CWA
authorizes
EPA
to
collect
technical,
biological
and
financial
data
to
support
the
rulemaking
process.
The
ICR
for
the
Industry
Detailed
Questionnaire:
Phase
III
Cooling
Water
Intake
Structures
matches
the
purpose
authorized
under
section
308,
therefore
responses
to
the
detailed
questionnaire
are
mandatory.
In
accordance
with
40
CFR
part
2,

subpart
B,
Sec.
2.203,
the
survey
will
inform
respondents
of
their
right
to
claim
information
as
confidential.
The
survey
provides
instructions
on
the
procedures
for
making
Confidential
Business
Information
(
CBI)
claims,
and
the
respondents
also
will
be
informed
of
the
terms
and
rules
governing
protection
of
CBI
obtained
under
the
CWA.

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
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15.
The
Federal
Register
document
required
under
5
CFR
1320.8(
d),
soliciting
comments
on
this
collection
of
information
was
published
on
January
26,
1998
(
63
FR
3738);
363
comments
were
received.
Based
on
these
comments
and
the
pretest
results,
EPA
significantly
modified
the
questionnaire.

IV.
Burden
Statement
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
the
detailed
questionnaire
is
estimated
to
be
about
45
hours
per
response
for
offshore
oil
and
gas
extraction
facilities.
The
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
offshore
seafood
processing
facilities
would
be
8
hours
per
response
on
the
Industry
Short
Technical
Questionnaire,
and
56
hours
per
response
on
the
Detailed
Industry
Questionnaire.
These
estimates
are
based
upon
estimates
in
the
OMB
approved
ICR,
taking
into
account
the
reduced
burden
from
deleted
questions.
The
respondent
burden
in
the
original
approved
ICR
was
128,736
hours
and
the
non­
labor
cost
was
$
13,635.
The
total
burden
associated
with
this
extension
is
articulated
below
and
reflects
the
changes
in
applicable
respondents
described
in
section
III
of
this
notice:

technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and

Why
This
Questionnaire?

The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
currently
developing
regulations
to
be
processed
under
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act,
33
U.
S.
C.
Section
1326(
b).
Section
316(
b)
provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or
306
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
CWA)
and
applicable
to
a
point
source
requires
that
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflects
the
best
technology
available
(
BTA)
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.

Answers
to
the
enclosed
technical
questionnaire
will
help
EPA
better
understand
the
design
and
operation
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
at
industrial
facilities
that
are
subject
to
Section
316(
b).
Data
from
this
detailed
questionnaire
are
not
intended
to
identify
whether
a
specific
facility's
cooling
water
intake
structures
are
having
an
adverse
environmental
impact.
Moreover,
questionnaire
responses
are
not
intended
to
identify
whether
a
specific
facility
is
employing
BTA
with
respect
to
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impacts
from
cooling
water
intake
structures,
though
they
may
help
EPA
determine
BTA
options
for
various
classes
of
facilities.
The
questionnaires
are
simply
tools
for
characterizing
some
of
the
following:
type
and
nature
of
facilities
using
cooling
water,
specific
uses
of
cooling
water,
design
and
configuration
of
cooling
water
systems
and
cooling
water
intake
structures,
types
of
technologies
being
used
at
intake
structures,
and
whether
facilities
have
previously
evaluated
the
environmental
impacts
of
their
cooling
water
intake
structures.
Data
from
the
questionnaires
will
be
factored
into
ongoing
research
being
conducted
by
EPA
that
is
more
specifically
designed
to
determine
the
nature
of
adverse
impacts
and
the
types
of
control
technologies
that
might
minimize
such
impacts.
All
of
EPA's
research
efforts
will
feed
the
development
of
regulatory
options,
some
of
which
will
subsequently
be
fashioned
into
a
proposed
rulemaking
that
will
be
put
forth
for
public
review
and
comment.

Please
note
that
it
is
not
the
intent
of
EPA
to
require
facility
personnel
to
go
to
unusual
lengths
to
retrieve
information
to
respond
to
this
questionnaire.
Responses
should
be
based
on
data
that
can
be
accessed
from
plant
records
with
reasonable
diligence.

The
enclosed
plant­
level
questionnaire
consists
of
three
parts.
Part
1
requests
general
plant
information,
such
as
plant
name,
location,
operating
status,
Standard
Industrial
Classification
(
SIC)
codes,
and
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permit
status.
In
addition,
this
part
screens
plants
from
the
survey
that
may
not
use
cooling
water
for
contact
or
noncontact
cooling
purposes
or
are
not
directly
withdrawing
cooling
water
from
surface
water
and,
thus,
are
not
subject
to
Section
316(
b).

Part
2
requests
plant­
level
technical
data.
Section
A
requests
profile
information
on
the
plant's
cooling
water
systems,
cooling
water
intake
structures,
cooling
water
discharge
outfalls,
and
the
plant's
water
balance
diagram.
Section
A
first
requests
basic
design
and
operational
data
for
each
of
the
plant's
cooling
water
systems
that
are
presently
operating,
temporarily
offline,
or
planned
or
under
construction.
General
profile
data
are
then
requested
for
the
plant's
intake
structures
that
directly
withdraw
cooling
water
from
surface
water.
The
type
of
data
requested
for
the
cooling
water
structures
includes

Section
A
requests
some
very
basic
data
on
cooling
water
discharge
outfalls,
such
as
plant­
designated
names
or
numbers
and
latitudes
and
longitudes
at
the
point
of
each
discharge
outfall.
The
information
from
this
section
will
be
related
to
other
data
requested
throughout
the
questionnaire
to
give
EPA
an
understanding
of
the
plant's
general
design
and
use
of
cooling
water.
Finally,
a
water
balance
diagram
is
requested
to
provide
EPA
with
an
understanding
of
how
cooling
water
use
and
discharge
practices
relate
to
the
plant's
general
water
use
practices.
The
diagrams
will
be
used
to
analyze
other
data
requested
throughout
the
survey.

Section
B
requests
information
on
the
type
of
surface
water
sources
being
used
by
plants
to
provide
cooling
water.
The
configuration
of
the
plant's
intake
structures
is
requested,
such
as
whether
intake
canals/
channels
are
used,
whether
the
intake
structure
incorporates
a
bay
or
cove,
and
whether
the
intake
structure
is
at
the
shoreline
or
offshore.
Depth
of
the
water
source
at
the
withdrawal
point
is
requested
in
addition
to
the
average
distance
of
the
intake
structure
below
the
water
surface.
The
section
concludes
by
requesting
information
on
whether
sensitive
aquatic
ecological
areas
are
within
an
area
that
is
influenced
by
the
plant's
intake
structures,
if
such
information
is
known.
The
data
from
this
section
of
the
questionnaire
will
enable
EPA
to
characterize
the
distribution
of
plants
that
have
cooling
water
intake
structures
and
the
types
of
water
bodies
from
which
cooling
water
is
being
withdrawn.

Section
C
requests
basic
design
and
operating
data
about
the
technologies
being
used
at
cooling
water
intake
structures.
The
questions
are
limited
to
those
intake
structures
that
directly
withdraw
cooling
water
from
surface
water.
Information
is
also
solicited
on
the
design
pass­
through
velocity
at
each
intake
structure.
Actual
monthly
cooling
water
intake
flows
are
also
requested
for
each
intake
structure
for
the
years
[
2000]
1996
to
[
2002]
1998.
In
addition,
plants
are
asked
to
provide
some
basic
data
if
they
have
ever
reduced
cooling
water
intake
flow
rates
to
minimize
impingement
and/
or
entrainment
and
if
they
have
employed
dilution
pump
technologies
to
reduce
the
temperature
of
their
discharge.
For
plants
employing
an
ice
control
system
at
any
of
their
cooling
water
intake
structures,
some
basic
information
regarding
the
type
of
system(
s)
in
place
is
requested.
Some
basic
information
on
technologies
that
were
previously
used
to
minimize
impingement
and/
or
entrainment
at
an
intake
structure
but
were
ineffective
is
requested.
Finally,
some
very
basic
data
on
cooling
water
towers
are
requested
for
those
plants
that
employ
such
devices.

Section
D
of
the
questionnaire
requests
information
on
the
types
of
studies
that
may
have
been
conducted
at
the
plant.
Basic
data
are
requested
for
any
Section
316(
b)
demonstration
studies
that
may
have
been
completed
(
i.
e.,
studies
to
show
that
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
reflect
BTA
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact).
Information
is
also
requested
on
any
discrete
biological
or
technology­
related
studies
that
have
been
conducted
by
the
plant
on
impingement
and
entrainment.
Through
this
section
of
the
questionnaire,
EPA
is
attempting
to
identify
research
that
plants
have
already
undertaken
on
Section
316(
b)­
related
topics
and
the
availability
of
study
data.

Section
E
requests
some
basic
information
for
cooling
water
intake
structures
planned
or
under
construction.
Basic
design

Part
3
of
the
survey
asks
for
economic
and
financial
information
about
plants
and
steam­
electric
generating
units.
The
EPA
will
use
this
information
to
assess
the
potential
impacts
of
compliance
with
cooling
water
intake
structure
guidelines
(
under
the
authority
of
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act)
on
the
economic
viability
of
all
affected
plants
and
their
steam­
electric
generating
units.

Specifically,
EPA
needs
to
determine
how
many
facilities
and
generating
units
are
likely
to
experience
adverse
economic
impacts
as
a
result
of
compliance
with
regulation,
how
large
the
economic
impacts
will
be,
and
if
these
impacts
will
be
more
severe
for
plants
and
generating
units
owned
by
small
firms
than
those
owned
by
non­
small
firms.
In
order
to
evaluate
the
full
economic
impact
of
the
regulation,
EPA
will
consider
the
costs
associated
with
performing
Section
316(
b)
studies,
additions
to
cooling
water
intake
equipment,
operating
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
the
regulation,
and
any
impacts
of
Section
316(
b)
compliance
requirements
on
the
plant's
economic
efficiency.
EPA
will
estimate
compliance
cost
impacts
on
utility
and
plant
cash
flows
and
assess
the
likelihood
of
full
or
partial
plant
closures
as
a
result
of
the
regulation.
EPA
needs
the
information
requested
in
this
part
of
the
survey
in
order
to
conduct
these
analyses.

The
economic
and
financial
portion
of
the
questionnaire
requests
information
about
each
plant
as
well
as
its
steam­
electric
generating
units.
Frequently,
your
accountant
or
comptroller
is
the
best
source
of
this
kind
information.
You
may
need
to
contact
your
utility
headquarters
for
some
of
the
information
requested.

Authority
EPA
is
given
authority
to
administer
the
technical
questionnaire
under
Section
308
of
the
CWA
(
33
U.
S.
C.
Section
1318).
Late
filing
of
the
questionnaire,
or
failure
to
follow
any
related
EPA
instructions,
may
result
in
civil
penalties,
criminal
fines,
or
other
sanctions
provided
by
law.

Method
and
time
of
asserting
business
confidentiality
claim.
A
business
which
is
submitting
information
to
EPA
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
covering
the
information
by
placing
on
(
or
attaching
to)
the
information,
at
the
time
it
is
submitted
to
EPA,
a
cover
sheet,
stamped
or
typed
legend,
or
other
suitable
form
of
notice
employing
language
such
as
`
trade
secret,'
`
proprietary,'
or
`
company
confidential.'
Allegedly
confidential
portions
of
otherwise
nonconfidential
documents
should
be
clearly
identified
by
the
business,
and
may
be
submitted
separately
to
facilitate
identification
and
handling
by
EPA.
If
the
business
desires
confidential
treatment
only
until
a
certain
date
or
until
the
occurrence
of
a
certain
event,
the
notice
should
so
state.

You
may
claim
confidentiality
of
business
information
for
any
of
your
responses
by
checking
(
T
)
the
circle
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
or
by
a
method
described
above.
Alternatively,
all
eligible
questions
in
this
questionnaire
may
be
globally
claimed
confidential
by
checking
the

at
the
end
of
this
paragraph.
Note,
however,
that
certain
types
of
information
cannot
be
claimed
as
confidential
under
the
CWA
(
e.
g.,
plant
location,
water
body,

data).
Questions
that
cannot
be
claimed
as
confidential
do
not
include
an

and
no
other
claim
of
confidentiality
has
been
made
with
respect
to
any
of
your
given

Agency
to
be
trained
and
certified.

EPA
may
make
information
covered

Please
use
SIC
codes

Manual.
This
listing
can
also
be
found
at
the
following
Internet
site:

sicser5.]

NOTE:
Since
the
1930s,
SIC
codes
have
been
used
to
facilitate
the
collection,
tabulation,
presentation,
and
analysis
of
data
relating
to
U.
S.
business
establishments
by
Federal
statistical
agencies
(
e.
g.,
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
or
OMB,
Bureau
of
the
Census,
etc.).
The
system
was
last
updated
by
OMB
in
1987.
It
was
recently
replaced
by
the
North
American
Industry
Classification
System
(
NAICS)
in
1997;
however,
it
continues
to
be
used
by
many
Federal
agencies.
EPA
believes
it
would
be
unnecessarily
confusing
to
ask
facilities
to
classify
themselves
using
NAICS
codes
for
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire.

