in Large Buildings Survey. The ICR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:

Indoor Air Quality Practices in Large

Buildings Survey, EPA ICR No.

1917.01). This is a new collection.

Abstract: As part of its authorization

under Title IV of the SARA, 1986, EPA

has been working to promote more

effective approaches for identifying and

solving indoor air quality (IAQ)

problems and has developed guidance

for that purpose.

The Indoor Air Quality Practices in

Large Buildings Survey will allow EPA

to determine the extent to which

elements of its guidance have been

incorporated into U.S. building

management. These data are essential

for measuring the effectiveness of EPA’s

efforts to encourage good IAQmanagement practices in large buildings

against the Agency’s established

Government Performance Review Act

(GPRA) goal. By the year 2005, EPA

wishes to demonstrate a five percent

increase in the number of large

buildings (defined as over 50,000 square

feet) that use IAQ-management

practices.

To determine its success in achieving

this goal, EPA intends to survey owners

and managers of commercial and

Federally-owned large buildings on a

variety of IAQ practices. The Agency

will mail a survey and instructions for

completing it to approximately 4,150

building owners and managers. The

initial survey will establish a baseline

for the use rate of IAQ-related practices

recommended in EPA’s guidance. EPA

intends to conduct another survey in

2005 to assess changes in the use of

these practices.

The Indoor Air Quality Practices in

Large Buildings Survey is voluntary.

EPA does not expect to receive

confidential information from the largebuilding owners or managers

participating in the Survey. However, if

a respondent does consider the

information submitted to be of a

proprietary nature, EPA will assure its

confidentiality based on the provisions

of 40 CFR part 2, subpart B,

‘‘Confidentiality of Business

Information.’’

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on

37972 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 118 / Monday, June 19, 2000 / Notices

February 4, 2000; one comment was
