Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
seeking
approval
for
a
three­
year
generic
clearance
from
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
to
collect
data
to
be
used
for
performance
measurement
of
EPA
Partnership
Programs.

This
will
be
a
voluntary
collection
of
information
to
assess
the
results
arising
from
activities
conducted
by
partners
in
EPA
Partnership
Programs.
The
proposed
generic
measurement
ICR
will
involve
voluntary
collections
of
information
via
surveys
to
assess
the
activities
of
EPA
Partnership
Programs.
Performance
measurement
data
collected
will
detail
awareness
of
associated
environmental
activities,
behavior
change,
and
associated
environmental
benefits.
EPA
proposes
to
use
electronic
surveys
and
questionnaires
to
assess
activities
for
program
purpose
and
design,
strategic
planning,
program
management,
and
program
results
to
determine
if
the
goals
of
the
program
are
being
met.

The
affected
audience
for
this
ICR
includes
participants
in
all
of
EPA's
Partnership
Programs,
including
businesses,
governments,
and
members
of
the
community.

Similar
to
the
OECA
generic
ICR
for
Assessment
of
Compliance
Assistance
Projects
(
EPA
ICR
1869.02),
this
generic
ICR
will
streamline
the
ability
of
the
90+
EPA
Partnership
Programs
to
assess
activities
for
program
purpose
and
design,
strategic
planning,
program
management
and
program
results
to
determine
if
the
goals
of
the
program
are
being
met.
Without
this
generic
measurement
ICR,
each
of
the
90+
programs
must
develop
an
individual
ICR,
submit
it
to
OMB,
and
OMB
must
then
review
and
approve
each
ICR.
The
generic
ICR
will
save
both
time
and
resources.

All
assessments
undertaken
under
this
ICR
will
follow
stringent
procedures
to
ensure
that
data
are
collected
and
used
properly
and
efficiently.
This
ICR
will
provide
anecdotal
data
for
the
purpose
of
informing
EPA
of
the
perceived
effectiveness
of
partnership
programs
and
will
also
allow
partnership
programs
to
collect
data
on
the
environmental
results
of
partner
activities
due
to
participation.
The
information
collection
is
voluntary,
and
will
be
limited
to
non­
sensitive
data
concerning
participation
in
partnership
programs.

This
process
does
not
involve
fact­
finding
for
the
purposes
of
regulatory
development
or
enforcement.

EPA
estimates
that
a
combination
of
surveys
(
electronic,
mail,
and
telephone)
will
generate
voluntary
responses
from
approximately
16,000
respondents
for
an
estimated
burden
of
34,668
hours
over
a
three­
year
period.
EPA
anticipates
that
use
of
this
generic
ICR
will
increase
over
the
course
of
three
years,
and
the
burden
will
grow
each
year.

Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
To
help
fulfill
the
broad
mandate
of
protecting
human
health
and
the
environment,
EPA
works
with
businesses,
communities,
state
and
local
governments,
and
other
organizations
to
achieve
environmental
goals
through
partnership
programs.
Partnership
programs
provide
organizations
with
the
information
and
assistance
necessary
to
achieve
and
maintain
various
environmental
goals.

EPA
believes
that
measuring
the
performance
of
partnership
programs
is
compulsory
to
ensure
that
partnership
programs
are
reaching
the
intended
audience,
providing
valuable
resources,
and
achieving
the
desired
environmental
results.
Understanding
this
will
allow
EPA
to
better
design
and
manage
these
partnership
programs
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
participants
and
to
meet
EPA's
environmental
goals.
A
generic
measurement
ICR
will
significantly
increase
the
ability
of
EPA
Partnership
Programs
to:
obtain
sound
program
performance
data
to
determine
and
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
these
partnership
programs
as
well
as
help
the
programs
obtain
data
to
successfully
complete
PART
reviews;
increase
the
consistency
of
program
performance
data
as
an
alternative/
adjunct
to
traditional
regulatory
approaches
for
achieving
environmental
results;
minimize
approval
burden
on
OMB
as
submissions
will
be
shorter
and
of
higher
quality
via
the
generic
measurement
ICR
process;
and
reduce
burden
on
potential
respondents
by
limiting
the
number
of
requests
for
information.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Uses
of
the
Data
EPA
believes
program
measurement
is
a
requirement
of
a
well­
managed
program.
The
feedback
will
help
the
Agency:
assess
activities
for
program
purpose
and
design,
strategic
planning,
program
management
and
program
results
to
determine
if
the
goals
of
the
program
are
being
met.

