SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Affected

entities: Entities potentially affected by

this action are Service Providers and

printers in the New York City area. The

Service Providers are comprised of trade

associations and foundations,

community groups, and State and Local

government agencies that provide

outreach, and education to printers in

New York City. These various types of

service groups provide different types of

services, all of which may be needed by

a printer. These services include

training in technical, financial,

pollution prevention and compliance

areas, and community relations. They in

turn will be asking the printers who

request their services a set of questions.

This is a voluntary program.

Title: New York City Education Pilot

Project, EPA ICR No. 1817.01.

Abstract: The Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), in conjunction

with the other stakeholders of the

Common Sense Initiative Printing

Sector, is developing a pilot project to

identify the most effective methods for

encouraging printers to adopt pollution

prevention methodology. The Common

Sense Initiative is a Federal Advisory

Committee made up of industry,

environmental justice groups,

environmental groups, labor, and

Federal, State and local government

representatives. The New York City

Education Project is aimed at

incorporating pollution prevention into

everyday work practices of small

printers. The goal of the project is to see

how best to inform local printers about

pollution prevention measures and

build community understanding of

pollution prevention techniques in local

printing businesses. The project will

identify the most effective methods of

education and outreach. The project

builds upon existing relationships with

trade groups, community groups, and

state and local governments to provide

information about pollution prevention,

environmental compliance, and cost

reduction to small printers and about

environmental benefits to the

community. Education and outreach are

critical elements of the workgroup’s

efforts.

To achieve this goal, EPA and other

CSI members will analyze: (1) what

kinds (type, size) of printers ask for

assistance, how printers seek out

assistance, and from whom; (2) the

types of assistance they request

(seminars, handbooks, on-site

assistance, etc.) and the subject areas

they are interested in (pollution

prevention, compliance, etc.); (3) how

effective the technical assistance

directory was in directing them to the

assistance provider they needed; (4)

which mix of providers, services, and

referrals led to the adoption of pollution

prevention opportunities; and (5)

anecdotal information and results
45248 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 165 / Tuesday, August 26, 1997 / Notices

achieved by the technical service

providers and the community groups.

Several of the above areas will require

follow up information collection by

service providers. This will also be

voluntary on the part of the printers and

service providers.

To identify the most effective

methods of outreach and education and

assistance, EPA and CSI members will

develop a survey tool for participating

technical service providers, compliance

assistance providers, and community

groups. The survey will seek responses

regarding how printers get their

information, what they ask for, what

information they need that is missing,

and what mix of services promotes

pollution prevention changes the most.

Many of these questions are routinely

asked by service providers for their own

internal assessments. The CSI Printing

Sector FACA hopes to make

recommendations to EPA concerning

the most effective outreach and

education methods for promoting

pollution prevention opportunities. This

information will also be important for

the service providers in planning their

future resources for education and

outreach.

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 EPA is soliciting comments 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 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.

Burden Statement: There are two

different types of entities that will be

burdened by this request. First are the

service providers. There are 10 non-EPA

technical service providers in NYC.

There are also approximately 4

community service providers who will

also be doing outreach and referrals for

printers to technical service providers.

Then there are the third party reporting

entities, the printers, who will be

requesting assistance. There will be

three potential information collection

points: (1) as part of the assistance

provided to printers; (2) follow up calls

concerning the assistance that was

provided; and (3) more in-depth follow

up for printers who have made

operations changes due to the

assistance.

It is estimated that 105 printers will

expend 30 minutes each responding to

survey questions and an additional 16

printers will spend 2 hours each

responding to in depth interviews for a

total of 84.5 printer facility hours. The

services providers will spend 209 hours

to provide this information. 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; 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.
