This ICR is
approved. Because of the innovative nature of the pilot projects,
the data gathered through this ICR are not suitable to produce any
estimates of performance or benefits that can be applied to
projects or situations outside the pilot projects. Before
submitting an ICR renewal, EPA must identify the remaining projects
and any associated burden relating to Project XL.

This is an information collection
request renewal that will allow for the continued solicitation of
proposals for innovative pilot projects and to allow EPA to
continue its commitments to monitor the results of previous and
ongoing pilot tests of regulatory innovation. The renewal of this
ICR is important as it will allow the Agency to measure performance
outcomes of regulatory innovation piloting and to assess the
broader applicability of those pilot projects. The ICR is also
necessary to allow EPA to identify State and Tribal co-regulators
as well as additional regulated entities who are interested in
partnering with EPA in innovative pilot projects, allowing the
Agency to continue its commitment to innovation and regulatory
flexibility with facilities, communities, and states in achieving
environmental results. The renewal of this ICR will allow OEPI to
continue to receive and work with project sponsors on proposals for
innovation.
This difference is largely a
result of the requirement to collect information sufficient to
provide measurement of beneficial outcomes in projects funded by
EPA cooperative agreements to states that support pilot projects
under EPA's State Innovation Grant Program to test regulatory
innovation by state environmental agencies.
