    Abstract: The purpose of this information collection request is to 
collect information from applicants in order to select recipients for 
the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators program. 
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency), in 
conjunction with the White House Council on Environmental Quality 
(CEQ), established the award program to meet the requirements of 
Section 8(e) of the National Environmental Education Act (20 U.S.C. 
5507(e)).
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: K-12 teachers who teach on a full-
time basis in a public school that is operated by a local education 
agency, including schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. For 
this program, a local education agency is one as defined by section 198 
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (now codified at 
20 U.S.C. 7801(26)).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain information 
from the applicants for Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental 
Educators and assess certain aspects of the PIAEE program as 
established under Section 8(e) of the National Environmental Education 
Act (20 U.S.C. 5507(e)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 75 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually.
    Total estimated burden: 10 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $28,500 (per year) for 75 applicants, 
includes $17,100 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: We expect that after adjusting the burden 
numbers that the burden numbers will substantially stay the same. 
Program requirements are expected to stay the same and the estimates 
currently take into account the use of technology to complete the 
application.

    Dated: July 24, 2015.

Associate Administrator, Office of Public Engagement and Environmental 
Education.
