National
Environmental
Performance
Track
Program
1(
b)
Short
Characterization
The
National
Environmental
Performance
Track
is
a
voluntary
EPA
program
that
recognizes
and
rewards
private
and
public
facilities
that
demonstrate
top
environmental
performance
beyond
current
regulatory
requirements.
The
program
is
based
on
the
premise
that
government
should
complement
existing
programs
with
new
tools
and
strategies
that
not
only
protect
people
and
the
environment,
but
also
capture
opportunities
for
reducing
cost
and
spurring
technological
innovation.

Performance
Track
is
a
facility
based
program
(
not
corporate­
wide)
that
receives
applications
twice
per
year
in
April
and
May,
and
in
September
and
October.
Acceptance
decisions
are
announced
twice
per
year,
generally
in
March
and
September.
Applying
facilities
must
meet
four
basic
criteria:
1)
a
history
of
sustained
compliance
with
environmental
regulations;
2)
an
environmental
management
system
that
is
certified
by
an
independent
third
party,
and
in
place
for
at
least
one
full
cycle
of
planning,
implementing,
review
and
improvement;
3)
past
and
future
environmental
achievements,
and
a
commitment
to
quantified
continuous
environmental
improvement;
and
4)
public
involvement
and
annual
reporting.
Once
accepted,
members
remain
in
the
program
for
three
years,
as
long
as
they
continue
to
meet
the
program
criteria.
After
three
years,
they
may
apply
to
renew
their
membership
through
a
streamlined
application
process.

EPA
announced
the
National
Environmental
Performance
Track
Program
on
June
26,
2000,
and
a
total
of
401
facilities
are
current
members.
Information
is
collected
by
EPA
in
the
following
areas:
applications,
customer
satisfaction
questionnaire,
regulatory
incentives,
and
annual
performance
reports.
Current
and
potential
Performance
Track
member
facilities,
and
States
are
the
respondents
for
this
program,
and
EPA
and
States
are
the
recipients
and
reviewers
of
this
information.

Applications
submitted
by
facilities
are
used
by
EPA
and
participating
regulatory
entities
to
determine
whether
the
applicant
qualifies
for
the
program
(
See
the
program
website
at
www.
epa.
gov/
performancetrack
for
the
application
form).
Environmental
Performance
Track
members
are
also
required
to
submit
an
Annual
Performance
Report
(
APR)
documenting
their
environmental
performance
relative
to
the
commitments
they
made
upon
entry
into
the
program
(
See
the
program
website
for
the
APR
form).
This
information
is
important
to
determine
whether
participants
are
meeting
their
commitments,
as
well
as
to
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
the
program.
The
public
reporting
elements
of
the
program
also
provide
information
to
the
local
community.
5
Applications
Based
on
data
collected
since
inception
of
Performance
Track,
EPA
estimates
the
number
of
applications
between
2007
and
2009
to
be
110,
116,
and
122,
respectively.
The
Agency
estimates
the
respondent
burden
to
be
33
hours
for
each
new
applicant,
and
23
hours
for
each
renewal
application.
Applications
and
renewal
applications
are
divided
into
two
segments
because
for
any
year
there
are
different
numbers
of
applicants
and
renewal
applicants,
resulting
in
different
burden
hours
and
costs
for
each
segment.
EPA
estimates
476
respondents
annually
over
the
life
of
this
ICR;
this
is
based
on
the
average
of
each
of
the
annual
estimates
for
the
next
three
years
of
440,
475,
and
512
in
2007,
2008,
and
2009,
respectively.

Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
In
addition
to
increasing
membership
in
the
Performance
Track
program,
EPA
is
interested
in
improving
and
increasing
the
value
that
Performance
Track
members
receive
from
the
Performance
Track
Program.
In
2004
and
2006,
under
EPA
ICR
number
1949.03,
EPA
gathered
feedback
from
all
current
Performance
Track
members
through
a
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire.
EPA
intends
to
administer
questionnaire
in
2008,
which
will
be
the
only
time
it
is
administered
over
the
life
of
this
ICR.

Current
Performance
Track
members
reflect
a
broad
array
of
industry
categories
and
their
opinions
about
the
program's
effectiveness
and
level
of
service
are
used
to
shape
the
development
of
future
member
services.
The
questionnaire
assesses
the
satisfaction
level
of
current
members
as
well
as
identifies
improvements
to
services
that
the
program
can
implement
to
increase
long­
term
member
satisfaction.
The
questionnaire
will
ascertain
the
following
information:
program
benefits
and
services
that
are
important
to
members;
member
satisfaction
with
current
services;
potential
improvements
in
communicating
with
members
about
the
program;
the
level
of
promotion/
publicity
that
members
desire
for
their
participation
in
the
program;
and
any
additional
benefits
and
services
that
would
increase
member
satisfaction.

