Abstract: This ICR renewal will cover the information collection
activities associated with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements
for individuals, firms and state and local government entities
conducting lead-based paint (LBP) activities or renovations of target
housing and child-occupied facilities (COFs); training providers; and
states/territories/tribes/Alaskan native villages.
Form numbers: 8500-25, 8500-27, 747-B-99-002, 9600-050, 9600-051,
and 9600-052.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR include persons who are engaged in LBP activities and/or
perform renovations of target housing or COFs for compensation, dust
sampling, or dust testing; or who perform LBP inspections, lead hazard
screens, risk assessments or abatements in target housing or COFs; or
who provide training or operate a training program for individuals who
perform any of these activities; or state, territorial or Native
American agencies that administer LBP activities and/or renovation
programs.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 745).
Estimated number of respondents: 441,034 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 6,273,748 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $360,166,618 (per year), which includes
$17,400,556 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 1,022,428 hours
in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects several adjustments
to the estimates including revisions to the estimated number of
respondents based on the number of respondents reporting to EPA for the
prior information collection and revisions based on other market
factors. Changes in burden estimates reflect changes within the housing
renovation market, as measured by EPA's FLPP database, which tracks LBP
and RRP activity over time, as reported to the Agency. This change is
an adjustment.
