Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 196 / Tuesday, October 13, 2009 / Notices
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR Part 9.
Abstract: EPA tips and complaints
Webform is intended to provide an easy
and convenient means by which
members of the public can supply
information to EPA regarding suspected
violations of environmental law. The
decision to provide a tip or complaint
is entirely voluntary and use of the
Webform when supplying a tip or
complaint is also entirely voluntary.
Those persons that provide tips need
not supply contact information or other
personal identifiers. Those who do
supply such information, however,
should know that this information may
be shared by EPA with appropriate
administrative, law enforcement, and
judicial entities engaged in investigating
or adjudicating the tip or complaint.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average one-half hour per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
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 of
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.
It is expected that a total of 630
people will complete the tips and
complaints form each month, for a total
of 7,560 people per year. Given that
people typically arrive at the form with
all of the information needed to
complete the form, EPA expects that the
form will take no more than 30 minutes
to complete. Accordingly, EPA expects
that the total annual burden hours will
be approximately 3,780. EPA does not
anticipate any capital or start-up costs
associated with completion of this form.
EPA also does not anticipate that, in
the usual case, burden hours associated
with the tips and complaint form will
translate into actual labor costs; EPA
expects relatively few tips or complaints
to be submitted as part of an employee’s
official duties. For this reason, EPA
believes that the relevant ‘‘labor costs’’
associated with the form are best
calculated as the wage opportunity cost

to people of the form’s estimated burden
hours. The wage opportunity cost of the
burden hours associated with this form
can be estimated by multiplying the
total number of burden hours by the
average national hourly wage reported
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
BLS reports the average hourly wage in
July 2007 to have been $19.88 per hour;
accordingly, the total wage opportunity
cost associated with the tips and
complaints form would be
approximately $75,146 per annum.
Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
There is an increase of 1980 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
increase reflects the fact that tips and
complaints are being filed at a higher
rate than originally anticipated, a strong
indication of the success of this
program. There has been no change in
the information being reported or the
estimated burden per respondent.
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)(l)(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