The
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
is
administered
every
two
years
online,
via
the
worldwide
web,
to
reduce
the
burden
on
respondents
and
encourage
a
high
response
rate.
Notification
is
sent
to
all
current
members
with
passwords
to
allow
them
to
access
the
survey.
The
questionnaire
is
administered
for
one
month
to
further
encourage
all
members
to
respond,
allowing
EPA
to
accurately
assess
member
satisfaction
and
desired
improvements
to
the
program.
Member
responses
are
analyzed
and
a
report
produced
at
the
conclusion
of
the
onemonth
survey
period.
EPA
estimates
that
347
members
will
complete
the
survey
in
2008,
with
an
estimated
burden
of
0.5
hours
per
facility
needed
to
complete
the
questionnaire.

Regulatory
Incentives
As
part
of
its
efforts
to
encourage
participation
in
the
program
and
reward
facilities
that
achieve
better
environmental
performance
than
is
required
by
existing
regulations,
Performance
Track
promulgated
its
first
incentives
rule
on
April
22,
2003
(
69
FR
21737)
which
provides
regulatory
incentives
under
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(
RCRA),
and
the
6
Maximum
Achievable
Control
Technology
(
MACT)
criteria.
On
April
4,
2006
EPA
finalized
a
second
RCRA
regulatory
incentive
for
Performance
Track
members,
known
as
the
Burden
Reduction
rule
(
71
FR
16862).
Together,
these
two
regulations
include
the
following
incentives:

°
Reducing
the
frequency
of
reports
required
under
the
MACT
provisions
of
the
Clean
Air
Act.
Through
this
incentive,
EPA
reduced
the
frequency
of
MACT
reporting
for
all
Performance
Track
facilities
to
which
these
criteria
apply.
EPA
also
further
reduced
reporting
criteria
for
Performance
Track
facilities
that
achieve
MACT
or
better
emission
levels
through
pollution
prevention
methods.

°
Allowing
large
quantity
hazardous
waste
generators
participating
in
the
Performance
Track
program
up
to
180
days
to
accumulate
hazardous
waste
without
a
RCRA
permit
or
interim
status,
provided
that
these
generators
meet
certain
conditions.

°
Reducing
the
inspection
frequency
of
permitted
Treatment
Storage
and
Disposal
Facilities
(
TSDFs),
interim
status
TSDFs,
large
quantity
generators
(
LQGs),
and
small
quantity
generators
(
SQGs)
of
hazardous
waste
for
containers,
tank
systems,
containment
buildings,
and
areas
subject
to
spills.

Performance
Track
facilities
eligible
for
these
incentives
voluntarily
determine
whether
they
would
like
to
use
these
incentives
or
not.
Since
promulgation
of
the
first
rule,
many
states
have
taken
steps
to
implement
these
incentives
under
their
delegated
programs.

Although
many
Performance
Track
members
are
eligible
for
the
first
incentives
rule
(
57
members
with
minor
air
permits,
and
165
members
that
are
LQGs),
annual
performance
reports
submitted
by
members
in
the
spring
of
2006
indicate
that
two
members
have
implemented
the
extended
accumulation
time
for
hazardous
waste
and
EPA
staff
estimate
that
two
members
have
availed
themselves
of
the
reduced
MACT
reporting
incentive.
Performance
Track
members
eligible
for
the
burden
reduction
rule
include
14
operating
TSDFs
(
permitted
and
interim
status),
165
members
with
LQG
status,
and
92
members
with
SQG
status.
EPA
anticipates
that
the
number
of
facilities
using
these
incentives
will
grow
during
the
next
three
years.

Annual
Performance
Reports
As
part
of
the
Performance
Track
program's
criteria,
members
must
submit
annual
performance
reports
(
APRs)
each
year.
The
primary
purpose
of
the
APR
is
for
Performance
Track
members
to
demonstrate
that
they
continue
to
meet
program
criteria
(
maintenance
of
an
EMS,
commitment
to
public
outreach,
and
sustained
compliance),
and
are
making
good
faith
efforts
toward
meeting
performance
commitments.
Additionally,
APR
data
allows
EPA
to
analyze
and
communicate
the
environmental
improvements
that
members
are
making.

2.
NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
7
The
information
collected
in
this
ICR
is
necessary
to
meet
the
fundamental
goals
of
the
Performance
Track
program.
The
Performance
Track
program
was
established
in
2000
to
provide
an
alternate
path
through
which
EPA
can
encourage
facilities
to
improve
their
environmental
performance.
Performance
Track
was
established
in
a
public
announcement
on
June
26,
2000,
and
in
a
Federal
Register
notice
on
July
6,
2000
(
65
FR
41655).