DEFINITION
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
a
cooling
water
system
is
a
system
that
provides
water
to/
from
a
facility
to
transfer
heat
from
equipment
or
processes
therein.
A
system
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to,
one
or
more
water
intake
and
outlet
structures,
cooling
towers,
ponds,
pumps,
pipes,
and
canals/
channels.
For
facilities
that
use
surface
water
for
cooling,
a
cooling
water
system
begins
at
the
first
barrier(
s)
to
ingress
and/
or
egress
by
fish
and
other
aquatic
wildlife
(
e.
g.,
at
the
weir
wall,
at
the
trash
rack,
etc.)
and
ends
at
the
discharge
outlet(
s).

e.,
have
separate
water
intake
and
outlet
structures)
and
can
be
operated
independently.
If
your
facility
has
several
intake
structures,
but
only
one
outlet
structure,
or
vice­
versa,
please
consider
the
facility
as
having
only
one
cooling

DEFINITION
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
is
the
total
structure
used
to
withdraw
water
from
a
water
source
up
to
the
first
intake
pump
or
series
of
pumps.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
absorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
facility's
premises.
Single
cooling
water
intake
structures
may
have
multiple
intake
bays
and
could
serve
more
than
one
generating
unit.
If
a
facility
has
intake
structures
that
withdraw
water
for
purposes
besides
cooling,
the
entire
intake
structure
should
be
considered
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
under
the
questionnaire.
Cooling
Water
Intake
Structures
2.
How
many
intake
structures
does
the
facility
have
that
directly
withdraw
surface
water
to
support,
at
least
in
part,
contact
or
noncontact
cooling
operations
within
the
facility?

Consider
only
those
intake
structures
presently
operating
and
temporarily
offline
(
i.
e.,
expected
to
operate
again
in
the
future).
Do
not
include
intake
structures
planned
or
under
construction
or
permanently
offline.

Please
attach
a
flow
distribution/
water
balance
diagram
to
this
section
of
the
questionnaire.
The
flow
diagram
should
contain
the
information
itemized
below.

NOTE:
If
you
have
an
existing
diagram,
perhaps
as
part
of
your
NPDES
permit
application
package,
you
may
modify
it
to
include
the
information
requested.
If
you
do
not
have
a
flow
diagram,
please
develop
one.
The
diagram
can
be
printed
or
typed.
A
sample
diagram
has
been
included
at
the
end
of
this
section
to
clarify
the
type
of
information
being
requested.

By
intake
structure
(
both
cooling
water
intake
structures
as
well
as
others),
note
contributing
sources
of
new
water
to
the
facility
by
generic
name
(
e.
g.,
groundwater,
surface
water,
local
water
supplier,
or
water
supply
of
facility
other
than
your
own)
despite
how
that
water
is
ultimately
used.

°
Include
intake
structures
presently
operating,
and
temporarily
offline
but
expected
to
be
returned
to
service.

°
Do
not
include
intake
structures
that
have
been
permanently
taken
offline
or
those
planned
or
under
construction.

°
Label
the
intake
structures
on
the

designated
name
or
number,
and
note
the
operational
status.

°
Provide
a
brief
description
of
the
source
water
and
intake
configuration
(
e.
g.,
the
cooling
water
intake
structure
has
5
surface
intake
bays
that
are
flush
with
the
shoreline
on
a
natural
cove
on
the
Survey
River.)

NOTE:
An
annual
average
of
flows
in
million
gallons
per
day
(
MGD)
can
be
calculated
by
summing
actual
daily
intake
flows
(
in
MGD)
for
[
2002]
1998
and
dividing
by
365
days.

(
2)
Indicate
the
average
daily
intake
flow
of
new
water,
including
makeup
water
(
in
MGD)
taken
into
the
facility
through
each
of
the
facility's
intake
structures.

(
b)
Distribution
of
Facility's
Intake
Flow
(
based
on
2002
1998
flow
data)

Indicate
the
distribution
of
the
intake
flow
(
average
daily
intake
flows,
in
MGD)
from
each
of
the
intake
structures
to
waters
used
for
process
contact
and
noncontact
cooling,
and
nonprocess
activities
within
the
facility.

°
Note
the
type
of
activity
(
e.
g.,
process,
contact
cooling,
noncontact
cooling,
or
nonprocess)
and
the
flow
to
each
(
in

For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
impingement
refers
to
the
trapping
and
holding
of
aquatic
organisms
to
the
outer
part
of
an
intake
structure
or
against
screening
devices
during
periods
of
cooling
water
withdrawal.

For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
entrainment
refers
to
the
merging
of
small
aquatic
organisms
with
the
flow
of
cooling
water
entering
and
passing
through
a
cooling
water
intake
structure,
and
thus,
into
a
water
system.

For
those
cooling
water
intake
structures
where
fish
handling
and/
or
return
systems
are
employed,
please
provide
the
technology
data
requested
in
the
matrices
beginning
on
the
next
page.

NOTE:
Response
space
has
been
provided
for
three
different
fish
handling
and/
or
return
system
technologies.
If
you
employ
more
than
this
number
of
technologies
for
a
given
CWIS,
please
copy
the
matrix
and
continue
noting
your
technologies.
Please,
however,
change
the
technology
code
numbers.
Attach
any
additional
matrix
sheets
to
this
section
of
the
questionnaire,
and
identify
individual
matrix
sheets
as
Matrix
"
1
of
3,"
"
2

etc.

Facilities
that
employ
more
than
one
fish
handling
and/
or
return
system
technology
at
a
given
intake
structure
should
fill
out
a
separate
column
in
the
matrix
for
each
different
technology.
If
a
given
intake
structure
has
multiple
fish
handling
and/
or
return
system
technologies
that
are
substantially
similar
in
design
and
operation,
only
one
column
of
the
matrix
needs
to
be
completed.
However,
please
report
the
number
of
technology
units
that
are
similar.
If
there
are
differences
in
the
design
or
operation
of
the
same
technology
employed
at
one
intake
structure
(
i.
e.,
different
manufacturers,
different
ages,
etc.),
separate
columns
of
the
matrix
should
be
completed.

For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
phrase
"
an
environmental
impact"
means
human
induced
change
or
pressure
on
the
natural
environment.

For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
impingement
refers
to
the
trapping
and
holding
of
aquatic
organisms
to
the
outer
part
of
an
intake
structure
or
against
screening
devices
during
periods
of
cooling
water
withdrawal.

For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
entrainment
refers
to
the
merging
of
small
aquatic
organisms
with
the
flow
of
cooling
water
entering
and
passing
through
a
cooling
water
intake
structure,
and
thus,
into
a
water
system.

DEFINITION
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
domestic
parent
firm
is
the
highest
level
domestic
business
entity
in
the
facility's

structure.
A
firm
that
is
owned
by
another

S.
firm
is
not
a
domestic
parent
firm.
On
the
contrary,
a
U.
S.
firm
that
is
owned
by
a
foreign
firm
is
a
domestic
parent
firm.

that

a
result
of

Part

asks
for
data
about
your
facility.
Your
firm,
however,
may
not
customarily
compile
financial
reports
at
the
level
of
your
facility.
In
that
case,
facility­
level
information
must
be
estimated
from
data
reported
at
the
level
closest
to
your
facility.
This
may
be
a
division,
an
entire
firm,
or
some
other
business
unit.

You
should
report
information
about
your
facility
either
from
compiled
reports
or
by
estimating
facilitylevel
data.
If
you
have
to
estimate
facility
data,
you
may
use
any
method
and
information
that,
in
your
opinion,
will
yield
the
best
estimate
of
facility­
level
data.
If
no
such
method
or

is
available,
you
should

Instructions
for
estimating
facility
data:
If
you
need
to
estimate
facility
data,
you
may
use
any
method
and
information
that,
in
your
opinion,
will
yield
the
best
estimate
of
facility­
level
data.
If
no
such
method
or
information
is
available,
you
should
estimate
facility
data
from
financial
reports
for
the
business
unit
that
is
closest
to
your
facility
in
terms
of
business
activities
performed.
Please
estimate
facility
data
by
multiplying
that
business
unit's
numbers
by
the
ratio
of
your
facility's
revenues
to
that
business
unit's
revenues.
That
is:

If
revenues
are
not
available,
then
use
the
ratio
of
production
costs.
That

DEFINITION
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
term
cooling
water
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
water
refers
to
water
used
for
cooling
purposes
that
is
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
water
through
one
or
more

this
facility.

Note:
Cooling
water
may
be
derived
from
several
sources
and
be
commingled
before
being
used
for
cooling
purposes.
If
any
portion
of
such
commingled
cooling
water
was
derived
from
surface
water
through
the
facility's
own
intake
structure,
it
should
be
considered
cooling
water
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
water.

unit
that
is
generally
running
under
no­
load
but
that
is
available
to
replace
or
supplement
a
facility
or
unit
normally
in
service.

Steam­
Electric
Generating
Unit:
A
generating
unit
in
which
the
prime
mover
is
a
steam
turbine.
The
turbines
convert
thermal
energy
(
steam
or
hot
water)
produced
by
generators
or
boilers
to
mechanical
energy
or
shaft
torque.
This
mechanical
energy
is
used
to
power
electric
generators,
which
convert
the
mechanical
energy
to
electricity,
including
combined
cycle
electric
generating
units.

Stream
Order:
A
method
of
numbering
streams
as
part
of
a
drainage
basin
network.
The
smallest
unbranched
mapped
tributary
on
a
U.
S.
Geological
Service
(
USGS)
1:
100,000
scale
topographic
map
is
called
first
order,
the
stream
receiving
the
tributary
is
called
second
order,
and
so
on.
See
Figure
3
for
an
example
of
how
to
determine
stream
order.

Submerged
Vegetation:
Vascular
plants
that
are
of
significant
ecological
value
because
they
provide
prime
habitat
for
aquatic
species,
and
that
live
and
grow
completely
under
the
surface,
except
that
some
species
have
flowers
that
may

significant
inflows
of
water
from
oceans
or
bays
due
to
tidal
action.[
NOTE:
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
term
"
tidal
river"
means
the
seaward
most
reach
of
a
river/
stream
where
the
salinity
is
<
0.5
ppt
at
a
time
of
annual
low

of
the
Clean
Water
Act,
33
U.
S.
C.,
Section
1326(

are
having
an
adverse
impact
on
the
environment.
Moreover,
questionnaire
responses
are
not
intended
to
identify
whether
a
specific
plant
is
employing
BTA
with
respect
to
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impacts
from
cooling
water
intake
structures,
though
they
may
help
EPA
determine
BTA
options
for
various
classes
of
plants.
The
questionnaires
are
simply
tools
for
characterizing
some
of
the
following:
type
and
nature
of
plants
using
cooling
water,
specific
uses
of
cooling
water,
design
and
configuration
of
cooling
water
systems
and
cooling
water
intake
structures,
types
of
technologies
being
used
at
intake
structures,
and
whether
plants
have
previously
evaluated
the
environmental
impacts
of
their
cooling
water
intake
structures.
Data
from
the
questionnaires
will
be
factored
into
ongoing
research
being
conducted
by
EPA
that
is
more
specifically
designed
to
determine
the
nature
of
adverse
impacts
and
the
types
of
control
technologies
that
might
minimize
such
impacts.
All
of
EPA's
research
efforts
will
feed
the
development
of
regulatory
options,
some
of
which
will
subsequently
be
fashioned
into
a
proposed
rulemaking
that
will
be
put
forth
for
public
review
and
comment.

Please
note
that
it
is
not
the
intent
of
EPA
to
require
facility
personnel
to
go
to
unusual
lengths
to
retrieve
information
to
respond
to
this
questionnaire.
Responses
should
be
based
on
data
that
can
be
accessed
from
plant
records
with
reasonable
diligence.

The
enclosed
short
technical
questionnaire
consists
of
three
main
sections.
Section
1
requests
general
plant
information,
such
as
plant
name,
location,
and
Standard
Industrial
Classification
(
SIC)
codes.
Section
2
requests
information
from
plants
on
such
topics
as
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permit
status,
whether
cooling
water
is
used
and,
if
so,
whether
it
is
withdrawn
by
the
plant
from
surface
water.
Finally,
information
is
requested
on
the
types
of
activities
for
which
the
plant
uses
cooling
water
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
water.
The
purpose
of
these
two
sections
is
to
help
EPA
determine
the
nature
of
plants
within
an
industry
group
that
use
cooling
water.
Additionally,
the
information
will
help
EPA
identify
(
i.
e.,
"
screen")
plants
that
are
not
subject
to
Section
316(
b).
These
out­
of­
scope
plants
will
be
exempted
from
completing
the
remaining
sections
of
the
questionnaire.
Plants
that
will
be
considered
"
out­
of­
scope"
will
include
those
that
(
1)
are
not
point
sources
as
defined
under
Section
502(
14)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
33
U.
S.

(
2)
do
not
use
cooling
water
as
that
term
is
defined
for
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
or
(
3)
do
not
receive
any
of
their
cooling
water
supply
from
a
surface
water
source.

Confidential
Business
Information
You
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
for
some
or
all
of
your
responses
to
the
short
technical
questionnaire,
as
described
in
40
CFR
2.203(
b)
(
see
full
text
below).
Complete
regulations
governing
confidentiality
of
business
information
(
CBI)
appear
in
40
CFR,
Part
2,
Subpart
B.

40
CFR
2.203(
b)
Method
and
time
of
asserting
business
confidentiality
claim.
A
business
which
is
submitting
information
to
EPA
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
covering
the
information
by
placing
on
(
or
attaching
to)
the
information,
at
the
time
it
is
submitted
to
EPA,
a
cover
sheet,
stamped
or
typed
legend,
or
other
suitable
form
of
notice
employing
language
such
as
`
trade
secret,'
`
proprietary,'
or
`
company
confidential.'
Allegedly
confidential
portions
of
otherwise
nonconfidential
documents
should
be
clearly
identified
by
the
business,
and
may
be
submitted
separately
to
facilitate
identification
and
handling
by
EPA.
If
the
business
desires
confidential
treatment
only
until
a
certain
date
or
until
the
occurrence
of
a
certain
event,
the
notice
should
so
state.

