software server and operating system 

that resides in Federal Risk and 

Authorization Management Program 

(FedRAMP) and Federal Information 

Security Modernization Act (FISMA) 

hosting environment. Data located in 

the cloud-based server is firewalled and 

encrypted at rest and in transit. The 

security mechanisms for handling data 

at rest and in transit are in accordance 

with DOE encryption standards. 

Records are protected from 

unauthorized access through the 

following appropriate safeguards: 

• Administrative: Access to all 

records is limited to lawful government 

purposes only, with access to electronic 

records based on role and either twofactor authentication or password 

protection. The system requires 

passwords to be complex and to be 

changed frequently. Users accessing 

system records undergo frequent 

training in Privacy Act and information 

security requirements. Security and 

privacy controls are reviewed on an 

ongoing basis. 

• Technical: Computerized records 

systems are safeguarded on 

Departmental networks configured for 

role-based access based on job 

responsibilities and organizational 

affiliation. Privacy and security controls 

are in place for this system and are 

updated in accordance with applicable 

requirements as determined by NIST 

and DOE directives and guidance. 

• Physical: Computer servers on 

which electronic records are stored are 

located in secured Department facilities, 

which are protected by security guards, 

identification badges, and cameras. 

Paper copies of all records are locked in 

file cabinets, file rooms, or offices and 

are under the control of authorized 

personnel. Access to these facilities is 

granted only to authorized personnel 

and each person granted access to the 

system must be an individual 

authorized to use or administer the 

system. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Department follows the 

procedures outlined in 10 CFR 1008.4. 

Valid identification of the individual 

making the request is required before 

information will be processed, given, 

access granted, or a correction 

considered, to ensure that information is 

processed, given, corrected, or records 

disclosed or corrected only at the 

request of the proper person. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Any individual may submit a request 

to the System Manager and request a 

copy of any records relating to them. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 1008.11, any 

individual may appeal the denial of a 

request made by him or her for 

information about or for access to or 

correction or amendment of records. An 

appeal shall be filed within 90 calendar 

days after receipt of the denial. When an 

appeal is filed by mail, the postmark is 

conclusive as to timeliness. The appeal 

shall be in writing and must be signed 

by the individual. The words 

‘‘PRIVACY ACT APPEAL’’ should 

appear in capital letters on the envelope 

and the letter. Appeals of denials 

relating to records maintained in 

government-wide system of records 

reported by Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM), shall be filed, as 

appropriate, with the Assistant Director 

for Agency Compliance and Evaluation, 

OPM, 1900 E Street NW, Washington, 

DC 20415. All other appeals relating to 

DOE records shall be directed to the 

Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals 

(OHA), 1000 Independence Avenue SW, 

Washington, DC 20585. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

In accordance with the DOE 

regulation implementing the Privacy 

Act, 10 CFR part 1008, a request by an 

individual to determine if a system of 

records contains information about 

themselves should be directed to the 

U.S. Department of Energy, 

Headquarters, Privacy Act Officer. The 

request should include the requester’s 

complete name and the time period for 

which records are sought.

and solicits public comment on the

Request (ICR) that EPA is planning to

Budget (OMB): ‘‘Pesticide 

Environmental Stewardship Program 

Annual Measures Reporting,’’ identified 

by EPA ICR No. 2415.05 and OMB 

Control No. 2070–0188. This ICR 

represents a renewal of an existing ICR 

that is currently approved through July 

31, 2025. Before submitting the ICR to 

OMB for review and approval under the 

PRA, EPA is soliciting comments on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), 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 information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Title: Pesticide Environmental 

Stewardship Program Annual Measures 

Reporting. 

EPA ICR No.: 2415.05. 

OMB Control No. 2070–0188. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

approved through July 31, 2025. Under 

the PRA, 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 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 information collection 

request (ICR) collects information to 

establish partner membership, develop 

stewardship strategies, measure progress 

towards stewardship goals, and award 

incentives. PESP is an EPA partnership 

program that encourages the use of 

integrated pest management (IPM) 

strategies to reduce pests and pesticide 

risks. IPM is an approach that involves 

making the best choices from among a 

series of pest management practices that 

are both economical and pose the least 

possible hazard to people, property, and 

the environment. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 51,562 hours. 

Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected are Pesticide user 

companies and organizations, or entities 

that practice IPM or promote the use of 

IPM through education and training. A 

list of potentially affected entities with 

North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes 

provided to assist in determining 

potential applicability in question 12. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Forms: 9600–1, 9600–02 and 9600–03. 

Frequency of response: Annual and 

on occasion. 

Total estimated number of potential 

respondents: 456. 

Total estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Total estimated annual burden hours: 

51,297 hours. 

Total estimated annual respondent 

costs: $ 3,884,334, which includes $ 0 

for capital investment or maintenance 

and operational costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

EPA expects an increase in the 

number of potential respondents from 

437 to 456, with a corresponding burden 

increase. This change is based on an 

anticipated increase in entities 

participating in the PESP Program. 

There is also an increase in industry 

cost by $382,790, which reflects the
