Short Statement: Since the last clearance, EPA has made the following changes to the WasteWise program that affect information collection activities: Changes in Wage Rates: EPA changed the burden costs for private respondents to reflect the updated rates in the May 2009 Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor. EPA also changed the burden costs to state, local and federal respondents, as well as the Agency to reflect the 2015 GS rates. This only impacted burden costs; it did not impact burden hours; and Variation in Number of Participants: For this ICR, the Agency updated the Partner numbers to reflect current WasteWise membership trends. EPA expects that 50 new active Partners will join and report as active Partners during each year covered by this ICR. Additionally, EPA expects the WasteWise program to bring in 10 new active reporting Endorsers each year. Active members include Partners and Endorsers that register and report.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $414,117
