WTP would be estimated in the context of the severity of the individual’s asthma and the activities taken to manage the disease. The results will help to provide researchers and policy analysts with evidence on the potential benefits of actions policies that influence acute asthma episodes. Through a cooperative agreement from EPA (R–83062801–0), researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have designed and are proposing to conduct two surveys of adult individuals. One survey would be administered to a sample of adults with physician-diagnosed asthma who have experienced asthma symptoms during the 12 months preceding the survey. One survey focuses on eliciting adults’ WTP to reduce the asthma episodes that they experience. A related survey would be administered to a sample of parents of children with physician-diagnosed asthma who have experienced asthma symptoms during the 12 months preceding the survey. In this case, the focus is on eliciting parents’ WTP to reduce the asthma episodes that their children experience. The purpose of the proposed ICR is to gain approval for the conduct of a series of focus groups and individual interviews as part of the survey development process. Focus groups and cognitive interviews are a crucial component in the survey development process as they allow survey developers to identify problematic approaches, terminology, and graphics in the survey instrument. A total of 50 interviews are anticipated, including focus group responses and individual interviews. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 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; 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 only burden imposed by the interviews on respondents will be the VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:50 Mar 16, 2007 Jkt 211001 time required to participate in focus group discussions and answer interview questions. The survey developers estimate that this will require an average of 2 hours per respondent. With a total of 50 respondents this requires a total of 100 hours. Based on an average hourly rate of $27.31, including employer costs of all employee benefits, the survey developers expect that the average perrespondent cost for the pilot survey will be $54.62 and the corresponding onetime total cost to all respondents will be $2,731.00 (Employer costs per hour worked for employee compensation and costs as a percent of total compensation: Civilian workers, total compensation, December 2006 https://stats.bls.gov/ news.release/ecec.t02.htm). Since this information collection is voluntary and does not involve any special equipment, respondents will not incur any capital or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Respondents/Affected Entities: Individuals or Households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 50. Frequency of Response: One-time. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 100. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,731.00, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Dated: March 12, 2007. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

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 display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: EPA charges user fees for administering its vehicle and engine certification programs. In 2004 the fees were extended to include certification applications for recently regulated categories of off-road vehicles and engines.
