This ICR renewal will cover the information collection activities associated with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for individuals, firms and state and local government entities conducting lead-based paint activities or renovations of target housing and child-occupied facilities; training providers; and states/territories/tribes/Alaskan native villages.
There is an increase of 1,039,040 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB of 5,251,320 hours. This increase reflects adjustments in EPAs estimates of the burden. Several adjustments to the estimates were made, including revisions to the estimated number of respondents based on the number of respondents reporting to EPA for the prior information collection and revisions based on other market factors. Changes in burden estimates reflect changes within the housing renovation market, as measured by EPAs FLPP database, which tracks LBP and RRP activity over time, as reported to the Agency.
There is an increase of $2,108,994 in the total cost burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB of $15,291,562. The difference between the current cost burden request and the previously approved requests are due to adjustments in EPAs estimates of the respondent burden and updates to wage rates and material costs that were revised to reflect 2022 dollars for this information collection request, and adjustments for inflation.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
