SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has submitted the following ICR to OMB 
for review and approval according to the procedures prescribed in 5 CFR 
1320.12. On September 3, 2010 (75 FR 54143), EPA sought comments on 
this ICR pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA received one comment. Since 
EPA coordinates with other federal and non-federal entities working to 
prevent skin cancer and other health effects from overexposure to the 
sun, and both Congress and EPA allocate funding for the program, no 
further justification for the comment is needed. Any additional 
comments on this ICR should be submitted to EPA and OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.
    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID 
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0069, which is available for online viewing at 
http://www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the Air Docket in 
the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution

    Title: The SunWise Program (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1904.06, OMB Control No. 2060-0439.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on 2/28/2011. 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, and 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 consultation with experts, is necessary to monitor 
progress and refine the program. Surveys to be developed and 
administered include: (1) Teacher questionnaire for measuring their and 
their students' receptivity to the educational component of the 
Program; (2) Teacher individual interview component soliciting more 
information about the program and the development of a recognition and 
incentives program; (3) Don't Fry Day pledge asking educators to pledge 
to incorporate sun safety into their spring and summer activities; (4) 
Online interactive SunWise Sun Safety Certification Program enabling 
students, adults, organizations, and employers to develop credentials 
on sun safety awareness and behaviors; and (5) Partner pilot 
questionnaire for measuring their and their audience's 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, and will help guide the program's 
further improvement. 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 
confidential, and where appropriate anonymous.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average less 
than one hour 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 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Elementary and middle school 
students, parents, and educators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,960.
    Frequency of Response: annual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,615 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $100,172, which includes no annualized 
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 195 hours annually 
in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved ICR Burdens. More hours were added for teachers 
participating in an individual interview. Hours were subtracted for 
teachers administering the student survey. Hours were added for 
teachers participating in the Don't Fry Day pledge. Hours and burden 
for educators is about the same; hours for students has also decreased 
significantly. The bottom line burden hours increased along with the 
total cost.
