This ICR is approved under 5 CFR 1320. The Supporting Statement states that the primary goals of the survey are to "[p]robe current SERC, LEPC, and CUPA practices and preferences regarding several important sets of issues...; [e]nable Region IX to facilitate the transfer of information on successful local program implementation to other local agencies; and [o]btain information essential to Region IX's decisions regarding the expenditures of federal program resources, including federal staff, contractors, training, enforcement and grants." EPA must not use the information collected for direct enforcement actions against SERCs or other local agencies that respond to the survey, which is strictly voluntary in nature and does not espouse such an enforcement purpose. This ICR is for a one-time collection. Given that EPA intends to use the results at a January 2000 conference, OMB has authorized data collection through April 2000, to allow for the possibility of delays. Followup collections will require new ICR submissions.