You
may
claim
confidentiality
of
business
information
for
any
of
your
responses
by
one
of
the
methods
described
above.
If
no
claim
of
confidentiality
has
been
made,
EPA
may
make
the
data
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice.
Please
note
that
you
may
be
required
to
justify
any
claim
of
confidentiality
at
a
later
time.
Note,
however,
that
certain
types
of
information
cannot
be
considered
confidential
under
the
CWA
(
e.
g.,
plant
location,
water
body,
water
body
type,
intake
flow
data).

If
EPA
reveals
information
covered
by
a
claim
of
confidentiality,
the
Agency
will
strictly
follow
the
requirements
and
procedures
set
forth
in
40
CFR
Part
2,
Subpart
B.
Overall,
EPA
may
reveal
submitted
information
protected
by
a
CBI
claim
only
to
other
employees,
officers,
or
authorized
representatives
of
the
United
States
who
are
responsible
for
implementation
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.
EPA
has
extensive
standard
operating
procedures
in
place
to
handle,
store,
and
transmit
CBI
data
and
has
a
long
history
of
successfully
managing
this
type
of
information.
In
addition,
personnel
expected
to
handle
CBI
data
are
required
by
the
Agency
to
be
trained
and
certified.

Agency
contractors
will
have
access
to
CBI
data
so
that
work
can
be
performed
under
their
contracts
relative
to
the
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking.
All
EPA
contracts
require
that
contractor
employees
must
use
CBI
data
only
to
perform
work
specified
by
EPA.

NOTE:
Since

have
been
used
to
facilitate
the
collection,
tabulation,

analysis
of
data
relating
to
U.

business
establishments
by
Federal
statistical
agencies
(
e.

Budget
or
OMB,
Bureau
of
the
Census,
etc.).
The
system
was
last
updated
by
OMB
in
1987.
It
was
recently
replaced
by
the
North
American
Industry
Classification
System
(
NAICS)
in
1997;
however,
it
continues
to
be
used
by
many
Federal
agencies.
EPA
believes
it
would
be
unnecessarily
confusing
to
ask
plants
to
classify
themselves
using
NAICS
codes
for
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Structures
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
surface
water
includes
lakes,
ponds,
or
reservoirs;
nontidal
rivers
or
streams;
tidal
rivers;
estuaries;
fjords;
oceans;
and
bays/
coves.
A
cooling
water
intake
structure
is
the
total
structure
and
associated
technologies
used
to
direct
water
from
a
water
body
into
a
plant
up
to
the
point
of
the
first
intake
pump
or
series
of
pumps.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
absorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
plant's
premises.
Single
cooling
water
intake
structures
might
have
multiple
intake
bays.
If
a
plant
has
an
intake
structure
that
withdraws
water
for
other
purposes
in
addition
to
cooling,
the
entire
intake
structure
should
be
considered
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
for

Calendar
Year
(

Definition:
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
term
operating
days
refers
to
the
total
number
of
days
(
1
day
=
24
hours)
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
was
operational
during
a
calendar
year,
excluding
any
days
the
intake
structure
was
offline
for
routine
maintenance
or
otherwise
was
not
operational.

NOTE:
Operating
days
should
be
determined
by
adding
the
number
of
hours
the
CWIS
was
operational
during
the
year
and
then
dividing
by
24
hours
per
day
to
get
the
total
number
of
operating
days.
For
example,
if
a
plant
has
operated
5,840
hours
during
the
calendar
year,
the
total
hours
divided
by
24
hours
per
day
are
equal
to

calendar
days.

"
tidal
river"
means
the
seaward
most
reach
of
a
river/
stream

the
salinity
is
<
0.5
ppt

a
time
of
annual
low
flow

A.
SUMMARY
OF
MAJOR
COMMENTS
The
Agency
announced
a
proposed
extension
of
the
information
collection
(
EPA
ICR
No.

1838.01,
OMB
No.
2040­
0213)
for
316(
b)
rulemaking
(
67
FR
76400,
December
12,
2002).

Comments
were
to
be
submitted
on
or
before
February
10,
2003.
Only
one
comment
was
submitted,
a
2
½
page
comment
from
the
National
Food
Processors
Association.

Summary
of
the
comment:
NFPA
did
not
address
the
reasons
for
or
the
need
for
the
information
collection
or
the
burden.
NFPA
did
not
question
or
comment
on
the
definition
or
extent
of
the
population.
NFPA
adressed
only
the
nature
and
phrasing
of
the
questions,
and
EPA
agrees
with
and
will
accommodate
most
of
the
comments.
EPA's
response,
below,
indicates
in
more
detail
the
nature
of
NFPA's
comments.

B.
RESPONSE
EPA
thanks
the
NFPA
for
its
comments
on
the
draft
short
technical
and
long
financial/
economic
surveys
that
EPA
proposed
to
issue
to
"
offshore
seafood
processors."
NFPA's
comments
have
been
very
helpful
in
revising
the
questionnaires.
EPA
intends
to
change
the
questions
to
reflect
almost
all
of
the
comments
and
suggestions
from
NFPA
to
the
maximum
extent
practicable.
EPA
believes
that
the
revised
questionnaire
is
responsive
to
all
of
the
detailed
comments
by
NFPA
and
to
most
of
the
general
comments
by
NFPA.

Responses
to
general
comments
by
NFPA
follow.
Specific
vessels
will
be
identified
to
survey
recipients
to
the
extent
that
EPA
has
this
information
(
at
this
time,
EPA
believes
that
it
has
identified
almost
all
relevant
vessels).
EPA
cannot
eliminate
from
the
survey
those
vessels
which
conduct
only
initial
preparation
(
deheading,
evisceration,
icing,
freezing).
However,
EPA
believes
that
most
such
vessels
will
not
be
in
the
list
of
vessels
surveyed,
and
of
those
which
do
receive
a
survey,
most
would
be
stopped
from
completing
the
survey
at
the
question
asking
whether
their
water
intake
exceeds
2
million
gallons
per
day
(
MGD).
References
to
"
plant"
or
"
facility"
will
be
changed
to
"
vessel."
The
time
frame
of
information
requested
by
year
will
be
changed
to
"
2000,
2001,
and
2002,"
or
to
"
since
January
1,
2000,"
and
in
the
latter
case
EPA
believes
that
the
questions
allow
sufficient
flexibility
to
avoid
searches
for
past­
year
information.

The
scoping
questions
will
stop
further
responses
for
vessels
withdrawing
less
than
2
million
gallons
per
day
on
the
short
questionnaire.
Recipients
of
the
questionnaires
whose
vessels
all
withdraw
less
than
2
MGD
may
need
to
complete
the
financial
survey
in
order
to
enable
EPA
to
fully
assess
economic
impacts
in
the
industry;
thus,
EPA
cannot
agree
to
the
suggestion
to
exclude
such
owners
from
the
financial
survey.
Questions
will
be
revised
to
reflect
the
mobile
nature
of
vessels,
to
request
latitude
and
longitude
only
for
vessels
processing
at
pier­
side
or
at
a
mooring,
to
request
information
on
the
waters
and
regions
of
operation.
Questionnaire
instructions
will
note,
where
appropriate,
that
the
question
applies
to
seafood
processing
operations.

identify
the
types
and
sizes
of
Seafood
Processing
Vessels
that
are
subject
to
Section
316(
b).

Please
note
that
data
from
this
technical
questionnaire
are
not
intended
to
identify
whether
a
specific
vessel's
cooling
water
intake
structures
are
having
an
adverse
impact
on
the
environment.
Moreover,
questionnaire
responses
are
not
intended
to
identify
whether
a
specific
vessel
is
employing
BTA
with
respect
to
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impacts
from
cooling
water
intake
structures,
though
they
may
help
EPA
determine
BTA
options
for
various
types
of
offshore
seafood
processing
vessels.
The
questionnaires
are
simply
tools
for
characterizing
some
of
the
following:
type
and
nature
of
vessels
using
cooling
water,
specific
uses
of
cooling
water,
design
and
configuration
of
cooling
water
systems
and
cooling
water
intake
structures,
types
of
technologies
being
used
at
intake
structures,
and
whether
vessels
have
previously
evaluated
the
environmental
impacts
of
their
cooling
water
intake
structures.
Data
from
the
questionnaires
will
be
factored
into
ongoing
research
being
conducted
by
EPA
that
is
more
specifically
designed
to
determine
the
nature
of
adverse
impacts
and
the
types
of
control
technologies
that
might
minimize
such
impacts.
All
of
EPA's
research
efforts
will
feed
the
development
of
regulatory
options,
some
of
which
will
subsequently
be
fashioned
into
a
proposed
rulemaking
that
will
be
put
forth
for
public
review
and
comment.

Please
note
that
it
is
not
the
intent
of
EPA
to
require
vessel
personnel
to
go
to
unusual
lengths
to
retrieve
information
to
respond
to
this
questionnaire.
Responses
should
be
based
on
data
that
can
be
accessed
from
vessel
records
with
reasonable
diligence.

The
enclosed
technical
questionnaire
consists
of
four
main
sections.
Section
A
requests
general
vessel
information,
such
as
vessel
name
and
location.
Section
B
requests
information
from
vessels
on
such
topics
as
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permit
status,
and
whether
cooling
water
is
used.
Finally,
information
is
requested
on
the
types
of
activities
for
which
the
vessel
uses
cooling
water
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
water.
The
purpose
of
these
two
sections
is
to
help
EPA
determine
the
nature
of
vessels
within
an
industry
group
that
use
cooling
water.
Additionally,
the
information
will
help
EPA
identify
(
i.
e.,
"
screen")
vessels
that
are
not
subject
to
Section
316(
b).
These
out­
of­
scope
vessels
will
be
exempted
from
completing
the
remaining
sections
of
the
questionnaire.
Section
C
requests
vessels
to
provide
basic
design
and
operational
data
on
their
cooling
water
intake
structures
and
cooling
water
systems.
Many
of
the
questions
are
in
multiple­
choice
format.
The
following
types
of
information
are
being
requested:
originating
sources
of
cooling
water,
total
cooling
water
intake
flow
rates
and
operating
days
for
a
typical
calendar
year,
control
technologies
being
used
at
intake
structures,
and
whether
vessel
or
firm
owners
have
ever
conducted
or
commissioned
environmental
or
ecological
studies
of
the
potential
impacts
of
any
of
their
cooling
water
intake
structures.
Section
D
requests
facility
and
firm
economic
data.
It
is
only
applicable
to
facility
who
are
out­
of­
scope
and
therefore
not
required

the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire.

Confidential
Business
Information
You
may
assert
a

confidentiality
claim
for
some
or
all
of
your
responses
to
the
technical
questionnaire,
as
described
in
40
CFR
2.203(
b)
(
see
full
text
below).
Complete
regulations
governing
confidentiality
of
business
information
(

appear
in
40
CFR,
Part
2,
Subpart
B.

40
CFR

Method
and
time
of
asserting
business
confidentiality
claim.
A
business
which
is
submitting
information
to
EPA
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
covering
the
information
by
placing
on
(
or
attaching
to)
the
information,
at
the
time
it
is
submitted
to
EPA,
a
cover
sheet,
stamped
or
typed
legend,
or
other
suitable
form
of
notice
employing
language
such
as
`
trade
secret,'
`
proprietary,'
or
`
company
confidential.'
Allegedly
confidential
portions
of
otherwise
nonconfidential
documents
should
be
clearly
identified
by
the
business,
and
may
be
submitted
separately
to
facilitate
identification
and
handling
by
EPA.
If
the
business
desires
confidential
treatment
only
until
a
certain
date
or
until
the
occurrence
of
a
certain
event,
the
notice
should
so
state.

You
may
claim
confidentiality
of
business
information
for
any
of
your
responses
by
one
of
the
methods
described
above.
If
no
claim
of
confidentiality
has
been
made,
EPA
may
make
the
data
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice.
Please
note
that
you
may
be
required
to
justify
any
claim
of
confidentiality
at
a
later
time.
Note,
however,
that
certain
types
of
information
cannot
be
considered
confidential
under
the
CWA
(
e.
g.,
vessel
location,
water
body,
water
body
type,
intake
flow
data).

If
EPA
reveals
information
covered
by
a
claim
of
confidentiality,
the
Agency
will
strictly
follow
the
requirements
and
procedures
set
forth
in
40
CFR
Part
2,
Subpart
B.
Overall,
EPA
may
reveal
submitted
information
protected
by
a
CBI
claim
only
to
other
employees,
officers,
or
authorized
representatives
of
the
United
States
who
are
responsible
for
implementation
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.
EPA
has
extensive
standard
operating
procedures
in
place
to
handle,
store,
and
transmit
CBI
data
and
has
a
long
history
of
successfully
managing
this
type
of
information.
In
addition,
personnel
expected
to
handle
CBI
data
are
required
by
the
Agency
to
be
trained
and
certified.

Agency
contractors
will
have
access
to
CBI
data
so
that
work
can
be
performed
under
their
contracts
relative
to
the
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking.
All
EPA
contracts
require
that
contractor
employees
must
use
CBI
data
only
to
perform
work
specified
by
EPA.
The
information
is
not
to
be
shown
to
anyone,
other
than
EPA
officials,
without
prior
written
approval
having
been
received
from
the
affected
business
or
from
EPA's
legal
office.

has
the

water
from
a
surface
water
source?

