SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to submit an 
information collection request (ICR), ``National Estuary Program 
(Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1500.08, OMB Control No. 2040-0138) to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing so, EPA is 
soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed 
information collection as described below. This is a proposed extension 
of the ICR, which is currently approved through June 30, 2017. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 24, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
2006-0369, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by 
email to [email protected], or by mail to: EPA Docket Center,

    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the

information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vince Bacalan, Oceans and Coastal 
Protection Division, Office of Wetlands, Oceans, and Watersheds, (Mail

202-566-1336; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the 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 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it 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. EPA 
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. 
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and 
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The National Estuary Program (NEP) involves collecting 
information from the state or local agency or nongovernmental 
organizations that receive funds under Sec. 320 of the Clean Water Act 
(CWA). The regulation requiring this information is found at 40 CFR 
part 35.
    Prospective grant recipients seek funding to develop or oversee and 
coordinate implementation of Comprehensive Conservation Management 
Plans (CCMPs) for estuaries of national significance. In order to 
receive funds, grantees must submit an annual workplan to EPA which are 
used to track performance of each of the 28 estuary programs currently 
in the NEP. EPA provides funding to NEPs to support long-term 
implementation of CCMPs if such programs pass a program evaluation 
process. The primary purpose of the program evaluation process is to 
help EPA determine whether the 28 programs included in the National 
Estuary Program (NEP) are making adequate progress implementing their 
CCMPs and therefore merit continued funding under Sec. 320 of the Clean 
Water Act. EPA also requests that each of the 28 NEPs receiving Sec. 
320 funds report information that can be used in the GPRA reporting 
process. This reporting is done on an annual basis and is used to show 
environmental results that are being achieved within the overall 
National Estuary Program. This information is ultimately submitted to 
Congress along with GPRA information from other EPA programs.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are those state or local agencies or nongovernmental 
organizations in the National Estuary Program (NEP) who receive grants 
under Section 320 of the Clean Water Act.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a 
benefit (Section 320 of the Clean Water Act).
    Estimated number of respondents: 28 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 5,460 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $247,338 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There will likely be an increase in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB. This increase is due to program evaluations taking place in the 
next three years, compared to only two years in the currently approved 
ICR. Note that these numbers will be updated in the final FR Notice.

    Dated: January 12, 2017.

Acting Director, Oceans and Coastal Protection Division.
