specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described 
below. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently

and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 3, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-OAR-
2007-0069 online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by 
email to a-and-rdocket@epa.gov or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, 
Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania

    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
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. 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. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.

     A participating-teacher survey, measuring experience with 
the Program;
     A participating-student survey identifying sun safety 
knowledge before and after participation in the Program;
     Follow-up phone interviews with teachers who complete the 
survey;
     A SunWise Don't Fry Day pledge form;
     Sun Safety Certification Tutorial questions (for community 
organizations participating in the SunWise program); and a
     Pretest of a SunWise partner survey
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Elementary and middle school 
students and educators, recreation workers, and health educators.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 8,980.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 1,632 hours per year. Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $107,172.45 per year, which includes no 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is no change in the average annual 
burden hours currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.
