What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are 

approximately 300 candidates for 

membership as Special Government 

Employees (SGEs) on EPA Federal 

advisory committees. The Form 3110– 

48 (7–08) is completed as part of the 

member selection process and before 

they are invited to serve as a member of 

a Federal Advisory Committee (FAC) at 

EPA. 

Title: Confidential Financial 

Disclosure Form for Special 

Government Employees Serving on 

Federal Advisory Committees at the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2260.04, 

OMB Control No. 2090–0029. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on 05/31/2011. 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: The purpose of this 

information collection request is to 

assist the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) 

in selecting Federal advisory committee 

members who will be appointed as 

Special Government Employees (SGEs), 

mostly to 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 

by EPA’s Administrator or Deputy 

Administrator. 

Agency officials developed the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure Form 

for Special Government Employees 

Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency,’’ also referred to as 

Form 3110–48 (7–08), for greater 

inclusion of information to discover any 

potential conflicts of interest as 

recommended by the Government 

Accountability Office. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average one hour per 

response. 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

• Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 300. 

• Frequency of response: Annual. 

• Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

• Estimated total annual burden 

hours: 300 hours/1 hour per respondent. 

• Estimated total annual costs: 

$40,800. There is no capital investment 

or maintenance and operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

The burden estimates have been 

changed to reflect an increase of 

respondent costs to complete the form 

to cover the next three years. There is 

no increase of hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. 

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. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

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 

technical person listed under FOR

Abstract: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) Stratospheric 

Protection Division established the U.S. 

EPA Montreal Protocol Award (USMPA) 

program in 1990 to recognize 

outstanding contributions to the 

protection of the Earth’s stratospheric 

ozone layer. It is named after the 

international treaty that aims to reverse 

erosion of the ozone layer by replacing 

and/or phasing out the production of 

ozone-depleting substances (ODS). 

Since 1990, EPA has presented more 

than 500 awards to outstanding 

individuals, teams, companies, 

organizations, and government 

institutions in 54 countries. Awards are 

particularly prestigious because 

nominees compete globally against the 

accomplishments of many other 

potential awardees, and recipients are 

selected by previous awardees and EPA. 

Participation in the program requires 

applicants (called nominees or 

nominators) to complete a nomination 

form that details the project or activity 

they believe is worthy of the USMPA 

award. EPA seeks nominations for the 

following accomplishments: Originality 

and public purpose; leadership and 

corporate responsibility; global 

perspective and implication; actual 

elimination of ozone-depleting 

substance emissions; success in 

eliminating substances that deplete the 

ozone layer and contribute to climate 

change or in transitioning to alternatives 

with reduced environmental impact; or 

leadership in improving awareness of 

the harmful health effects of 

overexposure to ultraviolet radiation. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average less than three 

hours per response. 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: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action include those working in public 

administration; chemical 

manufacturing; professional, scientific 

and technical services; voluntary health 

organizations; environment, 

conservation and wildlife organizations; 

business associations; and professional 

organizations 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

25. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, 

occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

63. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,080, 

which includes no annualized capital or 

O&M costs.
