This Information Collection Request (ICR) calculates the burden and costs associated with information collection and reporting activities from the 2022 CGP.

Short Statement:
The burden and costs associated with the entire NPDES program, including the administration of the 2017 CGP, are accounted for in the 2017 NPDES Program ICR (EPA ICR number 0229.23 OMB control no. 2040-0004). Certain changes in the proposed 2022 CGP would require revisions to the NPDES Program ICR to reflect changes to the information collection requirements. Consistent with the past approach of changes to the NPDES Program, EPA is reflecting the paperwork burden and costs associated with the difference between the proposed 2022 CGP and the 2017 CGP in this ICR instead of revising the NPDES Program ICR. EPA will consolidate the burden and costs into the NPDES Program ICR (and discontinue this ICR) in 2022 when the NPDES Program ICR is reissued.