Performance
Track
is
a
voluntary
program
for
top
environmental
performer
facilities.
In
order
for
EPA
to
determine
if
facilities
meet
in
initially,
and
continue
to
meet
the
criteria
for
the
program
(
described
in
section
1(
b)
of
this
ICR),
several
types
of
information
are
needed.
These
data
include
program
applications
and
renewal
applications,
customer
surveys,
regulatory
incentives
use,
and
annual
reporting.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
applications
collected
for
the
National
Environmental
Performance
Track
program
are
used
by
EPA
and
states
to
determine
whether
the
applicant
qualifies
for
the
program.
The
APR
is
used
by
EPA
to
assess
the
member's
progress
and
environmental
performance
while
in
the
program,
and
to
determine
whether
they
should
remain
in
the
program.
Both
components
protect
the
credibility
of
the
program
by
avoiding
erroneous
recognition
of
facilities
with
poor
environmental
performance.
The
public
reporting
element
of
the
program
will
also
provide
information
to
the
local
community.

EPA
uses
results
from
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
to
identify
priority
areas
for
the
program
to
improve
in
future.
Personally
identifiable
information
is
not
shared
with
other
agencies
or
organizations.
The
data
analysis
focuses
on
groups
of
respondents,
not
individual
members,
and
the
results
are
not
linked
to
member
facilities
or
companies.
Reports
are
developed
summarizing
the
results
and
to
serve
as
a
basis
for
program
evaluation.

Each
facility's
notifications,
reports,
and
applications
to
the
Agency
will
be
used
by
EPA
and
participating
regulatory
entities
to
monitor
the
facility's
compliance
with
the
incentives,
and
to
determine
whether
the
facility
continues
to
be
eligible
for
the
incentives.

3.
NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Nonduplication
EPA
currently
does
not
have
sources
for
the
other
information
requested
by
the
Performance
Track
Program.
The
information
requested
either
as
part
of
the
Performance
Track
application
or
in
the
required
reports
is
not
available
through
any
other
source
within
the
Agency.
This
information
also
is
not
available
outside
the
agency.

EPA
designed
the
Performance
Track
Program
to
allow
facilities
to
select
a
limited
number
of
performance
measures
upon
which
to
report
past
performance
and
commit
to
future
performance.
EPA
will
encourage
facilities
to
use
the
results
and
goals
they
have
under
existing
local,
state
or
federal
programs
in
order
to
reduce
the
possibility
for
duplication
of
efforts.
For
example,
a
facility
participating
in
an
equivalent
state
leadership
program
could
use
the
achievements
documented
in
that
program
to
meet
the
criteria
for
entry
to
the
Performance
Track
program.
8
The
information
to
be
obtained
through
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
is
not
currently
collected
by
EPA
or
any
other
agency.
Member
satisfaction
with
current
benefits
and
services,
information
on
the
most
effective
means
of
communicating
with
members,
and
desired
benefits
can
only
be
obtained
partially
through
anecdotes
from
EPA's
periodic
contact
with
members.
Use
of
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
will
allow
member
facilities
to
provide
regular
feedback
on
the
services
provided
by
Performance
Track,
giving
EPA
the
information
necessary
to
make
changes
that
will
better
suit
the
program
as
a
whole.

Information
requested
by
EPA
to
determine
incentives
eligibility
and
compliance
is
not
currently
being
collected
by
EPA
or
any
other
agency,
and
will
be
needed
to
monitor
implementation
and
the
resulting
benefits
and
costs
associated
with
each
incentive.
This
information
will
provide
EPA
with
valuable
feedback
in
order
to
guide
future
incentives
efforts.

Act,
EPA
has
begun
soliciting
public
comments
for
a
60
day
period
prior
to
submission
of
the
ICR
to
OMB.
EPA
issued
a
Federal

Consultations
This
information
collection
was
developed
by
Performance
Track
staff.
Since
the
inception
of
the
Performance
Track
Program,
EPA
has
held
public
stakeholder
meetings,
hosted
periodic
meetings
with
Performance
Track
members
and
state
and
EPA
regional
representatives,
and
sought
the
monthly
input
of
state
and
EPA
regional
representatives
through
teleconference
calls.
The
purpose
of
these
meetings
and
teleconferences
was
to
solicit
comments
and
questions
about
the
implementation
of
the
program,
including
elements
of
information
collection.
Most
recently,
EPA
hosted
a
public
meeting
on
October
19,
2005
in
Chicago
to
solicit
feedback
on
the
preliminary
results
of
the
Environmental
Council
of
States
and
EPA's
collaborative
efforts
to
strengthen
the
Performance
Track
Program
and
state
performance
based
environmental
programs
to
develop
high
value
incentives
for
members.

