    Title: The SunWise Program.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1904.03, OMB Control No. 2060-0439.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on 9/30/2007. Under OMB 
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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, 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: The goal of the SunWise School Program is to teach 
children and their caregivers how to protect themselves from 
overexposure to the sun. The SunWise Program recognizes the challenge 
of measuring the progress and evaluating the effectiveness of an 
environmental and public health education program where the ultimate 
goal is to reduce risk and improve public health. Therefore, the 
continual and careful evaluation of program effectiveness through a 
variety of means, including data from pre- and post-intervention 
surveys, tracking and monitoring of classroom activities and school 
policies, and advisory board meetings, is necessary to monitor progress 
and refine the program. Surveys to be developed and administered 
include: (1) Student survey to identify current sun safety knowledge 
and behaviors among students; and (2) teacher questionnaire for 
measuring their receptivity to the educational component of the 
Program. The data will be analyzed and results will indicate the 
Program's effect on participants' sun-protection attitudes and 
behaviors. Additionally, information is collected when educators sign 
up to receive a Tool Kit either on the Web or in person, and when 
individuals participate in an on-line sun safety tutorial/certification 
program. Responses to the collection of information are voluntary. All 
responses to the collection of information remain anonymous and 
confidential.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average .33 
hours per response for the survey, .17 hours per response for the 
registration, and .04 hours per response for the tutorial/
certification. 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 which 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.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, 
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Individuals.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,600.
    Frequency of Response: Occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1965.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $74,898 in labor costs, and no 
annualized capital and O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an annual increase of 132 hours 
in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to additional questions 
that were added to the tutorial/certification program, and revised 
estimates based on inflation, contractor costs, and increased numbers 
of registrations.

    Dated: September 14, 2007.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
