OMB concurs with the agency request that the burden hours reflect the three-year approval of the generic ICR replacing the annualized burden of 1359 hours per year to the total burden hours of 4078 hours over 3 years. Previously specified terms of clearance on the generic ICR still apply.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking approval for a generic information collection request (ICR) for the conduct of focus groups and one-on-one interviews related to survey development for economics projects. Focus groups are groups of individuals brought together for moderated discussions on a specific topic or issue. These groups are typically formed to gain insight and understanding of attitudes and perceptions held by the public surrounding a particular issue. One-on-one interviews, as the term implies, are individual interviews in which a respondent is generally asked to review materials and provide feedback on their content and design as well as the thought processes that the materials invoke.

The previous renewal for this generic ICR requested a total burden of 4,078 hours over the three-year approval period in the supporting statement, however EPA erred when entering the data in the ROCIS system, requesting only the annualized burden of 1,359 hours (as is done with non-generic ICRs). Since generic ICRs approve burden based on three years, EPA requests that the approved burden in ROCIS be corrected to reflect what was contained in the original ICR.