NOTE:
In
order
for
a
vessel
to
directly
withdraw
cooling
water
from

water,
it
must
have
an
intake
structure,
such
as
a
sea

What
is
the
vessel's
design
intake
flow
(
check
appropriate
unit)
.......................................................................__________________

Definition:
"
Design
intake
flow"
is
the
total
capacity
of
the
cooling
water
intake
structures.
A
cooling
water
intake
structure
is
an
intake
structure
that
withdraws
any
portion
of
water
for
cooling
purposes,
even
if
a
large
portion
of
that
water
is
used
for
non­
cooling
purposes.
For
example,
if
an
intake
structure
(
e.
g.,
seachest,
deepwell)
has
one
or
more
lines
&
pumps
withdrawing
from
it,
some
supplying
cooling
systems,
and
some
not
(
e.
g.
fire
mains),
the
capacity
of
all
pumps
withdrawing
through
the
intake
structure
would
be
counted.
If
a
fire
main
or
a
ballast
tank
is
supplied
through
a
separate
intake
structure
(
e.
g.
simple
pipe,
seachest,
or
deepwell)
that
does
not
have
any
lines
&
pumps
supplying
cooling
water,
that
capacity
would
not
be
counted
(
this
situation
may
occur
on
fixed
platforms
and
jackup
rigs,
for
example).

(
b)
Is
your
design
intake
flow
less
than
2
million
gallons
per
day?

you
answered
Yes,
you
do
not
need
to
answer
the
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
which
accompanied
this
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire.
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
surface
water
includes
lakes,
ponds,
or
reservoirs;
nontidal
rivers
or
streams;
tidal
rivers;
estuaries;
fjords;
oceans;
and
bays/
coves.
A
cooling
water
intake
structure
is
the
total
structure
and
associated
technologies
used
to
direct
water
from
a
water
body
into
a
vessel
up
to
the
point
of
the
first
intake
pump
or
series
of
pumps.
The
intended
use
of
cooling
water
is
to
absorb
waste
heat.
If
a
vessel
has
an
intake
structure
that
withdraws
water
for
other
purposes
in
addition
to
cooling,
the
entire
intake
structure
should
be
considered
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
for
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire.

DEFINITION
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
a
typical
calendar
year
is
one
in
which
the
vessel
and
its
cooling
water
intake
structures
are
operated
in
a
normal,
routine,
regular,
or
otherwise
standard
fashion.
The
data
provided
should
be
similar
to
data
from
other
recent
calendar
years
of
operation
or
from
projected,
near
future
years
of
operation
(
i.
e.,
2000
to
2002).

This
question
applies
to

Definition:
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
term
operating
days
refers
to
the
total
number
of
days
(
1
day
=
24
hours)
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
was
operational
during
a
calendar
year,
excluding
any
days
the
intake
structure
was
offline
for
routine
maintenance
or
otherwise
was
not
operational.

NOTE:
Operating
days
should
be
determined
by
adding
the
number
of
hours
the
CWIS
was
operational
during
the
year
and
then
dividing
by
24
hours
per
day
to
get
the
total
number
of
operating
days.
For
example,
if
a
vessel
has
operated
5,840
hours
during
the
calendar
year,
the
total
hours
divided
by
24
hours
per
day
are
equal
to
243

DEFINITION
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
domestic
parent
firm
is
the
highest
level
of
domestic
business
entity
in
the
organizational
structure.
For
example,
if
the
company
that
owns
the
vessel
is
a
wholly­
owned
subsidiary
of
another
US
company,
the
second
company
would
be
the
parent
firm
(
if
it
is
not
owned
by
another
US
company).
A
firm
that
is
owned
by
another
U.
S.
firm
is
not
a
domestic
parent
firm.
A
U.
S.
firm
that
is
owned
by
a
foreign
firm
is
a
domestic

legal
meaning
with
respect
to
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.

Average
Daily
Intake
Flow
Rate:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
over
an
average
24­
hour
day.

Cooling
Operations:
Activities
that
transfer
heat
from
one
medium
or
activity
to
cooling
water
(
with
the
exception
of
nonprocess
air
conditioning).

Cooling
Water:
Refers
to
both
contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
water,
including
water
used
for
equipment
cooling,
and
dilution
of
effluent
heat
content.
Cooling
water
may
be
used
for
the
cooling
of
engines
and
related
parts,
cooling
of
desalination
equipment,
cooling
of
fish
freezing
equipment,
cooling
of
equipment
used
for
cooking
crab
and
shrimp
or
other.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
absorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
the
process
or
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
vessel's
premises.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Structure:
The

structure
used
to
withdraw
water
from
a
water
source
up
to
the
point
of
the
first
intake
pump
or
series
of
pumps.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
adsorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
vessel.
If
a
vessel
has
intake
structures
that
withdraw
water
for
purposes
in
addition
to
cooling,
the
entire
intake
structure
should
be
considered
a
cooling
water
intake
structure.

Cooling
Water
System:
A
system
that
provides
water
to/
from
a
vessel
to
transfer
heat
from

or
processes
therein.
The
system
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to,
seachests,
through­
hull
penetrations,
simple
pipes,
pumps
or
other
water
intake
structures.
For
vessels
that
use
surface
water
for
cooling,
a
system
begins
at
the
first
barrier(
s)
to
ingress
and/
or
egress
by
fish
and
other
aquatic
wildlife
(
e.
g.,
at
the
seachest

screen
(
or
other
technology)
against
which
organisms
may
be
impinged
or
where
they
may
be
entrained.

Discharge:
When
used
without
qualification,
means
the
discharge
of
a
pollutant.
Discharge
of
a
pollutant
means:
(
i)
any

source,
or
(
ii)
any
addition
of
any
pollutant
or
combination
of
pollutants
to
the
waters
of
the
contiguous
zone
or
the
ocean
from
any
point
source
other
than
a

structure,
and,
thus,
into
a
cooling
water
system.

General
Information
and

Why
This
Questionnaire?

The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
currently
developing
regulations
under
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act,
33
U.
S.
C.,
Section
1326(
b).
Section
316(
b)
provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or
306
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
CWA)
and
applicable
to
a
point
source
require
that
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflect
the
best
technology
available
(
BTA)
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.
Answers
to
the
enclosed
short
technical
questionnaire
will
help
EPA
identify
the
types
and
sizes
of
vessels
that
are
subject
to
Section
316(
b).

Answers
to
the
enclosed
economic
questionnaire
will
help
EPA
to
assess
the
potential
impacts
of
compliance
with
cooling
water
intake
structure
guidelines
(
under
the
authority
of
Section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA)
on
the
economic
viability
of
all
affected
facilities.

Specifically,
EPA
needs
to
determine
how
many
vessels
are
likely
to
experience
adverse
economic
impacts
as
a
result
of
compliance
with
regulations,
how
large
the
economic
impacts
will
be,
and
if
these
impacts
will
be
more
severe
for
facilities
owned
by
small
firms
than
those
owned
by
non­
small
firms.
In
order
to
evaluate
the
full
economic
impact
of
the
regulation,
EPA
will
consider
the
costs
associated
with
performing
Section
316(
b)
studies,
additions
to
cooling
water
intake
equipment,
operating
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
the
regulation,
and
any
impacts
of
Section
316(
b)
compliance
requirements
on
the
vessel's
economic
efficiency.
EPA
will
estimate
compliance
cost
impacts
on
vessel
cash
flows
and
assess
the
likelihood
of
full
or
partial
facility
closures
as
a
result
of
the
regulation.
EPA
needs
the
information
requested
in
this
part
of
the
survey
in
order
to
conduct
these
analyses.

This
questionnaire
requests
information
about
each
vessel.
Frequently,
your
accountant
or
comptroller
is
the
best
source
of
this
kind
of
information.
You
may
need
to
contact
your
headquarters
for
some
of
the
information
requested.

Please
note
that
it
is
not
the
intent
of
EPA
to
require
personnel
to
go
to
unusual
lengths
to
retrieve
information
to
respond
to
this
questionnaire.
Responses
should
be
based
on
data
that
can
be
accessed
from
records
with
reasonable
diligence.

The
enclosed
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
consists
of
five
main
sections.
Section
A
requests
general
vessel
information,
such
as
vessel
name,
location,
and
Standard
Industrial
Classification
(
SIC)
codes.
Section
B
requests
information
about
the
vessel's
owner
such
as
owner's
name
and
location,
name
of
domestic
parent
firm,
domestic
parent
firm
financial
data
for
2000,
2001,
and
2002,
and
number
of
fulltime
equivalent
employee.
Section
C
requests
information
on
the
vessel's
revenue
and
costs
for
the
last
three
years
such
as
total
fixed
costs,
total
variable
operating
costs,
depreciation
expenses,
and
total
capital
expenditures.
Section
D
requests
the
vessel
balance
sheet
such
as
inventories,
current
assets,
non­
current
assets,
liabilities,
and
owner
equity.
Section
E
requests
miscellaneous
information
such
as
the
number
of
full
time
employee,
expected
remaining
useful
life
of
the
vessel,
last
downtime
due
to
vessel
overhaul/
significant
capital
expenditure,
and

v
Confidential
Business
Information
You
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
for
some
or
all
of
your
responses
to
the
short
technical
questionnaire,
as
described
in
40
CFR
2.203(
b)
(
see
full
text
below).
Complete
regulations
governing
confidentiality
of
business
information
(
CBI)
appear
in
40
CFR,
Part
2,
Subpart
B.

40
CFR
2.203(
b)
Method
and
time
of
asserting
business
confidentiality
claim.
A
business
which
is
submitting
information
to
EPA
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
covering
the
information
by
placing
on
(
or
attaching
to)
the
information,
at
the
time
it
is
submitted
to
EPA,
a
cover
sheet,
stamped
or
typed
legend,
or
other
suitable
form
of
notice
employing
language
such
as
`
trade
secret,'
`
proprietary,'
or
`
company
confidential.'
Allegedly
confidential
portions
of
otherwise
nonconfidential
documents
should
be
clearly
identified
by
the
business,
and
may
be
submitted
separately
to
facilitate
identification
and
handling
by
EPA.
If
the
business
desires
confidential
treatment
only
until
a
certain
date
or
until
the
occurrence
of
a
certain
event,
the
notice
should
so
state.

You
may
claim
confidentiality
of
business
information
for
any
of
your
responses
by
one
of
the
methods
described
above.
If
no
claim
of
confidentiality
has
been
made,
EPA
may
make
the
data
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice.
Please
note
that
you
may
be
required
to
justify
any
claim
of
confidentiality
at
a
later
time.
Note,
however,
that
certain
types
of
information
cannot
be
considered
confidential
under
the
CWA
(
e.
g.,
vessel
location,
water
body,
water
body
type,
intake
flow
data).

If
EPA
reveals
information
covered
by
a
claim
of
confidentiality,
the
Agency
will
strictly
follow
the
requirements
and
procedures
set
forth
in
40
CFR
Part
2,
Subpart
B.
Overall,
EPA
may
reveal
submitted
information
protected
by
a
CBI
claim
only
to
other
employees,
officers,
or
authorized
representatives
of
the
United
States
who
are
responsible
for
implementation
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.
EPA
has
extensive
standard
operating
procedures
in
place
to
handle,
store,
and
transmit
CBI
data
and
has
a
long
history
of
successfully
managing
this
type
of
information.
In
addition,
personnel
expected
to
handle
CBI
data
are
required
by
the
Agency
to
be
trained
and
certified.

Agency
contractors
will
have
access
to
CBI
data
so
that
work
can
be
performed
under
their
contracts
relative
to
the
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking.
All
EPA
contracts
require
that
contractor
employees
must
use
CBI
data
only
to
perform
work
specified
by
EPA.
The
information
is
not
to
be
shown
to
anyone,
other
than
EPA
officials,
without
prior
written
approval
having
been
received
from
the
affected
business
or
from
EPA's
legal
office.

DEFINITION
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
domestic
parent
firm
is
the
highest
level
domestic
business
entity
in
the
vessel's
organizational
structure.
A
firm
that
is
owned
by
another
U.
S.
firm
is
not
a
domestic
parent
firm.
On
the
contrary,
a
U.
S.
firm
that
is
owned
by
a
foreign
firm
is
a
domestic
parent
firm.

The
rest
of
questionnaire
asks
for
data
about
your
vessel.
Your
firm,
however,
may
not
customarily
compile
financial
reports
at
the
level
of
your
vessel.
In
that
case,
vessel­
level
information
must
be
estimated
from
data
reported
at
the
level
closest
to
your
vessel.
This
may
be
a
division,
an
entire
firm,
or
some
other
business
unit.

You
should
report
information
about
your
vessel
either
from
compiled
reports
or
by
estimating
vessel­
level
data.
If
you
have
to
estimate
vessel
data,
you
may
use
any
method
and
information
that,
in
your
opinion,
will
yield
the
best
estimate
of
vessel­
level
data.
If
no
such
method
or

is
available,
you
should
follow
the
procedures
outlined

Instructions
for
estimating
vessel
data:
If
you
need
to
estimate
vessel
data,
you
may
use
any
method
and
information
that,
in
your
opinion,
will
yield
the
best
estimate
of
vessel­
level
data.
If
no
such
method
or
information
is
available,
you
should
estimate
vessel
data
from
financial
reports
for
the
business
unit
that
is
closest
to
your
vessel
in
terms
of
business
activities
performed.
Please
estimate
vessel
data
by
multiplying
that
business
unit's
numbers
by
the
ratio
of
your
vessel's
revenues
to
that
business
unit's
revenues.
That
is:

If
revenues
are
not
available,
then
use
the
ratio
of
production
costs.

water
refers
to
water
used
for
cooling
purposes
that
is
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
water
through
one
or
more

this
vessel.

Note:
Cooling
water
may
be
derived
from
several
sources
and
be
commingled
before
being
used
for
cooling
purposes.
If
any
portion
of
such
commingled
cooling
water
was
derived
from
surface
water
through
the
vessel's
own
intake
structure,
it
should
be
considered

do
not
have
any
legal
meaning
with
respect
to
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.

Annual
Cooling
Water
Intake
Flow
Rate:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
divided
by
the
number
of
days
the
intake
was
operating.

Average
Daily
Intake
Flow:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
over
a
24­
hour
day.

