    Title: Radon Measurement Protocol Evaluation Study (EPA ICR 
#1703.01). This ICR requests approval of a new collection.
    Abstract: A statistically valid sample of homeowners who 
participated in the National Residential Radon Survey will be selected 
to participate in a follow-up study to measure year-long household 
exposure to radon. The EPA will use the results to validate the 
mathematical model used in preparing public information documents on 
radon such as the Citizen's Guide to Radon and the Home Buyer's and 
Seller's Guide to Radon. In addition, the results will be available in 
the Agency's national radon database and will be used in articles for 
publication in scientific journals.
    Homeowners will place radon detectors in specified locations in 
their homes, replace them quarterly for a year, and prepare a log of 
placement/replacement dates and times. EPA labs and contractors will 
analyze the detectors and provide homeowners with the results.
    Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 5 hours per response, including 
time for reviewing instructions, gathering the data needed, and 
completing the collection of information. There is no public 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information.
    Respondents: Homeowners.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1200.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 6350 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: quarterly.
