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 ICR covers the
information collection activities
associated with voluntary participation
in the Pesticide Environmental
Stewardship Program (PESP). The
program uses the information collected
to establish partner membership,
develop stewardship strategies, measure
progress towards stewardship goals, and
award incentives. PESP is an EPA
partnership program that encourages the
use of integrated pest management
(IPM) strategies to reduce pests and
pesticide risks. IPM is an approach that
involves making the best choices from
among a series of Pest management
practices that are both economical and
pose the least possible hazard to people,
property, and the environment.
PESP member includes pesticide endusers and organizations which focus on
training, educating, and/or influencing
pesticide users. To become a PESP
member, an organization submits an
application and a five-year strategy
outlining how environmental and
human health risk reduction goals will
be achieved through IPM
implementation and/or education. The
program encourages PESP members to
track progress towards IPM goals such
as: reductions in unnecessary use of
pesticides, cost reductions, and
knowledge shared about IPM
methodologies. Entities participating in
PESP also benefit from technical
assistance, and through incentives for
achievements at different levels.
Form Numbers: EPA Form No. 9600–
01, 9600–02, and 9600–03.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this ICR are
pesticide user companies and
organizations, or entities that practice
IPM or promote the use of IPM through
education and training.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
419 (total).
Frequency of response: Annual and
on occasion.
Total estimated burden: 50,093 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b)
Total estimated cost: $3,501,544 (per
year). This is the estimated burden cost;
there are no capital investment or

maintenance and operational costs for
this information collection.
III. Are there changes in the estimates
from the last approval?
There is an increase of 2,428 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects
EPA’s updating of burden estimates for
this collection based upon historical
information on the number of PESP
members. Based on revised estimates,
the number of IPM Promoters has
decreased, while the number of IPM
users has increased, and the number of
National IPM users has decreased since
the last ICR renewal. Although the
estimated burden per response has not
changed for any category, the shift in
membership types has resulted in a net
increase in the overall burden.
In addition, OMB has requested that
EPA move towards using the 18question format for ICR Supporting
Statements used by other federal
agencies and departments and is based
on the submission instructions
established by OMB in 1995, replacing
the alternate format developed by EPA
and OMB prior to 1995. EPA intends to
update this Supporting Statement
during the comment period to reflect the
18-question format, and has included
the questions in an attachment to this
Supporting Statement. In doing so, the
Agency does not expect the change in
format to result in substantive changes
to the information collection activities
or related estimated burden and costs.
IV. 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 technical
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1013.
Title: Mitigation of Orbital Debris.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of an
existing collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 46
respondents; 46 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 8
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i),
301, 303, 307, 308, 309, and 310.
Total Annual Burden: 368 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $88,550.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of
information.
Needs and Uses: On April 24, 2020,
the Commission released a Report and
Order, FCC 20–54, IB Docket No. 18–
313, titled ‘‘Mitigation of Orbital Debris
in the New Space Age’’ (Orbital Debris
Report and Order). In this Orbital Debris
Report and Order, the Commission
updated its rules related to orbital
debris mitigation, including application
requirements. The new rules are
designed to ensure that the
Commission’s actions concerning radio
communications, including licensing
U.S. spacecraft and granting access to
the U.S. market for non-U.S. spacecraft,
mitigate the growth of orbital debris,
while at the same time not creating
undue regulatory obstacles to new
satellite ventures. The action will help
to ensure that Commission decisions are
consistent with the public interest in
space remaining viable for future
satellites and systems and the many
services that those systems provide to
the public. The rule revisions also
provide additional detail to applicants
on what information is expected under
the Commission’s rules, which can help
to increase certainty in the application
filing process. While this information
collection represents an overall increase
in the burden hours, the information

collection serves the public interest by
ensuring that the Commission and
public have necessary information about
satellite applicants’ plans for mitigation
of orbital debris.
Specifically, FCC 20–54 contains the
new or modified information collection
requirements listed below, applicable to
applicants seeking experimental
licenses for satellite operations under
part 5 of the Commission’s rules, as well
as to license grantees under part 97
submitting notifications to the
Commission prior to launch of a
satellite amateur station:
(1) Existing disclosure requirements
have been revised to include specific
metrics in several areas, including:
Probability that the space stations will
become a source of debris by collision
with small debris and meteoroids that
would cause loss of control and prevent
disposal; probability of collision
between any non-geostationary orbit
(NGSO) space station and other large
objects; and casualty risk associated
with any individual spacecraft that will
be disposed by atmospheric re-entry.
(2) Where relevant, the disclosures
must include the following: Use of
separate deployment devices, distinct
from the space station launch vehicle,
that may become a source of orbital
debris; potential release of liquids that
will persist in droplet form; and any
planned proximity operations and
debris generation that will or may result
from the proposed operations, including
any planned release of debris, the risk
of accidental explosions, the risk of
accidental collision, and measures taken
to mitigate those risks.
(3) The existing disclosure
requirement to analyze potential
collision risk associated with space
station(s) orbits has been modified to
specify that the disclosure identify
characteristics of the space station(s)’
orbits that may present a collision risk,
including any planned and/or
operational space stations in those
orbits, and indicate what steps, if any,
have been taken to coordinate with the
other spacecraft or system, or what other
measures the operator plans to use to
avoid collision.
(4) For NGSO space stations that will
transit through the orbits used by any
inhabitable spacecraft, including the
International Space Station, the
disclosure must include the design and
operational strategies, if any, that will
be used to minimize the risk of collision
and avoid posing any operational
constraints to the inhabitable spacecraft.
(5) The disclosure must include a
certification that upon receipt of a space
situational awareness conjunction
warning, the operator will review and
