Abstract:
The information collection activities will occur primarily at the program level through the State Capitalization Grant Agreement / Intended Use Plan, Biennial Report, the Drinking Water National Information Management System (DWNIMS) and the Project & Benefits Reporting (PBR) System. The information on the Intended Use Plan (IUP) is needed annually to describe how the State intends to use available Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) funds for the year to meet the objectives of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and to further the goal of protecting public health. The Biennial Report is needed to provide detailed information on how the State met its goals and objectives of the previous two fiscal years as stated in the IUP and grant agreement. The SDWA requires this information to ensure the national accountability, adequate public review and comment, fiscal integrity, and consistent management needed to achieve public health and SDWA compliance objectives. To ensure expeditious and timely use of the Fund, financial data must be collected annually through DWNIMS. Project level data will be collected on a quarterly basis using the PBR System to ensure SDWA eligibility and assess public health results from DWSRF projects.

Short Statement:
There is a net decrease in total respondent burden hours from the previous ICR. As stated above, this is due to burden calculated with alternating 25 states and 26 states each year producing biennial reports. Since ICRs capture 3-year timeframes, some ICRs will have more years of 26 state reports then other. There is also a correction to the calculation of EPA burden hours. These have been increased to more accurately align EPA review of audits with State burden of audits, with both tables assuming each state will audit every year.