This
ICR
only
supports
program
assessments,
which
describe
accomplishments,
yet
make
no
broad
generalizations
or
claims.
The
ICR
will
not
be
used
to
make
generalizations
to
overall
populations
(
e.
g.,
industry
sectors
or
geographic
regions).
The
ICR
does
not
involve
"
fact­
finding"
for
the
purposes
of
regulatory
development
or
enforcement,
and
the
information
obtained
will
not
be
used
to
make
major
policy
decisions.
Additionally,
no
sensitive
data
will
be
collected
under
this
ICR.

After
the
partnership
programs
collect
data
under
each
survey,
the
responses
will
be
reported
to
OPEI
as
specified
in
section
5(
b).
Following
analysis,
the
synthesized
findings
will
be
shared
with
the
appropriate
Agency
offices,
which
may
use
them
to:

Develop
baseline
data
on
existing
partner
practices
prior
to
participation
in
the
partnership
program.

Perform
program
evaluation
to
increase
program
effectiveness,
including
collecting
ideas
or
suggestions
for
improvement
of
program
services
(
e.
g.,
helplines,
publications)
from
the
people
who
use
them.

Assess
the
current
value
of
a
program
to
participants
for
use
in
future
program
recruiting
materials
and
to
assess
perceived
benefits
of
the
program
compared
with
expenditures.

Identify
topics
on
which
to
develop
additional
resources.

Assess
changes
in
behavior
and
environmental
results
to
inform
EPA
management
and
stakeholders
of
success
and
gauge
program
effectiveness.
3
EPA
anticipates
that
the
results
of
partnership
program
assessments
will
lead
to
increased
participation
in
and
improved
effectiveness
of
the
partnership
programs.
Ultimately,
these
changes
could
result
in
increased
environmental
results
as
the
programs
are
tailored
to
best
meet
the
needs
of
the
participants.

Non­
duplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
3(
a)
Non­
duplication
EPA
will
evaluate
performance
of
partnership
programs,
including
materials
produced,
educational/
outreach
activities,
and
environmental
results
from
partner
participation.
The
information
collected
through
this
ICR
will
not
overlap
with
other
EPA
surveys.

3(

Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
On
[
INSERT
DATE],
EPA
published
a
pre­
ICR
Federal
Register
Notice
announcing
its
intent
to
submit
an
ICR
to
OMB
regarding
the
measurement
of
partnership
programs.
EPA
did
not
receive
any
comments
on
this
ICR.

3(
c)
Consultations
EPA
has
received
feedback
on
this
information
collection
from
key
stakeholders
including:

EPA
Partnership

managers
and
staff
who
could
make
use
of
the
ICR

Managers
of
the

Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Data
Collection
EPA
anticipates
that
partnership
programs
will
reassess
their
partners'
activities
every
other
year.
In
most
cases,
programs
will
only
reassess
one
time
during
the
three­
year
clearance;
therefore
this
information
collection
could
not
be
conducted
less
frequently.

The
Respondents
and
the
Information
Requested
4(
a)
Respondents/
SIC
Codes
For
this
ICR,
the
term
"
respondents"
refers
to
individuals
who
provide
feedback
on
EPA's
Partnership
Programs
and
activities.
Potential
respondents
include
all
partnership
program
participants
including
businesses,
governments,
and
members
of
the
community.

4(
b)
Information
Requested
(
i)
Data
items,
including
record
keeping
requirements
Information
requested
by
surveys
developed
under
this
ICR
will
be
used
to
assess
partnership
programs.
Each
survey
will
request
specific
information
related
to
the
partnership
program
being
evaluated.
EPA
offers
more
than
90
partnership
programs
to
a
wide
range
of
audiences.
Section
1(
b)
identifies
the
general
types
of
questions
that
will
be
asked
in
the
surveys.
Surveys
developed
under
this
ICR
will
be
limited
to
those
types
of
questions.
See
Attachment
A
for
the
list
of
questions.

