Abstract:
This
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
calculates
the
burden
and
costs
associated
with
managing
the
National
Pretreatment
Program,
mandated
by
sections
402(
a)
and
(
b)
and
307(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act.
This
ICR
is
a
renewal
of
the
Revision
of
the
Information
Collection
Request
for
the
National
Pretreatment
Program
(
OMB
Control
No.
2040
 
009,
EPA
ICR
No.
0002.09).
EPA's
Office
of
Wastewater
Management
(
OWM)
in
the
Office
of
Water
(
OW)
is
responsible
for
the
management
of
the
pretreatment
program.
The
Clean
Water
Act
requires
EPA
to
develop
national
pretreatment
standards
to
control
discharges
from
Industrial
Users
(
IUs)
into
Publicly
Owned
Treatment
Works
(
POTWs).
These
standards
limit
the
level
of
certain
pollutants
allowed
in
nondomestic
wastewater
that
is
discharged
to
a
POTW.
EPA
administers
the
pretreatment
program
through
the
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
permit
program.
Under
the
NPDES
permit
program,
EPA
may
approve
State
or
individual
POTW
implementation
of
the
pretreatment
standards
at
their

respective
levels.
Data
collected
from
IUs
during
implementation
of
the
pretreatment
program
include
the
mass,
frequency,
and
content
of
IU
discharges
and
IU
schedules
for
installing
pretreatment
equipment.
Data
also
include
actual
or
anticipated
IU
discharges
of
wastes
that
violate
pretreatment
standards,
have
the
potential
to
cause
problems
at
the
POTW,
or
are
considered
hazardous
under
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(
RCRA).
OWM
uses
the
data
collected
under
the
pretreatment
program
to
monitor
and
enforce
compliance
with
the
pretreatment
regulations,
as
well
as
to
authorize
program
administration
at
the
State
or
local
(
POTW)
level.
States
and
POTWs
applying
for
approval
of
their
pretreatment
programs
submit
data
concerning
their
legal,
procedural,
and
administrative
bases
for
establishing
such
programs.
This
information
may
include
surveys
of
IUs,
local
limits
for
pollutant
concentrations,
and
schedules
for
completion
of
major
project
requirements.
IUs
and
POTWs
submit
written
reports
to
the
approved
state
or
EPA.
These
data
may
then
be
entered
into
the
NPDES
databases
by
the
approved
state
or
by
EPA.
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
EPA
would
like
to
solicit
comments
to:
(
i)
Evaluate
whether
the
proposed
collection
of
information
is
necessary
for
the
proper
performance
of
the
functions
of
the
agency,
including
whether
the
information
will
have
practical
utility;
(
ii)
Evaluate
the
accuracy
of
the
agency's
estimate
of
the
burden
of
the
proposed
collection
of
information,
including
the
validity
of
the
methodology
and
assumptions
used;
(
iii)
Enhance
the
quality,
utility,
and
clarity
of
the
information
to
be
collected;
and
(
iv)
Minimize
the
burden
of
the
collection
of
information
on
those
who
are
to
respond,
including
through
the
use
of
appropriate
automated
electronic,
mechanical,
or
other
technological
collection
techniques
or
other
forms
of
information
technology,
e.
g.,
permitting
electronic
submission
of
responses.
Burden
Statement:
The
information
collection
would
involve
an
estimated
32,675
respondents
at
an
annual
cost
of
$
95,126,953
to
those
respondents.
The
total
annual
cost
to
both
respondents
and
government
(
excluding
Federal
government)
is
estimated
at
$
99,022,998.
The
annual
number
of
responses
would
be
248,539
or
7.61
responses
per
respondent.
The
time
required
for
a
response
ranges
from
15
minutes
to
400
hours,
with
an
average
response
time
of
approximately
10.0
hours
per
year.
An
estimated
32,675
respondents
would
be
required
to
keep
records
at
an
average
annual
burden
of
6.80
hours
per
record
keeper.
The
pretreatment
program
would
entail
222,217
hours
of
record
keeping,
2,107,586
hours
of
reporting,
114,706
hours
for
government
(
excluding
Federal
government)
administration
and
11,262
hours
for
EPA
as
users
of
the
data,
for
a
total
of
2,485,770
burden
hours
at
a
cost
of
$
99,387,774.
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