Contact
Cooling
Water:
Cooling
water
that
directly
meets
any
raw
material,
intermediate
product,
finished
product,
by­
product,
or
water
product
as
part
of
a
facility's
operation.

Cooling
Operations:
Activities
that
transfer
heat
from
one
medium
or
activity
to
cooling
water
(
with
the
exception
of
nonprocess
air
conditioning).

Cooling
Water:
Refers
to
both
contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
water,
including
water
used
for
air
conditioning,
equipment
cooling,
evaporative
cooling
tower
makeup,
and
dilution
of
effluent
heat
content.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
absorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
the
process
or
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
plant's
premises.

Cooling
Water
Discharge
Outfall:
The
total
structure
used
to
direct
water
that
has
been
used
for
contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
purposes
within
a
facility
into
Waters
of
the
United
States.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Flow
Rate:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
over
a
specific
time­
period.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Structure:
The
total
structure
and
associated
technologies
used
to
direct
water
from
a
water
body
into
a
plant
up
to
the
point
of
the
first
intake
pump
or
series
of
pumps.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
adsorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
plant's
premises.
Single
cooling
water
intake
structures
might
have
multiple
intake
bays
and
could
serve
more
than
one
generating
unit.
If
a
plant
has
intake
structures
that
withdraw
water
for
purposes
besides
cooling,
the
entire
intake
structure
should
be
considered
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
under
the
questionnaire.

Cooling
Water
System:
A
system
that
provides
water
to/
from
a
plant
to
transfer
heat
from

or
processes
therein.
The
system
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to,
water
intake
and
outlet
structures,
cooling
towers,
ponds,
pumps,
pipes,
and
canals/
channels.
For
plants
that
use
surface
water
for
cooling,
a
system
begins
at
the
first
barrier(
s)
to
ingress
and/
or
egress
by
fish
and
other
aquatic
wildlife
(
e.
g.,
at
the
Weir
wall,
at

or
group
of
products
produced
or
distributed
by
an
establishment
or
for
services
rendered
by
the
plant.
Additional
SIC
codes
are
assigned
for
any
secondary
and
tertiary
products
produced
or
for
services
rendered
by
an
establishment.

The
category
includes
systems
on
inactive
reserve
and
systems
deactivated
(
i.
e.,
systems
not
normally

General
Information
and
Instructions
Why
This
Questionnaire?

The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
currently
developing
regulations
under
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act,
33
U.
S.
C.,
Section
1326(
b).
Section
316(
b)
provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or
306
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
CWA)
and
applicable
to
a
point
source
require
that
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflect
the
best
technology
available
(
BTA)
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.
Answers
to
the
enclosed
questionnaire
will
help
EPA
identify
the
types
and
sizes
of
facilities
that
are
subject
to
Section
316(
b).

Please
note
that
data
from
this
questionnaire
are
not
intended
to
identify
whether
a
specific
facility's
cooling
water
intake
structures
are
having
an
adverse
impact
on
the
environment.
Moreover,
questionnaire
responses
are
not
intended
to
identify
whether
a
specific
facility
is
employing
BTA
with
respect
to
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impacts
from
cooling
water
intake
structures,
though
they
may
help
EPA
determine
BTA
options
for
various
classes
of
plants.
The
questionnaires
are
simply
tools
for
characterizing
some
of
the
following:
type
and
nature
of
facilities
using
cooling
water,
specific
uses
of
cooling
water,
design
and
configuration
of
cooling
water
systems
and
cooling
water
intake
structures,
types
of
technologies
being
used
at
intake
structures,
and
whether
facilities
have
previously
evaluated
the
environmental
impacts
of
their
cooling
water
intake
structures.
Data
from
the
questionnaires
will
be
factored
into
ongoing
research
being
conducted
by
EPA
that
is
more
specifically
designed
to
determine
the
nature
of
adverse
impacts
and
the
types
of
control
technologies
that
might
minimize
such
impacts.
All
of
EPA's
research
efforts
will
feed
the
development
of
regulatory
options,
some
of
which
will
subsequently
be
fashioned
into
a
proposed
rulemaking
that
will
be
put
forth
for
public
review
and
comment.

Please
note
that
it
is
not
the
intent
of
EPA
to
require
facility
personnel
to
go
to
unusual
lengths
to
retrieve
information
to
respond
to
this
questionnaire.
Responses
should
be
based
on
data
that
can
be
accessed
from
facility
records
with
reasonable
diligence.

The
enclosed
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
consists
of
four
main
sections.
Section
A
requests
general
facility
information,
such
as
facility
name
and
location.
Section
B
requests
information
from
facilities
on
such
topics
as
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permit
status,
whether
cooling
water
is
used
and,
if
so,
whether
it
is
withdrawn
by
the
facility
from
surface
water.
Finally,
information
is
requested
on
the
design
intake
flow.
The
purpose
of
the
scoping
section
is
to
help
EPA
identify
(
i.
e.,
"
screen")
facilities
that
are
not
subject
to
Section
316(
b).
These
out­
of­
scope
facilities
will
be
exempted
from
completing
the
remaining
sections
of
the
questionnaire.
Facilities
that
will
be
considered
"
out­
of­
scope"
will
include
those
that
(
1)
are
not
point
sources
as
defined
under
Section
502(
14)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
33
U.
S.
C.,
1362(
14)),
(
2)
do
not
use
cooling
water
as
that
term
is
defined
for
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
or
(
3)
do
not
receive
any
of
their
cooling
water
supply
from
a
surface
water
source.

Section
C
requests
facilities
to
provide
basic
design
and
operational
data
on
their
cooling
water
intake
structures
and
cooling
water
systems.
Many
of
the
questions
are
in
multiple­
choice
format.
The
following
types
of
information
are
being
requested:
total
number
of
cooling
water
intake
structures,
originating
sources
of
cooling
water,
total
cooling
water
intake
flow
rates
and
operating
days
for
a
typical
calendar
year,
total
number
of
cooling
water
systems
and
their
respective
configurations,
placement
of
cooling
water
intake
structures,
control
technologies
being
used
at
intake
structures,
and
whether
facility
or
firm
owners
have
ever
conducted
or
commissioned
environmental
or
ecological
studies
of
the
potential
impacts
of
any
of
their
cooling
water
intake
structures.
Section
D
requests
facility
and
firm
economic
data.

Confidential
Business
Information
You
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
for
some
or
all
of
your
responses
to
the
short
technical
questionnaire,
as
described
in
40
CFR
2.203(
b)
(
see
full
text
below).
Complete
regulations
governing
confidentiality
of
business
information
(
CBI)
appear
in
40
CFR,
Part
2,
Subpart
B.

40
CFR
2.203(
b)
Method
and
time
of
asserting
business
confidentiality
claim.
A
business
which
is
submitting
information
to
EPA
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
covering
the
information
by
placing
on
(
or
attaching
to)
the
information,
at
the
time
it
is
submitted
to
EPA,
a
cover
sheet,
stamped
or
typed
legend,
or
other
suitable
form
of
notice
employing
language
such
as
`
trade
secret,'
`
proprietary,'
or
`
company
confidential.'
Allegedly
confidential
portions
of
otherwise
nonconfidential
documents
should
be
clearly
identified
by
the
business,
and
may
be
submitted
separately
to
facilitate
identification
and
handling
by
EPA.
If
the
business
desires
confidential
treatment
only
until
a
certain
date
or
until
the
occurrence
of
a
certain
event,
the
notice
should
so
state.

You
may
claim
confidentiality
of
business
information
for
any
of
your
responses
by
one
of
the
methods
described
above.
If
no
claim
of
confidentiality
has
been
made,
EPA
may
make
the
data
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice.
Please
note
that
you
may
be
required
to
justify
any
claim
of
confidentiality
at
a
later
time.
Note,
however,
that
certain
types
of
information
cannot
be
considered
confidential
under
the
CWA
(
e.
g.,
facility
location,
water
body,
water
body
type,
intake
flow
data).

If
EPA
reveals
information
covered
by
a
claim
of
confidentiality,
the
Agency
will
strictly
follow
the
requirements
and
procedures
set
forth
in
40
CFR
Part
2,
Subpart
B.
Overall,
EPA
may
reveal
submitted
information
protected
by
a
CBI
claim
only
to
other
employees,
officers,
or
authorized
representatives
of
the
United
States
who
are
responsible
for
implementation
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.
EPA
has
extensive
standard
operating
procedures
in
place
to
handle,
store,
and
transmit
CBI
data
and
has
a
long
history
of
successfully
managing
this
type
of
information.
In
addition,
personnel
expected
to
handle
CBI
data
are
required
by
the
Agency
to
be
trained
and
certified.

Agency
contractors
will
have
access
to
CBI
data
so
that
work
can
be
performed
under
their
contracts
relative
to
the
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking.
All
EPA
contracts
require
that
contractor
employees
must
use
CBI
data
only
to
perform
work
specified
by
EPA.
The
information
is
not
to
be
shown
to
anyone,
other
than
EPA
officials,
without
prior
written
approval
having
been
received
from
the
affected
business
or
from
EPA's
legal
office.

Definition:
"
Design
intake
flow"
is
the
total
capacity
of
the
cooling
water
intake
structures.
A
cooling
water
intake
structure
is
an

structure
that
withdraws
any
portion
of
water
for
cooling
purposes,
even
if
a
large
portion
of
that
water
is
used
for
non­
cooling
purposes.
For
example,
if
an
intake
structure
(
e.
g.,
seachest,
deepwell)
has
one
or
more
lines
&
pumps
withdrawing
from
it,
some
supplying
cooling
systems,
and
some
not,
the
capacity
of
all
pumps
withdrawing
through
the
intake
structure
would
be
counted.
If
a
fire
main
or
a
ballast
tank
is
supplied
through
a
separate
intake
structure
(
e.
g.
simple
pipe,
seachest,

that
does
not
have
any
lines

pumps
supplying
cooling
water,
that
capacity
would
not
be
counted
(
this
situation
may
occur
on
fixed

for
example).

For
each
cooling
water
intake
structure
(
CWIS),
please
provide
in
the
table
below,
for
a
typical
calendar
year
since
January
1,
2000,
the
design
intake
capacity
(
gpd),
the
average
daily
intake
flow
rate
(
gpd),
and
the
total
number
of
days
per
year
that
each
cooling
water
intake
structure
was
operational.
Note:
Please
provide
actual
data
to
the
extent
they
are
readily
available;
otherwise,
best
engineering
estimates
may
be
provided.
For
design
capacity
and
average
flow,
if
you
do
not
report
in
gallons
per
day,
be
sure
to
report
the
units
you
used.
If
you
need
more
lines
to
add
cooling
water
intake
structures,
either
duplicate
the
table
or
extend
the
table
below.
The
table
should
list
all
cooling
water
intake
structures
at
the
facility.

Definition:
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
a
typical
calendar
year
is
one
in
which
the
facility
and
its
cooling
water
intake
structures
are
operated
in
a
normal,
routine,
regular,
or
otherwise
standard
fashion.
The
data
provided
should
apply
to
recent
calendar
years
of
operation
or
to
projected,
near
future
years
of
operation
(
i.
e.,
2000
to
2002).

Definition:
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
term
operating
days
refers
to
the
total
number
of
days
(
1
day
=
24
hours)
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
was
operational
during
a
calendar
year,
excluding
any
days
the
intake
structure
was
offline
for
routine
maintenance
or
otherwise
was
not
operational.

Note:
Operating
days
may
be
determined
by
adding
the
number
of
hours
the
CWIS
was
operational
during
the
year
and
then
dividing
by
24
hours
per
day
to
get
the
total
number
of
operating
days.
For
example,
if
a
CWIS
has
operated
5,840
hours
during
the
calendar
year,
the
total
hours
divided
by
24
hours
per
day
are
equal
to
243
calendar
days.
The
average
daily
intake
flow
rate
should
apply
only
to
the
days
when
the
CWIS
was
operational.

contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
water,
including
water
used
for
air
conditioning,
equipment
cooling,
and
dilution
of
effluent
heat
content.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
absorb
waste

or
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
facility's
premises.

Cooling
Water
Discharge
Outfall:
The
total
structure
used
to
direct
water
that
has
been
used
for
contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
purposes
within
a
facility
into
Waters
of
the
United
States.

more
than
one
generating
unit.
If
a
plant
has
intake
structures
that
withdraw
water
for
purposes

Why
This
Questionnaire?

The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
currently
developing
regulations
under
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act,
33
U.
S.
C.,
Section
1326(
b).
Section
316(
b)
provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or
306
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
CWA)
and
applicable
to
a
point
source
require
that
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflect
the
best
technology
available
(
BTA)
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.
Answers
to
the
enclosed
questionnaire
will
help
EPA
identify
the
types
and
sizes
of
facilities
that
are
subject
to
Section
316(
b).

Answers
to
the
enclosed
economic
questionnaire
will
help
EPA
to
assess
the
potential
impacts
of
compliance
with
cooling
water
intake
structure
guidelines
(
under
the
authority
of
Section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA)
on
the
economic
viability
of
all
affected
facilities.

Specifically,
EPA
needs
to
determine
how
many
facilities
are
likely
to
experience
adverse
economic
impacts
as
a
result
of
compliance
with
regulations,
how
large
the
economic
impacts
will
be,
and
if
these
impacts
will
be
more
severe
for
facilities
owned
by
small
firms
than
those
owned
by
non­
small
firms.
In
order
to
evaluate
the
full
economic
impact
of
the
regulation,
EPA
will
consider
the
costs
associated
with
performing
Section
316(
b)
studies,
additions
to
cooling
water
intake
equipment,
operating
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
the
regulation,
and
any
impacts
of
Section
316(
b)
compliance
requirements
on
the
facility's
economic
efficiency.
EPA
will
estimate
compliance
cost
impacts
on
facility
cash
flows
and
assess
the
likelihood
of
full
or
partial
facility
closures
as
a
result
of
the
regulation.
EPA
needs
the
information
requested
in
this
part
of
the
survey
in
order
to
conduct
these
analyses.

