"
State
Sludge

Program
Requirements"
has
been
incorporated
by
a
previous
State
Program
ICR,
however
it
is
not
being
duplicated
in
the
current
ICR.
This
ICR
also
includes
State
program
requirements
for
567
Federally
Recognized
Indian
Tribes
and
7
U.
S.
Territories.
It
was
prepared
according
to
the
guidance
contained
in
the
Office
of
Environmental
Information's
(
OEI's)
February
1999
ICR
Handbook.
This
handbook
is
the
Agency's
most
current
guidance
document
for
preparing
an
ICR
and
follows
the
provisions
of
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995
and
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
guidelines.
The
total
respondent
burden
for
the
activities
covered
in
this
ICR
is
estimated
to
equal
966,966
hours,
at
a
labor
cost
of
$
30,169,349
The
purpose
of
the
ICR
is
to
revise
and
extend
the
current
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
associated
with
State
NPDES
and
sludge
programs.
There
are
three
categories
of
reporting
requirements
that
are
the
subject
of
this
ICR:

$
State
Program
Requests.
This
category
includes
the
activities
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
must
complete
to
request
a
new
NPDES
or
sludge
program,
or
to
modify
an
existing
program;

$
State
Program
Implementation.
This
category
includes
the
activities
that
approved
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
must
complete
to
implement
an
existing
program,
such
as
recordkeeping
and
permit
enforcement
activities.
The
category
also
includes
certification
of
EPA­
issued
permits
by
non­
NPDES
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories;

$
State
Program
Oversight.
This
category
includes
the
activities
required
of
NPDES
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
so
that
EPA
may
satisfy
its
statutory
requirements
for
State
program
oversight.

$
Exhibit
1
briefly
describes
the
specific
information
activities
included
in
each
category.

1(
c)
Statutory
and
Regulatory
Background
The
objective
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
CWA)
is
to
"
restore
and
maintain
the
chemical,
physical,
and
biological
integrity
of
the
nation's
waters"
(
CWA
Section
101).
The
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
control
and
limits
discharges
of
pollutants
into
United
States
waters
from
all
point
sources.
The
NPDES
program,
established
under
CWA
Section
402,
is
an
important
tool
for
controlling
pollutant
discharges.
Under
this
program,
discharges
of
pollutants
to
waters
of
the
United
States
must
be
covered
by
an
NPDES
permit.
Permits
contain
limitations
on
the
amount
of
pollutants
dischargers
may
emit.

In
addition,
Section
405
of
the
CWA
requires
EPA
to
regulate
the
use
and
disposal
of
sludge
Page
6
produced
by
publicly
owned
treatment
works
(
POTWs)
and
other
treatment
works
treating
domestic
sewage.
These
treatment
works
must
obtain
permits
that
incorporate
EPA's
technical
standards
for
sludge
use
and
disposal.
The
sludge
requirements
may
be
included
in
the
facility's
NPDES
permit,
or
they
may
be
included
in
a
separate
"
sludge­
only"
permit.

Under
the
NPDES
program,
States,
Federally
Recognized
Indian
Tribes
(
see
Attachment
1),
and
U.
S.
Territories
(
District
of
Columbia,
the
Commonwealth
of
Puerto
Rico,
the
Virgin
Islands,
Guam,
American
Samoa,
the
Commonwealth
of
the
Northern
Mariana
Islands,
and
the
Trust
Territories
of
the
Pacific
Islands)
may
acquire
the
authority
to
issue
permits.
In
the
absence
of
an
approved
State
program,
EPA
issues
permits.
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
that
administer
NPDES
programs
are
also
required
to
obtain
pretreatment
authority1
(
authority
to
require
POTWs
to
establish
pretreatment
programs
and
to
require
that
indirect
dischargers
meet
pretreatment
standards)
and
authority
to
issue
permits
to
federal
facilities.
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
also
have
the
option
of
acquiring
authority
to
issue
general
permits
(
permits
that
cover
a
group
of
similar
discharges).
If
these
program
areas
were
not
covered
in
the
original
authorization,
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
with
existing
NPDES
programs
must
submit
requests
for
program
modifications
to
add
pretreatment,
Federal
facilities,
or
general
permit
authority.
In
addition,
as
federal
statutes
and
regulations
are
modified,
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
must
submit
program
modifications
to
ensure
that
their
program
continues
to
meet
federal
requirements.

States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
also
have
the
option
of
acquiring
authority
to
operate
a
sludge
management
program.
This
program
may
be
a
component
of
a
State
NPDES
Program,
or
it
may
be
administered
as
a
separate
program.
To
obtain
authority
to
operate
a
NPDES
or
sludge
program,
a
State,
Tribe,
or
Territory
must
submit
an
application
that
includes
a
program
description,
Attorney
General's
Statement,
draft
Memorandum
of
Agreement
(
MOA)
with
the
EPA
Region,
and
copies
of
the
State's
statutes
and
regulations.

Once
a
State,
Tribe,
or
Territory
obtains
authority
for
a
NPDES
or
sludge
program,
it
becomes
responsible
for
implementing
the
program
in
that
jurisdiction.
The
State,
Tribe,
or
Territory
must
retain
records
on
the
permittees
and
perform
inspections.
In
addition,
when
a
State,
Tribe,
or
Territory
obtains
NPDES
or
sludge
authority,
EPA
must
oversee
the
program.
Thus,
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
must
submit
permit
information
and
compliance
reports
to
the
EPA.

When
EPA
issues
a
permit
in
an
unauthorized
State,
Tribe,
or
Territory,
that
State,
Tribe,
or
Territory
must
certify
that
the
permit
requirements
comply
with
State,
Tribe,
or
Territory
water
laws.
According
to
the
CWA
(
Section
510),
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
may
adopt
discharge
requirements
that
are
equal
to
or
more
stringent
than
requirements
in
the
CWA
or
Federal
regulations.

1(

Current
State
NPDES/
Sludge
Program
Status
As
of
December
2002,
a
total
of
45
of
the
50
States
and
1
of
the
7
U.
S.
Territories
have
obtained
NPDES
authority.
This
is
a
total
of
46
delegated
NPDES
programs
for
the
universe
of
624
potential
program
delegations
(
50
States,
567
Federally
Recognized
Indian
Tribes,
and
7
U.
S.
Territories).
Of
these
46
States,
Tribes,
or
U.
S.
Territories,
34
have
approved
pretreatment
programs,
40
have
authority
to
issue
permits
to
federal
facilities,
45
have
general
permit
programs,
and
5
have
sludge
programs
(
see
Attachment
2).

1
Requests
for
pretreatment
authority
and
State
implementation
of
pretreatment
programs
are
covered
by
a
separate
ICR
(
OMB
No.
2040­
0009).
Page
7
As
shown
on
Attachment
2,
31
of
the
46
NPDES
States2
have
full
NPDES
authority,
including
the
authority
to
issue
pretreatment
permits,
the
authority
to
issue
permits
to
federal
facilities,
and
the
authority
to
issue
general
permits,
which
is
an
optional
component.
Several
of
the
remaining
authorized
NPDES
States
are
working
with
EPA
to
put
necessary
statutes,
regulations,
and
other
provisions
in
place.
578
States,
Tribes,
or
U.
S.
Territories
(
624
minus
46)
do
not
administer
any
part
of
the
NPDES
program
and
are
at
various
stages
of
program
approval.
Some
of
the
States,
Tribes,
or
U.
S.
Territories
without
NPDES
authority
are
working
with
EPA
to
develop
a
program,
while
others
have
not
and
may
never
request
any
part
of
the
NPDES
program.

