77820 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 14, 2011 / Notices 

used by CBP. In addition, EPA is 

capturing the burden of providing 

supplemental information submitted 

with Form 3540–1 to the Agency by 

most importers on a voluntary basis. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.43 hours per 

response. The ICR, a copy of which is 

available in the docket, provides a 

detailed explanation of this estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 28,000. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

12,040 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$685,146. This is the estimated burden 

cost; there is no cost for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs in this information 

collection. 

Changes in the estimates from the last 

approval: The renewal of this ICR will 

result in an overall increase of 4,540 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden identified in the currently 

approved ICR. This increase is a result 

of an increase in the annual number of 

NOAs submitted and an increase in the 

burden hours per response. The annual 

number of NOAs submitted to EPA 

increased from 25,000 to 28,000. The 

average burden hours per response will 

change from 0.3 hours for the previous 

ICR renewal to 0.43 hours for this ICR 

renewal. This change in burden hours 

per response is a result of changes to the 

data items on Form 3450–1, as well as 

an accounting of the burden of 

voluntarily submitting certain 

information. Specifically, this burden 

estimate accounts for the new burdens 

related to providing information for the 

telephone numbers and email addresses 

of the shipper, importer of record, 

licensed broker, and ultimate consignee 

when supplying name and address 

information, and that the complete 

address, including telephone and email 

address, of the carrier be provided. In 

addition, EPA is accounting for the 

burden of voluntarily providing active 

ingredients and percentage of each, 

supporting documentation for registered 

and unregistered pesticides, as well as 

intended use information for 

unregistered pesticides. This change is 

an adjustment. 

C. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2011–0886 

Title: Application for New and 

Amended Pesticide Registration. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0277.16, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0060. 

ICR status: The approval for this ICR 

is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this ICR are individuals or 

entities engaged in activities related to 

the registration of pesticide products. 

The NAICS code assigned to the entities 

responding to this information is 

325300 (pesticide and other agricultural 

and chemical manufacturing). 

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 

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. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to range from 14 hours to 840 

hours, depending upon the type of 

response. The ICR, a copy of which is 

available in the docket, provides a 

detailed explanation of this estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1,758. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

55,412 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$4,101,100. This is the estimated burden 

cost; there is no cost for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs in this information 

collection. 

Changes in the estimates from the last 

approval: The renewal of this ICR will 

result in an overall decrease of 20,768 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden identified in the currently 

approved ICR. This decrease reflects 

fewer expected responses across all 

response types. The reduction in EPA’s 

response estimate is primarily from a 

reduction in ‘‘Type B’’ activities, which 

include amendments and notifications, 

in the Antimicrobial Division. Based on 

experience over the past three years, the 

Agency has reduced the number of 

responses to reflect estimates closer to 

actual number of responses. In addition, 

due to some industry consolidation and 

based on registration maintenance fee 

data, EPA has identified 42 fewer ICR 

respondents. This change is an 

adjustment. 

V. What is the Next Step in the Process 

for these ICRs? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the individual ICRs 

as appropriate. The final ICR packages 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

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

submission of these ICRs to OMB and 

the opportunity for the public to submit 

additional comments for OMB 

consideration. If you have any questions 

about any of these ICRs or the approval 

process in general, please contact the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

How can I access the docket and/or 

submit comments? 

The EPA has established a public 

docket for the Part 70 ICR renewal 

under Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR– 

2004–0015 and a public docket for the 

Part 71 ICR renewal under Docket ID 

No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2004–0016, which 

are available for online viewing at 

http://www.regulations.gov, or in person 

viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket 

in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), 

EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC The EPA/DC Public Reading Room 

is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The telephone number for the 

Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744. 

Use http://www.regulations.gov to 

obtain a copy of the draft collection of 

information, submit or view public 

comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the docket and access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

What information is the EPA 

particularly interested in? 

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

the PRA, the EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

(i) 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; 

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) 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, the EPA is requesting 

comments from very small businesses 

(those that employ less than 25) on 

examples of specific additional efforts 

that the EPA could make to reduce the 

paperwork burden for very small 

businesses affected by this collection. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by the 

EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID 

number assigned to this action in the 

subject line on the first page of your 

response. You may also provide the 

name, date, and Federal Register 

citation. 

What information collection activity 

does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are those which 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

77822 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 14, 2011 / Notices 

must apply for and obtain an operating 

permit under title V of the Clean Air Act 

(Act). These, in general, include sources 

which are defined as ‘‘major’’ under any 

title of the Act. 

Title: Part 70 State Operating Permit 

Program (Renewal) and Part 71 Federal 

Operating Permit Program (Renewal). 

ICR number: For the Part 70 

regulations, EPA ICR No. 1587.12 and 

OMB Control No. 2060–0243. For the 

Part 71 regulations, EPA ICR No. 

1713.10 and OMB Control No. 2060– 

0336. 

ICR status: The two ICRs are both 

scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012. 

Abstract: Title V of the Act requires 

states to develop and implement a 

program for issuing operating permits to 

all sources that fall under any Act 

definition of ‘‘major’’ and certain other 

non-major sources that are subject to 

federal air quality regulations. The Act 

further requires the EPA to develop 

regulations that establish the minimum 

requirements for those state operating 

permits programs, to oversee 

implementation of the state programs, 

and to operate a federal operating 

permits program in areas not subject to 

an approved state program. An agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information request unless 

it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for the EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 

CFR chapter 15. The EPA regulations 

setting forth requirements for the state 

operating permit program are at 40 CFR 

part 70 and the EPA regulations setting 

forth the requirements for the federal 

(EPA) operating permit program are at 

40 CFR part 71. The part 70 program is 

designed to be implemented primarily 

by state and local permitting authorities 

in all areas where they have 

jurisdiction. The part 71 program is 

designed to be implemented primarily 

by the EPA in all areas where state and 

local agencies do not have jurisdiction, 

such as Indian Country and offshore 

beyond states’ seaward boundaries. 