The
Performance
Track
Program,
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire,
and
incentives
have
been
discussed
with
member
facilities
at
Performance
Track
Annual
Member
events
held
in
April
2005
and
May
2006,
through
Performance
Track
newsletters,
and
Regional
meetings.
Responses
to
the
initiatives
have
been
positive.
On
a
number
of
occasions,
EPA
has
had
general
discussions
with
these
facilities
regarding
the
anticipated
burden
of
providing
information
to
support
these
programs.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Performance
Track
participants
are
required
to
submit
an
APR
documenting
their
environmental
performance
relative
to
the
commitments
they
made
upon
entry
into
the
program.
This
information
is
important
to
determine
whether
participants
are
meeting
their
commitments,
as
well
as
to
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
the
program.
Less
frequent
reporting
could
jeopardize
the
credibility
and
success
of
the
program.
9
The
Performance
Track
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
will
be
given
to
members
on
a
biennial
schedule.
This
will
allow
EPA
the
time
necessary
to
implement
changes
the
members
suggest
through
their
responses
to
the
questionnaire,
and
gauge
how
beneficial
the
changes
are
to
the
overall
membership
of
Performance
Track.
EPA
believes
a
two­
year
schedule
for
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
is
an
appropriate
timetable
to
implement
suggestions
and
monitor
what
effects
they
have
on
the
program.

For
the
most
part,
the
incentives
rules
reduce
the
reporting
and
compliance
burdens
for
Performance
Track
members.
The
information
requested
by
the
rules
will
help
EPA
to
determine
whether
Performance
Track
members
continue
to
be
eligible
for
the
incentives.

3(

General
Guidelines
This
information
collection
adheres
to
the
general
guidelines
set
forth
by
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
and
is
consistent
with
the
provisions
at
5
CFR
1320.5(
d)(
2)(
i)
through
(
iv).
There
are
no
special
circumstances
with
respect
to
5
CFR
1320.5(
d)(
2)(
v)
through
(
viii),
as
the
collection
is
not
a
statistical
survey
and
does
not
use
statistical
classifications;
nor
does
it
include
a
pledge
of
confidentiality
that
is
not
supported
by
authority
established
in
statute
or
regulation;
or
require
proprietary,
trade
secret,
or
other
confidential
business
information
not

EPA
shall
treat
information
claimed
as
confidential
business
information
(
CBI)
in
accordance
with
the
criteria
of
40
CFR
part
2.
If
the
participant
fails
to
claim
the
information
as
confidential
upon
submission,
it
may
be
made
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice.
EPA
cannot
guarantee
that

Freedom
of
Information
Act
(
FOIA).
State
participants
will
maintain
CBI
confidentiality
to
the
extent
allowed
by
relevant
state
law.
Note
that
some
state
laws
provide
for
a
greater
degree
of
access
to
and
narrower
protections
for
information
considered
confidential
under
federal
law.

3(

of
the
facility's
EMS.

Section
C
asks
the
applicant
to
choose
a
minimum
of
one
(
small
business)
or
two
(
large
business)
categories
and
document
improvements
that
have
been
made
with
respect
to
performance
during
the
current
year
and
the
previous
year.
Using
the
same
or
a
different
set
of
categories,
the
applicant
must
select
a
minimum
of
two
(
small
business)
or
four
(
large
business)
16
categories
for
which
the
facility
will
commit
to
report
on
its
performance
during
the
three
years
following
acceptance
into
the
program.
The
categories
include:

°
Material
Procurement
°
Suppliers'
Environmental
Performance
°
Material
Use
°
Energy
Use
°
Water
Use
°
Land
and
Habitat
°
Air
Emissions
°
Waste
°
Discharges
to
Water
°
Noise
°
Vibration
°
Products
In
reporting
on
these
categories,
several
guidelines
apply.
First,
facilities
must
indicate
a
specific
baseline
year
against
which
to
measure
all
future
environmental
improvements.
Reporting
of
improvements
must
include
raw
data
that
incorporates
appropriate
standard
units
of
measure.
Facilities
are
encouraged
to
normalize
the
raw
data
by
production
level
or
number
of
employees,
and
a
normalization
rationale
must
be
included.
Facilities
are
asked
to
report
on
how
they
plan
to
achieve
the
proposed
improvements
in
environmental
performance.
The
results
of
the
applicant's
response
to
section
C
of
the
application,
as
well
as
the
facility's
APR
(
described
below),
are
submitted
to
EPA
and
made
available
to
the
public
on
the
program
website.

