estimates
of
the
burdens
of
the
proposed
collections
of
information.

are
to
respond,
including
through
the

automated
or
electronic
collection
technologies
or
other
forms
of
information
technology,
e.
g.,
permitting
electronic
submission
of
responses.

comments
on
the
following
ICR:
Title:
Reporting
and
Recordkeeping

under
EPA's
Hospitals
for
a
Healthy
Environment
(H2E)
Program.
ICR

ICR
status:
This
ICR
is
a
new
proposed
information
collection
that
has
not
been
approved
by
OMB.
An
Agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required

to
a
collection
of
information
that
is
subject
to
approval
under
PRA,
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The
OMB
control
numbers
for
EPA's
information
collections
appear
on
the
collection
instruments
or
instructions,
in
the
Federal
Register
notices
for
related
rulemakings
and
ICR
notices,
and,

Abstract:
The
Hospitals
for
a
Healthy
Environment
(H2E)
program
is
a
voluntary
partnership
program
jointly
administered
by
EPA
and
the
American
Hospital
Association
(AHA)
that
helps
hospitals
enhance
work
place
safety,
reduce
waste
and
waste
disposal
costs,
and
become
better
environmental
stewards
and
neighbors.
The
program
is
based
on
a
1998
Memorandum
of
Understanding
signed
by
AHA
and
EPA
to
provide
health
care
professionals
with
the
tools
and
information
necessary
to
reduce
mercury
waste,
reduce
the
overall
volume
of
waste,
and
identify
pollution
prevention
opportunities.
The
H2E
program
has
two
elements,
the
Partners
for
Change
Program
and
the
Champions
for
Change
Program.
The
Partners
for
Change
Program
recognizes
health
care
facilities
that
pledge
support
to
the
H2E
mission
and
develop
goals
for
reducing
waste
and
mercury
in
their
own
facilities.
The
Champions
for
Change
Program
recognizes
organizations
that
encourage
and
aid
health
care
facilities
to
participate
as
H2E
partners,
provide
on­
going
promotional
or
technical
assistance
information,
or
make
changes
that
support
the
goals
of
the
H2E
program
in
their
own
institutions.
An
organization's
decision
to
participate
in
the
H2E
program
is
completely
voluntary.
This
information
collection
addresses
reporting
and
recordkeeping
activities
that
support
the
administration
of
the
H2E
program.
Responses
to
the
collection
of
information
are
voluntary.
Respondents
may
claim
all
or
part
of
a
notice
confidential.
EPA
will
disclose
information
that
is
covered
by
a
claim
of
confidentiality
only
to
the
extent
permitted
by,
and
in
accordance
with,
the
procedures
in
TSCA
section
14
and
40
CFR
part
2.

V.
What
are
EPA's
Burden
and
Cost
Estimates

PRA,

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.
For
this
collection
it
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.
The
ICR
provides
a
detailed
explanation
of
this
estimate,
which
is
only
briefly
summarized
in
this
notice.
The
annual
public
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
range
between
0.5
and
20
hours
per
response,
depending
upon
the
type
of
information
the
respondent
provides.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
estimates
taken
from
the
ICR:
Respondents/
affected
entities:
550.
Frequency
of
response:
Annually.
Estimated
average
number
of
responses
for
each
respondent:
1.
Estimated
total
annual
burden
hours:
10,110.
Estimated
total
annual
burden
costs:
$343,765.

VI.
Are
There
Changes
in
the
Estimates
from
the
Last
Approval?

No.
This
is
a
new
proposed
ICR.

VII.
What
is
the
Next
Step
in
the
Process
for
this
ICR?

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
pursuant
to
5
CFR
1320.12.
EPA
will
issue
another
Federal
Register
notice
pursuant
to
5
CFR
1320.5(
a)(
1)(
iv)
to
announce
the
submission
of
the
ICR
to
OMB
and
the
opportunity
to
submit
additional
comments
to
OMB.
