Title: WASTEWATER PERMIT QUARTERLY NONCOMPLIANCE REPORT
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 10/22/1984
	Date Received in OIRA: 07/24/1984
Terms of Clearance: This ICR contains a good answer to question (2), although further specific information on EPA's use of the report would be useful. Also, the discussion on estimating the burden hours is good, but where is the burden to collect the data summarized in the report covered under the Paperwork Reduction Act? . Please submit a letter to the OMB Desk Officer for Water by January 31 1985 that more thoroughly explains EPA's use of the report, in particular, how does EPA use the report to evaluate the effectiveness of the NPDES program, what offices use the report, what management decisions are/have been based upon the report, what is "essential" abo collecting "routine national compliance statistics" (what is the essential routine use)? Also describe in the letter EPA's efforts to use an automated system to generate the report. If there are any other computer systems used to maintain NPDES program data (eg. permit data, compliance data, etc.) please fully describe them. EPA's effort to automate the QNCR may be a good example of an agency effort to improve its management of information and we may be able to use it as example for other agencies to follow. The last two lines of question (14) should be deleted. This ICR is approved through April 1985 because it will be combined wi NPDES ICRs by that date.
