    Title: Underground Injection Control Program Information (EPA ICR 
No. 0370.13; OMB Control No. 2040-0042). This is a request for renewal 
of a currently approved information collection without any change in 
the substance or in the method of collection.
    Abstract: The Underground Injection Control (UIC) program under the 
Safe Drinking Water Act established a Federal and State regulatory 
system to protect underground sources of drinking water from 
contamination by injected materials. Owners or operators of underground 
injection wells must obtain permits, conduct environmental monitoring, 
maintain records, and report results to EPA or the State primacy 
agency. States must report to EPA on permittee compliance and related 
information. The information is reported using standardized forms, and 
the regulations are codified at 40 CFR Parts 144 through 148. The data 
are used to ensure the safety of underground sources of drinking water.
    Burden Statement: The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for 
this collection of information is estimated to average 56 hours per 
respondent annually. This estimate includes the time needed to review 
instructions, search existing data sources, gather and maintain the 
data needed, and complete and review the forms included in this 
collection of information.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of underground injection wells, 
and States.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 6,199.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 361,714 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion, quarterly, annually.
