II. What is the Safer Choice program? 

As part of its environmental mission, 

the Safer Choice program partners with 

businesses to help consumers and 

commercial buyers identify products 

with safer chemical ingredients, without 

sacrificing quality or performance. 

Toward this end, the Safer Choice 

program certifies products containing 

ingredients that have met the program’s 

specific and rigorous human health and 

environmental toxicological criteria. 

The Safer Choice program allows 

companies to use its label on certified 

products that contain safer ingredients 

and perform, as determined by expert 

evaluation. The Safer Choice program 

certification represents a high level of 

achievement in formulating products 

that are safer for people and the 

environment. The purpose of the 

Partner of the Year Awards is to 

recognize the leadership contributions 

of Safer Choice partners and 

stakeholders who, over the past year, 

have shown achievement in the design, 

manufacture, selection and use of 

products with safer chemicals, that 

further outstanding or innovative source 

reduction. EPA especially encourages 

submission of award applications that 

show how the applicant’s work in the 

design, manufacture, selection and use 

of those products promotes 

environmental justice, bolsters 

resilience to the impacts of climate 

change, results in cleaner air or water, 

or improves drinking water quality. 

III. How can I participate? 

To be considered for a Partner of the 

Year Award, candidates should notify 

the Safer Choice program of their 

interest. They should submit supporting 

information on their accomplishments 

and contributions focusing on calendar 

year 2021. There is no form associated 

with this year’s application. Candidates 

interested in learning more about the 

Partner of the Year Awards should refer 

to the Safer Choice website: https://

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: Reporting in the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) Grant Database. 

ICR numbers.: EPA ICR No. 2511.03; 

OMB Control No.: 2070–0198. 

ICR status: The existing ICR is 

currently scheduled to expire on 

December 31, 2022. Under the 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 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2022 / Notices 17289 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers for 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This ICR describes the 

burden activities for the electronic 

collection of information for the preaward burden activity for creating a 

work plan and the post-award and afterthe-grant award activities related to 

reporting accomplishments to 

implement EPA’s FIFRA State and 

Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) program 

(7 U.S.C. 136u). 

In 2019, a workgroup comprised of 

EPA, state and tribal representatives 

converted the FIFRA Work Plan and 

Report Template (FIFRA Template), 

which was in Excel, into a pilot program 

of a web-based system housed in the 

Central Data Exchange (CDX) platform, 

called the FIFRA Grant Database (FGD). 

When the permanent use of the pilot 

program is approved by OMB, then the 

use of the FGD will become mandatory, 

replacing the excel web-based system 

entirely. 

This ICR also augments the ICR 

entitled ‘‘EPA’s General Regulation for 

Assistance Programs ICR’’ (OMB Control 

No. 2030–0020; EPA ICR No. 0938.18) 

which accounts for the current PRA 

burden for the minimum management 

requirements for all recipients of EPA 

grants or cooperative agreements 

(assistance agreements). This ICR 

provides the burden assessment for the 

FIFRA program specific activities 

associated with using a standardized 

online template for only the STAG 

program reporting. 

The ICR supporting statement, 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 in this 

document. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 87.55 hours per 

response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR are state, 

local governments, Indian tribes, and 

U.S. territories that are grantees of 

Federal funds participating in the 

FIFRA STAG program. The 

corresponding North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) codes for 

respondents include: 9241 

(Administration of Environmental 

Quality programs); and 92115 

(American Indians and Alaska Native 

Tribal Governments). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory, as per FIFRA sections 

23(a)(1) and 23(a)(2)). 

Frequency of response: Biannually. 

Total estimated number of potential 

respondents: 81. 

Total estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 2. 

Total estimated annual burden hours: 

26,195 hours. 

Total estimated annual costs: $ 

2,102,179, which includes an estimated 

cost of $ 0 for non-burden hour 

paperwork costs, e.g., capital investment 

or maintenance and operational costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

Due to an error, the annual burden 

hours for ‘‘per-event’’ were incorrectly 

estimated at 46.15 hours to conduct 

STAG grant activities. The correct 

number is 323.4 hours ‘‘per event’’ for 

conducting STAG activities. For this 

renewal ICR, there is no increase over 

the currently approved ICR in terms of 

the per event annual paperwork burden 

hours for grantees to use the FIFRA 

grant Database. The FIFRA STAG Grant 

online template annual overall burden 

since the renewal ICR remains the same; 

all 81 recipients may use the reporting 

tool and instructions. The overall 

burden hours are therefore also the same 

at 26,195 hours. The burden cost in this 

ICR has increased relative to the 

previous ICR due to updating the wages. 

These changes are characterized as 

adjustments. 

In addition, OMB has requested that 

EPA move towards using the 18- 

question format for ICR Supporting 

Statements used by other federal 

agencies and departments and that is 

based on the submission instructions 

established by OMB in 1995, replacing 

the alternate format developed by EPA 

and OMB prior to 1995. The Agency 

does not expect this change in format to 

result in substantive changes to the 

information collection activities or 

related estimated burden and costs. 

IV. What is the next step in the process 

for this ICR? 

EPA will consider comments received 

and amend the ICR as appropriate. The 

final ICR package will then be submitted 

to OMB for review and approval 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will 

issue another Federal Register 

document pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. 

If you have any questions about this 

ICR or the approval process, please
