What information is EPA particularly
interested in?
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it
to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.
What should I consider when I prepare
my comments for EPA?
You may find the following
suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as
possible and provide specific examples.
2. Describe any assumptions that you
used.
3. Provide copies of any technical
information and/or data you used that
support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or
costs, explain how you arrived at the
estimate that you provide.
5. Offer alternative ways to improve
the collection activity.
6. Make sure to submit your
comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA,
be sure to identify the docket ID number
assigned to this action in the subject
line on the first page of your response.
You may also provide the name, date,
and Federal Register citation.

and middle school students, parents,
and educators (informal and external
educators).
Title: The SunWise Program.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1904.06,
OMB Control No. 2060–0439.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on 02/28/2011. 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 goal of the SunWise
School Program is to teach children and
their caregivers how to protect
themselves from overexposure to the
sun. The SunWise Program recognizes
the challenge of measuring the progress
and evaluating the effectiveness of an
environmental and public health
education program where the ultimate
goal is to reduce risk and improve
public health. Therefore, the continual
and careful evaluation of program
effectiveness through a variety of means,
including data from pre- and postintervention surveys, tracking and
monitoring of classroom activities and
school policies, and advisory board
meetings, is necessary to monitor
progress and refine the program.
Surveys to be developed and
administered include: (1) Teacher
questionnaire for measuring their and
their students’ receptivity to the
educational component of the Program;
and (2) Teacher survey component
soliciting information about the
development of a recognition and
incentives program. The data will be
analyzed and results will indicate the
Program’s effect on participants’ sunprotection attitudes and behaviors, and
will help guide the program’s further
improvement. Additionally, information
is collected when educators sign up to
receive a Tool Kit either on the Web or
in person, and when individuals
participate in an on-line sun safety
tutorial/certification program.
Responses to the collection of
information are voluntary. All responses
to the collection of information remain
anonymous and confidential.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
E:\FR\FM\03SEN1.SGM
03SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 171 / Friday, September 3, 2010 / Notices
estimated to average 10 to 30 minutes
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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s annual
estimate, which is only briefly
summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 5,800.
Frequency of response: Annual.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
1,248 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$82,423.88. This does not include an
estimated burden cost of $61,552.96 and
an estimated cost of $100,000 for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Are there changes in the estimates from
the last approval?
Yes. Hours were removed for the
certification program collection include
in the previous ICR. Fewer hours for
EPA are anticipated for the survey work
due to a decreased level of
sophistication in the analysis and
decreased effort being needed to solicit
survey responses. More hours were
added for teachers completing the
educator survey and administering the
student survey. Finally, registering such
a large number of teachers has resulted
in more hours needed at EPA. Hours
and burden for educators is about the
same; hours for students has also
decreased significantly. The bottom line
burden hours increased along with the
total cost.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Sep 02, 2010
Jkt 220001
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(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

make its comments on EISs issued by
other Federal agencies public.
Historically, EPA has met this mandate
by publishing weekly notices of
availability of EPA comments, which
includes a brief summary of EPA’s
comment letters, in the Federal

been including its comment letters on
EISs on its Web site at: https://

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.
What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?
You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.
What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
elementary and middle school students, parents, and educators (informal
and external educators).
Title: The SunWise Program.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1904.06, OMB Control No. 2060-0439.
ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on 02/28/
2011. 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 goal of the SunWise School Program is to teach
children and their caregivers how to protect themselves from
overexposure to the sun. The SunWise Program recognizes the challenge
of measuring the progress and evaluating the effectiveness of an
environmental and public health education program where the ultimate
goal is to reduce risk and improve public health. Therefore, the
continual and careful evaluation of program effectiveness through a
variety of means, including data from pre- and post-intervention
surveys, tracking and monitoring of classroom activities and school
policies, and advisory board meetings, is necessary to monitor progress
and refine the program. Surveys to be developed and administered
include: (1) Teacher questionnaire for measuring their and their
students' receptivity to the educational component of the Program; and
(2) Teacher survey component soliciting information about the
development of a recognition and incentives program. The data will be
analyzed and results will indicate the Program's effect on
participants' sun-protection attitudes and behaviors, and will help
guide the program's further improvement. Additionally, information is
collected when educators sign up to receive a Tool Kit either on the
Web or in person, and when individuals participate in an on-line sun
safety tutorial/certification program. Responses to the collection of
information are voluntary. All responses to the collection of
information remain anonymous and confidential.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is
[[Page 54145]]
estimated to average 10 to 30 minutes 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.
The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's annual
estimate, which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential respondents: 5,800.
Frequency of response: Annual.
Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,248 hours.
Estimated total annual costs: $82,423.88. This does not include an
estimated burden cost of $61,552.96 and an estimated cost of $100,000
for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?
Yes. Hours were removed for the certification program collection
include in the previous ICR. Fewer hours for EPA are anticipated for
the survey work due to a decreased level of sophistication in the
analysis and decreased effort being needed to solicit survey responses.
More hours were added for teachers completing the educator survey and
administering the student survey. Finally, registering such a large
number of teachers has resulted in more hours needed at EPA. Hours and
burden for educators is about the same; hours for students has also
decreased significantly. The bottom line burden hours increased along
with the total cost.
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)(1)(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 FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