In order to receive an operating 

permit for a major or other source 

subject to either of the permitting 

programs, the applicant must conduct 

the necessary research, perform the 

appropriate analyses and prepare the 

permit application with documentation 

to demonstrate that their project meets 

all applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Specific activities and 

requirements are listed and described in 

the Supporting Statements for the two 

ICRs. 

State and local agencies under part 70 

and the EPA (or a delegate agency) 

under part 71 review permit 

applications, provide for public review 

of proposed permits, issue permits 

based on consideration of all technical 

factors and public input, and review 

information submittals required of 

sources during the term of the permit. 

Also, under part 70, the EPA reviews 

certain actions of the state and local 

agencies and provides oversight of the 

programs to ensure that they are being 

adequately implemented and enforced. 

Under part 71, the EPA reviews certain 

actions and performs oversight for any 

delegate agency, consistent with the 

terms of a delegation agreement. 

Consequently, information prepared and 

submitted by sources is essential for 

sources to receive permits, and for 

Federal, state, and local permitting 

agencies to adequately review the 

permit applications and thereby 

properly administer and manage the 

program. 

Since the previous renewal of this 

ICR, the EPA has promulgated two 

changes to the part 70 and 71 

regulations: the Flexible Air Permits 

rule and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) 

Tailoring rule. The first rule provides a 

mechanism for sources to establish 

provisions in their operating permits 

that result in fewer permit revisions 

necessary during the term of the permit. 

The second rule establishes levels 

where GHG emissions trigger permitting 

requirements. The information 

collection requirements for these 

regulatory revisions were approved by 

OMB after the approval of the 2007 ICR 

renewal and those approved changes are 

included and updated in these ICR 

renewals. Also, the previous part 71 ICR 

renewal identifed the EPA as the sole 

permitting authority, while this part 71 

renewal identifies the EPA and one 

delegate agency, the Navajo Nation, as 

permitting authorities (the EPA 

continues to serve as a permitting 

authority in all areas, while the delegate 

agency serves as a permitting authority 

in a limited portion of Indian country). 

Information that is collected is 

handled according to the EPA’s policies 

set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, 

subpart B—Confidentiality of Business 

Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also 

section 114(c) of the Act. 

Burden Statement: 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. 

The annual public reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for the collection 

of information under parts 70 and part 

71 is broken down as follows: 

Type of permit action Part 70 Part 71 

Permitting Authority: 

Number of Sources .......................................................................................................................................... 15,940 174 

Burden Hours per Response: 

Sources ............................................................................................................................................................. 250 215 

Permitting Authority .......................................................................................................................................... 84 94 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 

Sources ............................................................................................................................................................. 3,977,118 37,413 

Permitting Authority .......................................................................................................................................... 1,334,766 1,318 a

Any minor discrepencies are due to rounding. 

aOnly delegate agency burden is shown for part 71. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Industrial plants (sources); state, local, 

and tribal permitting authorities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

For part 70, there are 15,940 sources and 

112 state and local permitting 

authorities. For part 71, there are 174 

industry sources and 1 tribal delegate 

permitting authority (the EPA serves as 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 14, 2011 / Notices 77823 

a permitting authority but is not a 

respondent). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: For 

part 70, the total annual burden for 

sources and state and local permitting 

authorities is 5,311,884 hours and the 

total annual cost is $226,736,622. For 

part 71, the total annual burden for 

sources and the one delegate agency 

(tribal) is 38,731 hours and the total 

annual cost is $1,865,183. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

Since the last renewal of the part 70 

ICR (in 2007), there is a decrease of 214 

thousand hours (or about a 4 percent 

decrease) of annual respondent burden. 

This change is primarily due to an 

updated estimate of the number of 

permits expected compared to the last 

ICR renewal. To a lesser extent, this 

decrease is due to reduced permit 

renewal activity related to 

implementation of the Flexible Permits 

rule. Although the GHG Tailoring rule 

increased the number of source 

respondents by 552, the increase in 

burden was more than offset by the 

decrease in burden from the updated 

estimate of the number of permits and 

the decreased burden from the 

implementation of the Flexible Air 

Permits rule. Also, the annual per 

respondent burden has changed very 

little since the last part 70 ICR renewal 

(248 hours previously compared to the 

new estimate of 250 hours or about a 1 

percent increase). 

Since the last renewal of the part 71 

ICR (in 2007), there is an increase of 10 

thousand hours of total annual 

respondent burden (about a 36 percent 

increase). This is primarily due to an 

updated estimate of the number of 

permits expected (123 permits in the 

prior renewal versus 174 permits in this 

renewal or a 42 percent increase), which 

is due to increased energy development 

(oil and gas exploration and alternative 

energy development) in offshore areas 

under the EPA jurisdiction. In the 

current part 71 renewal, the Flexible Air 

Permits rule and the GHG Tailoring rule 

result in nearly offseting decreases and 

increases in burden. Also, even though 

the total annual burden has increased 

compared to the prior ICR renewal, the 

annual per source burden has decreased 

by about 3 percent. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

The 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. At that time, the EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICRs 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 

technical person listed under FOR
