aspects of the proposed information 

collection as described below. This is a 

request for approval of a new collection. 

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor 

and a person is not required to respond

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before November 30, 2015.

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES6

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 190 / Thursday, October 1, 2015 / Notices 59149 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

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; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) 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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: EPA relies on scientific 

information. Citizen science and 

crowdsourcing techniques will allow 

the Agency to collect qualitative and 

quantitative data that might help inform 

scientific research, assessments, or 

environmental screening; validate 

environmental models or tools; or 

enhance the quantity and quality of data 

collected across the country’s diverse 

communities and ecosystems to support 

the Agency’s mission. Information 

gathered under this generic clearance 

will be used by the Agency to support 

the activities listed above and might 

provide unprecedented avenues for 

conducting breakthrough research. 

Collections under this generic ICR will 

be from participants who actively seek 

to participate on their own initiative 

through an open and transparent 

process (the Agency does not select 

participants or require participation); 

the collections will be low-burden for 

participants; collections will be low-cost 

for both the participants and the Federal 

Government; and data will be available 

to support the scientific research 

(including assessments, environmental 

screening, tools, models, etc.) of the 

Agency, states, tribal or local entities 

where data collection occurs. EPA may, 

by virtue of collaborating with nonfederal entities, sponsor the collection 

of this type of information in connection 

with citizen science projects. When 

applicable, all such collections will 

accord with Agency policies and 

regulations related to human subjects 

research and will follow the established 

approval paths through EPA’s Human 

Subjects Research Review Official. 

Finally, personally identifiable 

information (PII) will only be collected 

when necessary and in accordance with 

applicable federal procedures and 

policies. If a new collection is not 

within the parameters of this generic 

ICR, the Agency will submit a separate 

information collection request to OMB 

for approval. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Participants/respondents will be 

individuals, not specific entities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

17,500 (total). 

Frequency of response: The frequency 

of responses will range from once to on 

occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 295,250 to 

313,250 hours (per year). Burden is 

defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $9,910,997 to 

$10,483,217 (per year), includes 

$525,000 annualized capital for 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: This is a new 

information collection. The Agency will 

make adjustments to the burden 

numbers as needed.
