Titles: Background Checks for 

Contractor Employees (Renewal). 

Abstract: EPA uses contractors to 

perform services throughout the nation 

with regard to environmental 

emergencies involving the release, or 

threatened release, of oil, radioactive 

materials or hazardous chemicals that 

may potentially affect communities and 

the surrounding environment. Releases 

may be accidental, deliberate, or may be 

caused by natural disasters. Emergency 

responders are available 24 hours-a-day 

to an incident, and respond with 

necessary personnel and equipment to 

eliminate dangers to the public and 

environment. Contractors responding to 

any of these types of incidents are 

responsible for conducting background 

checks and applying Governmentestablished suitability criteria in 

determining whether employees are 

acceptable to perform on given sites or 

on specific projects prior to contract 

employee performance. The information 

to be collected under the ICR for 

Background Checks for Contractor 

Employees covers citizenship or valid 

visa, criminal convictions, weapons 

offenses, felony convictions, parties 

prohibited from receiving federal 

contracts. The Contractor shall maintain 

records of all background checks. 

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 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1 hour per 

response. 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; 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 affected by this 

action are contractors involved with 

Emergency Response that have 

significant security concerns, as 

determined by the Contracting Officer 

on a case-by-case basis, to provide 

qualified personnel that meet the 

background check requirements 

developed by EPA. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,000. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$179,000, which includes $0 annual 

capital/startup and O&M costs, and 

$179,000 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

no change in the number of hours in the 

total estimated burden currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved ICR Burdens. 

Dated: September 13, 2005.
