Availability of Meeting Materials 

Prior to the public portion of the

Procedures for Providing Public Input 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to the EPA. 

Interested members of the public may 

submit relevant information on the topic 

of the public portion of this advisory 

activity, and/or the group conducting 

the activity, for the SAB to consider 

during the advisory process. Input from 

the public to the SAB will have the most 

impact if it provides specific scientific 

or technical information or analysis for 

SAB committees and panels to consider 

or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy 

of the technical information. Members 

of the public wishing to provide 

comment should contact the DFO 

directly. Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at an SAB public meeting 

will be limited to five minutes. 

Interested parties wishing to provide 

comments at the July 10, 2015 STAA 

Committee public meeting should 

contact Mr. Hanlon, DFO, in writing 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by July 2, 2015, 

to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the public portion of the 

meeting. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements will be accepted throughout 

the advisory process; however, for 

timely consideration by Committee 

members, statements should be 

supplied to Mr. Hanlon, DFO 

(preferably via email) at the contact 

information noted above by July 2, 2015. 

It is the SAB Staff Office general policy 

to post written comments on the Web 

page for advisory meetings. Submitters 

are requested to provide an unsigned 

version of each document because the 

SAB Staff Office does not publish 

documents with signatures on its Web 

sites. Members of the public should be 

aware that their personal contact 

information, if included in any written 

comments, may be posted to the SAB 

Web site. Copyrighted material will not 

be posted without explicit permission of 

the copyright holder. 

Accessibility 

For information on access or services 

for individuals with disabilities, please 

contact Mr. Hanlon at the contact 

information provided above. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Mr. Hanlon preferably at least 

ten days prior to the meeting to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.

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: Application for New and 

Amended Pesticide Registration. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 0277.17. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0060. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on February 29, 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
34154 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 114 / Monday, June 15, 2015 / Notices 

2016. 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: This ICR renewal will allow 

EPA to collect necessary data to 

evaluate an application of a pesticide 

product as required under section 3 of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), as amended by the Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 

August 3, 1996. Under FIFRA, EPA 

must evaluate pesticides thoroughly 

before they can be marketed and used in 

the United States, to ensure that they 

will not pose unreasonable adverse 

effects to human health and the 

environment. Pesticides that meet this 

test are granted a license or 

‘‘registration’’ which permits their 

distribution, sale and use according to 

requirements set by EPA to protect 

human health and the environment. 

The producer of the pesticide must 

provide data from tests done according 

to EPA guidelines or other test methods 

that provide acceptable data. These tests 

must determine whether a pesticide has 

the potential to cause adverse effects on 

humans, wildlife, fish and plants, 

including endangered species and nontarget organisms, as well as possible 

contamination of surface water or 

groundwater from leaching, runoff and 

spray drift. EPA also must approve the 

language that appears on each pesticide 

label. A pesticide product can only be 

used according to the directions on the 

labeling accompanying it at the time of 

sale, through its use and disposal. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

152). 

Respondents may claim all or part of 

a notice as CBI. EPA will disclose 

information that is covered by a CBI 

claim only to the extent permitted by, 

and in accordance with, the procedures 

in 40 CFR part 2. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to range from 14 hours to 646 

hours per response for registration 

application activities, and from 520 

hours to 45,000 hours per response for 

activities associated with data 

generation. 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: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are individuals or entities engaged in 

activities related to the registration of 

pesticide products. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1,751. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

1,524,893 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$108,720,767. This includes an 

estimated burden cost of $12,471,401 for 

the pesticide application process, 

$96,249,367 for data generation, and no 

cost for capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

Overall, there is a difference of 

1,356,689 hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with that 

identified in the current ICR approved 

by OMB. This change reflects EPA’s 

updating of the methodology used to 

estimate the paperwork burden, and 

including a previously unaccounted for 

burden for study data generation. 

However, there is a decrease of 

approximately 23,000 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden for the 

registration application process 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects EPA’s receipt of fewer 

number of applications. 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 

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 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
