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 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. Submit your comments by the 

deadline identified under DATES. 

6. Identify the docket ID number 

assigned to the ICR in the subject line 

on the first page of your response. You 

may also provide the ICR title and 

related EPA and OMB numbers. 

III. What do I need to know about the 

PRA? 

An Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

subject to PRA approval unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

the EPA regulations in title 40 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after 

appearing in the preamble of the final 

rule, are further displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instruments or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers for certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in a list at 40 

CFR 9.1. 

As used in the PRA context, burden 

is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

IV. What ICR does this request apply 

to? 

Title: EPA’s Safer Choice Product and 

Partner Recognition Activities. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2692.01. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–[new]. 

ICR status: This ICR reflects the 

consolidation of the following currently 

approved ICRs: ‘‘Safer Choice Product 

Recognition Program’’ (EPA ICR No. 

2302.03, OMB Control No. 2070–0178) 

and ‘‘Safer Choice Label Consultations’’ 

(EPA ICR No. 2487.02, OMB Control No. 

2070–0189. The ‘‘Safer Choice Product 

Recognition Program’’ (EPA ICR No. 

2302.03, OMB Control No. 2070–0178); 

is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2022 

and the ‘‘Safer Choice Label 

Consultations’’ (EPA ICR No. 2487.02, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0189) is 

scheduled to expire on November 31, 

2022. 

Abstract: This ICR will cover the 

information collection activities 

associated with the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for 

individuals, businesses, organizations, 

and government entities participating in 

or collaborating with EPA’s Safer Choice 

program. These components are
