of prohibited and exempt off-the-record 

communications. 

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, 

September 22, 1999) requires 

Commission decisional employees, who 

make or receive a prohibited or exempt 

off-the-record communication relevant 

to the merits of a contested proceeding, 

to deliver to the Secretary of the 

Commission, a copy of the 

communication, if written, or a 

summary of the substance of any oral 

communication. 

Prohibited communications are 

included in a public, non-decisional file 

associated with, but not a part of, the 

decisional record of the proceeding. 

Unless the Commission determines that 

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to 

respond to any facts or contentions 

made in a prohibited off-the-record 

communication, and may request that 

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto 

in the decisional record. The 

Commission will grant such a request 

only when it determines that fairness so 

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record 

communication shall serve the 

document on all parties listed on the 

official service list for the applicable 

proceeding in accordance with Rule 

2010, 18 CFR 385.2010. 

Exempt off-the-record 

communications are included in the 

decisional record of the proceeding, 

unless the communication was with a 

cooperating agency as described by 40 

CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR 

385.2201(e)(1)(v). 

The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently 

received by the Secretary of the 

Commission. The communications 

listed are grouped by docket numbers in 

ascending order. These filings are 

available for review at the Commission 

in the Public Reference Room or may be 

viewed on the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary 

link. Enter the docket number,

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. 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.

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are businesses, 

not-for-profit, and State, Local, or Tribal 

governments. 

Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Requirements Under EPA’s WasteWise 

Program 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1698.07, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0139. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on April 30, 2007. 

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 

of their choice, and endorsers who 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
9328 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 40 / Thursday, March 1, 2007 / Notices 

promote the WasteWise program and 

waste reduction to their members. 

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 

can be submitted either electronically or 

in hard copy.) Within six months of 

registering, each partner is asked to 

conduct a waste assessment and submit 

baseline data and waste reduction goals 

to EPA via the Annual Assessment 

Form. (This form can also be submitted 

either electronically or in hard copy.) 

On an annual basis partners are asked 

to report, via the Annual Assessment 

Form, on their progress toward 

achieving their waste reduction goals by 

estimating amounts of waste prevented 

and recyclables collected, and 

describing buying or manufacturing 

recycled-content products. Partners can 

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 asked 

to submit new waste reduction goals. 

Endorsers, who are typically trade 

associations or state/local governments, 

submit the Endorser Registration Form 

once during their endorser relationship 

with WasteWise. (This form can be 

submitted either electronically or in 

hard copy.) The Endorser Registration 

Form identifies the organization, the 

principal contact, and the activities to 

which the Endorser commits. 

EPA’s WasteWise program uses the 

submitted information to (1) identify 

and recognize outstanding waste 

reduction achievements by individual 

organizations, (2) compile aggregate 

results that indicate overall 

accomplishments of WasteWise 

partners, (3) identify cost-effective waste 

reduction strategies to share with other 

organizations, and (4) identify topics on 

which to develop assistance and 

information efforts. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average 1 hour per response for the 

Partner Registration Form, 40 hours per 

response for the Annual Assessment 

Form, and 10 hours per response for the 

Endorser Registration Form. This results 

in an estimated annual partner 

respondent burden of 41 hours for new 

partners, 40 hours for established 

partners, and a one-time respondent 

burden of 10 hours for endorsers. 

The estimated number of respondents 

is 1,675 in Year 1; 1,775 in Year 2; and 

1,875 in Year 3. Estimated total annual 

burden on all respondents is 66,350 

hours in Year 1; 70,350 hours in Year 2; 

and 74,350 hours in Year 3. 

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: 1,525. 

Frequency of response: Annually. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

56,700. 

Estimated total annual costs: $0. This 

includes an estimated burden cost of $0 

and an estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

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
