ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2016. Under OMB regulations, the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq., 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 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: EPA developed the Partner 

of the Year Awards to recognize Safer 

Choice stakeholders who have furthered 

the goals of Safer Choice through active 

and exemplary participation in and 

promotion of the Safer Choice program. 

Making the mission of the Safer Choice 

program known to the widest possible 

audience, through its safer product label 

and in other forms of communication, is 

critical to fully realizing the program’s 

goals of protecting human health and 

the environment, promoting a 

sustainable economy, and creating green 

jobs, especially in the small business 

sector. 

The Partner of the Year Awards will 

be an annual event, with recognition for 

Safer Choice stakeholder organizations 

from five broad categories: (1) 

Formulators/product manufacturers (of 

both consumer and institutional/

industrial (I/I) products), (2) purchasers 

and distributors, (3) retailers, (4) 

supporters (e.g., non-governmental 

organizations, including environmental 

and health advocates, trade associations, 

academia, sports teams, and others), and 

(5) innovators (e.g., chemical 

manufacturers, technology developers, 

and others). Within these categories and 

based on the criteria, EPA may elect to 

give additional awards in the 

subcategories of ‘‘small business’’ and 

‘‘sustained excellence.’’ This 

information collection activity 

addresses the reporting burden 

associated with completing the

application to EPA for recognition in the 

Partner of the Year Awards program. 

Responses to this information 

collection are voluntary. Respondents 

may claim all or part of a response 

confidential. EPA will disclose 

information that is covered by a claim 

of confidentiality only to the extent 

permitted by, and in accordance with, 

the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 

40 CFR part 2. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are establishments engaged in the 

production, use, and/or advancement of 

safer chemicals, that have furthered the 

goals of EPA’s Safer Chemical program 

through active and exemplary 

participation in and promotion of the 

program, and that wish to receive 

recognition for their achievements. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 50. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total burden: 750 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Estimated total costs: $45,486 (per 

year), includes no annualized capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease of 900 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. 

This decrease reflects the experience 

of EPA’s Safer Choice program since 

OMB first approved this information 

collection. The Safer Choice program 

conducted its first Partner of the Year 

Awards in 2015, at which time EPA had 

received applications from 35 

respondents. Based upon revised 

estimates, EPA has reduced the 

estimated number of respondents from 

110 to 50, with a corresponding 

decrease in the associated burden. This 

change is an adjustment.