This
questionnaire
requests
information
about
each
facility.
Frequently,
your
accountant
or
comptroller
is
the
best
source
of
this
kind
of
information.
You
may
need
to
contact
your
headquarters
for
some
of
the
information
requested.

Please
note
that
it
is
not
the
intent
of
EPA
to
require
facility
personnel
to
go
to
unusual
lengths
to
retrieve
information
to
respond
to
this
questionnaire.
Responses
should
be
based
on
data
that
can
be
accessed
from
facility
records
with
reasonable
diligence.

The
enclosed
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
consists
of
four
main
sections.
Section
A
requests
general
facility
information,
such
as
facility
name,
location,
Standard
Industrial
Classification
(
SIC)
codes
and
lease
number
and
location.
Section
B
requests
platform
income
statement
and
capital
expenditure
information
for
1998,
1999,
2000,
2001,
and
2002.
Facilities
are
also
requested
to
projected
platform
revenues
and
costs
for
the
next
five
years.
Section
C
requests
platform
balance
sheet
information
for
2000,
2001,
and
2002.
Information
such
as
inventories,
current
assets,
non
current
assets,
current
liabilities,
and
owner
equities.
Section
D
requests
miscellaneous
platform
information
such
as
platform

time
equivalent
employees,
total
number
of
production
wells
drilled,
estimated
number
of
production
wells
to
be
drilled
over
the
next
five
years,
number
of
future
wells,
hydrocarbon
production,
and
production
levels
of
oil
and
natural
gas
in
the
final

questionnaire,
as
described
in

Part
2,
Subpart
B.

40
CFR
2.203(
b)
Method
and
time
of
asserting
business
confidentiality
claim.
A
business
which
is
submitting
information
to
EPA
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
covering
the
information
by
placing
on
(
or
attaching
to)
the
information,
at
the
time
it
is
submitted
to
EPA,
a
cover
sheet,
stamped
or
typed
legend,
or
other
suitable
form
of
notice
employing
language
such
as
`
trade
secret,'
`
proprietary,'
or
`
company
confidential.'
Allegedly
confidential
portions
of
otherwise
nonconfidential
documents
should
be
clearly
identified
by
the
business,
and
may
be
submitted
separately
to
facilitate
identification
and
handling
by
EPA.
If
the
business
desires
confidential
treatment
only
until
a
certain
date
or
until
the
occurrence
of
a
certain
event,
the
notice
should
so
state.

You
may
claim
confidentiality
of
business
information
for
any
of
your
responses
by
one
of
the
methods
described
above.
If
no
claim
of
confidentiality
has
been
made,
EPA
may
make
the
data
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice.
Please
note
that
you
may
be
required
to
justify
any
claim
of
confidentiality
at
a
later
time.
Note,
however,
that
certain
types
of
information
cannot
be
considered
confidential
under
the
CWA
(
e.
g.,
facility
location,
water
body,
water
body
type,
intake
flow
data).

If
EPA
reveals
information
covered
by
a
claim
of
confidentiality,
the
Agency
will
strictly
follow
the
requirements
and
procedures
set
forth
in
40
CFR
Part
2,
Subpart
B.
Overall,
EPA
may
reveal
submitted
information
protected
by
a
CBI
claim
only
to
other
employees,
officers,
or
authorized
representatives
of
the
United
States
who
are
responsible
for
implementation
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.
EPA
has
extensive
standard
operating
procedures
in
place
to
handle,
store,
and
transmit
CBI
data
and
has
a
long
history
of
successfully
managing
this
type
of
information.
In
addition,
personnel
expected
to
handle
CBI
data
are
required
by
the
Agency
to
be
trained
and
certified.

Agency
contractors
will
have
access
to
CBI
data
so
that
work
can
be
performed
under
their
contracts
relative
to
the
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking.
All
EPA
contracts
require
that
contractor
employees
must
use
CBI
data
only
to
perform
work
specified
by
EPA.
The
information
is
not
to
be
shown
to
anyone,
other
than
EPA
officials,
without
prior
written
approval
having
been
received
from
the
affected
business
or
from
EPA's
legal
office.

Note:
Cooling
water
may
be
derived
from
several
sources
and
be
commingled
before
being
used
for

purposes.
If
any
portion
of
such
commingled
cooling
water
was
derived
from
surface
water
through
the
platform's
own
intake
structure,
it
should
be
considered

NOTE:
The
following
terms
are
defined
for
purposes
of
this
questionnaire
only.
The
definitions
at
present
do
not
have
any
legal
meaning
with
respect
to
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.

Annual
Cooling
Water
Intake
Flow
Rate:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
divided
by
the
number
of
days
the
intake
was
operating.

Average
Daily
Intake
Flow:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
over
a
24­
hour
day.

Contact
Cooling
Water:
Cooling
water
that
directly
meets
any
raw
material,
intermediate
product,
finished
product,
by­
product,
or
water
product
as
part
of
a
facility's
operation.

Cooling
Operations:
Activities
that
transfer
heat
from
one
medium
or
activity
to
cooling
water
(
with
the
exception
of
nonprocess
air
conditioning).

Cooling
Water:
Refers
to
both
contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
water,
including
water
used
for
air
conditioning,
equipment
cooling,
evaporative
cooling
tower
makeup,
and
dilution
of
effluent
heat
content.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
absorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
the
process
or
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
plant's
premises.

Cooling
Water
Discharge
Outfall:
The
total
structure
used
to
direct
water
that
has
been
used
for
contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
purposes
within
a
facility
into
Waters
of
the
United
States.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Flow
Rate:
The
total
volume
of

water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
over
a
specific
time­
period.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Structure:
The
total
structure
and
associated
technologies
used

up
to
the
point
of
the
first
intake
pump
or
series
of
pumps.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
adsorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
plant's
premises.
Single
cooling
water
intake
structures
might
have
multiple
intake
bays
and
could
serve
more
than
one
generating
unit.
If
a
plant
has
intake
structures
that
withdraw
water
for
purposes
besides
cooling,
the
entire
intake
structure
should
be
considered
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
under
the
questionnaire.

Cooling
Water
System:
A
system
that
provides
water
to/
from
a
plant

General

Why
This
Questionnaire?

The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
currently
developing
regulations
under
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act,
33
U.
S.
C.,
Section
1326(
b).
Section
316(
b)
provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or
306
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
CWA)
and
applicable
to
a
point
source
require
that
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflect
the
best
technology
available
(
BTA)
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.
Answers
to
the
enclosed
questionnaire
will
help
EPA
identify
the
types
and
sizes
of
MODUs
that
are
subject
to
Section
316(
b).

Answers
to
the
enclosed
economic
questionnaire
will
help
EPA
to
assess
the
potential
impacts
of
compliance
with
cooling
water
intake
structure
guidelines
(
under
the
authority
of
Section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA)
on
the
economic
viability
of
all
affected
facilities.

Specifically,
EPA
needs
to
determine
how
many
MODUs
are
likely
to
experience
adverse
economic
impacts
as
a
result
of
compliance
with
regulations,
how
large
the
economic
impacts
will
be,
and
if
these
impacts
will
be
more
severe
for
facilities
owned
by
small
firms
than
those
owned
by
non­
small
firms.
In
order
to
evaluate
the
full
economic
impact
of
the
regulation,
EPA
will
consider
the
costs
associated
with
performing
Section
316(
b)
studies,
additions
to
cooling
water
intake
equipment,
operating
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
the
regulation,
and
any
impacts
of
Section
316(
b)
compliance
requirements
on
the
MODU's
economic
efficiency.
EPA
will
estimate
compliance
cost
impacts
on
MODU
cash
flows
and
assess
the
likelihood
of
full
or
partial
facility
closures
as
a
result
of
the
regulation.
EPA
needs
the
information
requested
in
this
part
of
the
survey
in
order
to
conduct
these
analyses.

This
questionnaire
requests
information
about
each
MODU.
Frequently,
your
accountant
or
comptroller
is
the
best
source
of
this
kind
of
information.
You
may
need
to
contact
your
headquarters
for
some
of
the
information
requested.

Please
note
that
it
is
not
the
intent
of
EPA
to
require
personnel
to
go
to
unusual
lengths
to
retrieve
information
to
respond
to
this
questionnaire.
Responses
should
be
based
on
data
that
can
be
accessed
from
records
with
reasonable
diligence.

The
enclosed
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire
consists
of
five
main
sections.
Section
A
requests
general
MODU
information,
such
as
MODU
name,
location,
and
Standard
Industrial
Classification
(
SIC)
codes.
Section
B
requests
information
about
the
MODU's
owner
such
as
owner's
name
and
location,
name
of
domestic
parent
firm,
domestic
parent
firm
financial
data
for
2000,
2001,
and
2002,
and
number
of
fulltime
equivalent
employee.
Section
C
requests
information
on
the
MODU's
revenue
and
costs
for
the
last
three
years
such
as
total
fixed
costs,
total
variable
operating
costs,
depreciation
expenses,
and
total
capital
expenditures.
Section
D
requests
the
MODU
balance
sheet
such
as
inventories,
current
assets,
non­
current
assets,
liabilities,
and
owner
equity.
Section
E
requests
miscellaneous
information
such
as
the
number
of
full
time
employee,
expected
remaining
useful
life
of
the
MODU,
last
downtime
due
to
MODU
overhaul/
significant
capital
expenditure,
and
MODU

b)
Method
and
time
of
asserting
business
confidentiality
claim.
A
business
which
is
submitting
information
to
EPA
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
covering
the
information
by
placing
on
(
or
attaching
to)
the
information,
at
the
time
it
is
submitted
to
EPA,
a
cover
sheet,
stamped
or
typed
legend,
or
other
suitable
form
of
notice
employing
language
such
as
`
trade
secret,'
`
proprietary,'
or
`
company
confidential.'
Allegedly
confidential
portions
of
otherwise
nonconfidential
documents
should
be
clearly
identified
by
the
business,
and
may
be
submitted
separately
to
facilitate
identification
and
handling
by
EPA.
If
the
business
desires
confidential
treatment
only
until
a
certain
date
or
until
the
occurrence
of
a
certain
event,
the
notice
should
so
state.

You
may
claim
confidentiality
of
business
information
for
any
of
your
responses
by
one
of
the
methods
described
above.
If
no
claim
of
confidentiality
has
been
made,
EPA
may
make
the
data
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice.
Please
note
that
you
may
be
required
to
justify
any
claim
of
confidentiality
at
a
later
time.
Note,
however,
that
certain
types
of
information
cannot
be
considered
confidential
under
the
CWA
(
e.
g.,
vessel
location,
water
body,
water
body
type,
intake
flow
data).

If
EPA
reveals
information
covered
by
a
claim
of
confidentiality,
the
Agency
will
strictly
follow
the
requirements
and
procedures
set
forth
in
40
CFR
Part
2,
Subpart
B.
Overall,
EPA
may
reveal
submitted
information
protected
by
a
CBI
claim
only
to
other
employees,
officers,
or
authorized
representatives
of
the
United
States
who
are
responsible
for
implementation
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.
EPA
has
extensive
standard
operating
procedures
in
place
to
handle,
store,
and
transmit
CBI
data
and
has
a
long
history
of
successfully
managing
this
type
of
information.
In
addition,
personnel
expected
to
handle
CBI
data
are
required
by
the
Agency
to
be
trained
and
certified.

Agency
contractors
will
have
access
to
CBI
data
so
that
work
can
be
performed
under
their
contracts
relative
to
the
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking.
All
EPA
contracts
require
that
contractor
employees
must
use
CBI
data
only
to
perform
work
specified
by
EPA.
The
information
is
not
to
be
shown
to
anyone,
other
than
EPA
officials,
without
prior
written
approval
having
been
received
from
the
affected
business
or
from
EPA's
legal
office.

DEFINITION
For
the
purposes
of
this
questionnaire,
the
domestic
parent
firm
is
the
highest
level
domestic
business
entity
in
the
MODU's
organizational
structure.
A
firm
that
is
owned
by
another
U.
S.
firm
is
not
a
domestic
parent
firm.
On
the
contrary,
a
U.
S.
firm
that
is
owned
by
a
foreign
firm
is
a
domestic
parent
firm.

MODU
Revenues

The
rest
of
the
questionnaire
asks
for
data
about
your
MODU.
Your
firm,
however,
may
not
customarily
compile
financial
reports
at
the
level
of
your
MODU.
In
that
case,
MODU­
level
information
must
be
estimated
from
data
reported
at
the
level
closest
to
your
MODU.
This
may
be
a
division,
an
entire
firm,
or
some
other
business
unit.

You
should
report
information
about
your
MODU
either
from
compiled
reports
or
by
estimating
MODUlevel
data.
If
you
have
to
estimate
MODU
data,
you
may
use
any
method
and
information
that,
in
your
opinion,
will
yield
the
best
estimate
of
MODU­

data.
If

Instructions
for
estimating
MODU
data:
If
you
need
to
estimate
MODU
data,
you
may
use
any
method
and
information
that,
in
your
opinion,
will
yield
the
best
estimate
of
MODU­
level
data.
If
no
such
method
or
information
is
available,
you
should
estimate
MODU
data
from
financial
reports
for
the
business
unit
that
is
closest
to
your
MODU
in
terms
of
business
activities
performed.
Please
estimate
MODU
data
by
multiplying
that
business
unit's
numbers
by
the
ratio
of
your
MODU's
revenues
to
that
business
unit's
revenues.
That
is:

If
revenues
are
not
available,
then
use
the
ratio
of
production
costs.

of
this
questionnaire,
the
term
cooling
water
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
water
refers
to
water
used
for
cooling
purposes
that
is
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
water
through
one
or
more

structures
located
at
this
MODU.

