Title: Regulations.gov Information 

Collection. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2357.04, 

OMB Control No. 2025–0008 . 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2012. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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: In response to the 

Presidential memorandum, the 

eRulemaking Program launched the 

Regulations.gov ‘feedback exchange’ 

Web site in May 2009. This interactive 

Web site showcases new technologies 

being considered for the Regulations.gov 

‘feedback exchange’ and 

Regulations.gov, as well as other 

agency-specific initiatives and 

rulemaking activities. The ‘feedback 

exchange’ serves as a learning laboratory 

for open government, enabling the 

public to provide input on the 

Regulations.gov interface, build a 

community of practice on the Federal 

regulatory development process, and 

ensure that the eRulemaking Program 

can efficiently manage federal resources 

by testing new tools before they are 

launched. 

New technologies considered for 

Regulations.gov and the Regulations.gov 

‘feedback exchange’ include: User 

Profiles; Comment Threads and Wikis; 

Ratings, Polls, and Tagging; an 

interactive Educational Tool; and 

Information Export and Sharing 

capabilities, such as application 

programming interfaces (or APIs). These 

technologies have been deployed 

iteratively, with components deployed 

upon the site’s release in May 2009, and 

others deployed during updates 

throughout the last three years. Other 

components are still being considered 

and will be released during subsequent 

upgrades to the Regulations.gov 

‘feedback exchange’ and 

Regulations.gov. User profiles enable 

the public to register on the site and preload submitter information for later use 

as well as save their own personalized 

searches, RSS feeds, and email alerts 

without the use of persistent cookies. 

Comment Threads allow the public to 

enter into virtual conversations with 

one another about a topic. Wikis enable 

the public to collaboratively develop 

and modify narrative descriptions about 

a topic. Ratings and Polls allow the 

public to indicate a preference for a 

topic or issue via the selection of stars 

or thumbs up/thumbs down icons 

which graphically provide an at-aglance indication of public sentiment 

and can simplify navigation. Tagging 

provides the public with the ability to 

tag or label information they or someone 

else has posted to the site to ease 

navigation and to promote the formation 

of common interest categories. The 

Educational Tool will inform the public 

about the Federal rulemaking process 

through interactive text and images. The 

Data Export capability enables the 

public to download and review the 

contents of a rulemaking docket as well 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with 

74000 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 239 / Wednesday, December 12, 2012 / Notices 

as mix and match such information with 

other information in a new way (also 

known as a ‘‘mash-up’’). The 

Regulations.gov ‘feedback exchange’ 

will rely on voluntary feedback from 

Government, Industry, Academia and 

Citizenry to improve Regulations.gov as 

time goes on. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 451 hours per year. 

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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Anyone who chooses to visit 

Regulations.gov. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

13,000. 

Estimated Number of Potential 

Responses: 91,000. 

Frequency of Response: Occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

451 hours. 

Estimated Capital or Operations & 

Maintenance Annual Costs: $0. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 4 burden hours from 455 to 

451 in the total estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens due 

to a minor mathematical adjustment.
