The Clean Water Act authorizes states [tribes] to assume the section 404 permit program for discharges of dredged or fill material into certain waters of the U.S. Implementing regulations establish specific information that must be submitted to EPA when a state/tribe requests program assumption and while administering the program. There are three types of information collected for different needs. The three parts are: 1) Information needed for EPA to review and approve state or tribal requests to assume the program; 2) information needed from permit applicants for reviewing and processing the permit application; and 3) information the state or tribe must submit to EPA in their annual report summarizing program administration.

The burden estimate for program assumption requests included in the annual burden estimate decreased since the previous ICR as the that ICR included the three-year total number of hours instead of annual numbers. This ICR corrected that number to reflect the average annual number of hours. The burden estimate for permit review increased because, while the estimated number of permits reviewed by a state per year decreased, there was an increase in the number of hours spent reviewing each permit due to the increase in the number of times applicants requested a review of permit options and mitigation options.
