ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES

 

Proposed Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB

AGENCY: Administrative Conference of the United States.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administrative Conference of the United States has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval a 
proposed version of an interview protocol to be used in an evaluation 
of the Environmental Protection Agency's negotiated rulemaking program. 
Potential interviewees include participants in selected negotiated 
rulemaking processes and selected rulemakings undertaken under 
conventional rulemaking processes.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received by January 17, 
1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to Nancy G. Miller, Senior Attorney, 
Administrative Conference of the United States, 2120 L Street, NW, 
Suite 500, Washington DC 20037. Comments should also be sent to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention: 
Jefferson Hill, Desk Officer for Administrative Conference of the 
United States, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy G. Miller, Senior Attorney, 
Administrative Conference of the United States, 2120 L Street, NW, 
Suite 500, Washington DC 20037, (202) 254-7020. A copy of the 
Administrative Conference's request from OMB, including the proposed 
interview protocol, can be obtained from Ms. Miller.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Conference of the United 
States is sponsoring an evaluation of the use of negotiated rulemaking 
at the Environmental Protection Agency. A portion of the evaluation 
involves use of an interview protocol to gather information from 
participants in several of EPA's negotiated rulemakings, which will be 
compared to information gathered from participants in several 
rulemakings that EPA conducted using conventional rulemaking 
procedures. Interviewees will be drawn from samples of participants, 
including agency personnel, the regulated communities, state and local 
governments and others who participated in the rulemaking processes. 
The total burden is estimated to be 400 hours. The average burden per 
respondent is expected to be one hour, and will occur only once. It is 
expected that there will be approximately 400 respondents. The 
Administrative Conference has asked the OMB for expedited review of 
this request.