For
purposes
of
this
generic
ICR,
EPA
assumed
the
following
three
types
of
surveys
will
be
used
to
assess
partnership
programs:

Level
1 
Awareness
Survey:
This
type
of
survey
would
include
general
questions
about
the
participating
organization
and
questions
to
determine
changes
in
awareness
of
environmental
issues
as
a
result
of
participation
in
the
partnership
program.

Level
2 
Awareness
and
Behavior
Survey:
This
type
of
survey
would
include
general
questions
about
the
participating
organization
and
awareness
of
environmental
issues
along
with
questions
to
measure
behavior
change.

Level
3 
Awareness,
Behavior,
and
Environmental
Results
Survey:
This
type
of
survey
would
include
behavioral
change
questions
as
mentioned
above
as
well
as
environmental
results
and
cost
savings
data.
This
survey
would
require
respondents
to
track
and
collect
some
data.

(
ii)
Respondent
activities
As
part
of
this
ICR,
respondents
will
review
survey
forms,
collect
data
as
necessary,
answer
questions,
and
submit
survey
forms
to
EPA.

The
Information
Collected 
Agency
Activities,
Collection
Methodology,
and
Information
Management
5(
a)
Agency
Activities
Agency
activities
associated
with
the
collection
of
information
on
partnership
programs
may
include:

Developing
individual
surveys

Disseminating
questionnaires
to
respondents

Gathering
information
from
respondents

Filtering/
screening
response
data
obtained
through
Internet
feedback
screens

Preparing
findings

Storing
and
maintaining
results

Adjusting
partnership
program
activities
based
on

results
5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
An
internal
review
and
oversight
process,
independent
of
the
originating
program
office,
has
been
established
for
all
assessment
activities
conducted
under
this
ICR.
Prior
to
initiating
an
assessment,
each
program
will
provide
to
OPEI
a
memo
with
the
following
information:

Title,
identification
of
originator,
and
appropriate
contact
information.

Summary
and
description
of
the
intended
purpose
as
it
relates
to
the
mission
of
EPA's
Partnership
Programs.

Delivery
method
(
e.
g.,
electronic/
mail/
fax,
phone),
collection
schedule,
and
follow
up
plans.

Planned
use
of
information
collected.

Number
of
respondents,
and
burden
in
costs
and
hours
to
respondents
and
the
Agency.

OPEI
will
submit
surveys
to
OMB
for
a
10­
business
day
expedited
review
and
determination.
A
summary
including
title,
sponsoring
office,
number
of
respondents,
and
estimated
burden
hours
and
costs
will
be
attached.
Following
the
completion
of
assessment
activities,
all
offices
will
provide
copies
of
their
approved
assessment
tool,
analytical
reports,
and
a
description
of
any
follow
up
actions
to
OPEI.
The
Agency
will
maximize
the
efficiency
of
information
collection
by
making
every
effort
to
improve
response
rates
to
assessment
activities.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
All
data
collected
under
this
ICR
are
voluntarily
reported.
EPA
expects
that
some
of
the
participants
in
EPA
Partnership
Programs
will
be
small
entities.
EPA
has
designed
this
generic
ICR
to
minimize
respondent
burden
while
obtaining
sufficient
and
accurate
information.

5(
d)
Collection
Schedule
This
will
be
dependent
upon
the
needs
of
each
originator
of
a
survey.
Schedules
for
surveys
will
be
documented
by
the
survey
sponsors.

6.
Estimating
the
Burden
and
Cost
of
the
Collection
6(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
Respondent
activities
are
expected
to
include
only
a
few
steps:
reviewing
instructions,
responding
to
surveys,
and
sending
(
via
mail,
e­
mail,
or
telephone)
responses.
To
minimize
the
respondent
burden,
EPA
will
use
simple,
clear
survey
designs
that
are
easy
to
respond
to
and
are
of
limited
scope.
There
will
be
no
requirement
for
respondents
to
develop
data
gathering
systems,
train
personnel,
or
maintain
records.
However,
respondents
might
need
to
collect
and
track
some
data.

