Abstract:
The purpose of this information collection request is to collect information from applicants to select recipients for the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators program. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 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)). Teachers can participate by completing and submitting the application form. Information collected includes background about the teacher and his/her experience, completed essay responses, sample teaching materials, and recommendations from a student, principal, and fellow teacher. The information collected under this ICR will continuously help EPA and CEQ to select the top awardees for the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators (PIAEE). The selected winners will benefit from small cash prizes, which will help them to continue their mission of advancing innovative approaches to environmental education to grades K-12.

Short Statement:
On October 7, 2019, a Federal Register notice (84 FR 53438) was published announcing the addition of the PEYA program to this ICR. However, due to an administrative error, the revision package was not submitted to OMB for approval, which was recently discovered as this ICR renewal was being finalized. The EPA is seeking to rectify this by including the PEYA application in this ICR. The total burden has increased by 2,475 hours as a result of PEYA being included in this ICR. The individual cost per respondent for internal processing has also risen, due to increases in labor rate estimates.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$270,217
