Title: Assessment of EPA Partnership
Programs.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2225.01.
ICR Status: This ICR is for a new
information collection activity. 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 title 40 of the CFR,
after appearing in the Federal Register
when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on
the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking
approval for a three-year generic
clearance from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
develop a generic ICR to collect data to
be used for performance measurement
of EPA Partnership Programs. This will
be a voluntary collection of information
to assess the activities of EPA
Partnership Programs. Performance

measurement data collected will detail
awareness of associated environmental
results. EPA proposes to administer
surveys and questionnaires to assess
activities for program purpose and
design, strategic planning, program
management, and program results to
determine if the goals of the program are
being met.
All assessments undertaken under
this ICR will follow stringent
procedures to ensure that data are
collected and used properly and
efficiently. This ICR will provide
anecdotal data for the purpose of
informing EPA of the perceived
effectiveness of partnership programs
and will also allow partnership
programs to collect data on the
environmental results of partner
activities due to participation. The
information collection is voluntary, and
will be limited to non-sensitive data
concerning participation in partnership
programs.
To help fulfill the broad mandate of
protecting human health and the
environment, EPA works with
businesses, communities, state and local
governments, and other organizations to
achieve environmental goals through
partnership programs. Partnership
programs provide organizations with the
information and assistance necessary to
achieve and maintain various
environmental goals.
EPA believes that measuring the
performance of partnership programs is
important to ensure that partnership
programs are reaching the intended
audience, providing valuable resources,
and achieving the desired
environmental results. Understanding
this will allow EPA to better design and
manage these partnership programs to
meet the needs of the participants and
to meet EPA’s environmental goals. A
generic ICR will significantly increase
the ability of EPA Partnership Programs
to: Determine and evaluate the
effectiveness of these partnership
programs as well as help the programs
obtain data to successfully complete
PART reviews; increase the consistency
of program performance data as an
alternative/adjunct to traditional
regulatory approaches for achieving
environmental results; minimize
approval burden on OMB as
submissions will be shorter and of
higher quality via the generic ICR
process; and reduce burden on potential
respondents by limiting the number of
requests for information.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 2.2 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.

Participants in all of EPA’s Partnership
Programs, including businesses,
governments, and members of the
community.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5,334.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
11,556 hours.

Air Act and Amendments Section 112r.
It is possible that other Federal agencies
besides EPA, as well as State agencies
and private organizations, may adopt
the AEGL values for their programs. As
