Title : The S unWise Program ICR numbers: EPA I CR No. 1904 .06 , O MB Control No. 2060
- 0439
. ICR Status : This I CR is scheduled to expire on 02/28 /2011. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submiss ion is pending at OMB
. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it display s 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, 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 : The goal of the SunWise School Program is t o teach children and their care givers how to protect themselves from overexposure to the sun. The SunWise Program recognizes the challenge of measuring the progress and evaluating the effectiveness of an environmental and public health education program where the ultimate goal is to reduce risk and improve public health. Therefore, the continual and careful evaluati on of program effectiveness through a variety of means , including data from pre
- and post
- intervention survey s, tracking and monitoring of classroom activities and school policies, and consultation with experts , is necessary to monitor progress and refine the program. Survey s to be developed and administered include: (1) Teacher questionnaire for measuring their and their students’ receptivity to the educational component of the Program; (2) Teacher individual interview component soliciting more information about the program and the development of a recognition and incentives program ; (3) Don’t Fry Day pledge asking educators to pledge to incorporate sun safety into their spring and summer activities ; (4) O nline interactive SunWise Sun Safety Certification Program enabling students, adults,May 18, 2009 5

organizations, and employers to develop credentials on sun safety awareness and behaviors ; and ( 5 ) Partner pilot questionnaire for measuring their and their audience’s receptivity to the educational component of the Program . The data will be anal yz ed and results will indicate the Program’s effect on participants’ sun
- protection attitudes and behaviors, and will help guide the program’s further improvement. Additionally , information is collected when educators sign up to
re ceive a Tool Kit either on the Web or in person, and when individuals participate in an on
- line sun safety tutorial/certification program. Responses to the collection of information are voluntary . All responses to the collection of information remain confi dential , and where appropriate anonym ous . Burden Statement : The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4,548 hours per year . 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 sy stems for the purposes of colle cting, 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affect ed b y this action are elementary and middle school students, parents, and educators (informal and external educators). Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,960 Frequency

of Response: Annual Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,548 hoursMay 18, 2009 6

Estimated To tal Annual Cost: $248,899.93 , includes $ 0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 2,738 hours annuall y in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens
. Fewer hours for EPA are anticipated for the survey work due to a decreased level of sophistication in the anal ys is and decreased effort being needed to solicit survey responses. More hours we re added for teachers participating in an individual interview. Hours were subtracted for teachers administering the student survey
. Hour s were added for teachers participating in the Don’t Fry Day pledge. Finall y, registering such a large number of teachers has resulted in more hours needed at EPA. Hours and burden for edu cators is about the same; hours for students has also decreased significantly . The bottom line burden hours increased along with the total cost. Dated:
