DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Availability of a Record of Decision (ROD) for a
Written Re-evaluation of the Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the Relocation of the Panama City-Bay County International
Airport, Panama City, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of availability of a Record of Decision (ROD).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public that it
has issued a ROD for a Written Re-evaluation of the FEIS for the
Relocation of the Panama City-Bay County International Airport, Panama
City, Florida. The FEIS for the relocation of the airport was issued in
May 2006. The FAA issued a ROD for this federal action in September
2006. Airport facilities are currently being constructed at the new
airport site. This ROD is issued for a Written Re-evaluation of the
FEIS because the Panama City-Bay County Airport and Industrial District
(Airport Sponsor) has proposed to extend the primary runway (Runway
16L-34R) from 8,400 feet to 10,000 feet. This ROD approves the
extension and other minor changes as shown on a revised Airport Layout
Plan (ALP) that has been submitted to the FAA. Subsequent to this ROD,
the FAA will conditionally approve the revised ALP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Copies of this ROD and Written Re-evaluation
are available for public review at the following locations during
normal business hours: Panama City-Bay County International Airport
Administration Office, 3173 Airport Road, Panama City, Florida 32405,

ICR Title Annual Public Water System Compliance Report (Renewal)
EPA ICR No. 1812.06, OMB Control No. 2020-0020

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a) Title of the Information Collection

      ICR Title: Annual Public Water System Compliance Report (Renewal)
      EPA ICR No. 1812.06, OMB Control No. 2020-0020

      1(b) Abstract

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Section 1414 (c)(3)(A) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that each State (a term that includes states, commonwealths, territories and Indian tribes) that has primary enforcement authority under the Safe Drinking Water Act shall prepare, make readily available to the public, and submit to the Administrator of EPA, an annual report of violations of national primary drinking water regulations in the State.  These Annual State Public Water System Compliance Reports are to include violations of maximum contaminant levels, treatment requirements, variances and exemptions, and monitoring requirements determined to be significant by the Administrator after consultation with the states.  To minimize a State's burden in preparing its annual statutorily-required report, EPA issued guidance that explains what Section 1414(c)(3)(A) requires and provides model language and reporting templates.  EPA also annually makes available to the States a computer query that generates for each State (from information States are already separately required to submit to EPA's national database on a quarterly basis) the required violations information in a table consistent with the reporting template in EPA's guidance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Fifty-five States (including Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Navajo Nation) currently have primary enforcement authority under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Navajo Nation was approved for primacy on December 6, 2000.   Currently the State of Wyoming and the District of Columbia neither have primary enforcement authority nor are they seeking primary authority, so the number of 55 States is unlikely to change over the next three years of this ICR. The cost of this ICR to each State with primary enforcement authority will be approximately $8,586.84 during each of the three years of this ICR.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the current active ICR without any "Terms of Clearance."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The "Affected Public" are the states, tribes and territories that have primary enforcement authority.  The burden to the "Affected Public" may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - the Annual Public Water Systems Compliance Report (Renewal). The burden to the "Federal Government" is attributed entirely to work performed by federal employees or government contractors.  This burden may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  the Annual Public Water Systems Compliance Report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  Need for and Use of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      As stated above, Section 1414 (c)(3)(A) of the Safe Drinking Water Act requires that each State that has primary enforcement authority under the Act shall prepare, make readily available to the public, and submit to the Administrator of EPA, an annual report of violations of national primary drinking water regulations in the State.  The States' reports are to include violations of maximum contaminant levels, treatment requirements, variances and exemptions, and monitoring requirements determined to be significant by the Administrator after consultation with the States.  Section 1414(c)(3)(B) of the Safe Drinking Water Act requires EPA to prepare and make available to the public an annual report that summarizes and evaluates the reports submitted by the States pursuant to subparagraph (A).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA summarizes the data submitted by the states and uses that information in preparing its annual report that provides a national overview of the compliance performance of public water systems.  In its annual national report, EPA must also use the violations data provided by the States to make recommendations concerning the resources necessary to improve compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under Section 1414 (c)(3)(A) of the Safe Drinking Water.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a) Nonduplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       The information to be obtained under this ICR has not been collected by EPA or any other federal agency.  States are required to report public water system violations to EPA's national database on a quarterly basis, but states cannot satisfy their obligations under Section 1414(c)(3)(A) simply by referring interested parties to EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System/Federal System (SDWIS/FED).  EPA works with states to ensure they can efficiently extract from SDWIS/FED the calendar year violations data they need to prepare a report in which the violations data are readily available to the public.  Some States elect not to use the EPA-provided query to extract the essential reporting data from SDWIS/FED, and use their own data systems instead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register (82 FR 45585) on September 29, 2017. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c) Consultations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       To obtain comments from actual respondents regarding the annual state public water systems compliance report and the corresponding burden hour estimates, EPA staff consulted with the following individuals:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name
Telephone
Organization
Betsy Lichti
916-322-9598
California Water Boards
Michele Risko
512-239-1689
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Keith Mensch
302-741-8589
Delaware Department of Health and Social Services

