36916 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2011 / Notices 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$476,742, which includes $22,281 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 1,521 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This is due to changes in 

EPA’s estimates of the burden hours and 

number of respondents fulfilling 

reporting and record-keeping 

requirements. 

The development of new substitutes 

resulted in a greater number of persons 

filing a SNAP Information Notice or 

TSCA/SNAP Addendum to increase 

slightly, but also resulted in fewer 

respondents keeping records for 

alternatives that are subject to use 

conditions or narrowed use limits. In 

addition, respondents filing a SNAP 

Information Notice reported a decrease 

in total annual burden of hours when 

collecting data to complete the form and 

when responding to requests for 

additional information. This decrease 

may be attributable to increased 

respondent familiarity with EPA’s 

forms, more examples in the public 

record for respondents to research and 

use in preparing responses, and general 

increased availability of computer 

software and information via the 

Internet.

Title: EPA’s WasteWise Program 

(Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1698.09, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0139. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on June 30, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 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 in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: EPA’s voluntary WasteWise 

program encourages businesses and 

other organizations to reduce solid 

waste through waste prevention, 

recycling, and the purchase or 

manufacture of recycled-content 

products. WasteWise participants 

include partners who commit to 

implementing waste reduction activities 

tailored to their specific needs, and 

endorsers who promote WasteWise and 

recruit organizations to join the 

program. 

WasteWise requires partners to 

register for membership in the program. 

Previously, WasteWise used paper 

forms that we estimate took 40 hours for 

partners and 10 hours for endorsers to 

complete. In 2009, WasteWise 

implemented a web-based data 

management and reporting system for 

the collection and reporting of data. 

Under the new web-based system, 

partners and endorsers enter their data 

on-line. 

The Partner Registration Form 

identifies an organization and its 

facilities registering to participate in 

WasteWise, and requires the signature 

of a senior official that can commit the 

organization to the program. (This form 

is completed on-line and is submitted 

electronically.) Within two months of 

registering, each partner is required to 

submit baseline data on existing waste 

reduction programs to EPA via an 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2011 / Notices 36917 

Annual Assessment Form. (This is an 

on-line form that is completed and 

submitted electronically.) Partners are 

also encouraged to set waste reduction 

goals for the upcoming year. On an 

annual basis, partners are required to 

report, via the Annual Assessment 

Form, on the accomplishments of their 

waste prevention and recycling 

activities. Partners report the amount of 

waste prevented and recycled, amount 

of recycled-content materials purchased, 

and (where appropriate) the amount of 

recovered materials used in the 

manufacture of new products. They also 

provide WasteWise with information on 

total waste prevention revenue, total 

recycling revenue, total avoided 

purchasing costs due to waste 

prevention, and total avoided disposal 

costs due to recycling and waste 

prevention. Additionally, they are 

encouraged to submit new waste 

reduction goals. 

Endorsers, which are typically trade 

associations or state/local governments, 

submit an Endorser Registration Form 

upon registering for the program. (This 

is an on-line form that is completed and 

is submitted electronically.) The 

Endorser Registration Form identifies 

the organization, the principal contact, 

and the activities to which the Endorser 

commits. EPA plans to expand the 

information requested of Endorsers by 

requiring them to submit a summary of 

their endorser activities annually. All 

registration and reporting information 

will be submitted electronically using 

the existing on-line, web-based data 

management and reporting system. 

EPA’s WasteWise program uses the 

submitted information to (1) Identify 

and recognize outstanding waste 

reduction achievements by individual 

organizations, (2) compile results that 

indicate overall accomplishments of 

WasteWise members, (3) identify costeffective waste reduction strategies to 

share with other organizations, (4) 

identify topics on which to develop 

technical assistance materials and other 

information, and (5) further encourage 

the growth of industry-specific 

sustainable practices. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average 1 hour per response for the 

Partner Registration Form, 34.5 hours 

per response for the Partner Annual 

Assessment Form, 3 hours per response 

for the Endorser Registration Form, and 

5 hours per response for the Endorser 

Annual Assessment Form. This results 

in an estimated annual partner 

respondent burden of 51 hours for new 

partners, 48 hours for established 

partners, 7 hours for new endorsers, and 

3 hours for established endorsers. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

or provide information to or for a 

Federal agency. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; develop, 

acquire, install, and utilize technology 

and systems for the purposes of 

collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Businesses, not-for-profit institutions, 

and State, Local, or Tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,222. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

25,844. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$2,138,570, includes $2,138,570 

annualized labor costs and $0 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 44,506 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to an 

update in the number of partners to 

reflect who are the active partners, as 

well as an online reporting system that 

has greatly reduced burden for 

respondents and the agency.