Section
D
asks
the
applicant
to
answer
four
questions
regarding
how
the
facility
responds
to
community
concerns
regarding
the
environmental
impacts
of
their
operations
and
how
often
the
facility
provides
information
to
the
local
community
about
their
environmental
performance.
In
addition,
this
section
requests
a
list
of
three
local
or
state
regulatory
officials,
and
community/
local
references
that
may
be
contacted
by
EPA
in
reviewing
the
application.

The
activities
required
by
the
components
of
this
information
collection
request
are
not
customary
and
usual
business
practice,
except
for
the
submission
of
EMS
information.
For
facilities
that
have
a
well
documented
EMS
in
place,
compiling
and
maintaining
EMS
data
is
a
customary
business
practice.

Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
(
i)
Data
Items
The
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
will
be
made
available
online
to
all
members.
Submission
of
the
Questionnaire
is
voluntary
and
there
are
no
benefits
tied
to
completing
it.

The
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
contains
30
questions.
The
questions
are
grouped
together
in
the
following
sections:

°
Question
1
asks
for
the
job
title
of
the
respondent.
It
will
be
important
to
know
if
the
respondent
works
at
the
facility
level,
parent
company
level,
or
in
another
position
to
determine
whether
certain
types
of
Performance
Track
services
should
be
aimed
at
certain
job
responsibilities.

°
Questions
2
through
6
ask
about
the
specific
benefits
of
Performance
Track
that
are
important
to
members.
This
tells
EPA
which
aspects
of
the
program
are
most
satisfactory
and
which
might
need
more
or
less
emphasis.

°
Questions
7
through
10
ask
about
the
specific
entities
(
e.
g.,
EPA
or
state
environmental
agency,
community
members,
customers,
etc.)
that
are
important
to
Performance
Track
members.
This
will
be
used
to
assess
if
promotion
efforts
have
been
satisfactorily
targeted.

°
Question
11
asks
about
potential
concerns
members
may
have
had
when
joining
the
program.
This
information
will
be
used
to
potentially
alter
aspects
of
the
program
so
that
prospective
members
will
experience
less
burden
in
applying
(
e.
g.
application
process
or
annual
reporting).
For
example,
if
members
respond
that
there
was
a
lack
of
top
management
support,
more
outreach
can
be
directed
toward
individuals
at
this
level
of
facilities.

°
Questions
12
and
13
ask
members
about
the
Performance
Track
services
they
have
used,
and
how
useful
they
found
these
services.
There
is
also
an
option
to
check
if
18
they
were
not
aware
of
any
of
the
services,
so
that
EPA
can
determine
which
services
have
not
been
communicated
effectively.
EPA
will
use
results
from
these
questions
to
maintain
or
expand
services
that
are
widely
used,
and
re­
evaluate
services
that
members
do
not
find
useful.

°
Questions
14
through
17
request
member
preferences
for
regulatory
incentives.
Members
are
asked
which
regulatory
areas
they
would
be
interested
in
receiving
incentives,
and
the
particular
types
of
incentives
they
would
find
most
beneficial.

°
Questions
18
and
19
ask
members
to
rate
how
satisfied
they
are
with
the
recognition
their
facility
has
received
for
its
membership
in
Performance
Track
and
ask
respondents
for
recommendations
for
ways
to
improve
the
recognition
members
receive.

°
Questions
20
and
21
ask
about
the
most
effective
means
for
communicating
with
members
regarding
Performance
Track
services
or
events.
If,
for
example,
members
agree
that
conferences
and
speaker
events
are
effective
ways
to
communicate
program
information,
EPA
can
target
these
events
to
provide
information
about
new
Performance
Track
services.

°
Questions
22
through
25
ask
members
about
their
presence
at
conferences
in
the
past
three
years
and
their
preferences
for
receiving
Performance
Track
information
at
these
events.
This
information
will
assist
EPA
in
determining
the
types
of
conferences,
as
well
as
the
particular
parts
of
the
conferences,
where
Performance
Track
presence
would
be
most
useful
to
members.

°
Questions
26
through
29
ask
about
the
ways
that
members
use
to
promote
and
receive
value
for
their
participation
in
Performance
Track.
With
this
information,
EPA
can
assist
in
promotional
efforts
to
increase
the
value
of
Performance
Track
membership.

°
Question
30
is
an
open­
ended
question
soliciting
suggestions
for
improvements
to
the
services
Performance
Track
offers.
These
suggestions
will
also
be
evaluated
as
potential
improvements
to
the
program.

