Characterization
Title

of
the
Public
Health
Security
and
Bioterrorism
Preparedness
and
Response
Act
of
2002
(
Pub.
L.
107­
188)
amends
the
Safe
Drinking
Water
Act
(
SDWA).
(
See
Appendix
A
for
Title
IV
of
the
Public
Health
Security
and
Bioterrorism
Preparedness
and
Response
Act
of
2002.)
The
Act
requires
each
community
water
system
(
CWS)
1
serving
a
population
of
more
than
3,300
people
to
conduct
a
vulnerability
assessment
of
its
water
system
and
to
prepare
or
revise
an
emergency
response
plan
that
incorporates
the
results
of
the
vulnerability
assessment.
To
ensure
proper
compliance
with
the
Act,
EPA
will
collect
and
review
the
following
items
required
to
be
submitted
by
CWSs
on
specified
dates:

°
Certification
that
the
CWS
conducted
a
vulnerability
assessment.
°
Copy
of
the
vulnerability
assessment.
°
Certification
that
the
CWS
prepared
or
revised
an
emergency
response
plan.

EPA
will
also
conduct
compliance
reviews
of
submitted
vulnerability
assessments.

To
address
the
requirements
under
Title
IV
of
the
Act,
EPA
is
providing
baseline
information
to
the
CWSs
required
to
conduct
vulnerability
assessments.
EPA
developed
this
information
in
consultation
with
other
departments
and
agencies
of
the
federal
government
and
with
state
and
local
governments.
Information
is
being
provided
on
the
kinds
of
terrorist
attacks
or
other
intentional
acts
that
represent
probable
threats
and
that
may
substantially
disrupt
the
ability
of
the
system
to
provide
a
safe
and
reliable
supply
of
drinking
water.
EPA
also
consulted
with
federal
law
enforcement
and
intelligence
officials
to
develop
protocols
necessary
for
protecting
copies
of
the
vulnerability
assessments
submitted
and
for
ensuring
security
of
the
assessments
and
information
contained
in
or
derived
from
the
assessments.

Dependent
on
further
Congressional
appropriations,
EPA
may
provide
CWSs
with
financial
or
technical
assistance
for
complying
with
the
requirements
of
this
Act.
This
work
is
not
currently
funded.

As
explained
in
Section
2(
a),
this
ICR
estimates
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
and
costs
to
CWSs
and
EPA
in
response
to
Title
IV
of
the
Act.
This
ICR
estimates
burden
and
costs
for
calendar
years
2003,
2004,
and
2005.

For
the
three­
year
ICR
period,
the
average
annual
respondent
burden
and
cost
to
CWSs
and
EPA
is
estimated
at
2,658,540
hours
and
$
157,078,665.
The
annual
burden
and
cost
to
CWSs
is
estimated
at
2,652,392
hours
and
$
156,540,365.
The
estimated
annual
EPA
burden
for
this
ICR
is
6,148
hours,
at
an
estimated
annual
cost
of
$
538,300.

EPA
estimates
that
$
82,211
of
the
annual
CWS
costs
will
be
spent
on
operation
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
activities.
These
costs
represent
postage
for
delivery
of
certifications
and
copies
of
vulnerability
assessments,
as
well
as
postage
for
delivery
of
certifications
of
emergency
response
plans.
This
$
82,211
represents
the
"
cost
burden"
as
reported
in
the
official
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
inventory.
Note
that
these
costs
are
for
O&
M
only;
there
are
no
capital
costs
associated
with
the
CWS
activities
covered
by
this
ICR.
EPA
is
estimated
to

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Authority
and
Need
for
the
Collection
EPA
derives
authority
to
collect
this
information
from
the
Public
Health
Security
and
Bioterrorism
Preparedness
and
Response
Act
of
2002
(
Pub.
L.
107­
188).
Through
this
Act,
Congress
conveyed
the
importance
of
protecting
the
nation's
drinking
water
supply
from
intentional
attack.
The
terrorist
attacks
of
September
11,
2001,
have
resulted
in
a
heightened
awareness
of
the
threat
faced
by
the
nation's
citizens,
its
institutions,
and
its
infrastructure.
This
includes
the
threat
to
the
CWSs
that
supply
the
nation
with
safe
drinking
water.
Congress
mandated
that
CWSs
assess
their
vulnerability
to
terrorist
attacks
and
other
intentional
acts
that
would
jeopardize
a
system's
ability
to
ensure
a
safe
and
reliable
supply
of
drinking
water.
To
provide
this
security,
systems
must
certify
to
the
Agency
that
they
have
conducted
these
assessments
and
completed
emergency
response
plans.

