AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this document 

announces that EPA is planning to 

submit a request to renew an existing 

approved Information Collection 

Request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). This 

ICR is scheduled to expire on August 

30, 2009. Before submitting the ICR to 

OMB for review and approval, EPA is 

soliciting comments on specific aspects 

of the proposed information collection 

as described below. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before May 18, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OA–2006–0074 by one of the following 

methods: 

• www.regulations.gov: Follow the 

online instructions for submitting 

comments. 

• E-mail: docket.oei@epa.gov. 

• Fax: 202–566–1753. 

• Mail: OEI Docket, Environmental 

Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2822T, 

1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC 20460. 

• Hand Delivery: OEI Docket in the 

EPA Docket Center [EPA/DC], EPA 

West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. The 

EPA Reading Room is open from 8 a.m. 

to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

excluding legal holidays. Such 

deliveries are only accepted during the 

Docket’s normal hours of operation, and 

special arrangements should be made 

for deliveries of boxed information. 

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OA–2006– 

0074. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or e-mail. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an e-mail 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. For additional information 

about EPA’s public docket visit the EPA 

Docket Center homepage at http:// 

www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.

comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the docket, and to access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

What Information Is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

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

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

(i) 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; 

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) 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. 

What Should I Consider When I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES.

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Voluntary Customer Satisfaction 

Surveys 

Docket ID No.: EPA–HQ–OA–2006– 

0074. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are primarily 

individuals and households. 

Title: Voluntary Customer Satisfaction 

Surveys. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1711.06. 

OMB Control No. 2090–0019. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 30, 2009. 

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, and 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: EPA uses voluntary surveys 

to learn how satisfied EPA customers 

are with our services, and how we can 

improve services, products and 

processes. EPA surveys individuals who 

use services or could have. During the 

next three years, EPA plans up to 56 

surveys, and will use results to target/ 

measure service delivery improvements. 

By seeking renewal of the generic 

clearance for customer surveys, EPA 

will have the flexibility to gather the 

views of our customers to better 

determine the extent to which our 

services, products and processes satisfy 

their needs or need to be improved. The 

generic clearance will speed the review 

and approval of customer surveys that 

solicit opinions from EPA customers on 

a voluntary basis, and do not involve 

‘‘fact-finding’’ for the purposes of 

regulatory development or enforcement. 

An Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it has a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average not more than eight 

minutes. Response development time 

will range from several minutes to two 

hours per response, depending whether 

the instrument is a short series of 

feedback questions or a more complex 

discussion session for a focus group. 

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. 

The ICR now available uses estimates 

that may change as the Agency updates 

information about survey planning for 

the next three years. Further 

information will be provided when the 

Second Federal Register Notice is 

published. The Agency’s estimates are 

summarized briefly here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 15,000–16,000. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

1,500–1,700. 

Estimated total annual costs: $8,000. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $8,000 and an estimated cost of $0 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

EPA expects that the number of 

respondent burden hours will decrease 

by 10–15%, from 2,000 hours in the 

current ICR to 1,700 hours or less over 

the next three years. This decrease is 

because the Agency continues its move 

from all other types of surveys to online 

surveys and the total number of surveys 

submitted for processing continues to 

decrease. 

What Is the Next Step in the Process for 

This ICR? 

EPA will consider the 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. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

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 contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