EPA
Activities
­
Regulatory
activities
that
apply
to
PT
members
generally
are
all
delegated
to
the
states
through
EPA
standard
delegation
processes.
In
rare
instances,
where
a
sate
is
not
the
delegated
authority
to
run
the
program,
EPA
may
experience
this
burden,
but
for
the
purpose
of
this
ICR,
it
is
assumed
that
all
burden,
both
positive
and
negative,
will
fall
to
the
states.

Program
Participation
Participation
in
Performance
Track
requires
that
members
submit
an
"
Annual
Performance
Report"
each
spring.
In
addition,
one
of
the
tenets
of
PT
is
that
EPA
conducts
a
site
visit
at
up
to
20%
of
all
members
each
year.
Experience
has
typically
resulted
in
a
site
visit
rate
at
about
8%
­
10%
of
the
total
membership
per
year.

(
i)
Data
items
The
Annual
Performance
Report
(
APR)
requires
members
to
report
on:
1)
the
results
of
compliance
and
EMS
audits
conducted
during
the
year;
2)
actual
and
normalized
progress
on
the
performance
measures
selected
for
continuous
improvement,
as
well
as
the
methods
by
which
improvements
are
made;
3)
public
outreach
activities
and
results;
and
4)
the
public
distribution
mechanism
for
the
APR.

Site
visits
result
in
some
burden
for
members.
Members
typically
spend
time
preparing
for
a
site
visit,
spend
time
with
EPA
and
the
state
during
a
visit,
and
time
conducting
some
follow
up
21
activities.

(

MANAGEMENT
5(
a).
Agency
Activities
Performance
Track
participants
are
selected
by
a
review
team
consisting
of
EPA
representatives.
EPA
coordinates
with
the
relevant
state
environmental
agency
during
review
of
the
applicants.
Selection
decisions
are
based
on
whether
the
applicant
facility
meets
all
of
the
criteria
outlined
in
the
application,
including
a
compliance
screen.
The
compliance
screen
is
based
on
the
Agency's
Screening
Guidance
for
Partnership
Programs.
If
the
applicant
does
not
meet
the
criteria,
the
facility
is
not
accepted
into
Performance
Track.

EPA
generally
responds
to
applicants
within
90
days
after
the
close
of
the
"
open

period.
Facilities
are
notified
in
writing
whether
they
qualify.
Facilities
that
are
not

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
The
quality
of
data
EPA
receives
through
applications,
customer

survey,
and
annual
performance
reports
is
first
pre­
screened,
and
then
checked
by
EPA
headquarters
and
regional
staff.
All
data
are
received
electronically
through
an
on­
line
application
and
reporting
system
that
EPA
designed
specifically
for
this
program.
Data
are
received
via
the
internet,
and
is
registered
and
password
protected
for

Data
are
placed
in
a

Small
Entity
Flexibility
Applicants
to
the
Performance
Track
Program
vary
in
size.
The
burden
to
small
facilities
was
recognized
during
the
development
of
the
program,
and
the
necessity
of
developing
program
criteria
flexible
enough
to
stimulate
interest
in
participation
by
small
facilities
was
considered.
As
such,
small
businesses
must
select
commitments
in
two
(
as
opposed
to
four)
criteria,
and
demonstrate
one
(
rather
than
two)
past
environmental
achievements.

This
section
presents
EPA's
estimates
of
the
respondent's
burden
hours
to
complete
the
activities
associated
with
this
information
collection.
EPA
considers
respondents
to
be
applicants
and
member
facilities
of
the
Performance
Track
Program.
In
certain
instances
states
are
also
respondents.
EPA
and
States
generally
are
not
respondents
for
this
ICR,
but
rather
are
the
recipients
and
reviewers
of
the
data
collected.

Table

summarizes
projected
membership,
application
levels,
responses
to
the
biennial

There
are
401
members
in
the
Performance
Track
program
as
of
May
2006.
Based
on
the
program's
average
historical
application
growth
(
12.8%),
and
acceptance
rate
(
74%),
over
the
history
of
the
program.
2
Renewals
of
applications
are
based
on
how
many
current
members
are
scheduled
to
reach
the
end
of
a
3­
year
term
of
membership
and
could
renew
their
membership
in
the
program.
Historical
renewal
application
and
acceptance
rates
are
70%.

The
next
customer
satisfaction
questionnaire
will
be
administered
in
the
summer
of
2008
to
a
projected
475
members.
Based
on
the
2004
questionnaire
response
rate
(
73%),
EPA
estimates
that
347
members
will
respond.

Applications
and
Renewal
Applications
The
following
are
activities
that
respondents
perform
during
the
application
and
renewal
application
phases:
1.
Read
the
application
and
guidance
document.
2.
Gather
information
to
complete
the
four
sections
of
the
application.
3.
Complete
and
submit
the
four
sections
of
the
application
to
EPA.
25
Based
on
its
experience
in
administering
the
program,
EPA
has
adjusted
its
estimate
(
from
ICR
1949.02)
for
respondent
burden
to
complete
its
application
and
renewal
application
to
33
and
23
hours,
respectively.

