project and to provide a final project
report summarizing outcomes and major
findings of each project. EPA’s policy on
performance measurement in assistance
agreements is an implementation
outcome under the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA
section 1115(a)(4) and section 1116(c)).
EPA’s innovation piloting efforts are
multi-media in nature and include
programs authorized under the full
range of authorizing legislation (e.g., the
Clean Air Act, Section 103(b)(3) (42
U.S.C. 7403(b)(3)) the Clean Water Act,
Section 104(b)(3) (33 U.S.C. 1254(b)(3));
the Solid Waste Disposal Act, Section
8001 (42 U.S.C. 6981); the Toxics
Substances Control Act, Section 10 (15
U.S.C. 2609); the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, Section
20 (7 U.S.C. 136r); and the Safe Drinking
Water Act, Sections 1442(a) and (c) (42
U.S.C. 1(a) and (c)).
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 44 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
annual respondents: 1270.
Frequency of response: 35 quarterly;
1234 annually.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.2.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
7748 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
$331,460. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $331,460 and an
estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:26 Jun 14, 2007 Jkt 211001
Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
There is an increase of 2292 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
increase reflects the need to collect
information on project performance and
outcomes in the form of quarterly
reporting and final project reporting for
current and future projects that is not
addressed in other ICRs.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR
