*Abstract:*                     The purpose of this information collection request is to collect information from applicants to select recipients for the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators (PIAEE) program and the President's Environmental Youth Awards (PEYA) program. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency), in conjunction with the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), established the PIAEE program to meet the requirements of Section 8(e) of the National Environmental Education Act (20 U.S.C. 5507(e)). The Agency established the PEYA program to meet the requirements of Section 8(d) of the National Environmental Education Act (20 U.S.C. 5507(d)).                

*Form Numbers:*                     5900-578, 6500-04.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     K-12 teachers who teach on a full-time basis in a public school that is operated by a local education agency, including schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. For this program, a local education agency is one as defined by section 198 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (now codified at 20 U.S.C. 7801(26)).                

*Respondent's obligation to respond:*                     Required to obtain information from the applicants for PIAEE and PEYA program and assess certain aspects of programs as established under Section 8(e) of the National Environmental Education Act (20 U.S.C. 5507(e)) and Section 8(d) of the National Environmental Education Act (20 U.S.C. 5507(d)) respectively.                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     75 (total per year) for the PIAEE program and 250 (total per year) for the PEYA program.                

*Frequency of response:*                     Annually.                

*Total estimated burden:*                     3,225 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $116,888 per year, includes $0 capital or operation & maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is an increase of 2,475 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to the addition of the PEYA application. The individual cost per respondent for internal processing has also risen, due to increases in labor rate estimates.