EPA
estimates
burden
hours
by
projecting
program
membership
levels
from
a
February
2006
baseline.
As
of
February
2006
there
were
401
Performance
Track
member
facilities,
including
"
Round
11"
acceptances.
Based
on
data
collected
since
inception
of
Performance
Track,
EPA
estimates
the
number
of
applications
during
2007
to
2009
to
be
110,
116,
and
122.
The
Agency
estimates
the
respondent
burden
to
be
33
hours
for
each
new
applicant
and
23
hours
for
each
renewal
application.
Applications
and
renewal
applications
are
divided
into
two
segments
because
for
any
year
there
are
different
numbers
of
applicants
and
renewal
applicants,
resulting
in
different
burden
hours
and
costs
for
each
segment.
EPA
estimates
476
respondents
annually
over
the
life
of
this
ICR;
this
is
based
on
the
average
of
each
of
the
annual
estimates
of
membership
for
the
next
three
years
of
440,
475,
and
512
in
2007,
2008,
and
2009
respectively.
These
estimates
account
for
projected
attrition
associated
with
re­
application.
EPA
assumes
for
purposes
of
estimating
burden
that
70%
of
member
facilities
eligible
for
renewal
will
apply
and
be
accepted.
This
estimate
is
based
on
historical
information
for
the
program
to
date.

EPA
estimated
the
hourly
labor
rates
of
managerial,
legal,
technical,
and
administrative
professionals
according
to
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics'
National
Occupational
Employment
and
Wage
and
Employer

datasets.
The

was
obtained
from

Customer
Satisfaction
Survey
Members
conduct
the
following
activities
to
complete
and
submit
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire:
1.
Read
the
email
announcing
the
survey,
asking
for
their
participation,
and
containing
the
instructions
for
taking
the
survey.
2.
Complete
and
submit
the
survey
online.

The
activities
required
by
the
components
of
this
information
collection
request
are
not
customary
and
usual
business
practice.
EPA
estimates
that
respondents
to
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
will
take
0.5
hours
to
read
the
instructions
and
complete
the
online
survey.
This
estimate
is
based
on
timed
pre­
tests
of
the
questionnaire
instrument,
in
which
EPA
contractor
staff
and
seven
Performance

members
completed
the
questionnaire
online,
and
experience
with
the
2004
questionnaire.

Based
on
the
2004
survey
response
rate,
EPA
anticipates
that
347
member
facilities
will
complete
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire
in
2008.

The
following
are
activities
a
respondent
must
perform
if
the
respondent
chooses
to
avail
itself
of
a
particular
incentive
contained
in
the
rulemakings.

MACT
Provisions:
1.
Submit
annual
periodic
report
or
certification,
depending
on
whether
pollution
prevention
technology
or
technique
is
being
used,
rather
than
semi­
annual
report.

RCRA
Provisions
for
extended
accumulation
time:
1.
Submit
prior
written
notification
to
the
authorized
regulatory
program.
2.
Submit
amendment
to
contingency
plan.

RCRA
Provisions
for
reduced
inspection
frequency:
1.
Submit
application
for
Class
1
permit
modification,
or
request
for
reduced
selfinspections
2.
Submit
notification
of
termination
of
PT
membership
EPA
estimates
that
Performance
Track
members
availing
themselves
of
the
MACT
reduction
in
reporting
frequency
each
will
save
25.5
hours
per
year.
To
use
the
RCRA
waste
accumulation
incentive,
EPA
estimates
that
each
member
who
uses
the
incentive
will
spend
1
hour
per
year.
This
estimate
is
based
on
the
notification
being
a
one­
time
requirement.
EPA
estimates
that
15
new
facility
members
will
use
this
incentive
each
year.
For
the
RCRA
reduced
self­
inspection
frequency
for
tank
systems,
etc.,
EPA
analyzed
the
applicable
information
collection
requests
and
costs
benefit
analyses
to
determine
existing
burden
estimates.
2
EPA
estimates
that
the
reduced
inspection
frequency
incentive
will
result
in
206
fewer
burden
hours
for
each
facility
that
uses
all
four
provisions­

Annual
Performance
Reports
and
Site
Visits
The
following
are
activities
a
respondent
must
perform
while

in
the
National
Environmental
Performance
Track
Program:

1.

the
Performance
Track
participation
criteria.
3.
Prepare,
coordinate,

that
year).

