Abstract: The purpose of this information collection request is to assist the EPA in selecting federal advisory committee members who will be appointed as Special Government Employees (SGEs), mostly to the EPA’s scientific and technical committees. To select SGE members as efficiently and cost effectively as possible, the Agency needs to evaluate potential conflicts of interest before a candidate is hired as an SGE and appointed as a member to a committee. Agency officials developed the ‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Special Government Employees at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,’’ also referred to as Form 3110–48, for greater inclusion of information to discover any potential conflicts of interest as recommended by the Government Accountability Office. Form numbers: EPA Form 3110–48. Respondents/affected entities: Candidates for membership as SGEs on EPA federal advisory committees. SGEs are required to file a confidential financial disclosure report (Form 3110– 48) when first appointed to serve on EPA federal advisory committees, and then annually thereafter. Committee members may also be required to update the confidential form before each meeting while they serve as SGEs. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to serve as an SGE on an EPA federal advisory committee (5 CFR 2634.903). Estimated number of respondents: 325 (total). Frequency of response: When first appointed to serve on an EPA advisory committee and annually thereafter. Committee members may also be required to update the confidential form before each meeting while they serve as SGEs. Total estimated burden: 325 hours per year (1 hour per respondent). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $88,400 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Information Engagement Division.
