SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

1. 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. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. 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. 

II. What should I consider when I 

prepare my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

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.

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide.

Title: Pesticide Environmental 

Stewardship Program Annual Measures 

Reporting. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2415.01, 

OMB Control No. 2070–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 Code 

of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This new information 

collection request provides EPA with 

program information on membership 

application and stewardship strategy 

development, as well as annual 

reporting activities which allow the 

Agency to assess performance measures 

information, for use by the Pesticide 

Environmental Stewardship Program 

(PESP). Implemented through the Office 

of Pesticide Programs, PESP is an EPA 

voluntary program that forms 

partnerships with the pesticide user 

community in order to promote the 

reduction of risks from pests and 

pesticides through use of integrated pest 

management (IPM). IPM is an approach 

that involves making best choices from 

among a series of pest management 

practices, and allows for managing pests 

economically, with the least possible 

hazard to people, property, and the 

environment. By fostering IPM, PESP 

provides a non-regulatory approach that 

assists the Agency in meeting the goals 

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the 

Pollution Prevention Act, and Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA) by 

reducing pesticide use and risks in 

agricultural and non-agricultural 

settings. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average in a range from 37 

to 112 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 219. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

19,298 hours. 

Estimated total annual burden costs: 

$1,345,686. No capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs are 

projected for this collection. 

IV. 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. 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 person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