2.
NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
Section
402(
a)
of
the
CWA
established
the
NPDES
program,
which
requires
issuance
of
a
permit
to
control
the
discharge
of
pollutants,
ensuring
compliance
with
provisions
of
the
CWA.
In
addition,
Section
402(
b)
of
the
Act
provides
that
any
States,
Tribes,
or
Territory
may
administer
the
NPDES
program
if
it
requests
authority
and
receives
EPA
approval.
The
CWA
requires
submittal
and
approval
of
"
a
full
and
complete
description
of
the
program
it
(
the
State)
proposes
to
establish
and
administer
under
State
law...".
The
CWA
further
requires
the
State
to
submit
"
a
statement
from
the
Attorney
General...
that
the
laws
of
such
State...
provide
adequate
authority
to
carry
out
the
described
program."

Section
405
of
the
CWA
requires
EPA
to
regulate
the
use
and
disposal
of
sludge
produced
by
POTWs
and
other
treatment
works
treating
domestic
sewage.
On
February
4,
1987,
Congress
passed
the
Water
Quality
Act
of
1987
(
WQA),
which
included
significant
changes
to
Section
405
of
the
CWA.
Most
significantly,
it
requires
that
technical
standards
be
promulgated
and
that
those
standards
be
implemented
through
permits
issued
by
EPA
or
approved
States.
The
Office
of
Science
and
Technology
is
responsible
for
promulgating
the
technical
standards
for
sewage
sludge
use
and
disposal.
The
Office
of
Wastewater
Management
is
charged
with
administering
the
sludge
permitting
program
and
the
State
permit
programs.

The
CWA
also
provides
for
EPA
oversight
of
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
that
have
been
approved
to
administer
the
NPDES
program.
CWA
Section
309
deals
with
the
enforcement
of
permits,
and
Section
402(
c)
and
(
d)
deals
with
overall
program
oversight
including
permit
review
and
program
withdrawal.

In
the
absence
of
an
approved
State,
Tribe,
or
Territory
program,
EPA
administers
the
NPDES
program.
CWA
Section
401
requires
States
to
certify
that
EPA­
issued
NPDES
permits
establish
"
effluent
limitations,
and
monitoring
requirements
necessary
to
assure
that
any
applicant...
will
comply
with
any
applicable
effluent
limitations
and
other
limitations
(
pursuant
to
the
CWA)
and
with
any
other
appropriate
requirement
of
State
law...".
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
may
waive
their
right
to
certify
permits
if
they
wish.
Section
510
provides
that
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
may
adopt
requirements
equal
to
or
more
stringent
than
standards
established
pursuant
to
CWA
provisions.

EPA
has
promulgated
regulations,
40
CFR
Parts
122
through
125,
that
establish
procedures
and
requirements
of

Practical
Utility
and
Users
of
the
Data
(
i)
State
Program
Requests
The
information
collected
by
EPA
is
used
to
evaluate
the
adequacy
of
a
State's
NPDES
or
sludge
program
and
to
provide
EPA
with
the
information
necessary
to
fulfill
its
statutory
oversight
functions
over
State
program
performance
and
individual
permit
actions.
EPA
will
also
use
this
information
to
evaluate
State's
requests
for
full
or
partial
program
approval
and
program
modifications.
In
order
to
evaluate
the
adequacy
of
a
State's
proposed
program,
appropriate
information
must
be
provided
to
ensure
that
proper
procedures,
regulations,
and
statutes
are
in
place
and
consistent
with
CWA
requirements.

(
ii)
State
Program
Implementation
(
a)
Report
on
Compliance
Evaluation
Section
123.26
of
40
CFR
requires
States
to
have
a
program
that
is
capable
of
making
comprehensive
surveys
of
all
facilities
and
activities
subject
to
the
State
Director's
authority.
The
purpose
of
this
survey
is
to
identify
persons
subject
to
regulations
who
have
failed
to
comply
with
permit
application
or
other
program
requirements.
States
must
make
any
compilation,
index,
or
inventory
of
such
facilities
and
activities
available
to
the
Regional
Administrator
(
of
EPA)
upon
request.
EPA
and
NPDES
States
can
use
comprehensive
survey
information
for
several
purposes.
One
of
the
major
uses
includes
compliance
assessment
of
a
specific
permittee
or
permittees.
Additionally,
such
data
can
be
used
to
assess
the
trends
of
pollutant
loading
as
well
as
identify
new
control
needs
for
a
group
or
category
of
permitted
facilities.
Survey
data
could
lead
to
enforcement
action,
permit
modification
or
revocation
and
reissuance,
or
a
change
in
permit
conditions.

(
b)
Recordkeeping
of
NPDES
and
Sludge
Program
Information
States
must
maintain
records
of
NPDES
permit
applications,
inspection
reports,
and
noncompliance
and
enforcement
information.
States
must
have
a
management
system
in
place
to
support
compliance
evaluation
activities,
to
allow
for
the
review
of
the
effectiveness
of
State
permitting
and
enforcement
programs,
and
to
generate
noncompliance
rates.
The
data
is
used
by
the
State
in
overseeing
the
permittees
and
in
generating
reports
on
noncompliance
and
enforcement.

(
c)
Inspection
and
Investigation
of
NPDES
Permittees
EPA
and
NPDES
States
use
inspection
data
to
assess
compliance
with
permit
conditions.
Inspection
data,
in
conjunction
with
other
data
(
i.
e.,
permittee
selfmonitoring
data)
is
used
to
evaluate
the
need
for
EPA
to
initiate
enforcement
action.
EPA
headquarters
uses
inspection
data
to
assess
the
adequacy
of
Regional
and
State
programs.

(
d)
Certification
of
EPA­
issued
Permits
Page
9
When
EPA
issues
permits
in
non­
NPDES
States,
the
Agency
must
comply
with
State
laws,
including
water
quality
standards.
In
order
to
comply
with
State
laws,
EPA
Regions
use
State
certification
information
when
they
determine
permit
effluent
limits.
The
CWA
requires
that
no
permit
may
be
issued
by
EPA
unless
such
certification
has
been
granted
or
the
State
waives
certification.

(
iii)
State
Program
Oversight
The
information
included
in
this
category
is
used
to
evaluate
program
implementation
in
approved
States.
EPA
uses
the
information
when
reviewing
permits,
assessing
compliance,
evaluating
State
and
Regional
enforcement
measures,
generating
noncompliance
rates,
establishing
Agency
priorities,
formulating
budgets,
and
analyzing
Federal
and
State
programs.
Monitoring
of
approved
State
programs
also
ensures
continued
compliance
with
the
goals
and
requirements
of
the
CWA
and
State
programs
themselves.
Much
of
the
information
collected
under
this
category
is
also
used
by
the
State
in
administering
its
program.
The
information
is
essential
for
adequate
implementation
of
an
NPDES
program.