Note:
Cooling
water
may
be
derived
from
several
sources
and
be
commingled
before
being
used
for
cooling
purposes.
If
any
portion
of
such
commingled
cooling
water
was
derived
from
surface
water
through
the
MODU's
own
intake
structure,
it
should
be
considered

Water
Act.

Annual
Cooling
Water
Intake
Flow
Rate:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
divided
by
the
number
of
days
the
intake
was
operating.

Average
Daily
Intake
Flow:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
over
a
24­
hour
day.

Contact
Cooling
Water:
Cooling
water
that
directly
meets
any
raw
material,
intermediate
product,
finished
product,
by­
product,
or
water
product
as
part
of
a
facility's
operation.

Cooling
Operations:
Activities
that
transfer
heat
from
one
medium
or
activity
to
cooling
water
(
with
the
exception
of
nonprocess
air
conditioning).

Cooling
Water:
Refers
to
both
contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
water,
including
water
used
for
air
conditioning,
equipment
cooling,
evaporative
cooling
tower
makeup,
and
dilution
of
effluent
heat
content.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
absorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
the
process
or
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
plant's
premises.

Cooling
Water
Discharge
Outfall:
The
total
structure
used
to
direct
water
that
has
been
used
for
contact
and
non­
contact
cooling
purposes
within
a
facility
into
Waters
of
the
United
States.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Flow
Rate:
The
total
volume
of
cooling
water
withdrawn
by
a
specific
intake
structure
over
a
specific
time­
period.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Structure:
The
total
structure
and
associated
technologies
used
to
direct
water
from
a
water
body
into
a
plant
up
to
the
point
of
the
first
intake
pump
or
series
of
pumps.
The
intended
use
of
the
cooling
water
is
to
adsorb
waste
heat
rejected
from
processes
employed
or
from
auxiliary
operations
on
the
plant's
premises.
Single
cooling
water
intake
structures
might
have
multiple
intake
bays
and
could
serve
more
than
one
generating
unit.
If
a
plant
has
intake
structures
that
withdraw
water
for
purposes
besides
cooling,
the
entire
intake
structure
should
be
considered
a
cooling
water
intake
structure
under
the
questionnaire.

Cooling
Water
System:
A
system
that
provides
water
to/
from
a
plant
to

therein.
The
system
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to,
water
intake
and
outlet
structures,
cooling
towers,
ponds,
pumps,
pipes,
and
canals/
channels.
For
plants
that
use
surface
water
for
cooling,
a
system
begins
at
the
first
barrier(
s)
to
ingress
and/
or
egress
by
fish
and
other
aquatic
wildlife
(
e.
g.,
at
the

Question
No.
Type
of

Justification
of
Question
1
Data
Verification
The
data
sources
used
to
develop
the
sample
frame
are
varied
in
their
completeness
and
quality.
Moreover,
as
changes
in
ownership
may
or
may
not
be
captured
in
the
data
sources,
EPA
needs
to
verify
that
the
identification
information
is
up­
to­
date
and
correct.
2
Data
Verification
The
purpose
of
the
question
is
to
identify
a
point
of
contact
in
case
a
specific
vessel
must
be
contacted
regarding
the
contents
of
its
completed
technical
questionnaire
package.
EPA's
survey
experience
suggests
that
call
backs
are
often
necessary
to
clarify
respondent
data.
3
Scoping
The
data
sources
used
to
develop
the
sample
frame
are
varied
in
their
completeness
and
quality.
Therefore,
changes
could
have
occurred
in
the
operational
status
of
a
facility.
It
would
not
be
worthwhile
to
survey
facilities
that
are
not
currently
operational
or
ready
for
service.
For
example,
an
older
platform
may
have
been
decommissioned
and
its
wells
capped.
Facilities
responding
negatively
to
Q.
3.
are
instructed
not
to
complete
the
remainder
of
this
questionnaire.
4
Scoping
Facilities
in
the
coastal
and
offshore
oil
&
gas
extraction
industry
are,
by
an
large,
required
to
have
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permits
(
even
if
"
zero
discharge"
of
produced
water
is
required).
If
a
facility
responds
negatively
to
Q.
4,
EPA
will
assume
that
it
is
not
a
point
source
under
the
CWA
and
is,
therefore,
not
subject
to
316(
b).
(
The
possibility
remains,
however,
that
EPA
will
be
excluding
facilities
that
are
new
point
sources
not
yet
permitted
or
are
point
sources
missed
in
the
permitting
process.
EPA
is
hopeful,
however,
that
such
occurrences
will
be
minimal.)

If
a
facility
responds
negatively
to
Q.
4,
it
will
be
exempted
from
completing
the
remainder
of
the
questionnaire.
5

technical
questionnaire.
If
a
facility
has
not
used
cooling
water
during
the
past
three
years,
it
is
unlikely
to
have
cooling
water
intake
structures
and
is
therefore
unlikely
to
be
subject
to
316(
b)
requirements.
EPA
anticipates,
given
what
is
known
about
the
uses
of
cooling
water
in
this
industry
from
industry
sources,
that
most
if
not
all
operating
faciities
will
respond
positively
to
this
question.

If
a
facility
responds
negatively
to
Q.
5,
it
will
be
exempted
from
completing
the
remainder
of
the
questionnaire.

EPA
is
requesting
respondents
to
answer
Q.
5
based
on
whether
they
have
used
cooling
water
at
anytime
since
January
1,
2000.
The
period
of
three
years
was
determined
to
be
a
reasonable
time
period
over
which
to
evaluate
cooling
water
use
and
the
potential
for
use
in
the
future.
6
Scoping
Along
with
Qs.
4
and
5,
this
question
is
a
major
scoping
question.
For
those
facilities
that
are
point
sources
and
use
cooling
water,
it
attempts
to
identify
those
that
directly
obtain
their
cooling
water
from
surface
water.
EPA
anticipates
that
all
facilities
responding
positively
to
Qs.
4
and
5
will
also
respond
positively
to
this
question.

If
a
vessel
does
not
obtain
any
of
its
cooling
water
from
a
surface
water
source
considered
waters
of
the
United
States
(
the
primary
focus
of
the
CWA),
it
does
not
fall
under
the
scope
of
Section
316(
b).
Therefore,
facilities
responding
negatively
to
Q.
6
will
be
exempted
from
completing
the
remainder
of
the
questionnaire.

for
cooling
water
intakes.

To
date,
EPA
has
little
data
indicating
the
total
amounts
of
water
used
by
fixed
platforms,
and
the
quantities
indicated
by
preliminary
research
vary
widely.
This
data
will
help
EPA
to
characterize
the
numbers
of
in­
scope
facilities
using
specific
quantities
of
surface
water
for
cooling
purposes.
8
Characterization

During
Rule
Development
Question
8
asks
respondents
to
list
components
of
design
intake
flow
of
a
CWIS
that
are
used
intermittently
or
infrequently,
and
to
estimate
the
percentage
of
the
time
these
are
used
(
i.
e.,
capacity
utilization).

The
maximum
capacity
of
an
intake
structure
(
design
intake
flow)
is
a
very
important
factor
in
adverse
environmental
impact.
However,
some
facilities
use
their
maximum
capacity
rarely,
or
may
operate
during
only
part
of
the
year.
In
the
Phase
II
proposed
rule,
EPA
proposed
less
stringent
requirements
for
power
producers
having
less
than
15%
capacity
utilization.
Partial
utilization
of
capacity
is
also
a
consideration
for
Phase
III
facilities.
EPA
is
concerned
that
the
utilization
of
the
design
capacity
be
accounted
for.
That
cannot
be
done
accurately
or
fairly
if
only
the
design
and
the
average
intake
flows
are
known.

Q.
9
asks
facilities
to
indicate
the
installed
power
generation
capacity
in
horsepower.
Installed
power
generation
capacity
is
believed
to
be
the
single
most
important
determinant
of
the
cooling
water
requirement
for
an
oil
&
gas
extraction
facility.
To
better
understand
the
relationship
between
cooling
water
use
and
power
generation
capacity,
and
to
arrive
at
closer
estimates
of
proportion
of
total
water
used
for
engine
cooling,
EPA
believes
it
is
necessary
to
obtain
this
information.
This
information
is
not
available
through
publicly
available
sources.

Characterization

During

Development,
Evaluation
of
Environmental
Benefits
of
Possible
Technology
Requirements
The
types
of
surface
water
bodies
from
which
cooling
water
is
withdrawn
and
the
locations
within
the
waterbody
where
water
is
withdrawn
influence
the
degree
to
which
adverse
impacts
might
occur
from
a
specific
cooling
water
intake
structure.
These
are
important
variables
affecting
environmental
impacts
of
cooling
water
intake
structures.

The
data
from
this
section
will
help
EPA
characterize
the
numbers
of
in­
scope
facilities
using
various
types
of
surface
water
for
cooling
purposes.
This
will
suggest
the
magnitude
of
the
problems
at
hand
and
possible
implementation
approaches.
For
example,
it
is
generally
accepted
that
cooling
water
intakes
facilities
located
on
estuarine
habitats
have
a
greater
potential
to
cause
adverse
impacts
than
those
located
in
the
ocean.
The
data
also
provides
a
means
to
EPA
to
evaluate
regulatory
impacts
if
proposed
approaches
are
to
be
based
on
types
of
source
water
as
was
done
for
the
Phase
I
final
rule
and
Phase
II

asks
for
the
longitude
and

of
the
facility
location.

This
information
will
be
used
to
evaluate
the
environmental

The
purpose
of
this
question
is
to
identify
the
total
number
of
intake
structures
a
facility
is
using
to
withdraw
contact
or
noncontact
cooling
water
from
surface
water.
EPA
wants
to
make
sure
the
survey

characterizes
the
full
range
of
facilities
and
intake
configurations;

The
question
is
also
intended
to
serve
as
a
cross­
check
of
data
reported
under
subsequent
questions
on
cooling
water
intake
structures.

Characterization
to

During

Development,
Evaluation

Potential

Evaluation
of
Capacity
Utilization
Q.
14
asks
the
respondent
to
quantify,
for
each
cooling
water
intake,
its
design
capacity
and
average
flow
and
the
number
of
days
it
operates
per
year.

The
maximum
capacity
of
an
intake
structure
(
design
intake
flow)
is
an
important
factor
in
adverse
environmental
impact.
However,
some
facilities
may
not
use
their
maximum
capacity,
or
may
operate
some
intakes
only
part­
time.
In
the
Phase
II
proposed
rule,
EPA
proposed
less
stringent
requirements
for
power
producers
having
less
than
15%
capacity
utilization.
Partial
utilization
of
capacity
is
also
a
consideration
for
Phase
III
facilities.
EPA
is
concerned
that
the
utilization
of
the
design
capacity
be
accounted
for.
That
can
be
done
accurately
and
fairly
if
only
the
design
and
the
average
intake
flows
and
operatind
days
are
known
for
each
intake.

Similar
to
the
question
regarding
types
of
surface
water
bodies
from
which
cooling
water
is
withdrawn,
intake
volume
or
flow
rate
is
among
the
most
important
variables
affecting
cooling
water
intake
structure
impacts.
The
data
from
this
section
will
directly
indicate
the
degree
to
which
adverse
impacts
might
occur
from
a
specific
cooling
water
intake
structure.

EPA
believes
three
years
is
a
reasonable
time
period
over
which
to
evaluate
yearly
cooling
water
use,
and
this
corresponds
to
the
time
frame
for
the
Economic
Questionnaire.