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      As States have now completed seventeen of these annual reports, most of them simply generate the necessary data from SDWIS/FED, confirm the accuracy of the numbers, and update the previous year's report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Because Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of the Safe Drinking Water Act requires the States to prepare these reports annually and to make the reports readily available to the public, States do not have the option of collecting this information less frequently.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(e) General Guidelines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(f) Confidentiality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      None of the information collected as part of the States' annual public water systems compliance report comprises confidential business information (CBI), the required information consists of violations data and other information that are a matter of public record.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(g) Sensitive Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The reporting or recordkeeping requirements for the States' annual public water systems compliance report do not include sensitive questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.  The Respondents and the Information Requested
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The respondents of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are states that have received primary enforcement authority under the Safe Drinking Water Act.  The term "State," in this context can include states, commonwealths, territories, and Indian Tribes.  Currently, primary enforcement authority has been approved for every State except Wyoming, and for the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Navajo Nation and the Northern Mariana Islands.  Primary enforcement authority has not been approved for the District of Columbia or for Indian Tribes except for the Navajo Nation.  EPA has primary enforcement authority in those jurisdictions and is likely to retain that during the three year duration of this ICR.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      4(b) Information Requested
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i)  Data Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In this ICR, all the data that is recorded or reported is required by Section 1414 (c)(3)(A) of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A state must make the following reports:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State name and reporting period
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full report, including a description of the data in the Summary of Violations chart, specific information on the violation categories for each rule identified on the chart, a list of the systems that had maximum contaminant level or treatment technique requirement violations, explanations of any aggregated number of violations, and a description of systems that were out of compliance during the year, a discussion of variance or exemption violations;
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary report, including a description of the data on violations, a list of the systems that had maximum contaminant level or treatment technique requirement violations, and a discussion of variance or exemption violations; and
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reviewed and completed Summary of Violations chart.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to these items, States are encouraged to provide optional information as outlined EPA guidance.  EPA provides guidance to the States to assist them in the development of their statutorily-mandated reports.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic Reporting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The respondents gather inventory and violations data from EPA's SDWIS/FED or from their own databases.  Each year EPA provides the respondents with a computer query that generates for each State the required violations information in a table consistent with the reporting template in EPA's guidance.  States can submit their reports to EPA electronically.  Most States do submit electronic versions of their report to EPA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii)  Respondent Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respondent Activities

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Familiarization with the regulatory requirements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gather inventory and violations data from SDWIS/FED and from their own databases.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review and analyze inventory and violations data from SDWIS/FED and from their own databases.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare summary of violations data from SDWIS/FED and from their own databases.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare report and submit to EPA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make report readily available to the public and distribute a summary of the report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.  The Information Collected:  Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(a) Agency Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agency Activities

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modify guidance documents as necessary and distribute to states and EPA Regional Offices