(
a)
Submittal
of
NPDES
Permit
Information
In
the
Memoranda
of
Agreement
(
MOA),
EPA
Regions
and
NPDES
States
define
which
permits
the
Region
will
review
and
which
permits
it
will
not
review.
Generally,
the
Region
will
review
all
permits
for
major
facilities,
all
general
permits,
and
a
small
percentage
of
permits
for
minor
facilities.
The
information
submitted
by
States
consists
of
all
appropriate
data
necessary
for
permit
review
(
application
form,
fact
sheets,
draft
permits,
etc.).
The
information
submitted
by
States
is
used
by
EPA
to
review
State­
issued
permits
for
compliance
with
Federal
laws.

(
b)
Submittal
of
Sludge
Permit
Information
The
information
submitted
by
States
is
used
by
EPA
to
review
State­
issued
permits
for
compliance
with
Federal
laws.

(
c)
Quarterly,
Semi­
annual,
and
Annual
Reports
Ongoing
monitoring
of
approved
State
programs
by
EPA
ensures
continued
compliance
with
the
goals
and
requirements
of
the
CWA
and
State
programs.
EPA
uses
information
about
the
permittee
noncompliance
to:

$
Evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
State
compliance
enforcement
programs;

$
Support
its
own
enforcement
actions,
if
any,
against
dischargers
in
approved
States;
and
$
Generate
and
publish
noncompliance
rates
to
be
used
in
reports
to
offices
within
EPA
and
to
OMB
and
Congress.
(
d)
Submittal
of
Noncompliance
Information
for
Sludge
Management
Programs
Sewage
sludge
noncompliance
reports
serve
the
same
use
as
NPDES
effluent
noncompliance
reports,
which
are
described
above.
However,
sewage
sludge
reports
are
only
required
annually.

NON­
DUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Non­
Duplication
EPA
has
examined
all
other
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
contained
in
the
CWA
and
in
the
NPDES
regulations.
In
addition,
it
has
consulted
the
Federal
Information
Locator
system
to
determine
whether
similar
or
duplicate
information
is
available
elsewhere.
EPA
has
determined
that
the
information
collection
and
reporting
requirements
considered
in
this
ICR
are
not
duplicated
in
other
reports.

All
of
the
information
collection
and
reporting
requirements
covered
in
this
ICR
involve
original
information
which
is
not
submitted
under
any
other
Federal
program
or
regulation.
Consequently,
there
are
no
alternative
means
available
to
collect
the
information.

3(
b)
Consultations
EPA
finalized
all
regulations
containing
the
requirements
addressed
in
this
ICR
after
receiving
comments
from
the
public
and
the
regulated
community.
EPA
Headquarters
staff
responsible
for
program
oversight
in
the
applicable
program
areas
were
contacted
to
provide
revised
information
and
data
for
this
ICR.

EPA
Regional
officials
and
representatives
of
approved
States
meet
at
least
annually
to
review
State
activities,
evaluate
progress
toward
meeting
program
goals,
etc.
In
addition,
the
MOA
between
approved
States
and
the
Regions
provides
mechanisms
for
discussions
about
the
program.
The
result
is
a
process
of
on­
going
discussions
between
EPA
and
State
officials
to
resolve
problems
as
they
arise
and
to
ensure
the
smooth
operation
of
both
NPDES
and
sludge
programs
nationwide.

EPA
Headquarters
staff
responsible
for
program
oversight
in
the
applicable
program
areas
were
contacted
to
provide
revised
information
and
data
for
this
ICR.

3(
c)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Most
of
the
reporting
and
information
collection
requirements
relating
to
State
programs
are
submitted
one
time
or
on
an
as­
needed
basis.
The
only
exceptions
are
the
quarterly
noncompliance
reports
(
QNCRs),
semi­
annual
sludge
reports,
and
annual
reports.
These
are
submitted
at
regular,
specified
intervals.

To
fulfill
its
oversight
responsibilities,
EPA
needs
current
information
about
all
State
NPDES
and
sludge
programs,
including
information
about
individual
permits,
enforcement
cases,
and
State
program
performance.
EPA
must
track
permits,
compliance
activities,
and
enforcement
actions
to
ensure
that
State
programs
are
carrying
out
provisions
of
the
CWA
in
a
timely
manner.
If
reporting
occurred
less
frequently,
data
would
not
be
current
enough
for
EPA
to
effectively
provide
guidance
for
State
programs,
to
review
or
comment
on
State
actions,
or
to
intervene
in
compliance
or
enforcement
cases
as
necessary.

THE
RESPONDENTS
AND
THE
INFORMATION
REQUESTED
4(
a)
Respondents
and
Standard
Industrial
Classification
Codes
The
respondents
to
this
information
request
are
all
50
states,
7
U.
S.
Territories,
and
567
Federally
Recognized
American
Indian
Tribes,
which
are
not
classified
under
the
Standard
Industrial
Classification
(
SIC)
system.

As
shown
on
Exhibit
2,
EPA
anticipates
an
average
of
19,226
responses
each
year
for
the
information
items
in
this
ICR.
In
some
cases,
the
number
of
responses
for
an
information
item
depends
on
the
number
of
NPDES
permittees
which
is
summarized
in
Exhibits
3­
A
and
3­
B.
In
most
cases,
the
number
of
responses
also
depends
on
either
the
number
of
States
requesting
new
NPDES
or
sludge
programs,
or
on
the
number
of
States
with
existing
programs.
In
calculating
these
numbers,
the
following
was
assumed:

$
During
the
next
three
years,
one
State
will
request
full
NPDES
program
authority,
and
one
State
will
request
partial
NPDES
program
authority.

$
During
the
next
three
years,
the
average
number
of
States
with
NPDES
authority
will
be
46.
This
is
calculated
as
follows:

B
Currently,
46
States
have
NPDES
authority.

B
EPA
estimates
that
two
States
will
receive
full
or
partial
NPDES
authority
by
2005,
bringing
the
total
to
48.
This
would
result
in
an
average
of
47
authorized
(
either
fully
or
partially
authorized)
States
in
each
year.

B
Although
an
average
of
47
States
would
have
approved
programs,
States
with
newly­
acquired
programs
will
not
submit
all
the
information
items,
such
as
annual
reports.
Also
States
with
partial
programs
may
not
submit
all
the
information
items,
because
they
administer
only
part
of
the
program.
Therefore,
this
ICR
assumes
that
the
equivalent
of
46
States
per
year
administer
the
NPDES
program.

$
During
the
next
three
years,
nine
States
will
request
a
sewage
sludge
program.
Since
there
are
five
currently
approved
programs,
the
addition
of
three
new
programs
each
year
will
result
in
an
average
of
11
approved
programs
operating
per
year.

In
most
cases,
the
respondents
to
this
information
collection
will
be
required
to
submit
several
of
the
items
listed
in
Exhibit
2.
The
respondents
include
States
requesting
new
NPDES
or
sludge
programs,
States
that
administer
NPDES
or
sludge
programs,
and
States
that
do
not
administer
NPDES
programs.

