SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with 40 CFR 51.103, DEP submitted for EPA to review
and approve revisions to Florida's SIP under the CAA. The SIP revision
removes four rules from the SIP that are unnecessary or have been
superseded by federal regulations. The rules requested to be removed
from the SIP are Rule 62-210.100, Florida Administrative Record
(F.A.C.), ``Purpose and Scope;'' Rule 62-212.100, F.A.C., ``Purpose and
Scope;'' Rule 62-296.407, F.A.C., ``Portland Cement Plants;'' and Rule
62-297.100, F.A.C., ``Purpose and Scope.''

II. Analysis of State's Submittal

    On February 20, 2013, the DEP submitted a SIP revision to EPA for
review and approval. This SIP revision requests the removal of Rules
62-210.100, 62-212.100, and 62-297.100, F.A.C., each of which is titled
``Purpose and Scope,'' because they contain unnecessary, introductory
language for the associated rule chapters. This introductory language
serves no regulatory purpose and can be removed without being
considered a relaxation of a regulation. The language merely introduces
the regulatory chapter that follows and does not impose any regulatory
requirements.
    This SIP revision also removes Rule 62-296.407, F.A.C., ``Portland
Cement Plants,'' from the current SIP. Particulate matter (PM)
emissions from Portland cement kilns and clinker coolers are more
stringently regulated under 40 CFR part 60, subpart F (Standards of
Performance for Portland Cement Plants), and 40 CFR part 63, subpart
LLL (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From the
Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry), than under Rule 62-296.407,
F.A.C. The Florida DEP has been delegated the authority to implement
and enforce both part 60, subpart F, see 55 FR 23077 (June 6, 1990) and
63 FR 50163 (September 21, 1998), and part 63, subpart LLL, see 40 CFR
63.99(a)(10). All Portland cement facilities in Florida originally
subject only to Rule 62-296.407, F.A.C., have either been permanently
shut down or modernized such that the emission limits set forth in the
federal regulations currently apply. Actual PM emissions are expected
to decrease in the future as facilities come into compliance with 40
CFR part 63, subpart LLL, as most recently amended on September 11,
2015. See 80 FR 54728.
    These changes are consistent with section 110 of the CAA and meet
the regulatory requirements pertaining to SIPs. Pursuant to CAA section
110(l), the Administrator shall not approve a revision of a plan if the
revision would interfere with any applicable requirement concerning
attainment and reasonable further progress (as defined in CAA section
171), or any other applicable requirement of the Act. The revision of
Rules 62-210.100, 62-212.100, 62-296.407, and 62-297.100 and, F.A.C.,
are approvable under section 110(l) because they would not interfere
with the attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS.

III. Final Action

    Pursuant to section 110 of the CAA, EPA is approving the revision
to the Florida SIP removing unnecessary rules from the SIP. EPA has
evaluated Florida's February 20, 2013, submittal and has determined
that it meets the applicable requirements of the CAA and EPA
regulations and is consistent with EPA policy.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no
adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this
Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should
adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective September 19,
2017 without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments
by August 21, 2017.
    If EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a document
withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the rule will
not take effect. All public comments received will then be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period. Parties interested in commenting
should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public
is advised that this rule will be effective on September 19, 2017 and
no further action will be taken on the proposed rule.
    Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and

     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 19, 2017. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

Clean Watershed Needs Survey ( Renewal)

Office of Wastewater Management EPA ICR Number 0318.10 OMB CONTROL NUMBER 2040 0050 July 2005 SUPPORTING STATEMENT A. JUSTIFICATION Section 1 Identification of the Information Collection Title Clean Watersheds Needs Survey ( Renewal) ICR Number 0318.10, OMB Control Number 2040 0050 Abstract The Clean Watersheds Needs Survey ( CWNS) is required by Sections 205( a) and 516( b)( 1) of the Clean Water Act. It is an inventory of publicly owned wastewater treatment works ( POTWs) in the United States as well as an estimate of how many POTWs are needed to be built. The Survey is a joint effort of the States, EPA Headquarters ( Office of Wastewater Management ( OWM)) and EPA Regions. The Survey records cost and technical data associated with all POTWs, existing and proposed, in the United States. The States provide this information to EPA. EPA achieves national consistency in the final results through the application of uniform guidelines and validation techniques.

This ICR extends the option for States to update their CWNS data for their own purposes between now and the 2008 CWNS. Assuming ten states choose to update facilities in this between survey period, with an average of 600 facilities per state and an average of 50% of facilities needing updates requiring 1.55 hours, the annual total overall voluntary burden to the ten States would be 1,550 hours.

