This collection
is approved in part and disapproved in part. EPA is approved to
collect registration information and to conduct the requested
student survey and teacher survey. These portions of the collection
are approved for two years, until November 2003. OMB understands
that EPA no longer intends to collect information under the Parent
Survey and the School Administrator Survey. These two surveys are
not approved. OMB has adjusted the burden of the collection
accordingly from EPA's request. As discussed in Part B of the
revised supporting statement, EPA plans to assess two sampling
issues in Fall 2002 based on results from the first year of the
student survey: (1) whether it is necessary to include in the
sampling protocol an approach to stratify between warm and cool
states, and (2) whether it is necessary to include an additional
sampling stage to sample classrooms within a school that has been
selected for participation. EPA should report to OMB its findings
with regard to these issues before beginning the second year of
sampling, and advise OMB whether it intends in the second year of
the collection to (1) stratify between warm and cool states in the
first stage of sampling, and/or (2) add a sampling stage to sample
classrooms within a selected school. OMB also notes that EPA must
include the OMB number, expiration date, and Paperwork Reduction
Act notice on the teacher survey before using that instrument to
collect information.

The goal of the Sun Wise School
Program is to teach children and their givers how to protect

education program where the ultimate goal is to reduce risk and