Because
all
States
are
required
to
respond
to
at
least
one
information
item,
this
ICR
assumes
an
average
of
624
respondents
per
year
(
all
States
plus
seven
U.
S.
Territories
and
567
Federally
Recognized
Indian
Tribes)

States
requesting
NPDES
program
approval
must
submit
3
copies
of
a
program
submission
(
40
CFR
§
123.21).
Each
submission
must
contain
the
following:

1)
A
letter
from
the
State's
Governor
(
or
Tribal
Authority)
requesting
program
approval;

2)
A
complete
program
description
that
summarizes
the
structure,
scope,
coverage,
and
processes
of
the
proposed
State
program
and
outlines
the
State's
permitting
and
review
procedures.
In
addition,
copies
of
all
relevant
permit
forms,
application
forms,
and
reporting
forms
must
be
submitted;

3)
A
statement
from
the
State
Attorney
General
certifying
that
the
State
laws
provide
adequate
authority
to
carry
out
the
program
requirements
as
outlined
in
the
program
description;

4)
A
MOA
between
the
State
Director
and
the
EPA
Regional
Administrator.
The
MOA
must
clarify
the
division
of
responsibilities
between
the
State
agency
and
EPA.
It
also
must
specify
the
procedures
that
will
ensure
adequate
coordination
between
EPA
and
the
State,
and
it
must
discuss
this
coordination
in
detail.
In
particular,
it
must
address
compliance
activities,
enforcement
activities,
and
the
transfer
of
information
between
the
State
and
EPA.
It
must
also
describe
which
classes
and
categories
of
permits
the
Regional
Administrator
must
review
before
a
permit
is
issued
by
the
State
and
further
specify
those
classes
for
which
the
Regional
Administrator
will
waive
review;
and
5)
Copies
of
all
relevant
State
regulations
and
statutes.

As
mentioned
previously,
one
State
is
expected
to
request
full
program
approval
during
the
life
of
the
ICR
(
an
average
of
0.33
States
per
year).
The
estimated
average
time
to
prepare
a
State
NPDES
program
application
can
vary
from
a
relatively
small
burden
(
predominately
reflecting
copying
time)
to
several
work
years
where
complete
regulatory
and
statutory
changes
are
necessary.
In
most
cases,
at
least
some
regulatory
changes
are
necessary.
It
is
impossible
to
determine
the
"
average"
burden
for
this
reporting
requirement
since
it
depends
on
many
different
issues.
For
the
purpose
of
this
ICR,
one
work
year
2080
hours
is
estimated
to
reflect
the
burden
for
States
requesting
program
approval.
The
average
Federal
government
burden
for
the
review
of
State
program
requests
is
1248
hours.

(
b)
Request
for
Partial
NPDES
Program
Approval
The
1987
WQA
authorizes
EPA
to
approve
States
for
two
types
of
partial
programs
(
CWA
§
402(
n)):

1)
major
category
partial
programs,
and
2)
phased
partial
programs.

States
apply
for
major
category
partial
program
authority
if
more
than
one
State
agency
has
jurisdiction
over
discharges.
Any
State
applying
for
a
major
category
partial
program
must
comply
with
existing
40
CFR
§
123,
Subpart
B
State
Program
Submission
requirements.
Under
the
phased
partial
program,
States
Page
14
obtain
authority
for
the
entire
NPDES
program
over
a
five­
year
period.
The
requirements
for
submissions
of
major
category
partial
program
and
phased
partial
program
requests
are
essentially
the
same
as
the
requirements
for
the
submission
of
a
full
NPDES
program
request,
as
discussed
above.

EPA
anticipates
that
one
State
will
seek
partial
program
approval
during
the
life
of
this
ICR
(
an
average
of
0.33
States
per
year).
Since
the
elements
of
the
partial
program
application
are
expected
to
be
the
same
as
for
program
approval,
it
is
assumed
that
the
burden
for
partial
programs
equals
the
burden
for
a
full
program
(
one
work
year,
or
2080
hours).
Like
full
NPDES
program
requests,
the
average
Federal
government
burden
for
the
review
of
State
program
requests
is
1248
hours.

(
c)
Request
for
NPDES
Program
Modifications
Either
EPA
or
an
approved
State
may
initiate
a
program
revision.
A
program
revision
may
be
necessary
when
the
controlling
Federal
statutes
and/
or
regulations
are
modified.
Where
necessary,
the
State
is
required
to
submit
a
modified
program
description,
an
Attorney
General's
statement,
a
MOA,
or
other
documents
necessary
to
describe
and
evaluate
whether
the
program
revision
is
substantial
and
requires
public
notice.
States
may
modify
their
programs
to
obtain
pretreatment
authority
(
covered
by
a
separate
ICR),
authority
to
issue
general
permits,
or
authority
to
issue
permits
to
Federal
facilities.
They
must
also
update
other
areas
of
their
programs
as
necessary.

$
Request
for
Authority
to
Issue
General
Permits.
General
permits
cover

Authority
to
issue
general
permits
is
an
optional
component
of
the
NPDES
program.
Currently,
45
States
have
general
permit
authority.
EPA
intends
to
increase
its
use
of
general
permits
and
is
encouraging
States
without
general
permit
authority
to
obtain
it.
States
seeking
to
modify
their
NPDES
programs
to
obtain
general
permit
authority
must
revise
their
Attorney
General's
Statement,
program
description,
and
MOA.
Is
some
cases,
they
must
also
revise
their
statutes
and
regulations.

$
Request
for
Authority
to
Issue
Permits
to
Federal
Facilities.
NPDES
States
are
required
to
obtain
authority
to
issue
NPDES
permits
to
Federal
facilities.
Currently
40
States
are
approved
to
regulate
Federal
facilities.
States
seeking
to
modify
their
NPDES
programs
to
obtain
this
authority
in
most
cases
revise
their
Attorney
General's
Statement,
program
description,
and
MOA.
In
some
cases,
they
must
also
revise
their
statutes
and
regulations.

$
Request
to
Update
Legal
Authority
in
other
Areas.
Under
40
CFR
§
123.62(
e),
State
NPDES
and
sludge
programs
must
at
all
times
be
in
compliance
with
Federal
regulations.
If
new
Federal
requirements
are
enacted,
States
have
one
year
to
update
their
regulations
to
meet
the
Federal
requirement.
States
have
two
years
if
they
must
also
update
statutes.
States
seeking
to
modify
their
NPDES
programs
to
update
their
authority
must
normally
revise
their
statutes
or
regulations.
They
must
also
in
some
cases
revise
their
Attorney
General's
Statement,

description,
or
MOA.

As
discussed
previously,
one
of
the
46
approved
NPDES
States
does
not
have
authority
to
issue
general
permits,
and
six
do
not
have
authority
to
issue
permits
to
Federal
facilities.
It
is
not
expected
that
these
States
will
request
such
authorities
during
the
next
three
years.
It
is
anticipated
that
four
States
will
revise
their
programs
in
order
to
update
their
authorities.
Therefore,
the
number
of
requests
for
program
modification
expected
during
the
next
three
years
is
four.
This
results
in
an
average
of
1.33
States
per
year.

