Since others also may be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. If you have any questions 

regarding the applicability of this action 

to a particular entity, consult the 

Chemical Review Manager identified in 

Table 1 of Unit I. In submitting a 

comment to EPA, please consider the 

following: 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to the EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to the EPA, mark the outside 

of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2.

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

All comments should be submitted 

using the methods in ADDRESSES and 

must be received by the EPA on or 

before the closing date. These comments 

will become part of the docket for the 

pesticides included in Table 1 of Unit 

I. The Agency will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may respond to comments in a 

‘‘Response to Comments Memorandum’’ 

in the docket or the Final Work Plan 

(FWP), as appropriate.

Abstract: This ICR renewal covers the 

information collection activities 

associated with the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for 

individuals, businesses, organizations, 

and government entities participating in 

or collaborating with EPA’s Safer Choice 

and Design for the Environment (DfE) 

programs (referred to collectively as 

‘‘the Safer Choice program’’ in this 

document unless otherwise indicated). 

This ICR also includes additional 

sections for the Safer Choice cleaning 

service certification and third-party 

profiler (TPP) solicitations. These 

components are designed to: 

• Improve data efficiency by 

electronic data collection via a cloudbased Salesforce system called the Safer 

Choice Community; 

•Monitor the public’s awareness of 

the Safer Choice program and the Safer 

Choice label and DfE logo; 

• Clarify the Safer Choice Partner of 

the Year Awards application process 

and form;

85534 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 208 / Monday, October 28, 2024 / Notices 

• Describe information collected 

through the new Safer Choice cleaning 

service certification program; and, 

• Clarify the TPP application process 

and form. 

Form numbers: 9600–017, 9600–018, 

9600–019, 9600–020, 9600–021, 9600– 

022, 9600–023, 9600–058, 9600–059, 

9600–060, 9600–061. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR include 

a wide range of sectors that 

participation in the Safer Choice 

Program including chemical 

manufacturers, paint and coating 

manufacturing, merchant wholesalers, 

janitorial services, and environmental 

consulting firms. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

4,539 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 4,511 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $854,358 (per 

year), which includes $553,850 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase of 1,279 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase, which is discussed 

in more detail in the ICR, is due to an 

increase in annual consumer online 

surveys, which increased from 2,000 to 

4,000 annually, the inclusion of a new 

program, the ‘‘Safer Choice Cleaning 

Service Certification,’’ and the inclusion 

of the TPP solicitation process. These 

changes qualify as a program change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

request for approval of a new collection. 

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. 

This notice allows for a 14 day public 

comment period. Supporting 

documents, which explain in detail the 

information that the EPA will be 

collecting, are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center,

Abstract: To meet the goals and 

objectives that demonstrate the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA’s) and the Administration’s 

commitment to achieving 

environmental justice and embedding 

environmental justice into Agency 

programs, the Environmental Justice 

Thriving Communities Grantmaking 

Program provides about $600 million in 

11 cooperative agreements funding to 

‘‘Grantmakers’’ who will function as 

pass-through entities for the 

Environmental Justice Thriving 

Communities Subgrants (2 CFR parts 

200 and 1500). Each Grantmaker will 

collaborate with EPA to design and 

build their own processes to receive and 

evaluate applications to fund the initial 

development of community-led 

environmental justice projects. With 

this Information Collection Request 

(ICR), EPA seeks emergency clearance 

by October 31, 2024 for six Grantmakers 

to solicit applications for their first 

round of subgrants to be launched in 

November 2024. 

This is the third of three related 

Grantmaker ICRs submitted on an 

emergency basis (see also 2090–0035 

and 2090–0036). EPA cannot reasonably 

comply with the normal clearance 

procedures because subaward programs 

must be launched within 3 months, 

which does not allow sufficient time to 

obtain PRA clearance using the standard 

ICR process. Collection of the 

information requested under this 

emergency clearance (i.e., applications) 

is essential for the Grantmakers to have 

a mechanism for selecting and 

distributing subaward grants to fund 

environmental justice projects in 

underserved communities, thus 

fulfilling the central objective of the 

program. 

This emergency clearance will cover 

the first round of subaward applications 

solicited by six Grantmakers in 

November 2024. Subsequent rounds of 

applications will be authorized via a 

Standard ICR package for the 

Grantmaking Program that will be 

submitted for review via the standard 

ICR approval process. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents will include entities who 

are eligible to receive subawards, 

including community based nonprofit 

organizations, Puerto Rico, U.S. 

Territories and Freely Associated States, 

Native American organizations, local 

governments, and institutions of higher 

education. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

7,496 (total). 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Total estimated burden: 13,622 hours 

(total). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $897,264.38 

(total), which includes $178,057.92 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs.