Section 2 Need for and Use of the Collection Need for the Collection EPA provides an estimate of needed POTWs construction requirements for each State, Territory, and the District of Columbia to Congress under Section 516( b) of the Clean Water Act which says in part: " The Administrator in cooperation with the States, including water pollution control agencies and other water pollution control planning agencies, shall make ( A) a detailed estimate of the cost of carrying out the provisions of this Act; ( B) a detailed estimate, biennially revised, of the cost of construction of all needed POTWs in each of the States."

Further, section 205( a) of this Act provides that " allotments for fiscal years which begin after the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975, shall be made only in accordance with a revised cost estimate made and submitted to Congress in accordance with Section 516( b) of this Act and only after such revised cost estimate shall be approved by law specifically enacted hereafter."

How the Data Will Be Used:

The collected data support cost estimates which are used by Congress in developing allotment formulas for the distribution of funding under the State Revolving Fund Program under Title VI of the Clean Water Act. The Agency uses the data in support of water programs, identifying costs to clean up and control pollution in watersheds of all States in the nation.

Secondary uses of the data include:   Local, state, and other uses of the data for NPDES permit writing, Total Maximum Daily Load and other environmental program support   Wastewater treatment technology and environmental measures support related to EPA's Sustainable Infrastructure effort   Private industry efforts to target technical support for facilities Section 3 Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria Nonduplication: We avoid duplication of effort in the following ways: To begin the new Survey, EPA provides each State their exact inventory of data from the preceding survey to update and make revisions to. EPA updates only the cost data for inflation before facility data are made available to the States for review and update. States and Regions are informed of the cost inflation factor applied and updating procedures at the EPA/ State start up Survey meetings.

The States also have access to technical and cost data contained in the CWNS data system from previous Surveys. This eliminates the need for States to provide statistics which already have been approved and ensures national consistency. The CWNS data system provides States the ability to transfer NPDES permit data from the Permit Compliance System directly into the Needs Survey data system. Additionally, States can use the internet WebRIT mapping tools to click on locations and have the location data transferred into the Needs Survey data system.

Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB Public comments to the March 14, 2005 Federal Register Announcement of this ICR: We received no response during the public comment period concerning the burden. The information requested in the CWNS is collected from each State using an automated online data system in a Windows 98 2000 XP environment. At the beginning of the data collection period, each State is provided two user manuals: 1) a technical and comprehensive system manual, and 2) a user manual with detailed policies and procedures specific to the objectives and conduct of the CWNS 2004. At the end of each CWNS, a report is written and published highlighting the national results of the survey and describing the methodology used to collect, document, and quality assure all of the State data included therein. The Report includes many tables and graphs of the various categories of needs throughout the text, as well as, percentile changes in environmental results since the 2000 CWNS. The appendices of the Report are detailed state by state and national summary tables. States are allowed continuous updating on the newly modernized database, but are issued a final date that EPA will accept State updates for inclusion in the CWNS Report to Congress. The time period, established at the start up meeting, for conducting the actual data collection and completing all survey updates is at least nine months in length from the start up.

The newly modernized data system was used first for the CWNS 2000, is very user friendly and a national system update is built into the software. The new CWNS system is designed to help States store and organize much more relative data to facilitate their ability to assess impacts to their most critically impaired watersheds as a whole. States may fully utilize the extraneous technical data fields pertaining to georeferencing data, operation and maintenance details, and funding source types and amounts, etc. Depending on the quality and quantity of data States enter, States can download data into a GIS and perform analyses to determine environmental benefit tradeoffs. This use aids in the efficient use of limited funding to achieve the best water quality improvements for environmental dollars spent.

This ICR covers the option for States to update their data for their own purposes between now and the 2008 CWNS.

Consultations OWM and an advisory workgroup composed of EPA Regional and state representatives determine the basic approach and methodology to be used in the Survey. This group has monthly conference calls and meets one time a year, as necessary. OWM consulted the workgroup in developing update criteria and procedures for the 2004 CWNS, to be incorporated in the user manuals distributed to States and EPA Regional coordinators at the Survey start up meetings. The criteria and procedures established for the 2004 CWNS will be in effect for the optional data update period between the 2004 and 2008 CWNS.

Effects of Less Frequent Collection The Needs Survey is required to be conducted every two years. In 1994, a survey was mandated for the collection of drinking water needs. Therefore, after the completion of the 1992 CWNS, the CWNS began to be conducted every four years, alternating with the drinking water survey. Funding constraints and information security requirements delayed the 2000 CWNS more than one year. Each item in the CWNS is necessary to accomplish one or more goals of the Clean Water Act ( CWA). Failure to collect the information could put EPA, States and Regions in the position of being unable to respond to its Congressional mandate or, responding in an untimely manner with information that is inaccurate and incomplete. The Needs Survey data play a major part in evaluating costs for regulations such as the Total Maximum Daily Load ( TMDL) rule, the Sanitary Sewer Overflow ( SSO) rule, and Storm Water Phase I and Phase II. The CWA and state revolving fund allotment formula is overdue for reauthorization by Congress and the needs data submitted by States will play an important role in determining a fair appropriation of funds for them. Additionally, the data is needed to support the variety of secondary uses described at the end of Section 2.

