The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Respondents/affected entities: US EPA Montreal Protocol Award nominees can be individuals, organizations, government, public- or private-sector, and domestic or international, as can the entities that nominate the nominees. The following is a list of industries that may be affected by information collection requirements covered under this ICR (followed by their NAICS codes), based on a review of the pool of past award nominees: Public administration (92); chemical manufacturing (325); professional, scientific and technical services (541); voluntary health organizations (813212); environment, conservation and wildlife organizations (813312); business associations (813910); professional organizations (813920). This list is intended to be illustrative; entities from other industries may elect to apply to the U.S. EPA Montreal Protocol Awards program, or nominate potential awardees. Estimated total number of potential respondents, annually: 25. Frequency of response: Annual. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 62.5. This burden estimate includes time required to read the nomination instructions; provide contact information for the nominee/nominator; contact references to obtain their consent to include their names and contact information on the nomination form; write a summary of accomplishments in no more than 600 words; create supporting materials (this is optional); write a cover letter; submit the nomination via mail, electronic mail or fax; and, review subsequent nominations for merit. Estimated total annual costs: $2,080. This cost estimate is associated with all the activities listed under estimated total annual burden hours, above. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:28 Jul 06, 2010 Jkt 220001 What is the next step in the process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
