The Department of Energy proposes to collect information that is required for submission under the U.S. AP. Collecting this information from those entities that are actually performing declarable activities at DOE Locations provides the most effective and efficient way for DOE to identify such declarable activities and the locations associated with such activities, and to assemble accurate and timely information on such activities. All reporting requirements that are applicable to respondents making their declarations through DOE can be found in Article 2.a of the U.S. AP. These activities are considered to be funded, specifically authorized or controlled by, or carried out on behalf of, the United States, by virtue of the fact that the Department of Energy, as an agency of the U.S. Government, controls all activities, regardless of performer, that occur at its installations. (5) Respondents: Respondents will primarily include DOE Management and Operations (M&O) contractors operating DOE installations and facilities. DOE estimates that 10–15 respondents will submit declarations under the U.S. AP; however, the number will fluctuate on an annual basis. Because any person performing a declarable activity at a location for which DOE is the Lead Agency must report that activity through DOE, and because the identity of such persons might change from year to year as declarable activities are initiated or terminated, DOE cannot estimate with certainty the total number of respondents subject to this collection of information. Likewise, it cannot estimate with certainty the number of small businesses, if any, that would be affected by this collection. (6) Estimated Number of Burden Hours: The burden in person-hours of responding to the proposed collection of information will depend on the number of declarable activities at the respondent’s location. This effort might range from as low as 40 hours, for a location with one or two declarable activities, to as many as 400 hours, for a location with 30–40 declarable activities. This effort includes annual effort expended in maintaining and training on using the software provided by DOE to assemble and report the information as well as making the declaration.