Characterization

Q.
15
asks
the

including
the

s)
of

strainers
at
the
entry
to
the

EPA
will
use
the
data
from
these
questions
to
characterize
the
variety
of
cooling
water
system
configurations
and
technological
designs
found
on
cooling

For
example,
if
EPA
is
able
to
tier
regulatory
options
based
on
the
potential
of
a
CWIS
to
cause
an
adverse
impact,
then
facilities
with
low

ranges
or
existing

technologies
might
have

than
facilities
withdrawing

at

high

The
financial
information
in
Part

of
the
Detailed

is
generally
requested
for
three
years.
EPA
requires
multiple
years
of

and
also
to
reflect
the
fact
that
MODU

The
operational
model
for
coastal
and
offshore
oil
and
gas
platforms
is
characterized
by
different
phases
of
activity
with
different
revenue
and
production
profiles
and
varying
capital
outlay
requirements.
In
addition,
platforms
have
a
finite
economic
life
defined
by
the
estimated
total
quantity
and
value
of
the
recoverable
resource
on
which
they
operate.
EPA
requires
the

to
establish
a
platform's
phase
of
operation
in
order
to
accurately
model
the
economic
characteristics
of

the
platform
owner/
operator's
ability
to
incur
the
additional
capital
outlays
and
increased
O&

for
compliance
technologies.
Because
of
the
differences
in
the
economic
and
operational
characteristics
of
platforms
as
compared
to
other
entities
subject
to
the
regulation,
revisions
to
the

Question
18
requests
information
regarding
the
termination
of
platform
activities.
Termination
of
platform
production
requires
a
substantial
outlay
for
properly
capping
of
wells
and
removal
of
production
equipment.
As
partial
offset
to
these
outlays,
the
platform
and
other
equipment
may
have
substantial
salvage
value.
Properly
accounting
for
this
significant,
future
financial
event
is
essential
in
understanding
the
financial
value
of
the
hydrocarbon
project
and
how
the
value
may
change
as
a
result
of
the
capital
outlays
and
operating
expenses
for
regulatory
compliance.
Proper
recognition
and
treatment
of
decommissioning
outlays
will
be
very
important
if
compliance
requirements
could
alter
the
economic
life
of
a
production
platform.

of
Question
1
Data
Verification
The
data
sources
used
to
develop
the
sample
frame
are
varied
in
their
completeness
and
quality.
Moreover,
as
changes
in
ownership
may
or
may
not
be
captured
in
the
data
sources,
EPA
needs
to
verify
that
the
vessel
identification
information
is
up­
to­
date
and
correct.
2
Data
Verification
The
purpose
of
the
question
is
to
identify
a
point
of
contact
in
case
a
specific
vessel
must
be
contacted
regarding
the
contents
of
its
completed
technical
questionnaire
package.
EPA's
survey
experience
suggests
that
call
backs
are
often
necessary
to
clarify
respondent
data.
3
Scoping
The
data
sources
used
to
develop
the
sample
frame
are
varied
in
their
completeness
and
quality.
Therefore,
changes
could
have
occurred
in
the
operational
status
of
a
vessel.
It
would
not
be
worthwhile
to
survey
vessels
that
are
not
currently
operational
as
seafood
processing
vessels.
For
example,
vessels
may
be
converted
to
uses
other
than
seafood
processing
but
still
considered
"
in
commercial
service."
Vessels
responding
negatively
to
Q.
3.
will
be
exempted
from
completing
the
remainder
of
this
questionnaire.
4
Scoping
Vessels
engaged
in
seafood
processing
and
directly
discharging
pollutants
to
waters
of
the
United
States
are
required
to
have
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permits
(
subject
to
certain
thresholds
for
quantity
of
waste
discharged
as
determined
by
permitting
authorities).
If
a
vessel
responds
negatively
to
Q.
4,
EPA
will
assume
that
it
is
not
a
point
source
under
the
CWA
and
is,
therefore,
not
subject
to
316(
b).
(
The
possibility
remains,
however,
that
EPA
will
be
excluding
facilities
that
are
new
point
sources
not
yet
permitted
or
are
point
sources
missed
in
the
permitting
process.
EPA
is
hopeful,
however,
that
such
occurrences
will
be
minimal)

If
a
facility
responds

5
Scoping
This
is
one
of
the
major
scoping
questions
under
the
technical
questionnaire.
Obviously,
if
a
vessel
has
not
used
cooling
water
during
the
past
three
years,
it
is
unlikely
to
have
cooling
water
intake
structures
and
is
therefore
unlikely
to
be
subject
to
316(
b)
requirements.
EPA
anticipates,
given
what
is
known
about
the
uses
of
cooling
water
in
this
industry
from
public
sources,
that
most
operating
vessels
will
answer
this
question
affirmatively.

If
a
vessel
responds
negatively
to
Q.
5,
it
will
be
exempted
from
completing
the
remainder
of
the
questionnaire.

EPA
is
requesting
respondents
to
answer
Q.
5
based
on
whether
they
have
used
cooling
water
at
anytime
since
January
1,
2000.
The
period
of
approximately
three
years
was
determined
to
be
a
reasonable
time
period
over
which
to
evaluate
cooling
water
use
and
the
potential
for
use
in
the
future,
considering
the
seasonal
and
sometimes
intermittent
nature
of
seafood
processing.
6
Scoping
Along
with
Qs.
4
and
5,
this
question
is
a
major
scoping
question
under
the
technical
questionnaire.
For
those
vessels
that
are
point
sources
and
use
cooling
water,
it
attempts
to
identify
those
that
directly
obtain
their
cooling
water
from
surface
water
sources.
EPA
anticipates
that
most
vessels
responding
positively
to
Qs.
4
and
5
will
also
respond
affirmatively
to
this
question.

If
a
vessel
does
not
obtain
any
of
its
cooling
water
from
a
surface
water
source
considered
waters
of
the
United
States
(
the
primary
focus
of
the
CWA),
it
does
not
fall
under
the
scope
of
Section
316(
b).
Therefore,
vessels
responding
negatively
to
Q.

will
be
exempted
from

the
questionnaire.

of
water
used
by
seafood
processing
vessels,
and
the
quantities
indicated
by
preliminary
research
vary
widely.
This
data
will
help
EPA
to
characterize
the
numbers
of
in­
scope
facilities
using
surface
water
for
cooling
purposes.

Vessels
that
have
a

will
be

and
the
Economic

but
will
complete
Section

which
is
needed
if
EPA
is
to
meet
its
obligations
under
SBREFA.
The
figure
of
2

is
based
upon
the
threshold
selected
in
the
Phase
I
(
new

final
rule
for
cooling
water
intakes.

8
Characterization
to
Support
Technical
Decisions
During
Rule
Development
Question
8
asks
respondents
to
list
components
of
design
intake
flow
of
a
CWIS
that
are
used
intermittently
or
infrequently,
and
to
estimate
the
percentage
of
the
time
these
are
used
(
i.
e.,
capacity
utilization).

The
maximum
capacity
of
an
intake
structure
(
design
intake
flow)
is
a
very
important
factor
in
adverse
environmental
impact.
However,
some
vessels
may
use
their
maximum
capacity
rarely,
or
may
operate
during
only
part
of
the
year.
In
the
Phase
II
proposed
rule,
EPA
proposed
less
stringent
requirements
for
power
producers
having
less
than
15%
capacity
utilization.
Partial
utilization
of
capacity
is
also
a
consideration
for
Phase
III
facilities.
EPA
is
concerned
that
the
utilization
of
the
design
capacity
be
accounted
for.
That
cannot
be
done
accurately
or
fairly
if
only
the
design
and
the
average
intake
flows
are
known.

Q.
9
asks
vessels
to
indicate
the
installed
power
generation
capacity
in
horsepower.
Installed
power
generation
capacity
is
believed
to
be
the
single
most
important
determinant
of
the
cooling
water
requirement
for
vessels.
To
better
understand
the
relationship
between
cooling
water
use
and
power
generation
capacity,
and
to
arrive
at
closer
estimates
of
proportion
of
total
water
used
for
engine
cooling,
EPA
believes
it
is
necessary
to
obtain
this
information.

Q.
10
asks
vessels
to
indicate
types
of
activities
requiring
cooling
water
directly
withdrawn
from
surface
waters
since
January
1,
2000.
While
it
is
known
that
cooling
water
is
used
for
cooling
propulsion
mechanisms
(
engines
and
related
parts),
EPA
knows
little
about
the
variety
of
other
equipment
and
the
combinations
of
activities
requiring
cooling
water
on
seafood
processing
vessels.
This
information
is
needed
to
more
accurately
model
the
costs
of
proposed
technology
options.
11
Characterization

Evaluation
of
Environmental
Benefits
of
Possible
Technology
Requirements
The
types
of
surface
water
bodies
from
which
cooling
water
is
withdrawn
and
the
locations
within
the
waterbody
where
water
is
withdrawn
influence
the
degree
to
which
adverse
impacts
might
occur
from
a
specific
cooling
water
intake
structure.
These
are
important
variables
affecting
environmental
impacts
of
cooling
water
intake
structures.

The
data
from
this
section
will
help
EPA
characterize
the
numbers
of
in­
scope
facilities
using
various
types
of
surface
water
for
cooling
purposes.
This
will
suggest
the
magnitude
of
the
problems
at
hand
and
possible
implementation
approaches.
For
example,
it
is
generally
accepted
that
cooling
water
intakes
facilities
located
on
estuarine
habitats
have
a
greater
potential
to
cause
adverse
impacts
than
those
located
in
the
ocean.
The
data
also
provides
a
means
to
EPA
to
evaluate
regulatory
impacts
if
proposed
approaches
are
to
be
based
on
types
of
source
water
as
was
done
for
the
Phase
I

EPA
wants
to
make
sure
the
survey
data
characterizes
the
full
range
of
facilities
and
intake
configurations;
the
number
of
intakes
and
their
purposes
vary
among
facilities.
The
question
is
also
intended
to
serve
as
a
cross­
check
of
data
reported
under
subsequent
questions
on
cooling
water
intake
structures.

Q.
14
asks
the
respondent
to
quantify,
for
each
cooling
water
intake,
its
design
capacity
and
average
flow
and
the
number
of
days
it
operates
per
year.

The
maximum
capacity
of
an
intake
structure
(
design
intake
flow)
is
an
important
factor
in
adverse
environmental
impact.
However,
some
vessels
may
not
use
their
maximum
capacity,
or
may
operate
some
intakes
only
part­
time.
In
the
Phase
II
proposed
rule,
EPA
proposed
less
stringent
requirements
for
power
producers
having
less
than
15%
capacity
utilization.
Partial
utilization
of
capacity
is
also
a
consideration
for
Phase
III
facilities.
EPA
is
concerned
that
the
utilization
of
the
design
capacity
be
accounted
for.
That
can
be
done
accurately
and
fairly
if
only
the
design
and
the
average
intake
flows
and
operatind
days
are
known
for
each
intake.

Similar
to
the
question
regarding
types
of
surface
water
bodies
from
which
cooling
water
is
withdrawn,
intake
volume
or
flow
rate
is
among
the
most
important
variables
affecting
cooling
water
intake
structure
impacts.
The
data
from
this
section
will
directly
indicate
the
degree
to
which
adverse
impacts
might
occur
from
a
specific
cooling
water
intake
structure.

asks
the

to
describe
the
configuration
of
intakes,
including
the
type(

of
bars,

EPA
will
use
the

to
characterize
the

of
cooling
water
system
configurations
and
technological
designs
found
on

water
intakes
on
these

The
information
will
also
assist
EPA's

approaches
that
will
result
in

Content:
Waterborne
Commerce
of
the
United
States
(
WCUS)
is
a
series
of
publications
providing
statistics
on
the
foreign
and
domestic
waterborne
commerce
moved
on
the
United
States
waters.
These
include
the
movements
of
commodities
at
the
ports
and
harbors
and
on
the
waterways
and
canals
of
the
United
States
and
its
territories,
as
well
as
data
on
foreign
commerce.
The
domestic
geographical
areas
covered
in
WCUS
are:

Atlantic
Coast;
Gulf
Coast,
Mississippi
River
System,
Puerto
Rico
&
Virgin
Islands;

Great
Lakes;
and
Pacific
Coast
&
Alaska.

Content
Details:

a.)
The
waterborne
traffic
movements
are
reported
to
the
Corps
of
Engineers
by
all
vessel
operators
of
record
on
ENG
Forms
3925
and
3925b
(
or
equivalent).
The
reports
are
generally
submitted
on
the
basis
of
individual
vessel
movements
completed.
For
movements
with
cargo,
the
point
of
loading
and
the
point
of
unloading
of
each
individual
commodity
is
delineated.
Only
cargo
records
are
included,
as
opposed
to
information
on
catch/
process
activities.
The
information
in
the
Waterborne
Commerce
Statistics
Center
is
most
likely
akin
to
the
SIC
code
relating
to
transporation
of
goods,
as
opposed
to
SIC
2092.

The
review
showed
that
the
development
documents
contained
very
little
information
on
cooling
water,
and
no
information
on
the
characteristics
of
cooling
water
intake
structures.
Most
of
the
development
documents
only
broadly
characterized
the
total
volume
of
intake
water
for
a
particular
subcategory
of
the
industry.
Furthermore,
there
was
little
or
no
documentation
on
the
different
uses
of
the
intake
water
(
e.
g.,
process
water,
cooling
water,
etc.)
or
the
volumes
or
flows
that
could
be
attributed
to
each
use.
In
cases
where
the
development
document
did
distinguish
between
process
water
and
cooling
water,
the
document
typically
only
gave
the
percentage
of
water
used
for
noncontact
cooling
water
versus
the
percentage
for
contact
cooling
water.
Consequently,
little
information
about
cooling
water
intake
structure
characteristics
or
cooling
water
use
is
available
in
past
effluent

development
documents.

The
review
showed
that
the
development
documents
contained
very
little
information
on
cooling
water,
and
no
information
on
the
characteristics
of
cooling
water
intake
structures.
Most
of
the
development
documents
only
broadly
characterized
the
total
volume
of
intake
water
for
a
particular
subcategory
of
the
industry.
Furthermore,
there
was
little
or
no
documentation
on
the
different
uses
of
the
intake
water
(
e.
g.,
process
water,
cooling
water,
etc.)
or
the
volumes
or
flows
that
could
be
attributed
to
each
use.
In
cases
where
the
development
document
did
distinguish
between
process
water
and
cooling
water,
the
document
typically
only
gave
the
percentage
of
water
used
for
noncontact
cooling
water
versus
the
percentage
for
contact
cooling
water.
Consequently,
little
information
about
cooling
water
intake
structure
characteristics
or
cooling
water
use
is
available
in
past
effluent
guideline
development
documents.

the

executives,
and

financial
data.
These
data
are
available
for
approximately
ten
million
individual
sites
in
the
United
States
with
at
least
one
employee.
However,
the
Dun
&
Bradstreet
database
does
not
provide
information
about
unit
operations,
cooling
water
intake
structures,
water
use,
and
other
technical
data
required
for
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking
analysis.
The
database
also
does
not
include
the
required
level
of
detailed
economic
information
EPA
needs
to
support
regulatory
development.
In
addition,
EPA
has
learned
from
other
rulemaking
efforts,
such
as
the
Metal
Products
and
Machinery
effluent
guidelines,
that
there
are
significant
numbers
of
errors
in
the
Dun
&
Bradstreet
data.
EPA
will
use
the
Dun
&
Bradstreet
database
to
the
greatest
degree
possible,
but
the
limited
scope
of
the
data
and
the
frequency
of
errors
demonstrate
that
these
data
are
not
adequate
for
Section
316(
b)
rulemaking.
