Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals: EPA Strategic Plan Information on Source Water Protection

The Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) and the Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC) are pleased to submit the following comments on the proposed Information Collection Request (ICR) on EPA ICR No. 1816.07 (OMB Control No. 2040-0197) for “Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals: EPA Strategic Plan Information on Source Water Protection.” ASDWA and GWPC are the professional associations that represent the collective interests of the nation’s state drinking water and ground water programs responsible for implementation of Federal Safe Drinking Water Act regulations and voluntary source water and wellhead protection programs and actions. Collectively, the members of our organizations are responsible for reporting on this EPA strategic plan measure and will be most impacted by this ICR. The following comments are intended to broadly address the proposed rule, but they do not necessarily reflect the concerns of individual states.
