(EPA)and the U.S. Department of Transportation

(DOT)to employers that offer superior commuter benefits to their employees. EPA is partnering with a variety of national, state, regional, and local organizations to challenge U.S. employers to meet a National Standard of Excellence in commuter benefits and to recognize those that do as “Best Workplaces for Commuters.” The program highlights the environmental and congestion relief benefits along with the potential financial benefits of offering employee commuter benefits, such as improved recruiting and retention, tax savings, and other cost savings. EPA works to gain public recognition for companies recognized as Best Workplaces for Commuters and provides networking, opportunities training, web-based tools, and one-on-one assistance for its partners. Employers wishing to join BWC are asked to submit the BWC Application documenting their intent to provide such benefits, to submit an Annual Check-in Form confirming their continued participation and updating contact information, and to disseminate a Employee Survey when they are randomly selected by EPA. This data will enable EPA to better understand commuting habits, to provide support for and recognize BWC Employers, and to monitor and measure the success of BWC. All data collection is voluntary and will be done electronically or by fax except where a participant doesn't have access. No personal information will be collected, and all data will be aggregated for analysis. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.5 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Work Site contacts of voluntarily participating BWC Employers, BWC employees at Work Sites randomly selected for annual survey, and members of the year's control group. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 52,566. *Frequency of Response:* Annually. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 24,052. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,284,142, includes $1,064 annualized O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: This is a new information collection, and, as such, this section does not apply. Dated: July 9, 2004. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc. 04-16209 Filed 7-15-04; 8:45 am]