For
purposes
of
this
ICR,
a
burden
estimate
of
250
hours
is
used
for
program
modifications.
EPA
staff
will
require
50
hours
to
review
each
request
for
program
modification.

(
d)
Request
for
Program
Transfers
A
State
may
request
that
an
approved
program
be
transferred
back
to
EPA.
Transfers
back
to
EPA
require
180
days
notice
by
the
State,
as
well
as
a
plan
for
the
orderly
transfer
of
all
relevant
program
information.
If
necessary,
EPA
may
require
that
the
State
provide
further
information.
In
addition,
EPA
may
initiate
proceedings
to
determine
whether
an
approved
State
program
should
be
withdrawn
due
to
the
State's
failure
to
administer
its
program
in
accordance
with
Federal
requirements.

Withdrawal
proceedings
not
only
may
be
initiated
unilaterally
by
EPA,
but
also
in
response
to
a
petition
submitted
by
an
interested
party.
Currently,
EPA
has
received
19
petitions
for
withdrawal
of
NPDES
programs
in
12
authorized
States.
EPA
estimates
based
on
the
number
of
petitions
submitted
in
the
past
few
years
that
an
average
of
3
petitions
per
year
will
be
submitted
in
the
next
several
years.
It
is
estimated
that
on
average,
each
petition
will
require
480
State
hours
and
240
EPA
hours
to
review.

(
e)
Request
for
Sludge
Program
Approval
On
August
24,
1998,
EPA
promulgated
revised
regulations
setting
forth
minimum
requirements
for
State
sludge
programs.
These
revisions
specify
that
all
State
sludge
management
program
submissions
be
submitted
under
40
CFR
Part
501,
whether
they
seek
a
revision
to
an
NPDES
program
or
a
non­
NPDES
program.
The
requirements
for
a
sewage
sludge
program
are
contained
in
40
CFR
Part
501.

The
first
requirement
for
submission
of
a
State
sludge
program
is
the
program
description,
which
contains
the
scope,
structure,
coverage,
and
processes
of
the
State
program.
The
State
must
also
submit
a
statement
from
the
State
Attorney
General
outlining
its
legal
authority
to
impose
the
sludge
requirements.
The
program
submission
shall
also
include
a
MOA
between
the
State
Director
and
the
EPA
Regional
Administrator
that,
in
part,
sets
forth
the
State's
approach
to
administering
the
sludge
program
and
EPA's
role
in
overseeing
the
State's
administration.

Nine
States
are
expected
to
seek
approval
of
sludge
management
programs
over
the
life
of
the
ICR.
This
results
in
an
average
of
three
requests
States
per
year.
Page
16
States
requesting
authority
to
implement
a
sludge
program
will
expend
an
estimated
750
hours
per
request
per
year.
The
Federal
government
will
be
required
to
review
and
process
each
State
program
submission
expending
approximately
400
hours
per
request
per
year.

NPDES
State
Program
Implementation
(
i)
Report
on
Compliance
Evaluation
40
CFR
§
123.26
requires
State
to
have
a
program
that
is
capable
of
making
comprehensive
surveys
of
all
facilities
and
activities
subject
to
the
State
Director's
authority.
The
purpose
of
this
survey
is
to
identify
persons
subject
to
regulations
who
have
failed
to
comply
with
permit
application
or
other
program
requirements.
States
must
make
any
compilation,
index,
or
inventory
of
such
facilities
and
activities
available
to
the
EPA
Regional
Administrator
upon
request.
Comprehensive
surveys
and
inspections
are
covered
under
"
Inspection
and
Investigation
of
NPDES
Permittees,"
discussed
below.
Surveys
of
any
facilities
and
activities
can
be
conducted,
subject
to
NPDES
program
authority,
to
identify
persons
that
are
subject
to
regulation
who
have
failed
to
comply
with
permit
application
or
other
program
requirements.
Any
compilation,
index,
inventory
of
such
facilities
and
activities
shall
be
made
available
to
EPA
Regions
upon
request.
During
the
life
of
this
ICR,
EPA
does
not
expect
to
request
any
of
this
information.

(
ii)
Recordkeeping
of
NPDES
Program
Information
40
CFR
§
123.41(
a)
requires
that
"
any
information
obtained
or
used
in
the
administration
of
a
State
program
shall
be
available
to
EPA
upon
request
without
restriction."
NPDES
states
are
also
required
to
keep
such
records
and
to
submit
such
information
as
is
reasonable
to
ascertain
whether
the
State
program
complies
with
the
requirements
of
the
CWA
and
the
NPDES
regulations,
consistent
with
40
CFR
§
123.43(
d).
Recordkeeping
shall
include
all
notices
and
reports
required
of
permittees
and
other
regulated
persons.

The
respondents
to
this
information
item
are
the
46
NPDES
States.
Although
the
burden
for
this
activity
can
vary
widely,
the
average
burden
to
NPDES
States
has
been
determined
to
be
50
hours,
based
on
past
burden
estimates.
Since
this
requirement
pertains
only
to
the
State
program,
there
is
no
Federal
burden
associated
with
this
information
requirement.

(
iii)
Recordkeeping
for
Sludge
Program
Information
States
with
EPA
approved
sludge
management
programs
must
continually
retain
information
about
program
and
permittee
compliance
with
Federal
requirements.
This
information
is
the
same
as
that
required
of
States
with
approved
NPDES
program,
as
noted
above.

As
discussed
above,
EPA
expects
nine
requests
for
State
sewage
sludge
programs
over
the
next
three
years
(
three
in
the
first
year,
with
an
additional
three
in
the
second
and
third
years).
Thus,
this
requirement
will
affect
an
average
of
11
States
per
year
(
average
of
existing
five
programs
and
additional
three
new
programs
per
year).
The
average
burden
to
States
with
sludge
programs
is
estimated
to
be
the
same
as
the
Page
17
recordkeeping
burden
for
NPDES
States,
50
hours.
Since
this
requirement
pertains
only
to
the
State
programs,
there
is
no
Federal
burden
associated
with
this
information
requirement.

(
iv)
Inspection
and
Investigation
of
NPDES
Permittees
The
respondents
to
this
item
are
the
46
NPDES
States.
As
part
of
NPDES
program
implementation,
inspections
are
performed
on
permitted
facilities
to
assess
compliance
with
permit
requirements.
NPDES
regulations
at
40
CFR
§
123.26(
e)(
5)
require
major
permittees
to
be
inspected
at
least
once
annually.
In
addition,
an
estimated
20
percent
of
minor
facilities
are
inspected
each
year.

