It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov. </p> <p> The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.

While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register.

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. 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 EPAs guidance. </p> <p id="p-12" data-page="93574"> <em>Form Numbers:</em> None. </p> <p id="p-13" data-page="93574"> <em>Respondents/affected entities:</em> Entities that are potentially affected by this action are states that have primacy enforcement authority and meet the definition of “state” under the SDWA. </p> <p id="p-14" data-page="93574"> <em>Respondent's obligation to respond:</em> Mandatory under Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of SDWA. </p> <p id="p-15" data-page="93574"> <em>Estimated number of respondents:</em> 55 (total). </p> <p id="p-16" data-page="93574"> <em>Frequency of response:</em> Annually. </p> <p id="p-17" data-page="93574"> <em>Total estimated burden:</em> 4,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined at <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-5/section-1320.03#p-1320.03(b)" class="cfr external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">5 CFR 1320.03(b)</a>. </p> <p id="p-18" data-page="93574"> <em>Total estimated cost:</em> $730,000 (per year), which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. </p> <p id="p-19" data-page="93574"> <em>Changes in the Estimates:</em> There is no change in burden hours 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. The costs have increased solely due to increases in labor rates, see Tables 1 and 2 for further information. </p> <div class="signature"> <p class="signature-name">Courtney Kerwin, </p> <p class="signature-title">Director, Information Engagement Division.</p> </div> </div> <div class="end-matter"> <p class="frdoc">[<a href="/d/2024-27730">FR Doc. 2024-27730</a> Filed 11-26-24; 8:45 am]</p> <p class="billing-code">BILLING CODE 6560-50-P</p> </div> </div> </div><div class="fr-seal-block fr-seal-block-footer"><span class="h6">Published Document: 2024-27730 (89 FR 93573)</span></div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix" style="height: 100px;"></div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div> </main> <div class="site-footer" id="footer"> <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-3"> <h2>Home</h2> <ul class="bullets"> <li><a href="/" title="Home">Home</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-3"> <h2>Sections</h2> <ul class="bullets"> <li><a href="/money">Money</a></li> <li><a href="/environment">Environment</a></li> <li><a href="/world">World</a></li> <li><a href="/science-and-technology">Science & Technology</a></li> <li><a href="/business-and-industry">Business & Industry</a></li> <li><a href="/health-and-public-welfare">Health & Public Welfare</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-3"> <h2>Browse</h2> <ul class="bullets"> <li><a href="/agencies">Agencies</a></li> <li><a href="/topics">Topics (CFR Indexing Terms)</a></li> <li><a href="/documents/current">Dates</a></li> <li><a href="/public-inspection/current">Public Inspection</a></li> <li><a href="/presidential-documents/executive-orders">Executive Orders</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-3"> <h2>Search</h2> <ul class="bullets"> <li><a href="/documents/search">Document Search</a></li> <li><a href="/documents/search#advanced">Advanced Document Search</a></li> <li><a href="/public-inspection/search">Public Inspection Search</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-3"> <h2>Reader Aids</h2> <ul class="bullets"> <li><a href="/reader-aids/office-of-the-federal-register-announcements">Office of the Federal Register Announcements</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/using-federalregister-gov">Using FederalRegister.Gov</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/understanding-the-federal-register">Understanding the Federal Register</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/recent-updates">Recent Site Updates</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/federal-register-statistics">Federal Register & CFR Statistics</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/videos-tutorials">Videos & Tutorials</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/developer-resources">Developer Resources</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/government-policy-and-ofr-procedures">Government Policy and OFR Procedures</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/congressional-review">Congressional Review</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-3"> <h2>My FR</h2> <ul class="bullets"> <li><a href="/my/">My Clipboard</a></li> <li><a href="/my/subscriptions">My Subscriptions</a></li> <li><a href="/my/comments">My Comments</a></li> <li><a href="/auth/sign_in">Sign In</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-3"> <h2>Information</h2> <ul class="bullets"> <li><a href="/reader-aids/government-policy-and-ofr-procedures/about-this-site">About This Site</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/government-policy-and-ofr-procedures/about-this-site#legal-status">Legal Status</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/government-policy-and-ofr-procedures/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/government-policy-and-ofr-procedures/privacy">Privacy</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/government-policy-and-ofr-procedures/accessibility">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="/reader-aids/government-policy-and-ofr-procedures/foia">FOIA</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.archives.gov/eeo/policy/no-fear-notice.html">No Fear Act</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/write/newsletter/2024-may">Continuity Information</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="zendesk-link"> <a href="" class="btn site-feedback-button" aria-label="Site Feedback"> <span class="icon-fr2 icon-fr2-Chat "></span> <span class="desktop-only">Site Feedback</span> </a> </div> </div> </body> </html>
