DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before November 27, 
2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OW-2011-0443, to (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our

564-3755; email address: roland.kevin@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that EPA will be collecting are available in the public 
docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone

information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Program ICR 
examines public water systems, primacy agencies (i.e., states and 
tribes with primary enforcement authority) and tribal operator 
certification provider burden, and costs for ``cross-cutting'' 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements (i.e., the burden and costs 
for complying with drinking water information requirements that are not 
associated with contaminant-specific rulemakings). The following 
activities have recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are 
mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 142: The Consumer 
Confidence Report Rule (CCR), the Variance and Exemption Rule (V/E 
Rule), General State Primacy Activities, the Public Notification Rule 
(PN) and Proficiency Testing Studies for Drinking Water Laboratories. 
The information collection activities for both the Operator 
Certification and the Capacity Development Program are driven by the 
grant withholding and reporting provisions under sections 1419 and 
1420, respectively, of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The information 
collection for the Tribal Operator Certification Program is driven by 
grant eligibility requirements outlined in the Drinking Water 
Infrastructure Grant Tribal Set-Aside Program Final Guidelines and the 
Tribal Drinking Water Operator Certification Program Guidelines.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: New and existing public water 
systems and primacy agencies.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory for compliance with 
40 CFR parts 141 and 142.
    Estimated number of respondents: 151,724 (total).
    Frequency of response: Varies by requirement.
    Total estimated burden: 3,769,213 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: $187,603,000 (per year), includes $42,103,000 
in operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 344,195 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is a result of removing burden 
associated with variances, exemptions and constructed conveyances to 
reflect no new activity in these categories; updating relevant baseline 
information for each rule with the most current and accurate 
information available (e.g., public water system inventory); and, 
updating burden to incorporate the results of consultation with 
stakeholders. Where appropriate and available, estimated violation and 
other associated rates have also been updated to reflect current 
information on rule compliance.

Courtney Kerwin,
Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