2(
b)
Use/
Users
of
the
Data
EPA
will
use
the
information
collected
under
this
ICR
to
determine
whether
CWSs
have
conducted
vulnerability
assessments
and
prepared
emergency
response
plans
in
compliance
with
the
Act.
EPA
will
also
use
information
submitted
with
the
grant
applications
to
provide
federal
financial
assistance
to
CWSs
for
completing
vulnerability
assessments
and
emergency
response
plans
and
for
complying
with
the
Act.

Primary
users
of
the
information
collected
under
this
ICR
include
the
EPA
Office
of
Ground
Water
and
Drinking
Water
(
OGWDW),
EPA
Regional
Administrators,
and
CWSs.
Only
entities
designated
by
the
Administrator
may
have
access
to
the
vulnerability
assessments
or
information
contained
in
or
derived
from
the
assessments
(
except
as
noted
in
Section
1433(

NON­
DUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Non­
duplication
The
information
to
be
collected
under
this
ICR
is
required
by
a
new
federal
law.
It
does
not
duplicate
any
previous
work.
To
the
best
of
the
Agency's
knowledge,
data
requested
to
meet
the
requirements
of
the
Act
are
not
available
from
any
other
source.

The
requested
information
will
be
prepared
or
compiled
by
CWSs.
If
CWSs
have
already
developed
emergency
response
plans,
they
are
only
required
to
update
them
with
information
from
the
vulnerability
assessments
that
have
not
been
developed
or
collected
previously.
Therefore,
the
information
that
EPA
will
collect
is
not
unnecessarily
duplicative
of
information
otherwise
available
to
the
Agency.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
To
comply
with
the
1995
Amendments
to
the
PRA,
EPA
will
solicit
public
comment
on
this
ICR
for
a
60­
day
period
before
it
is
submitted
to
OMB.
Specifically,
EPA
will
publish
a
notice
in
the
Federal
Register
requesting
comment
on
the
estimated
respondent
burden
and
other
aspects
of
this
ICR
(
to
be
included
as
Appendix).
EPA
will
review
and
prepare
responses
to
any
public
comment
received
during
the
60­
day
comment
period.
The
comments
and
responses
will
be
included
as
an
Appendix.
An
additional
Federal
Register
notice
will
be
published
prior
to
submission
of
this
ICR
to
OMB.
The
public
comment
period
for
this
additional
notice
is
30
days.

3(
c)
Consultations
Because
of
the
critical
nature
of
the
information
to
be
collected
under
this
ICR
(
i.
e.,
ensuring
safe
and
reliable
drinking
water),
requirements
for
collection
have
been
developed
quickly.
However,
EPA
has
made
an
effort
to
consult
with
as
many
affected
entities
as
possible
within
the
limited
time
available.
EPA
worked
closely
with
other
federal
agencies,
state
and
local
governments,
CWSs,
and
industry
organizations
to
ensure
that
the
program
developed
is
both
effective
and
efficient.
The
Agency
will
continue
to
work
closely
with
affected
entities
throughout
further
development
and
implementation
of
these
requirements.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Only
one
response
is
required
for
each
of
three
information
categories
(
i.
e.,
the
vulnerability
assessment,
certification
of
the
vulnerability
assessment,
and
certification
of
the
emergency
response
plan).
These
three
items
are
mandated
by
Congress;
to
collect
less
often
would
be
a
failure
to
implement
the
law.

General
Guidelines
This
ICR
was
developed
in
accordance
with
the
February
1999
version
of
the
ICR
Handbook
prepared
by
EPA's
Office
of
Environmental
Information,
Office
of
Information
Collection,
Collection
Strategies
Division.
The
ICR
Handbook
provides
the
most
current
instructions
for
ICR
preparation
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
1995
PRA
amendments
and
OMB's
implementing
guidelines.

This
collection
does
not
violate
any
of
the
OMB
guidelines
for
information
collection
activities.
Specifically,
the
respondents
are
not
required
to:

°
Report
information
to
EPA
more
than
quarterly.

°
Prepare
a
written
response
to
a
collection
of
information
in
fewer
than
30
days
after
receipt
of
a
request.

°
Submit
more
than
an
original
and
two
copies
of
any
document.

°
Participate
in
a
statistical
survey
that
is
not
designed
to
produce
data
that
can
be
generalized
to
the
universe
of
the
study.

