566-1744. For additional information about EPA's

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity.
    Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 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 for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 
part 9.
    Abstract: This ICR documents the Paperwork burden of the electronic 
collection of information for the pre-award burden activity for 
creating a work plan and the post-award and after-the-grant award 
activities related to reporting accomplishments to implement EPA's 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) State and 
Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) program (7 U.S.C. 136u). This ICR 
augments the ICR entitled ``EPA's General Regulation for Assistance 
Programs ICR'' (EPA No. 0938.18; OMB No. 2030-0020) which accounts for 
the current PRA burden for the minimum management requirements for all 
recipients of EPA grants or cooperative agreements (assistance 
agreements). This new ICR provides OMB the burden assessment for 
collecting the same information in a different standardized electronic 
format for only the STAG grant program.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: State, local governments, tribes and 
U.S. territories. Entities potentially affected by this ICR are 
grantees of Federal funds participating in the FIFRA and STAG program.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (7 U.S.C. 136u and 40 
CFR parts 30 and 31).
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 81.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total burden: 6,318 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Estimated total costs: $233,280 (per year), includes no annualized 
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: This is a new ICR. Relative to the 
baseline annual burden for reporting general management grant reporting 
requirements approved under EPA ICR No. 0938.18; OMB No. 2030-0020, the 
overall annual burden increase for FIFRA program specific activities is 
6,318 hours, or 78 hours per respondent annually. This change documents 
the incremental burden for reporting FIFRA grant program specific 
activities (e.g., 5,700 environmental enforcement and endangered 
species activities) and provides conservative projection for program 
growth. This is a program change.