When
facilities
are
inspected,
States
must
submit
their
findings
to
EPA.
The
information
collected
and
reported
by
the
State
can
include
sampling
data,
status
of
compliance
with
permit
requirements
such
as
construction
schedules
and
reports,
and
evaluation
of
a
permittee's
sample
collection
and
analysis
methodology.
The
information
varies
depending
on
the
type
of
inspection
conducted;
it
is
used
to
assess
compliance
with
NPDES
permit
requirements
and
to
verify
permittee
reporting.
The
various
types
of
inspections4
include:

$
Compliance
Sampling
Inspections
(
CSI).
During
the
CSI,
representative
samples
required
by
the
permit
are
obtained.
Chemical
analyses
are
performed
and
the
results
are
used
to
verify
the
accuracy
of
the
permittee's
self­
monitoring
program
and
reports,
determine
the
quantity
and
quality
of
effluents,
develop
permits,
and
provide
evidence
for
enforcement
proceedings
where
appropriate.
In
addition,
CSIs
include
the
same
objections
and
tasks
as
a
Compliance
Evaluation
Inspection,
discussed
below.
The
estimated
burden
for
the
inspection
is
120
hours.

$
Compliance
Evaluation
Inspections
(
CEI).
The
CEI
is
a
nonsampling
inspection
designed
to
verify
permittee
compliance
with
applicable
permit
self­
monitoring
requirements
and
compliance
schedules.
This
inspection
involves
record
reviews,
visual
observations,
and
evaluations
of
the
treatment
facilities,
effluents,
receiving
waters,
etc.
The
CEI
examines
both
chemical
and
biological
self­
monitoring
and
forms
the
basis
for
all
other
inspection
types
except
the
Reconnaissance
Inspection.
The
estimated
burden
for
this
inspection
is
24
hours.

$
Performance
Audit
Inspections
(
PAI).
The
PAI
is
used
to
evaluate
the
permittee's
selfmonitoring
program.
As
with
a
CEI,
the
PAI
is
used
to
verify
the
permittee's
reported
data
and
compliance
through
a
records
check.
In
a
CEI,
the
inspector
makes
a
cursory
visual
observation
of
the
facility,
effluents,
and
receiving
waters.
In
a
PAI,
the
inspector
actually
observes
the
permittee
performing
the
self­
monitoring
process
from
sample
collection
and
flow
measurement
through
laboratory
analyses,
data
workup,
and
reporting.
The
PAI
inspector
may
leave
a
check
sample
for
the
permittee
to
analyze.
Compared
to
a
CSI,
the
PAI
is
less
resource
intensive
because
sample
collection
and
analyses
by
the
State
are
not
included.
The
estimated
burden
for
this
inspection
is
96
hours.

$
Diagnostic
Inspections
(
DI).
The
DI
primarily
focuses
on
POTWs
that
have
not
achieved
permit
compliance.
POTWs
that
are
having
difficulty
diagnosing
their
problems
are

The
descriptions

targeted.
The
purpose
of
the
DI
is
to
identify
the
causes
of
noncompliance
and
to
suggest
immediate
remedies
that
will
help
the
POTW
achieve
compliance.
Once
the
cause
of
noncompliance
is
defined,
an
administrative
order
is
usually
issued
that
requires
the
permittee
to
conduct
a
detailed
analysis
and
develop
a
composite
correction
plan.
The
estimated
burden
for
this
inspection
is
128
hours.

$
Compliance
Biomonitoring
Inspection
(
CBI).
The
CBI
uses
acute
and
chronic
toxicity
testing
techniques
to
evaluate
the
biological
effect
of
a
permittee's
effluent
discharge(
s)
on
test
organisms.
In
addition,
this
inspection
includes
the
same
objectives
and
tasks
as
a
CEI.
The
estimated
burden
for
this
inspection
is
240
hours.

$
Toxic
Sampling
Inspection
(
XSI).
The
XSI
has
the
same
objectives
as
a
conventional
CSI.
However,
it
places
increased
emphasis
on
toxic
substances
regulated
by
the
NPDES
permit.
The
XSI
covers
priority
pollutants
other
than
heavy
metals,
phenols,
and
cyanide,
which
are
typically
included
in
a
CSI.
A
XSI
uses
more
resources
than
a
CSI
because
highly
sophisticated
techniques
are
required
to
sample
and
analyze
toxic
pollutants.
The
estimated
burden
for
this
inspection
is
280
hours.

$
Reconnaissance
Inspection
(
RI).
The
RI
is
used
to
obtain
a
preliminary
overview
of
a
permittee's
compliance
program.
The
inspector
permits
a
brief
visual
inspection
of
the
permittee's
treatment
facility,
effluents,
and
receiving
waters.
The
RI
uses
the
inspector's
experience
and
judgement
to
quickly
summarize
any
potential
compliance
problems.
The
objective
of
the
RI
is
to
expand
inspection
coverage
without
increasing
inspection
resources.
The
RI
is
the
briefest
of
all
NPDES
inspections;
the
estimated
burden
for
this
inspection
is
8
hours.

$
Pretreatment
Compliance
Inspections
(
PCI).
The
PCI
evaluates
the
POTW's
implementation
of
its
approved
pretreatment
program.
It
includes
a
review
of
the
POTW's
records
on
monitoring,
inspections,
and
enforcement
activities
for
its
industrial
users
(
IUs).
THE
PCI
may
be
supplemented
with
IU
inspections.
The
estimated
burden
for
this
inspection
is
24
hours.

A
Compliance
Inspection
Report
(
CIR)
form
was
developed
for
inspectors
to
use
when
submitting
qualitative
results
of
CSIs,
CEIs,
PAIs,
and
DIs.
In
most
cases,
the
form
is
not
used,
but
the
information
collected
and
reported
is
generally
the
same,
except
for
those
States
that
require
and
collect
more
information.

Exhibits
4­
A,
and
4­
B
summarize
the
number
of
inspections,
the
burden
associated
with
each
type
of
inspection,
and
the
total
burden
for
this
information
activity.
For
this
calculation,
it
is
assumed
that
there
are
a
total
of
2,077
major
and
33,103
minor
non­
municipal
facilities,
and
3,582
major
and
9,795
minor
municipal
facilities
(
see
Exhibit
3­
A
and
3­
B).
Of
the
major
facilities
(
both
nonmunicipal
and
municipal),
15
percent
receive
CSIs,
60
percent
receive
CEIs,
15
percent
receive
PAIs,
17
percent
receive
CBIs,
four
receive
XSIs,
and
40
percent
receive
RIs.
In
addition,
5
percent
of
municipal
facilities
receive
DIs
and
80
percent
of
POTWs
with
approved
pretreatment
programs
receive
PCIs.
Of
the
minor
facilities
(
both
non­
municipal
and
municipal),
3
percent
receive
CSIs
and
17
percent
receive
CEIs.
Therefore,
the
total
annual
number
of
inspections
conducted
is
estimated
to
be
18,066
(
6,350
+
1,959
+
3,136
+

947,897
hours
(
406,586
+
75,226
+
211,854
+
254,231).

The
burden
for
the
Federal
government
is
based
on
the
time
required
to
review
the
CIRs
or
the
pretreatment
checklists5.
Based
on
previous
experience,
90
percent
(
16,260)
of
the
inspection
reports
will
require
an
initial
review
of
one
half
hour,
while
the
remaining
10
percent
(
1,807)
will
require
a
more
intensive
review
of
five
hours.
Thus,
the
total
annual
review
time
is
estimated
at
17,163
hours,
calculated
as
follows:

Total
burden
for
Federal
government
to
review

State
Certification
of
EPA­
issued
Permits
When
EPA
issues
permits
in
non­
NPDES
States,
EPA
must
ensure
that
the
permits
are
in
compliance
with
State
laws,
including
water
quality
standards.
EPA
may
not
issue
a
permit
in
an
unapproved
State
until
the
State
certifies
that
the
permit
is
in
compliance
with
State
laws.
Certification
is
usually
supplied
by
the
State
with
the
permittee's
application
form
or
at
the
time
the
draft
permit
has
been
developed.

