personnel are operating and maintaining 

control equipment properly. The NSPS 

for HMIWIs requires initial 

notifications, performance tests, and 

periodic reports. Owners or operators 

are also required to maintain records of 

the occurrence and duration of any 

start-up, shutdown, or malfunction in 

the operation of an affected facility, or 

any period during which the monitoring 

system is inoperative. These 

notifications, reports, and records are 

essential in determining compliance 

and are required of all sources subject 

to NSPS. 

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 are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 

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 are 

estimated to average 145 hours per 

response. Burdens 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:

Facilities burning hospital waste and/or 

medical infectious waste. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 7. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

annually, semiannually, on occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

4,795 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$327,929, which includes $2,000 

annualized capital/startup costs, 

$20,000 annual O&M costs, and 

$305,929 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of two hundred and fifty-four 

hours in the total estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. 

This is primarily due to an increase in 

the number of sources.

ICR Title: Certification of Pesticide 

Applicators 

ICR Status: This is a request for 

extension of an existing approved 

collection that is currently scheduled to 

expire on October 31, 2004. EPA is 

asking OMB to approve this ICR for 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 196 / Tuesday, October 12, 2004 / Notices 60625

three years. Under 5 CFR 1320.12(b)(2), 

the Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while the submission is pending at 

OMB. 

Abstract: FIFRA allows the EPA to 

classify a pesticide as ‘‘restricted use’’ if 

the pesticide meets certain toxicity or 

risk criteria. Restricted use pesticides, 

because of their potential to harm 

human health or the environment, may 

be applied only by a certified applicator 

or by a person under the direct 

supervision of a certified applicator. A 

person must meet certain standards of 

competency to become a certified 

applicator. States can be delegated the 

certified applicator program, but it must 

be approved by the Agency before it can 

be implemented. In non-participating 

entities, EPA administers the 

certification program. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

that is subject to approval under the 

PRA, unless it displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s information 

collections appear on the collection 

instruments or instructions, in the 

Federal Register notices for related 

rulemakings and ICR notices, and, if the 

collection is contained in a regulation, 

in a table of OMB approval numbers in 

40 CFR part 9. 

Burden Statement: The annual 

‘‘respondent’’ burden for this ICR is 

estimated to be 4,412 hours. According 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 

‘‘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. For this collection, it is 

the time reading the regulations, 

planning the necessary data collection 

activities, conducting tests, analyzing 

data, generating reports and completing 

other required paperwork, and storing, 

filing, and maintaining the data. The 

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 number for 

this information collection appear at the 

beginning and the end of this document. 

In addition OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations, after initial display in 

the final rule, are listed in 40 CFR part 

9. 

The following is a summary of the 

burden estimates taken from the ICR: 

Respondents/affected entities: You 

may be affected by this action if you run 

an EPA approved certified pesticide 

applicator program for restricted use 

pesticides or are a certified pesticide 

applicator using restricted use 

pesticides that must comply with 

requirements of Section 11 of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act and 40 CFR part 171. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 424,398. 

Frequency of response: As needed or 

annually, depending on the category of 

respondent. 

Estimated total/average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1–3. 

Estimated total annual burden hours:

1,311,368. 

Estimated total annual costs:

$25,108,623. 

Changes in the ICR since the last 

approval:

The estimated paperwork burden has 

increased slightly from 1,285,865 to 

1,311,368 hours due to an expected 

increase in the number of certified 

commercial applicators participating in 

the EPA-administered program. EPA 

will begin administering a private 

applicator program in the Navajo Indian 

Country within the next 3 years, thus 

increasing the number of applicators 

subject to the information collection 

activities. The cost burden has risen as 

well, primarily as a result of inflation 

from $21,456,058 to $25,108,623.
