What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPEI–2006– 

0037 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are States, Tribal, 

and Territorial Environmental Offices 

receiving National Environmental 

Information Exchange Network (NEIEN) 

grants. 

Title: Exchange Network Grants 

Progress Report (Renewal) 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2207.03, 

OMB Control No. 2025–0006. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2009. 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 and 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: This notice announces the 

collection of information related to the 

U.S. EPA NEIEN Grant Program. The 

EPA Office of Environmental 

Information provides funding to EPA’s 

Exchange Network partners (states, 

territories, and federally recognized 

Indian tribes) to support the 

development of the NEIEN. The NEIEN 

is an Internet and-standards-based, 

secure information system that supports 

the electronic collection, exchange, and 

integration of data among its partners. 

Funding for the Grant Program has been 

provided through annual congressional 

appropriations for the EPA. 

To enhance the quality and overall 

public benefit of the Network, EPA 

proposes to collect information from the 

NEIEN grantees about how they intend 

to ensure quality in their projects and 

the environmental outcomes and 

outputs from their projects. The 

proposed Quality Assurance Reporting 

Form is intended to provide a simple 

means for grant recipients to describe 

how quality will be addressed 

throughout their projects. The Quality 

Assurance Reporting Form is derived 

from guidelines provided in the NEIEN 

2006 grant solicitation notice. As a 

stipulation of their award, grant 

recipients are to submit the form within 

ninety days of grant award. 

Grantees are currently required to 

submit semi-annual progress reports as 

a stipulation of their award. In these 

reports, grantees outline project goals, 

activities required to meet these goals, 

and outputs and outcomes of activities 

to date. At the request of numerous 

grantees, we are proposing to offer the 

Progress Reporting Form as a vehicle for 

collecting information. This form is 

easier to complete than an unstructured 

narrative; it can be used as the semiannual and final report form and the 

information returned will be of higher 

quality and comparable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.5 hours for the 

Semi-Annual Report Form per response 

and 1 hour per Quality Assurance Form 

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 that 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: State, 

Tribal, and Territorial Environmental 

Offices receiving NEIEN grants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

225. 

Frequency of Response: Twice for the 

Semi-Annual Report Form; once for the 

Quality Assurance Form. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

733. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $37,000 

includes $0 annualized capital or O&M 

costs and $37,000 annual labor costs. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 283 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This change is due to an 

increase in the estimate to complete the 

Semi-annual Progress Report Form and 

due to the additional of the Quality 

Assurance Form. 

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 

122(i) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response,

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (‘‘EPA’’), Region 2, of a 

proposed settlement agreement 

pursuant to Section 122(h) of CERCLA, 

42 U.S.C. 9622(h), in accordance with 

EPA ‘‘ability-to-pay’’ policies, with 

Crumb’s Trailer Park, LLC (the ‘‘Settling 

Party’’), a New York limited liability 

corporation which is a potentially 

responsible party, pursuant to CERCLA, 

for a removal response action conducted 

by EPA at the Crumb Trailer Park 

Superfund Site (‘‘Site’’) in the Village of 

West Winfield, Herkimer County, New 

York. The Site includes a 2.6-acre parcel 

of real property that had been occupied

response action included the placement 

of a soil cover over contaminated soils 

at the Site, the imposition of 

institutional controls to prohibit 

residential use of the Site and the

the mobile home facility at the Site to 

an adjacent mobile home facility on 

property owned by the Settling Party. 

EPA has estimated the value of the 

settlement at $132,600. Pursuant to the 

settlement, the Settling Party will lease 

to the relocated residents at their 

existing rents for at least forty-two (42)

settlement. EPA will consider all 

comments received and may modify or

considerations that indicate that the 

proposed settlement is inappropriate, 

improper or inadequate. EPA’s response
