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: Reporting in the FIFRA Grant Database.
EPA ICR No.: 2511.04.
OMB Control No.: 2070-0198.
ICR Status: This ICR is currently approved through July 31, 2026.
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
for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, 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
[[Page 51754]]
certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: This ICR describes the burden activities for the
electronic collection of information for the pre-award burden activity
for creating a work plan and the post-award and after-the-grant award
activities related to reporting accomplishments to implement EPA's
Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) State and
Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) program (7 U.S.C. 136u). This ICR
assesses the reporting burden for FIFRA activities in the STAG program
that is also covered in an ICR titled ``General Performance Reporting
for Assistance Programs'' (EPA ICR No. 2802.01; OMB Control No. 2090-
0038). The Agency grant ICR, ((EPA ICR No. 2802.01; OMB Control No.
2090-0038) collects information to track progress made by the Agency's
financial assistance programs, with respect to effectiveness (e.g., the
extent to which projects achieve their objectives, goals, and targets),
and efficiency (e.g., the extent to which projects deliver activities
and outputs on schedule and within budget). The reporting requirements
for all recipients of EPA grants or cooperative agreements (assistance
agreements) is covered by ICR, titled ``EPA's General Regulation for
Assistance Programs ICR'' (EPA ICR No. 0938.18; OMB Control No. 2030-
0020).
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:
Form number(s): 5700.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR include state, local governments, Indian tribes, and U.S.
territories that are grantees of Federal funds participating in the
FIFRA STAG program. The North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes are identified in question 12 of the ICR.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory. 2 CFR 1500.
Estimated number of potential respondents: 80.
Frequency of response: Biannually.
Total estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 2.
Total estimated burden: 25,872 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated costs: $2,580,269 (per year), includes $0
annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?
There is no change in the number of hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. The only change is the update of the wage rates for
both respondents and the Agency. This change is an adjustment.
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 person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
