response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain,

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. 

EPA estimates that the total annual 

burden hours would be approximately 

145,000 at a cost of $5,200,000. 

Additional details on burden can be 

found in the supporting statement. An 

overview of the questionnaire burden is

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. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does this Apply to? 

Affected entities: Companies that 

voluntarily submit product information 

to EPA’s CPG Product Supplier 

Directory. 

Title: Comprehensive Procurement 

Guidelines Supplier Directory 

Information Form. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2305.01, 

OMB Control No. 2050–NEW. 

ICR status: This ICR is for a new 

information collection activity. 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, 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 Comprehensive 

Procurement Guideline (CPG) program 

is authorized by Congress under Section 

6002 of the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA is required 

to designate products that are or can be 

made with recovered materials, and to 

recommend practices for buying these 

products. 

As part of the program, EPA has 

developed the CPG Product Supplier 

Directory to support government 

agencies in meeting their 

responsibilities. The CPG Product 

Supplier Directory allows users to 

search for companies of a specific CPG 

product, product category, or type of 

material. In addition, users can search 

directly for a specific company by 

typing all or part of the company’s name 

in a search field. All companies 

identified in the CPG Product Supplier 

Directory have self-selected to be 

included and volunteered product 

specification information. All 

information in the Directory is available 

to the public. 

EPA would like to update the CPG 

Product Supplier Directory through 

voluntary information collections, as 

follows: 

• EPA has created a Supplier 

Directory Information Form to enable 

companies to submit information to the 

CPG Product Supplier Directory about 

their company and products. The form 

would be available on-line so that 

companies can submit this information 

at any time. 

• EPA intends to send a letter to the 

companies in the CPG Product Supplier 

Directory every two years, asking them 

to update their entries in the Directory 

as needed. Companies would review 

their entries and send updates to EPA 

by e-mail. EPA would then reflect the 

updates in the Directory as appropriate. 

Burden Statement: The average 

annual public reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for EPA’s 

proposed collections is estimated to be 

about 30 minutes per response. All 

responses are voluntary. 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 will provide a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated average annual number of 

respondents: 641. 

Average frequency of response: Once 

every two years. 

Estimated total average annual 

respondent burden hours: 458 hours. 

Estimated total average annual costs: 

$31,239. This includes an estimated 

labor cost of $31,239 and $0 for capital 

investment, maintenance, and 

operational costs. 

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
