AGENCY:
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this
document announces the availability of
and solicits public comment on an
Information Collection Request (ICR)
that EPA is planning to submit to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). The ICR, entitled: ‘‘Pollution
Prevention (P2) Grantee Data Collection
in Standard Electronic Format’’ (EPA
ICR No. 2728.01; OMB Control No.
2070–NEW), represents a new ICR.
Before submitting the ICR to OMB for
review and approval under the PRA,

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.
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: Pollution Prevention (P2)
Grantee Data Collection in Standard
Electronic Format.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No.2728.01
and OMB Control No. 2070–NEW.
ICR status: This ICR is a new
information collection activity. Under
the PRA, 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, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal
Register or by other appropriate means,
such as with the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers for
certain EPA regulations in title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: This ICR presents EPA’s
estimates for the burden and costs
associated with the information
collection activities related to pollution
prevention grant programs and the
collection of activity and results data
from the grantees via a standard
electronic format.
Pollution prevention (P2) means
reducing or eliminating pollutants from
entering any waste stream or otherwise
being released into the environment
prior to recycling, treatment, or
disposal. EPA’s P2 program operates
three grant programs and is developing
two new grant programs. The three
existing programs are: The Pollution
Prevention State Tribal Assistance
Grants (P2 STAG); the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law Pollution Prevention
Grants (P2 BIL); and the Source
Reduction Assistance (SRA) Grants. The
P2 STAG and SRA grants are funded
through recurring appropriations and
require grantees to provide matching
funds. The P2 BIL grants, which are
funded through the 2021 Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also
referred to as the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL), are also STAG
but do not require grantees to provide
matching funds. The two new grant
programs under development are: The
Pollution Prevention Grant:
Environmental Justice Through Safer/
Sustainable Products (P2 EJ Products);
and the Pollution Prevention Grant:
Environmental Justice in Communities
(P2 EJ Facilities). The P2 EJ Products
and P2 EJ Facilities grants will also be
supported by BIL funding and, as such,
do not require grantee matching funds.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:16 Feb 14, 2023
Jkt 259001
EPA’s goal in developing a standard
electronic format is to provide a
consistent manner of data collection
from grant-funded projects so that
ultimately the information collected can
be inputted into a database which is
searchable and sharable. To date, EPA
has developed two templates in MS
Excel format. The templates include two
forms for two types of P2 and SRA
projects: one for projects providing
direct technical assistance to businesses
(EPA Form 9600–047 (Template #1))
and one for projects supporting
recognition and leadership programs or
providing P2 technical assistance to
broad audiences, including webinars,
roundtables, tool development, research
and demonstration projects (EPA Form
9600–048 (Template #2)). The
completed templates will be collected
annually by Regional grant
administrators, who will be responsible
for reviewing the data prior to database
upload. EPA is in the process of
completing similar templates for the two
new grant programs and anticipates the
reporting burden will be similar to the
two existing grant programs.
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.
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 14 to 20 per
response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this ICR may
include entities identified by the North
American Industrial Classification
System (NAICS) code 99200, i.e., State
Governmental entities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory for grant recipients.
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 275 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1 (per
year).
Estimated total annual estimated
burden hours: 5,123 hours (per year).
Estimated total annual costs:
$431,778 (per year), includes $0
annualized capital or operation and
maintenance 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
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking
nominations for technical experts to
serve as Special Government Employees
(SGEs) on a review panel under the
authority of the Board of Scientific
Counselors (BOSC), a federal advisory
committee to the Office of Research and
Development (ORD). Selected experts
will review ORD’s draft documents
detailing scientific studies supporting
the development of transcriptomicbased toxicity values and their
implementation as a new EPA
Transcriptomic Assessment Product
(ETAP). The ETAP is a proposed ORD
assessment product that utilizes a
standardized short-term in vivo study
design and data analysis procedures to
develop transcriptomic-based toxicity
values for data poor chemicals. The
review will take place between April
and July 2023. Submission of
nominations should be made via the
BOSC website at: https://www.epa.gov/
bosc.
DATES: Nominations should be
submitted by March 3, 2023, per