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare and distribute tools for states and EPA Regional Offices to use to gather data from SDWIS/FED.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer questions from states and EPA Regional Offices.
Review Annual State Public Water System Compliance Reports and data from SDWIS/FED.
Prepare and distribute annual report where EPA directly implements drinking water, and gather information from SDWIS/FED for Indian lands.
Prepare the Annual National Public Water Systems Compliance Report that summarizes and evaluates the annual state reports, and distribute the national report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(b) Collection Methodology and Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA asks States with primary enforcement authority to submit their Annual State Public Water System Compliance Reports in electronic (WordPerfect compatible) and hard-copy format.  Section 1414(c)(3)(A) requires that both the Annual State Public Water Systems Compliance Reports and the State-prepared summaries be accessible to the public.  In its guidance, EPA recommends that States and EPA Regions use one or more of the following mechanisms for making the reports and summaries readily available:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publish an official notice in newspapers regarding the availability of the report or summary;
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conduct a press conference, issue a press release, or incorporate a notice into standard press conferences to announce report availability;
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare notices for distribution in public libraries and other public buildings;
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provide copies of the report for review at public offices and locations, libraries, web sites, state/local departments of health, etc; and
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Include notices of availability in local, state and EPA web sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, EPA's national report, which will summarize the data collected from the states, will be posted on the Internet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      None of the states, commonwealths, or territories affected by this ICR are small entities as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(d) Collection Schedule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      States with primary enforcement authority have six months after the end of each calendar year to prepare their Annual State Public Water Systems Compliance Reports, which are due to EPA on the first of July. Each report covers violations that occurred in a previous calendar year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.  Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the States with primacy for the section of the Safe Drinking Water Act included in this ICR.  The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act.  Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual burden to the states over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 4,400 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1).   The recordkeeping hours shown in Table 1 are zero.  The reporting requirement hours shown in Table 1 are 4,400.  These hours are based on Agency studies, Agency knowledge and experience with the Annual State Public Water System Compliance Reports, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i)  Estimating Labor Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This ICR uses the following labor rates:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Managerial	$144.53
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Technical	$108.28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Clerical	$53.34
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2016. Full-time State Government workers: Mean and Median Hourly, Weekly, and Annual Earnings and Mean Weekly and Annual Hours. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by state government.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii)  Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The only type of state costs associated with the information collection activity in the Safe Drinking Water Act is labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (iii)  Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to the state over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be zero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Table 2 Annual Agency Burden and Costs  -  Annual Public Water Systems Compliance Report presents the estimate Agency burden hours and costs associated with the information collection activities under this ICR.  Other direct cost (copying, printing, telephone, and mailing expenses) are also included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $120,000.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

		Managerial	$64.80 (GS-13, Step 5, $40.50 + 60%)
		Technical	$48.08 (GS-12, Step 1, $30.05 + 60%)
		Clerical	$26.02 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.26 + 60%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2016 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.  The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to federal government employees.  [These rates can be obtained from the OPM web site, http//www.opm.gov/oca/payrates/index/htm.]  Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual Agency Burden and Costs, Public Water Systems Compliance Report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, fifty-five existing respondents will be subject to the standard.  It is estimated that no additional respondents will become subject in the next three years.  EPA does not anticipate any additional states, territories, or tribes will obtain primacy in the next three years.  The total number of annual responses per year is fifty-five, as each state is required to develop and submit one annual report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual labor costs are 4,400.  The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entities are zero.  Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1.  Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, Annual Public Water Systems Compliance Report (pg. 11).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 2,600 labor hours at a cost of $120,000.  See Table 2. Annual Agency Burden and Cost, Annual Public Water Systems Compliance Report (pg. 12).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and summarized below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Respondent Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual labor hours are 4,400.  Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1.  Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, Annual Public Water Systems Compliance Report.  Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average $8,586.84 per response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are zero with the details in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii) The Agency Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 2,600 labor hours at a cost of $120,000.  See Table 2. Annual Agency Burden and Cost, Annual Public Water Systems Compliance Report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      There is no change in burden from the most recently approved.  This is due to two considerations.  First, the requirements under SDWA have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years.  Secondly, the number of states, territories or tribes with primacy has not changed, and is not anticipated to change over the next three years, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There was a small re-allocation of hours between technical staff and clerical staff, but the overall burden hours remained the same. The figures reflected in the estimates of the cost are now rounded to three significant figures.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(g) Burden Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 80 hours per response.  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 valid OMB Control Number.  The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