General Guidelines The Survey follows OMB's general guidelines Confidentiality No confidentiality information is used.

Sensitive Questions The Needs Survey does not ask for information considered sensitive or which appears to fall within the types of confidential data protected from release under the Public Information Act.

Section 4 The Respondents and The Information Requested Respondents/ NAICS Codes The Standard Industrial Classifications for the respondents affected by this collection activity are as follows:

Establishment Group Number Industry Number Water Pollution Control 924 924110 Sewage Plants and Systems 221 221320 Information Requested The types of data that will be collected relate to wastewater infrastructure and the costs thereof, including publicly owned wastewater treatment and conveyance systems that need to be built or upgraded. Cost and technical data for infrastructure to control wet weather pollution are collected, including storm water, combined sewer and sanitary sewer overflows. Nonpoint source and small community needs also are captured in this survey.

Section 5 The Information Collected   Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management Agency Activities Every four years, the data are collected, reviewed and summarized over a two year time period to give EPA sufficient time to complete review and verification and to prepare the final report. The States and Regions also review the collected data during this time. Specifically, the States are responsible for:

  collecting, reviewing and updating the data on municipal wastewater treatment facilities, storm water, and non point source projects.   submitting proper documentation where necessary.   justifying certain specified categories of need that are based on construction cost curves.   addressing questions about population anomalies.

EPA Headquarters is responsible for:

  setting national documentation standards and identifying data sources.   managing the Survey and its data base to ensure national consistency.   acting as the final arbitrator in disputes.   preparing the final Report to Congress and disseminating Survey information.   reviewing documentation to ensure its acceptability and updating records.   performing file search of specific facilities and cataloguing the type of documentation.   assigning proper basis of estimates to all cost estimates and applying EPA Cost Curve procedures where appropriate.   reviewing and approving new facility data submitted by the States.   performing quality assurance checks on needs and population data.   deleting needs estimates for facilities that cannot be properly documented in accordance with the established list of acceptable criteria.

EPA Regions are responsible for:

  assisting in the review of selected facilities.   acting as arbitrator in State/ EPA disputes.   arranging Regional briefings on conduct of the data collection and results of the survey Collection Methodology And Management EPA consistently has used current technology to complete the Survey. In 1974, the data were collected on 35 page questionnaires ( EPA 1 Form), manually completed by the States. This method placed a large burden on State and EPA regional personnel and resources. In 1976, the EPA 1 Form was redesigned and considerably reduced in size and was made computer compatible. In 1983, the EPA 1 Form was reviewed and revised to two pages which were computer compatible. Subsequent Surveys were conducted in a similar manner. The 1986 Survey preprinted information for States to update on one  page fact sheets which were easier to use than the computerized EPA 1 Form.

Since 1988, the Needs Survey review and update process are computerized to further reduce the workload for the States and Regions in collecting and updating facility data, through computer screened entry and verification of data and approval by EPA Headquarters.

EPA will continue to use the computerized database approach to maintain minimal burden on States and Regions for the 2004 Survey. In addition, relationship edits have been built into the system to reduce errors and research time. States will now have the capability to maintain data year round and utilize the data with other State GIS information.

Small Entity Flexibility Collection of information associated with the Needs Survey does not involve small businesses. The primary respondents are the States, usually the State Water Pollution Control Agency or the Department of Environmental Protection.

Collection Schedule In years past, the Needs Survey was planned and collected in a specific two year timeframe, because the national needs estimates are required to be summarized in a Report to Congress on a biennial basis. In 1994, a survey was mandated for the collection of drinking water needs. Therefore, after the completion of the 1992 CWNS, the CWNS began to be conducted every four years, alternating with the drinking water survey.

However, the 2004 Survey data inventory may be updated by States at their convenience and on a continual basis between now and the 2008 CWNS. On consultation with the States, it is estimated that 10 States will voluntarily update their data during this 3 year period, for an average of 3.33 States per year. 10 Section 6 Estimating The Burden And Cost Of The Collection Estimating Respondent Costs At an average State staff compensation and benefits rate of $ 34.72 per hour ( Department of Labor, September 2004), the annual upper end burden hour estimate of 1,550 hours equates to overall voluntary State costs of $ 53,816. There are no additional costs beyond costs associated with the above burden hours estimate.

Assuming ten states choose to update facility data between now and the 2008 CWNS, with an average of 600 facilities per state and an average of 50% of facilities needing updates every four years, the annual total overall voluntary burden for States is 1,550 hours.

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 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 listed 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 docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. OW 2003 0019, which is available for public viewing at the Water Docket in the EPA Docket Center ( EPA/ DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC.