EPA
expects
the
burden
associated
with
this
ICR
to
grow
over
the
course
of
three
years.
This
is
due
to
several
reasons.
First,
many
partnership
programs
have
existing
ICRs
in
place
and
may
not
need
to
6
use
the
generic
ICR
until
they
are
due
for
renewal.
Second,
as
EPA
Partnership
Program
staff
become
more
familiar
with
the
generic
ICR,
OPEI
anticipates
that
more
programs
will
begin
using
it.
Table
6­
1
below
presents
the
estimated
use
of
this
generic
ICR
by
partnership
programs
over
the
course
of
three
years.
Over
the
course
of
these
three
years,
participants
in
those
partnership
programs
will
be
asked
to
submit
information.

To
determine
the
total
number
of
respondents,
EPA
assumed
that
its
smaller
partnership
programs
(
with
200
or
fewer
participants)
would
be
most
likely
to
use
the
generic
ICR.
Based
on
that
assumption,
EPA
anticipates
the
number
of
respondents
listed
in
table
6­
2.
In
the
first
year,
EPA
estimates
feedback
from
approximately
2,000
respondents
for
an
estimated
burden
of
4,333
hours.
In
the
second
year,
EPA
estimates
feedback
from
approximately
5,000
respondents
for
an
estimated
burden
of
10,833
hours.
In
the
third
year,
EPA
estimates
feedback
from
approximately
9,000
respondents
for
an
estimated
burden
of
19,500
hours.
In
addition,
those
partnership
programs
that
will
use
the
generic
ICR
in
year
1
will
most

determined
questions
(
Attachment
A),
partnership
programs
are
able
to
select
the
questions
they
are
interested

There
are
different
types
of
questions
geared
at
gauging
awareness,

and
measurement
of
partnership
programs.
Partnership
programs
using
the
generic
ICR
may
select
from
these
questions
to
design
a
tailored
questionnaire
for
their
specific
needs.
Partnership

will
also
have
the
option
of
customizing
the
answer
choices
for
the
questions
they
choose
to
use.

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
In
order
to
minimize
the
respondent
burden,
survey
designs
will
be
simple,
convenient,
easy
to
respond
to,
and
clear
in
content
and
purpose.
Surveys
will
be
of
limited
scope
and
require
only
a
short
time
to
complete.

(

Estimating
Labor
Costs
The
labor
rates
used
to
determine
the
estimated
costs
to
respondents
are
consistent
with
the
hourly
wage
rates
published
by
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
publications
on
employment
and
earnings.
Rates
include
the
cost
of
overhead
and
fringe
benefits.
EPA
estimates
an
average
respondent
hourly
labor
rate
(
hourly
plus
overhead)
of
$
79.49
for
managerial
staff,
$
64.80
for

staff,
and
$

for
clerical

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
Table

4
provides
the
annual
estimates
for
EPA
burden
and
cost
associated
with
developing
and
disseminating
surveys
and
analyzing
the
results.
EPA
used
its
experience
implementing
other
partnership
programs
to
estimate
burden
estimates
for
Agency
staff.
The
hourly
labor
rates
used
to
determine
the
estimated
costs
to
the
Agency
are
consistent
with
annual
labor
rates
published
in
the
Federal
Register
and
are
based
on
the
2004
GS
pay
schedule
available
from
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management.
EPA
estimates
an
average
hourly
labor
cost
of
$
62.91
for
managerial
staff;
$
46.11
for
technical
staff;
and
$
18.51
for
clerical
staff.
The
labor
costs
are
based
on
the
following
GS
levels
and
steps:
managerial
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
14,
Step
4;
technical
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
12
Step
5;
and
clerical
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
5,
Step
1.
To
derive
hourly
estimates,
EPA
divided
annual
compensation
by
2,080 
the
number
of
hours
in
the
Federal
work­
year.
EPA
then
multiplied
hourly
rates
by
the
standard
government
overhead
factor
of
1.6.

Because
EPA
expects
use
of
the
generic
ICR
to
increase
over
the
course
of
3
years,
in
order
to
determine
the
Agency's
annual
burden,
EPA
assumed
an
average
of
23.3
programs
using
the
generic
ICR
each
year,
with
those
surveys
being
evenly
divided
between
the
three
types
of
surveys.

to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for

time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems

the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information;