°
Use
a
statistical
data
classification
that
has
not
been
reviewed
and
approved
by
OMB.

Though
OMB
guidelines
state
that
respondents
are
not
required
to
retain
records,
other
than
health,
medical,
government
contract,
grant­
in­
aid
or
tax
records,
for
more
than
three
years,
this
collection
requires
CWSs
to
retain
copies
of
their
emergency
response
plans
for
five
years
after
certification
by
EPA.
The
authority
to
do
so
is
stated
directly
from
the
Act:
"
each
community
water
system
shall
maintain
a
copy
of
the
emergency
response
plan
completed
pursuant
to
subsection
(
b)
for
5
years
after
such
plan
has
been
certified
to
the
Administrator
under
this
section."

Confidentiality
Because
the
Act
requires
collection
of
information
that
must
remain
confidential,
CWSs
will
generally
ship
vulnerability
assessments
to
EPA
by
courier
service
directly
to
a
receiving
location
that
secures
the
information,
allowing
access
only
by
properly
designated
individuals.
Each
CWS
is
expected
to
retain
a
copy
of
its
vulnerability
assessment
and
emergency
response
plan
in
accordance
with
the
recordkeeping
requirements
contained
in
the
Act.
EPA
has
enacted
protocols
to
secure
the
vulnerability
assessments
upon
receipt.
Only
individuals
granted
access
by
the
EPA
Administrator
will
have
authorization
to
view
the
vulnerability
assessments
and
any
information
derived
from
them
(
except
as
noted
in

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
In
collecting
the
information
associated
with
this
ICR,
EPA
will
use
the
U.
S.
Postal
Service
or
overnight
delivery
services.
CWSs
should
submit
their
vulnerability
assessments,
vulnerability
assessment
certifications,
and
emergency
response
plan
certifications
to
EPA
by
courier
service
directly
to
a
receiving
location
that
secures
the
information.
EPA
must
maintain
information
related
to
the
vulnerability
assessments
in
such
a
way
as
to
monitor
and
limit
access
to
authorized
individuals.
Access
to
the
information
must
be
limited
to
properly
designated
individuals
as
required
by
the
Agency's
Information
Security
Protocol.

EPA
will
ensure
compliance
with
the
Act
by
tracking
the
submission
of
vulnerability
assessments,
vulnerability
assessment
certifications,
and
emergency
response
plan
certifications.
EPA
will
review
a
statistically
representative
sample
of
the
submitted
vulnerability
assessments
to
ensure
that
all
applicable
requirements
of
the
Act
are
being
met.
In

These

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
In
developing
this
ICR
for
the
requirements
of
the
Act,
EPA
considered
the
requirement
of
the
Small
Business
Regulatory
Enforcement
Fairness
Act
(
SBREFA)
to
minimize
the
burden
of
information
collections
on
small
entities.
Small
entities
include
"
small
businesses,"
"
small
organizations,"
and
"
small
government
jurisdictions."
These
terms
are
defined
below.
3
°
A
small
business
is
any
business
that
is
independently
owned
and
operated
and
not
dominant
in
its
field,
as
defined
by
the
Small
Business
Administration
(
SBA)
regulations
under
Section
3
of
the
Small
Business
Act.

°
A
small
organization
is
any
non­
profit
enterprise
that
is
independently
owned
and
operated
and
not
dominant
in
its
field.

°
A
small
governmental
jurisdiction
is
the
government
of
a
city,
county,
town,
township,
village,
school
district
or
special
district
that
has
a
population
of
fewer
than
50,000.
This
definition
may
also
include
Indian
tribes.

The
major
requirement
under
SBREFA
is
a
regulatory
flexibility
analysis
of
all
rules
that
have
a
"
significant
economic
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities."
Since
EPA
is
not
promulgating
a
rule,
this
ICR
is
not
subject
to
SBREFA.

Considering
the
resources
available
to
small
CWSs,
EPA
is
providing
training
for
conducting
vulnerability
assessments
and
preparing
emergency
response
plans.
EPA
will
also
provide
financial
assistance
to
CWSs,
as
funding
is
appropriated
by
Congress.
However,
EPA
believes
that
the
burden
on
small
systems
will
be
minimal.
In
addition,
the
Act
is
applicable
only
to
CWSs
serving
more
than
3,300
people.
The
smallest
systems,
consequently,
are
not
affected
by
information
collection
activities
covered
in
this
ICR.