The
regulations
require
that
certifications
be
in
writing
and
that
they
identify
conditions
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
applicable
provisions
of
the
CWA
and
State
laws.
When
certification
accompanies
a
draft
permit,
it
shall
include
any
conditions
more
stringent
than
those
in
the
draft
permit
that
the
State
finds
necessary
to
meet
the
CWA
or
State
requirements.
It
must
also
list
permit
conditions
that
can
be
made
less
stringent
without
violating
State
law
requirements,
including
water
quality
standards.
States
may
waive
their
certification
rights,
and
a
certification
is
considered
waived
if
the
State
does
not
specifically
certify
or
deny
certification
within
a
reasonable
time
period.

The
respondents
to
this
information
item
are
the
579
States
without
NPDES
programs6
As
of
November
2002,
there
were
4002
EPA­
issued
permits,
893
major
permits
and
3109
minor
permits.
It
is
assumed
that
each
year,
EPA
reissues
20
percent
of
these
permits,
or
an
average
of
800
each
year.
It
is
assumed
on
average,
that
new
permits
issued
each
year
will
equal
permits
removed
from
the
program.
The
respondent
burden
for
certifying
these
permits
varies
due
to
State
procedures,
level
of
involvement
with
EPA
in
developing
the
permit,
and
permit
complexity.
Average
respondent
burden
is
estimated
to
be
4
hours.
The
burden
to
the
Federal
government
is
not
applicable,
because
the
Federal
activities
are
part
of
the
permitting
process
and
impose
no
further
burden.

5
As
discussed
above,
States
are
not
required
to
use
these
forms.
However,
the
Federal
burden
is
not
likely
to
depend
greatly
on
the
format
in
which
results
are
reported.
Therefore,
for
simplicity,
it
is
assumed
that
States
use
these
forms.
6
As
discussed
in
4(
a),
this
ICR
assumes
an
average
of
46
States,
Tribes,
or
U.
S.
Territories
will
have
NPDES
programs.
Thus,
579
States,
Tribes,
and
U.
S.
Territories
will
not
have
programs.

Information
Federal
regulations
require
that
"
any
information
obtained
or
used
in
the
administration
of
a
State
program
shall
be
available
to
EPA
upon
request
without
restriction"
(
40
CFR
§
123.41(

Information
submitted
to
EPA
includes
permit
program
forms
and
any
other
relevant
information
specified
in
the
MOA
between
EPA
and
the
State.
At
a
minimum,
required
information
includes
copies
of
completed
permit
application
forms,
draft
and
final
permits,
permit
modification,
and
related
information
(
e.
g.,
notices
of
State
actions,
public

etc.)
unless
EPA
waives
permit
review.

The
respondents
to
this
information
item
are
the
estimated
46
States
with
NPDES
programs.
It
is
assumed
that
the
States
treat
this
information
collection
as
an
ongoing
activity,
rather
than
as
a
set
of
discrete
reports.
Burden
estimates
for
the
remainder
of
this
ICR
is
based
on
45
States
having
program
authorization.
Arizona,
having
received
program
authorization
in
the
past
month,
is
excluded
from
that
estimate.
Arizona
will
be
added
in
the
final
ICR
that
is
to
be
submitted
to
OMB.

The
annual
burden
for
these
States
is
estimated
to
average
25.2
(
1,107
hours
for
45
States)
hours
per
State,
calculated
as
follows:

$
States
must
submit
all
major
permits,
about
5
percent
of
minor
permits,
and
all
general
permits;

$
As
of
November
2002,
there
were
5,659
major,
42,898
minor,
and
approximately
400
general
permits
in
the
45
NPDES
States.
Each
permit
can
have
a
life
span
of
five
years,
so
an
average
of
1,132
major,
8,580
minor,
and
approximately
80
general
permits
are
issued
each
year;

$
In
addition,
EPA
estimates
that
authorized
States
will
issue
98
new
major,
895
new
minor,
and
44
new
general
permits
each
year.
Accordingly,
the
estimated
number
of
major
permits
for
each
year
of
the
ICR
is
1,230
(
1,132
+
98),
the
estimated
number
of
minor
permits
is
9,475
(
8,580
+
895),
and
the
estimated
number
of
general
permits
is
125
(
80
+
45);

$
70
percent
of
the
major
(
859),
5
percent
of
the
minors
(
473),
and
100
percent
of
the
general
permits
(
125)
require
10
minutes
(
0.17
hours)
for
transmittal
to
EPA.
The
remaining
30
percent
of
major
permits
(
368)
require
two
hours
of
transmittal
time.
The
total
number
of
NPDES
certifications
equals
an
average
of
1,825
per
year
(
859
+
473
+
125
+

$
Thus,
the

is
as
follows:

period,
Page

yielding
an
average
of
15

will
require
10
minutes
(

The
total
burden
for

is
2.5

Quarterly,
Semi­

and
Annual
Reports
NPDES
regulations
require
that
each
EPA
Region
and
approved
State
prepare
quarterly,
semi­
annual,
and
annual
noncompliance
reports.
These
reports
include:

$
Quarterly

§
123.45:
Approved

and
a
brief
description
of

during
the
past
six

$
Annual
Statistical
Summary
Reports
­
40
CFR
§
123.45:
These
reports
must
indicate
the
number
of
all
non­
major
permittees
reviewed;
the
number
in
noncompliance;
the
number
of
enforcement
actions
taken;
and
the
number
of
permits
modified
to
extend
compliance
deadlines.
A
list
of
non­
majors
that
are
one
or
more
years
behind
the
construction
phases
of
the
compliance
schedule
is
also
required.
The
respondents
to
this
information
item
are
the
estimated
45
NPDES
States.
Each
year,
these
45
States
must
develop
four
QNCRs,
two
semi­
annual
summary
reports,
and
one
annual
summary
report.
Since
the
semi­
annual
and
annual
summary
reports
are
normally
prepared
along
with
the
QNCRs,
and
because
States
indicate
that
the
burden
for
these
reports
is
lessened,
this
ICR
assumes
(
for
simplicity)
that
each
NPDES
State
prepares
the
equivalent
of
five
QNCRs
each
year.
The
work
involved
ranges
from
manually
preparing
reports,
which
includes
reviewing
individual
inspection
reports,
to
copying
data
generated
by
the
EPA
PCS
onto
QNCR
forms.
This
results
in
225
annual
responses
(
45
States
x
5).
EPA
estimates
an
average
respondent
burden
of
25
hours
per
report.
The
government
burden
for
this
information
item
is
estimated
at
15
hours,
including
eight
hours
review
by
EPA
Regions
and
seven
hours
of
review
by
EPA
Headquarters.

