aspects of the proposed information collection as described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 23, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OA-

Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://
www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site

technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public
docket visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/

What Information Is EPA Particularly Interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:

    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
all recipients of EPA financial assistance agreements, and any entities
receiving identified loans under a financial assistance agreement
capitalizing a revolving loan fund.
    Title: MBE/WBE Utilization Under Federal Grants, Cooperative
Agreements, and Interagency Agreements (Renewal)
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2212.03, OMB Control No. 2090-0025.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on October
31, 2009. 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, 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: All EPA financial assistance agreement recipients are
required to make good faith efforts to assure that small, minority and
women owned businesses are used, when possible, as sources of
construction, services, equipment, and supplies. The completion and
submission of EPA Form 5700-52A is mandatory. The information collected
by EPA Form 5700-52A is used to compile data concerning the utilization
of minority and women owned businesses as contractors under
procurements funded by EPA financial assistance agreements pursuant to
Executive Orders 11625, 12138, and 12432, and Public Laws 101-507 and
102-389. The effectiveness of EPA's MBE/WBE Program is measured through
this reporting requirement.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one
(1) 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.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:

    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 3600
    Frequency of response: Depending on the type of financial
assistance received, respondents either report on an annual,
semiannual, or quarterly basis.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
3600.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 3600 (one burden hour per
respondent).
    Estimated total annual costs: $146,916. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $146,916, and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval?

    There is no change in the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB.

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. At that time, 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. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Dated: September 16, 2009.

Deputy Director, Office of Small Business Programs.