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
This
section
describes
the
annual
burden
and
costs
for
the
information
collection
activities
necessary
to
meet
the
requirements
of
Title
IV
of
the
Act.
The
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
CWSs
are
discussed
in
detail
in
Section
6(
a)
and
(
b).
The
Agency's
burden
and
cost
estimates
are
outlined
in
Section
6(
c).
Because
the
Bioterrorism
Act
does
not
specify
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
for
states,
the
states
assume
no
burden
or
costs
for
activities
associated
with
this
ICR.

To
the
extent
possible,
estimates
were
based
on
consultations
with
individuals
who
have
already
prepared
vulnerability
assessments
and
emergency
response
plans.
EPA
emphasizes
that
the
per­
respondent
estimates
represent
the
average
burden
and
cost
over
the
three­
year
period
covered
by
this
ICR
(
2003
through
2005).
Some
respondents
will
incur
higher
(
sometimes
significantly
higher)
costs
and
some
will
fall
below
the
average
(
e.
g.,
some
very
large
systems,
which
represent
a
small
fraction
of
the
total
number
of
systems,
may
spend
over
one
million
dollars
on
their
vulnerability
assessments).
Detailed
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
CWSs
and
EPA
are
provided
in
Exhibits
1,
2,
and
3,
as
well
as
in
Appendix
B.

a)
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
respondent
burden
for
CWSs
is
summarized
in
Exhibit
1.
Appendix
B
provides
detail
of
the
annual
estimated
respondent
burden
for
CWSs
to
complete
the
activities
described
in
section
4(
b)(
ii).
EPA
estimates
a
total
average
annual
respondent
burden
of
2,652,392
hours
for
complying
with
the
requirements
of
Title
IV
of
the
Act.
This
estimate
includes
burden
hours
associated
with
reading
and
understanding
Title
IV
of
the
Act,
preparing
grant
applications
(
if
authorized),
completing
training,
conducting
vulnerability
assessments,
certifying
the
conduct
of
vulnerability
assessments,
preparing
or
revising
emergency
response
plans,
certifying
the
conduct
of
emergency
response
plans,
and
recordkeeping.
The
derivation
of
each
estimate
is
described
below.

Reading
and
Understanding
Requirements
The
estimate
for
the
CWS
burden
to
read
and
understand
the
Act's
requirements
is
8
hours
per
system.
This
is
the
total
burden
per
system
required
for
multiple
key
personnel
to
read
and
understand
the
requirements.
EPA
based
this
estimate
on
its
experience
with
systems
reading
and
understanding
requirements
of
similar
complexity.

Currently,
this
ICR
only
includes
descriptions
of
grant
activities
and
unit
burden
and
costs.
If
Congress
appropriates
funds
for
the
grants,
average
annual
burden
and
costs
for
grant
applications
and
review
will
be
added
to
the
ICR
through
an
Information
Correction
Worksheet
(
ICW).
The
appropriation
will
determine
availability
and
funding
levels
for
new
grants.

13
Preparing
Grant
Applications
The
estimate
for
the
CWS
burden
to
prepare
a
grant
application
is
40
hours
per
system4.
EPA
based
this
estimate
on
its
knowledge
of
the
burden
associated
with
previously
administered
grant
programs.

Training
For
staff
training,
EPA
estimated
that
CWSs
serving
3,301
to
49,999
people
will
require
8
hours,
and
CWSs
serving
50,000
or
more
people
will
require
48
hours.
The
Agency
based
these
estimates
on
preliminary
consultations
with
CWSs
and
EPA
Regional
personnel.

Conducting
Vulnerability
Assessments
The
burden
associated
with
conducting
vulnerability
assessments
is
estimated
based
on
system
size,
with
burdens
ranging
from
85
hours
(
for
the
smallest
systems
required
to
fulfill
the
Act's
provisions)
to
6,794
hours
(
for
the
largest
CWSs).
EPA
based
its
estimates
for
vulnerability
assessment
burden
on
preliminary
consultations
with
CWSs
and
EPA
Regional
personnel
and
on
information
from
previous
grant
applications.

Certifying
Conduct
of
Vulnerability
Assessments
EPA
estimated
that
CWSs
will
require
2
hours
to
prepare
a
vulnerability
assessment
certification,
based
on
the
Agency's
experience
with
similar
certification
requirements.

