Act, and 41 CFR 102–3.140 through

Abstract: The purpose of this 

information collection request is to 

assist the EPA in selecting federal 

advisory committee members who will 

be appointed as Special Government 

Employees (SGEs), mostly to the EPA’s 

scientific and technical committees. To 

select SGE members as efficiently and 

cost effectively as possible, the Agency 

needs to evaluate potential conflicts of 

interest before a candidate is hired as an 

SGE and appointed as a member to a 

committee. Agency officials developed 

the ‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Special Government 

Employees Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency,’’ also referred to as 

Form 3110–48, for greater inclusion of 

information to discover any potential 

conflicts of interest as recommended by 

the Government Accountability Office. 

Form numbers: EPA Form 3110–48. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Candidates for appointment to serve as 

SGEs on EPA federal advisory 

committees. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory in order to serve as a SGE on 

an EPA federal advisory committee (5 

CFR 2634.903). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

500 (total). 

Frequency of response: Once, 

Annually, On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 500 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $56,000 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 250 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This change is due to an increase 

in the estimated number of respondents.
