and duration of any startup, shutdown,
or malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These reports are used by
EPA to determine compliance with the
standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Hospital, medical, infectious waste
incinerators.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce
and Part 62, Subpart HHH).
Estimated number of respondents: 58
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
Total estimated burden: 38,800 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $4,370,000 (per
year), includes $479,000 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
overall decrease in the respondent and
Agency burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens due to a decrease in the
respondent universe since the previous
ICR. Based on the 2013 Agency analysis,
21 HMIWI units (16 privately owned, 1
federally owned, and 4 state owned)
have been shut down over the past
several years. The revised estimate
results in a decreased in respondent
labor hours, number of responses, and
capital/O&M costs.
However, there is a slight adjustment
increase in respondent hours for States
due to a change in assumption. In this
ICR, we assume all respondents will
take some time to re-familiarize
themselves with the regulatory
requirements.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What information is EPA particularly
interested in?
Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA
specifically solicits comments and
information to enable it to:
1. 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.
PO 00000

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimates of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
4. 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.
II. What information collection activity
or ICR does this action apply to?
Title: School Integrated Pest
Management Awards Program.
ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2531.01.
OMB control number: OMB Control
No. 2070—NEW.
ICR status: This ICR is for a new
information collection activity. 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 Code
of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: This new ICR covers
information collection activities
associated with EPA’s award program
that encourages the use of Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) as the preferred
approach to pest control in the nation’s
schools. IPM is a smart, sensible, and
sustainable approach to pest control that
emphasizes the remediation of pest
conducive conditions. IPM combines a
variety of pest management practices to
provide effective, economical pest
control with the least possible hazard to
people, property, and the environment.
These practices involve exclusion of
pests, maintenance of sanitation, and
the judicious use of pesticides. The
EPA’s statutory authorities for this
collection of information are set forth in
the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990,
E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM
21MRN1
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
15108
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2016 / Notices
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the Food
Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996.
The Agency’s IPM implementation
efforts are based on a wholesale
approach aimed at kindergarten through
12th grade public and Tribal schools.
The Agency intends to use the
information collected through this ICR
to encourage school districts to
implement IPM programs and to
recognize those that have attained a
notable level of success. Because IPM
implementation occurs along a
continuum, the School IPM (SIPM)
incentive program will recognize each
milestone step a school district must
take to begin, grow, and sustain an IPM
program.
This program has five awards
categories—Great Start, Leadership,
Excellence, Sustained Excellence, and
Connector. The first four categories are
stepwise levels that are reflective of the
effort, experience, and, ultimately,
success that results from implementing
EPA-recommended IPM tactics that
protect human health and the
environment. Schools with pest
infestations are not only exposed to
potential harm to health and property,
but also to stigmatization. The School
IPM recognition program will give
districts across the nation the
opportunity to receive positive
reinforcement through public
recognition of their efforts in
implementing pest prevention and
management strategies.
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 16.5 hours
annually per response. Burden is
defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
The ICR, which is available in the
docket along with other related
materials, provides a detailed
explanation of the collection activities
and the burden estimate that is only
briefly summarized here:
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this ICR
are school districts, or other entities
represent by them.
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: Annual average of 53.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: One per
application.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
870 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$72,000. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $72,000 and an estimated
cost of $0 for capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs.

III. 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. EPA will issue another Federal
Register document 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 person listed