Preparing
or
Revising
Emergency
Response
Plans
The
estimate
for
the
CWS
burden
to
prepare
an
emergency
response
plan
is
42
hours
for
systems
serving
3,301
to
9,999
people,
213
hours
for
systems
serving
10,000
to
49,999
people,
and
255
hours
for
systems
serving
populations
of
50,000
or
greater.
To
revise
an
emergency
response
plan,
the
Agency
estimated
the
burden
at
28
hours
for
systems
serving
3,301
to
9,999
people,
100
hours
for
systems
serving
10,000
to
49,999
people,
and
120
hours
for
systems
serving
populations
of
50,000
or
greater.
The
Agency
used
a
three­
step
process
to
arrive
at
these
estimates.
First,
based
on
its
consultations
with
CWSs
and
EPA
Regional
personnel,
EPA
estimated
the
burden
required
both
to
prepare
and
to
revise
an
emergency
response
plan.
It
then
estimated
the
percentage
of
these
plans
related
specifically
to
the
security
of
the
system
Public
Health
Security
and

The
quoted
rate
was
$
33.76
in
year
2000
dollars
(
see
http://
stats.
bls.
gov).
For
accuracy,
this
rate
has
been
adjusted
for
inflation
to
2002
dollars
using
the
Employment
Cost
Index
for
Electric,
Gas,
and
Sanitary
Services
(
3Q
2002:
167.2;
4Q
2000:
153.4).
The
rate
in
2002
dollars
is
$
36.80.
In
addition,
60
percent
overhead
was
assumed,
bringing
the
loaded
rate
to
$
58.88
in
2002
dollars.

14
preparing
the
plan.
Finally,
multiplying
the
estimated
unit
burden
for
preparing
or
revising
an
emergency
response
plan
by
the
percentage
of
the
plan
related
to
security
yielded
the
estimated
unit
burden
for
emergency
response
plans
under
the
Act.

Certifying
the
Completion
of
Emergency
Response
Plans
EPA
estimates
that
CWSs
will
require
2
hours
to
prepare
an
emergency
response
plan
certification,
based
on
the
Agency's
experience
with
similar
certification
requirements.

Recordkeeping
EPA
estimates
the
CWS
burden
for
recordkeeping
to
be
0.25
hours
per
record
kept,
based
on
the
Agency's
experience
with
maintaining
records.

Respondent
Costs
Exhibit
1
shows
the
annual
average
costs
for
CWSs
over
the
three­
year
ICR
period.
CWS
labor
costs
are
estimated
by
applying
an
hourly
labor
rate
to
the
burden
hour
estimates
(
as
explained
in
6(
a)
above).
For
purposes
of
calculating
CWS
labor
costs,
EPA
assumed
a
single
average
hourly
wage
rate
of
$
58.88.
The
rate
is
derived
from
the
rate
quoted
by
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
BLS)
for
Standard
Occupational
Classification
(
SOC)
code
11­
1021
(
General
and
Operations
Managers).
5
EPA
estimates
that
CWSs
will
incur
an
average
annual
labor
cost
of
$
156,458,154
for
these
requirements.
Appendix
B
provides
detailed
cost
calculations
for
the
information
collection
activities
covered
by
this
ICR.

CWSs
incur
no
capital
costs
associated
with
this
ICR.
CWSs
are
estimated
to
incur
O&
M
costs
($
82,211
annually)
to
cover
postage
for
submitting
grant
applications
(
when
authorized),
vulnerability
assessments,
vulnerability
assessment
certifications,
and
emergency
response
plan
certifications.
Given
the
sensitive
nature
of
these
materials,
EPA
assumed
that
each
CWS
will
submit
the
required
information
by
certified,
return­
receipt
mail
or
courier
service
at
a
cost
of
$
25.21
to
ship

Agency
Burden
and
Costs
To

Act,
EPA
will
incur
burden
and
costs.
Cost
and
burden
estimates
for
EPA's
activities
associated
with
the
Act
are
detailed
in
Exhibit
2
and
Appendix
B.
For
the
three­
year
ICR
period,
EPA
estimated
that
the
average
annual
burden
to
the
Agency
will
be
6,148
hours.
This
estimate
includes
burden
incurred
by
EPA
staff
for

Reviewing
Grant
Applications
The
estimate
for
the
Agency's
burden
to
review
a
grant
application
varies
by
system
size:
20
hours
to
review
applications
from
systems
serving
3,301
to
49,999
people
and
40
hours
to
review
applications
from
systems
serving
populations
of
50,000
or
greater6.
EPA
based
this
estimate
on
its
experience
with
previously
administered
grant
programs.