EPA
estimates
that
facilities
will
need
an
average
of
8.5
hours
to
complete
an
annual
performance
report,
and
32
hours
for
site
visit
activities
(

as
a
customary
business
practice.
EPA
does
not

EPA
estimates
that
participating

hours
per
facility
during
the
application
review
phase,
and
14
hours
for
each

report.
EPA
estimates
that
State
Agency
representatives
will
attend
75%
of
all
Site
visits.
EPA
estimates
the
annual
cost
to
states
to
be
$
92.05
per
participant
in
the
Performance
Track
program
during
a
28
typical

This
is
based
on
the
annualized
number
of
respondents
(
476),
and
annualized
total
state
costs
of
$
43,815.87.
Tables

States
are
not

and
thus
there
will
be
no

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
This
section
presents
EPA's
estimates
of
the
Agency's
burden
hours
and
costs
during
the
application
phase,
customer
satisfaction
questionnaire,
delivery
of
regulatory
incentives,
and
the
annual
performance
reviews.
The
burden
included
in
the
tables
is
based
on
EPA's
experience
with
developing,
gathering
information,
and
providing
oversight
and
coordination
for
the
Performance
Track
Program
and
its
experience
administering
the
program
over
the
past
six
years.
Table
6.6
below
provides
a
summary
of
annualized
Agency
burden
and
costs
during
the
three
years
of
this
ICR
(
application
and
participation
in
the
program)
and
6.7
(
incentives)
below
provide
detailed
annualized
Agency
burden
and
cost
estimates.

EPA
estimates
it
will
expend
8
and
7
hours
respectively
per
facility
during
the
application
and
renewal
application
phases,
and
4
hours
reviewing
participants'
annual
environmental
performance
reports.
This
ICR
estimates
28
hours
for
the
Site
visit,
comprising
pre­
visit
coordination,
travel,
site
visit,
and
a
post­
visit
report.
EPA
estimates
that
it
will
conduct
site
visits
at
10%
of
all
Performance
Track
facilities
on
an
annual
basis.
The
annual
cost
to
the
agency
is
$
165.21
per
participant
in
the
Performance
Track
program
during
a
typical
program
year.

In
administering
the
Customer
Satisfaction
Questionnaire,
EPA
anticipates
minimal
costs
on
account
of
the
development
and
administration
of
the
survey
in
2004,
so
we
have
not
included
any
burden
estimates
for
the

Variations
in

in
the
annual
respondent
reporting

over
the
course
of
the
requested

The

will
be
the

for
each

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
There
is
a
significant
decrease
in
the
burden
hours
for
this
renewal
ICR.
Several
factors
account
for
the
decrease
in
burden.
The
primary
reason
for
the
decrease
is
in
"
program
participation"
under
ICR
1949.03.
The
estimated
hours
for
program
participation
were
dramatically
overestimated
in
the
previous
ICR,
and
EPA
has
determined
that
these
hours
were
incorrect.
Specifically,
EPA
estimated
significant
burden
for
"
compliance
demonstration,
EMS
documentation
and
reporting,
continuous
performance
demonstration,
and
reporting
and
public
outreach."
This
burden
was
not
correctly
estimated,
nor
attributable
to
information
collection
requirements
of
the
Performance
Track
Program.
Other
areas
that
contributed
to
the
decrease
in
burden
hours
are
application
and
renewal
application
hours,
incentives
hours,
and
annual
performance
reporting
hours.
Estimated
burden
hours
per
facility
for
the
customer
satisfaction
survey
have
not
changed.
Finally,
EPA
has
gained
tremendous
experience
in
the
last
three
years
about
implementing
its
Performance
Track
Program,
and
assessing
ICR
burden
in
ICR
amendments
1949.03
and
1949.04.
As
a
result
of
this
experience,
EPA
believes
that
current
estimates
in
ICR
1949.05
to
be
significantly
more
accurate
than
previous
estimates.

This
renewal
ICR
1949.05
estimates
annualized
burden
hours
to
be
7,805.
This
is
a
reduction
of
105,634
hours
from
the
previous
reportable
burden
in
ICR
1949.03
to
OMB
of
113,439
hours.

Burden
Statement
The
average
annual
respondent
burden
for
the
Performance
Track
Program
is
16.4
hours
per
facility
per
year.
This
includes
all
applications,
compliance
screens,
annual
reporting,
incentives
participation,
and
site
visits.

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.
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
are
listed
in
40
CFR
Part
9
and
48
CFR
Chapter
15.

To
comment
on
the
Agency's
need
for
this
information,
the
accuracy
of
the
provided
burden
estimates,
and
any
suggested
methods
for
minimizing
respondent
burden,
including
the
use
of
automated
collection
techniques,
