submit a request for a new Information 

Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). Before 

submitting the ICR to OMB for review 

and approval, EPA is soliciting 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 7, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2010–0410 by one of the following 

methods: 

• E-mail: a-and-r-Docket@epa.gov.

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or e-mail. The http:// 

www.regulations.gov Web site is an

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment, and with 

any disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. For additional information

What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ fewer than 25 people) on 

examples of specific additional efforts 

that EPA could make to reduce the 

paperwork burden for very small 

businesses affected by this collection. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for EPA?

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 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response.

ICR does this apply to? 

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. 

Title: Nomination Application for the 

U.S. EPA Montreal Protocol Awards 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2389.01, 

OMB Control No. 2060–NEW. 

ICR Status: This ICR is for a new 

information collection activity. 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 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 is 

voluntary, and EPA expects that 

respondents will participate only if the 

benefits of participation outweigh the 

information collection burden. This 

information collection request 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. 

The Stratospheric Protection Division 

of EPA uses the collected information to 

evaluate award nominations, in 

conjunction with past awardees, and to 

choose USMPA program award 

recipients. The submitted information is 

edited by EPA and then included in the 

award ceremony program and posted to 

EPA’s USMPA Web site. EPA hosts an 

annual awards ceremony where the 

award recipients are honored. 

No information collected by EPA for 

the USMPA program comprises 

confidential business information. Nor 

is any information collected considered 

to be of a sensitive nature. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2.5 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 


cprice-sewell on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 7, 2010 / Notices 39013 

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: 

Respondents/affected entities: US 

EPA Montreal Protocol Award nominees 

can be individuals, organizations, 

government, public- or private-sector, 

and domestic or international, as can 

the entities that nominate the nominees. 

The following is a list of industries that 

may be affected by information 

collection requirements covered under 

this ICR (followed by their NAICS 

codes), based on a review of the pool of 

past award nominees: Public 

administration (92); chemical 

manufacturing (325); professional, 

scientific and technical services (541); 

voluntary health organizations (813212); 

environment, conservation and wildlife 

organizations (813312); business 

associations (813910); professional 

organizations (813920). This list is 

intended to be illustrative; entities from 

other industries may elect to apply to 

the U.S. EPA Montreal Protocol Awards 

program, or nominate potential 

awardees. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents, annually: 25. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

62.5. This burden estimate includes 

time required to read the nomination 

instructions; provide contact 

information for the nominee/nominator; 

contact references to obtain their 

consent to include their names and 

contact information on the nomination 

form; write a summary of 

accomplishments in no more than 600 

words; create supporting materials (this 

is optional); write a cover letter; submit 

the nomination via mail, electronic mail 

or fax; and, review subsequent 

nominations for merit. 

Estimated total annual costs: $2,080. 

This cost estimate is associated with all 

the activities listed under estimated 

total annual burden hours, above. 

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
