Affected Entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action include
customers who request our products,
including, but not limited to: teachers
and day care workers; principals;
superintendents; students; parents; care
givers; nurses; health care providers;
state and local health departments;
facility managers; maintenance
personnel; custodians; school business
officials; private industry; home owners;
home builders and architects; real estate
industry personnel; commercial
building owners and operators; and
procurement officials that receive EPA
outreach products and services. The
burden from the product feedback form

that will be provided to these customers
will be minimal.
Title: Assessment of Indoor Air
Quality Outreach Products and Services.
Abstract: The Environmental
Protection Agency is seeking approval
for a three year generic clearance from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to determine how well EPA
outreach products and services meet
customers’ needs and to assess the
effectiveness of its outreach products
and services. This will be a voluntary
collection of information to gauge
customer satisfaction with outreach
products and services, measure any
resulting changes in knowledge or
behavior, and evaluate environmental
and human health impacts. EPA
proposes to use assessment surveys to
obtain feedback on outreach products
and services including: documents, Web
sites, and voluntary seminars and
workshops delivered by Headquarters
and Regional voluntary programs to the
community. This feedback will help
EPA improve the quality and delivery of
voluntary tools and services.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
This ICR will provide data for the
purpose of informing EPA of the
effectiveness of outreach products and
services, and customer satisfaction with
outreach products and services. The
information collection is voluntary, and
will be limited to non-sensitive data
concerning the quality of outreach
products and services. EPA will request
feedback from a representative sample
of those who receive products and
services. The data collected will be used
to estimate the rate of effectiveness of
outreach products and services and no
data collected will be used to make
policy decisions.
To help fulfill the broad mandate of
protecting human health and the
environment, EPA provides outreach
products and services to the general
public. Outreach products and services
provide the general public with the
specific information necessary to
achieve and maintain good indoor air
quality. In addition to providing
information on indoor air quality, these
products and services describe ways
people can work to improve the indoor
air quality in their home, work place,
school, etc. Specific behavioral changes
are described in our products and
services that will help improve indoor
air quality. In order to determine the
effectiveness of the products and
E:\FR\FM\16AUN1.SGM
16AUN1
48131
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 157 / Tuesday, August 16, 2005 / Notices
services EPA provides, it is essential to
know to what extent the products and
services impact customer behavior. It is
also essential to know how satisfied
customers are with these products and
services, and if they are fully meeting
their needs. A better understanding of
the effectiveness of EPA’s products will
also provide a better understanding of
the rate of improvement of indoor air
quality among customers receiving our
products.
EPA believes that evaluating outreach
products and services is necessary to
ensure customer needs are met, as well
as to maintain efficient and effective
assistance. Understanding our
customers’ ability to use our tools and
services in their practical applications,
and the rates of use of these tools and
services, will assist the Agency in
planning its future outreach products
and services efforts.
Each product feedback form has a
burden time of five minutes per
respondent. There are three general
questions to be asked of all customers
indicating customer satisfaction with
various outreach products and services.
These questions will identify ways that
products can be strengthened to better
meet our customers’ needs and will
indicate the means by which our
customers heard about our products. A
better understanding of how IED’s
customers learn about its issues and
products will help IED better target its
audiences.
Each of IED’s products addresses
particular IAQ issues and informs the
customer of actions that can be taken to
eliminate or reduce the IAQ problem.
Behavioral change questions inform IED
about what actions people have taken as
a result of the products, and therefore
indicate how effective the product is at
affecting peoples’ behaviors. IED has
developed a question for each of the
major topic areas covered by the
division. One such question will be
included in each product feedback form.
For a small subset of our products,
there is value in understanding what the
customer has learned from a particular
product, in addition to what behavioral
changes they have made. Effective
behavior change is multi-dimensional
and encompasses a set of attributes
including reaction, knowledge, attitude,
skills, intentions and behaviors. These
attributes can be considered milestones
along a roadmap which ultimately leads
to behavioral outcomes. Therefore, we
will be asking a fifth question of these
audiences. This additional question will
add no significant burden time to the
recipient of the questionnaire.
The EPA would like to solicit
comments to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Burden Statement: In order to
minimize the respondent burden,
product feedback form designs will be
simple, convenient, easy to respond to,
and clear in content and purpose.
Product feedback forms will be of
limited scope and require only a short
time to complete. Below is the estimated
project cost and hour burden estimate.
This includes an estimate of the average
annual reporting burden disaggregated
to show the estimated average burden
hours per response, the proposed
frequency of response, and the
estimated number of likely respondents.
For the cost burden to respondents or
record keepers resulting from the
collection of information, this includes
a total capital and start-up cost
component annualized over its expected
useful life, and a total operation and
maintenance component.

other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Burden Statement: In order to minimize the respondent burden,
product feedback form designs will be simple, convenient, easy to
respond to, and clear in content and purpose. Product feedback forms
will be of limited scope and require only a short time to complete.
Below is the estimated project cost and hour burden estimate. This
includes an estimate of the average annual reporting burden
disaggregated to show the estimated average burden hours per response,
the proposed frequency of response, and the estimated number of likely
respondents. For the cost burden to respondents or record keepers
resulting from the collection of information, this includes a total
capital and start-up cost component annualized over its expected useful
life, and a total operation and maintenance component.
