SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. What information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Title: Pesticide Registration Fees 

Program. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2330.02. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0179. 

ICR status: This is a renewal for a 

currently approved ICR. This ICR is 

currently scheduled to expire on 

February 28, 2014. 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 title 40 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

are displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Pesticide registrants are 

required by statute to pay an annual 

registration maintenance fee for all 

products registered under Sections 3 

and 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 

In addition, the Pesticide Registration 

Improvement Act (PRIA) amended 

FIFRA in 2004 to create a registration 

service fee system for applications for 

specific pesticide registration, amended 

registration, and associated tolerance 

actions (Section 33). This ICR 

specifically covers the activities related 

to the collection of the annual 

registration maintenance fees, the 

registration service fees and the burden 

associated with the submission of 

requests for fees to be waived. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.14 hours per 

respondent for the Pesticide Product 

Registration Maintenance Fee Program 

and 12, 27, and 37 hours per response 

for the three different types of 

applications for Pesticide Registration 

Service Fee Waivers. Burden is defined 

in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 1744. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1744. 

Frequency of response: Annual and 

on occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.14 for 

Pesticide Product Maintenance fees and 

a range from 12–37 hours for the types 

of Pesticide Registration Service Fee 

Waivers. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

7,907 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$535,728 for both programs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

The total annual respondent burden 

increased by 342 hours for the Pesticide 

Product Maintenance fees program and 

also increased 303 hours for the 

Pesticide Registration Service Fee 

waivers compared with that identified 

in the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This increase reflects a slight increase in 

the number of requests submitted to the 

agency. This change is an adjustment. 

IV. What is the next step in the process 

for this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 19, 2013 / Notices 36775 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any

process, please contact the person listed

Title: NESHAP for Halogenated 

Solvent Cleaners/Halogenated 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (Renewal) 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1652.08, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0273 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on June 30, 2013. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

either conduct or sponsor the collection 

of information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, 

and any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart T. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must submit initial 

notification, performance tests, and 

periodic reports and results. Owners or 

operators are also required to maintain 

records of the occurrence and duration 

of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. Reports are required 

semiannually at a minimum. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Halogenated solvent cleaners. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,431. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, quarterly, semiannually, 

and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

45,242. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$5,395,561, which includes $4,380,761 

in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, 

and $1,014,800 in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

apparent increase in burden hours for 

the respondent and the Agency as 

compared to the previous ICR due to 

burden calculation revisions. The 

calculations presented in the previous 

ICR assumed that total respondent hours 

per year associated with each burden 

item included technical, managerial, 

and clerical labor. The previous ICR 

calculated technical, managerial, and 

clerical labor hours as being 85, 5, and 

10 percent, respectively, of the total 

hours. To be consistent with the 

estimation methodology used in other 

ICRs, this ICR considers total 

respondent hours to include only 

technical labor, and that managerial and 

clerical hours account for an additional 

5 and 10 percent, respectively, of those 

technical labor hours. Additionally, 

there is an adjustment increase in the 

respondent labor estimates associated 

with semiannual and quarterly 

reporting. The previous ICR estimated 

labor burdens for one semiannual report 

and three quarterly reports per year. We 

have revised the calculations to account
