Title:
National
Environmental
Performance
Track
Program
(
OMB
Control
Number
2010
 
0032,
EPA
ICR
Number
1949.02).
This
is
a
request
to
renew
an
existing
approved
collection
that
is
scheduled
to
expire
on
June
30,
2003.
Under
OMB
regulations,
the
Agency
may
continue
to
conduct
or
sponsor
the
collection
of
information
while
this
submission
is
pending
at
OMB.
Abstract:
EPA
announced
the
National
Environmental
Performance
Track
Program
on
June
26,
2000.
The
program
is
designed
to
recognize
and
encourage
facilities
that
consistently
meet
their
legal
requirements,
that
have
implemented
management
systems
to
monitor
and
improve
performance,
that
have
voluntarily
achieved
environmental
improvements
beyond
compliance,
and
that
publicly
commit
to
specific
environmental
improvements
and
report
on
progress.
Applications
submitted
by
facilities
are
used
by
EPA
and
participating
regulatory
entities
to
determine
whether
the
applicant
qualifies
for
the
program.
A
total
of
304
facilities
are
current
members
of
this
voluntary
program.
Environmental
Performance
Track
members
are
also
required
to
submit
an
annual
performance
report
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.
The
public
reporting
elements
of
the
program
also
provide
information
to
the
local
community.
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,
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
268
hours
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;
train
personnel
to
be

Abstract:
The
EPA
Emissions
Factor
Program,
through
contractors,
solicits
the
general
public
to
voluntarily
offer
their
vehicle
for
emissions
testing.
There
are
two
methods
used
to
solicit
the
general
public
for
participation
in
Emission
Factor
Program
(
EFP):
1.
Postal
cards
are
sent
to
a
random
selection
of
vehicle
owners
using
State
motor
vehicle
registration
lists;
and
2.
A
random
selection
of
motor
vehicle
owners,
who
arrive
at
State
inspection
stations
on
an
annual
or
biennial
schedule,
are
solicited.
The
legislative
basis
for
the
Emission
Factors
Program
is
section
103(
a)(
1)(
2)(
3)
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
which
requires
the
Administrator
to
``
conduct
*
*
*
research,
investigations,
experiments,
demonstrations,
surveys,
and
studies
relating
to
the
causes,
effects,
extent,
prevention,
and
control
of
air
pollution''
and
``
conduct
investigations
and
research
and
make
surveys
concerning
any
specific
problem
of
air

in
cooperation
with
any