Agency
Activities
This
ICR
includes
all
of
the
reporting
requirements
relating
to
State
program
requests,
State
NPDES
and
sludge
program
implementation,
and
EPA
overview
of
State
NPDES
and
sludge
programs.
Under
CWA
§
402(
c)
&
(
d),
EPA
must
ensure
that
State
program
requests
and
State
program
modification
requests
meet
all
the
necessary
Federal
requirements.
Thus,
EPA
must
review
State
program
submissions
to
ensure
that
all
the
necessary
requirements
are
met.
EPA's
review
includes
an
analysis
of
the
State's
statutes
and
regulations,
and
an
in­
depth
examination
of
the
program
description,
Attorney
General's
Statement,
and
MOA.
All
of
the
information
submitted
by
States
is
filed
in
the
State
Program
files
at
EPA
Headquarters.

Once
a
State
acquires
NPDES
authorization,
EPA
must
oversee
the
program
to
ensure
that
it
meets
the
requirements
set
forth
in
the
Federal
regulations.
Consequently,
EPA
is
required
to
regularly
review
State­
issued
permits,
State
compliance
reports,
and
State
inspection
forms.
The
majority
of
these
tasks
are
delegated
to
the
individual
Regions.

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
The
information
reported
in

is
limited
to
State
efforts
including
EPA
review
of
State
information;
it
does
not
reflect
the

on
the
permittee.
For
general
reports,
EPA
and
States
are
moving
toward
greater
automation 
for
example,
computer
generated
QNCRs
and
SSVRs 
however,
much
of
the
information
dealing
with
a
State's
overview
does
not
lend
itself
to
automation.
Much
of
the
information
centers
on
day­
to­
day
on­
going
program
information
some
of
which
is
case­
specific.

EPA
has
an
automated
data
management
system
known
as
Permit
Compliance
System
(
PCS).
This
system
provides
EPA
with
a
nationwide

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
6(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
annual
burden
for
State
NPDES
and
sludge
programs
is
a
function
of
the
number
of
States
responding
to
the
collection
and
average
time
required
for
States
to
complete
each
information
item.
The
assumptions
and
calculations
used
to
derive
the
burdens
for
the
individual
information
items
are
summarized
in
Section
4(
b).

Exhibit
6
summarizes
the
average
burden
for
the
information
items
in
this
ICR.
To
determine
the
average
burden
hours
for
the
ICR,
a
cumulative
total
for
each
reporting
item
was
calculated.
The
estimated
annual
burden
is
966,966
hours.
Approximately
98
percent
of
this
burden
(
947,897
hours)
is
associated
with
the
inspection
and
investigation
of
NPDES
permittees.

As
discussed
above,
the
total
number
of
respondents
is
624.
However,
579
of
these
624
States
respond
to
only
1
information
item
(
certification
of
EPA­
Issued
permits).
The
average
burden
per
respondent
varies,
depending
on
whether
the
State
has
NPDES
authority,
on
the
number
of
permitted
facilities
in
the
State,
and
on
other
factors.

6(
b)
Estimating
Respondent
Cost
The
cost
imposed
on
the
States
as
respondents
to
the
information
requirement
discussed
in
this
ICR
is
a
function
of
the
burden
placed
on
them
in
collecting,
compiling,
and
reporting
the
information
described
above
and
the
wages
of
the
typical
State
worker
performing
these
activities.
There
are
no
respondent
capital/
start­
up
costs
and
no
O&
M
costs
associated
with
this
ICR.

A
labor
rate
of

activities
defined
in
this
ICR.
This
is
based
on
the
mean
hourly

of
employment
for
all
occupations,
including
benefits.
This
hourly
rate
was
based
on
the

Estimating
the
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
In
general,
Federal
government
burden
and
costs
arise
from
reviewing,
analyzing,
and
processing
reports
and
information
provided
by
the
States.
Section

of
this
document
details
the
level
of
effort
expended
by
the
Federal
government
as
the
recipient
and
user
of
this
information.

All
cost
calculations
in
this
ICR
account
for
labor
costs
only.
The
hourly
labor
rate
for
the
Federal
government
is
based
on
an
average
annual
salary
for
Federal
employees
of
$
44,738,
which
is
equivalent
to
the
salary
of
a
GS­
9,
Step
10
Federal
employee.
7
At
2,080
hours
per
year,
the
hourly
rate
is
$
21.53.
Overhead
costs
for
Federal
employees
are
estimated
to
be
50
percent,
or
$
10.76
per
hour,
yielding
a
fully
loaded
rate
of
$
32.39.
The
hourly
rate
of
$

was
used
for
all
Agency

Reasons
for
Changes
in
Burden
Exhibit

outlines
the
changes
in
the
respondent
burden
estimates
between
the
previous
NPDES
and
Sewage
Sludge
Management
State
Program
Requirements
ICR
and
this
revised
ICR.
The
current
burden
is
1,140,794
hours.
The
estimate
for
this
revised
ICR
is
966,966
hours,
a
decrease
of
(
173,828)
hours
or
­
15.2
percent
over
the
current
inventory.
This
change
is
due
to
changes
and
adjustments
in
the
number
and
types
of
permits
administered
by
the
States
and
EPA
under
the
NPDES
program.
EPA
has
conducted
and
continues
to
improve
the
quality
of
data
in
its
Permit
Compliance
System
(
PCS)
database
and
part
of
this
adjustment
is
due
to
this
effort.
In
addition,
this
adjustment
is
due
partly
to
shifts
towards
the
use
of
general
permits
to
cover
certain
categories
of
dischargers.
Finally,
non­
NPDES
authorized
states
continue
to
apply
for
NPDES
program
and
sludge
program
authorization.

Exhibit
10
outlines
the
changes
in
the
total
burden
estimates
between
the
previous
NPDES
and
Sewage
Sludge
Management
State
Program
Requirements
ICR
and
this
revised
ICR.
The
total
estimate
for
this
ICR
is
994,779
hours,
a
decrease
of
(
173,643)
hours
or
(
14.9)
percent
over
the
current
inventory.
As
discussed
above,
this
change
is
due
primarily
to
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
municipal
and
nonmunicipal
permits
administered
by
delegated
states.
As
noted
above,
this
reduction
may
reflect
more
accurate
data
rather
than
a
significant
change
in
the
number
of
permits
actually
administered.

f)
Burden
Statement
The
public
reporting
and
burden
for
collecting
information
is
estimated
to
average
966,966.0
hours
annually.
This
estimate
includes
the
time
required
to
review
the
instructions,
search
existing
data
sources,
gather
and
maintain
all
necessary
data,
and
complete
and
review
the
information
collected.
The
respondents
are
the
624
States,
Tribes
and
U.
S.
Territories
defined
under
the
NPDES
program;
the
burden
per
respondent
is
variable.

Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposed
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
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
list
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15.

To
comment
on
the
Agency's
need
for
this
information,
the
accuracy
of
the
provided
burden
estimates,
and
any
suggested
methods
for
minimizing
respondent
burden,
including
the
use
of
automated
collection
techniques,
EPA
has
established
a
public

this
ICR