Training
EPA
estimated
a
40­
hour
burden
for
selecting
and
administering
contractors
to
train
CWSs
for
preparing
vulnerability
assessments
and
emergency
response
plans.
EPA
derived
this
estimate
from
previous,
similar
outsourcing
of
system
training.

Reviewing
Vulnerability
Assessments
and
Certifications
As
stated
in
Section
5,
EPA
will
ensure
compliance
with
the
Act
by
tracking
the
submission
of
vulnerability
assessments
and
certifications
of
vulnerability
assessment
conduct.
EPA
will
review
a
statistically
representative
sample
of
the
submitted
vulnerability
assessments
to
ensure
that
all
applicable
requirements
of
the
Act
are
being
met.
See
also
paragraph
4(
b)(
ii)
of
this
document
for
additional
discussion
of
the
conduct
of
a
vulnerability
assessment.
Based
on
EPA's
recent
experience
with
vulnerability
assessments,
the
Agency
has
estimated
an
average
review
time
for
each
CWS
size
category
as
follows:

°
0.6
hours
for
systems
serving
3,301
to
49,999
people.
°
1.1
hours
for
systems
serving
50,000
to
99,999
people.
°
1.3
hours
for
systems
serving
100,000
or
more
people.

These
estimates
are
weighted
averages
based
on
the
anticipated
review
time
and
the
number
of
reviews
that
EPA
will
conduct.

Reviewing
Emergency
Response
Plan
Certifications
EPA
estimated
that
it
will
incur
0.25
hours
of
burden
to
review
each
certification
of
emergency
response
plan
completion.
EPA
based
this
estimate
on
its
experience
reviewing
certifications
for
other
EPA­
administered
programs.

Recordkeeping
To
both
file
and
secure
the
records
required
by
Title
IV
of
the
Act,
EPA
estimated
that
it
will
incur
a
0.25­
hour
burden
for
each
record
and
an
additional
2,080
hours
annually
for
security.
The
Agency
estimated
this
burden
based
on
its
experience
with
maintaining
similar
records.
The
annual
security
burden
is
for
one
staff
member
devoted
full­
time
to
security
of
those
records.

For
the
6,148
burden
hours,
EPA
will
incur
annual
labor
costs
of
$
354,966
to
implement
the
Act's
requirements.
The
following
assumptions
were
used
to
develop
a
cost
estimate
for
EPA
activities
associated
with
Title
IV
of
the
Act:

°
The
average
salary
and
benefits
for
EPA
staff
is
at
the
GS
13,
Step
5
level
of
$
120,093.7
°
There
are
2,080
hours
per
person­
year.

°
The
average
hourly
rate
is
$
57.74.

EPA
also
incurs
$
166,667
in
annual
O&
M
costs
for
providing
vulnerability
assessment
development
training
to
CWSs.
This
estimate
begins
with
the
assumption
that
each
contractor
hired
to
provide
training
will
cost
$
50,000.
Assuming
ten
trainers
(
roughly
one
for
each
Region),
this
amounts
to
$
500,000
over
the
three­
year
ICR
period.
Although
EPA
may
distribute
grant
monies
should
they
be
authorized
by
Congress,
availability
and
funding
for
new
grants
have
not
yet
been
determined.

In
addition
to
the
labor
costs
incurred
for
these
activities,
EPA
cost
estimates
include
the
cost
of
security
enhancements
designed
to
protect
contents
of
the
vulnerability
assessments.
These
are
considered
capital
costs,
which
are
estimated
at
$
16,667
annually.

estimates
the
number
of
such
CWSs
at
8,487.
The
total

Reasons
For
Change
In
Burden
Since
this
is
the
initial
ICR
for
a
new
requirement,
this
ICR
does
not
modify
an
existing
ICR
and
thus
does
not
change
existing
burden.

6(
g)
Burden
Statement
The
public
reporting
burden
for
collections
included
in
this
ICR
is
detailed
in
Exhibit
3
above.
The
annual
respondent
burden
is
estimated
to
average
117.9
hours
per
respondent
per
year,
which
is
attributed
to
CWSs.
This
estimate
includes
time
for
reading
and
understanding
the
requirements,
completing
training,
conducting
a
vulnerability
assessment,
certifying
that
the
vulnerability
assessment
was
conducted,
preparing
or
revising
an
emergency
response
plan,
certifying
the
completion
of
an
emergency
response
plan,
and

the
required
records.

resources
expended
by
people
to
generate,
