Title: Request for Contractor Access to 

TSCA Confidential Business 

Information (CBI). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1250.09, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0075. 

ICR Status: This is a request to renew 

an existing approved collection that is 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

2010. Under OMB regulations, the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. 

Abstract: Submitters of information to 

EPA under the Toxic Substances 

Control Act (TSCA) may claim all or 

part of the information confidential. 

EPA will disclose information that is 

covered by a claim of confidentiality 

only to the extent permitted by, and in 

accordance with, the procedures in 

TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. One 

such circumstance is covered by this 

ICR. Specifically, certain employees of 

companies working under contract to 

EPA require access to CBI collected 

under the authority of TSCA in order to 

perform their official duties. The Office 

of Pollution Prevention and Toxics 

(OPPT), which is responsible for 

maintaining the security of TSCA CBI, 

requires that all individuals desiring 

access to TSCA CBI obtain and annually 

renew official clearance to TSCA CBI. 

As part of the process for obtaining 

TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires 

certain information about the 

contracting company and about each 

contractor employee requesting TSCA 

CBI clearance, primarily the name, EPA 

badge number or other identification of 

the employee, the type of TSCA CBI 

clearance requested and the justification 

for such clearance, and the signature of 

the employee to an agreement with 

respect to access to and use of TSCA 

CBI. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are voluntary, but failure to 

provide the requested information will 

prevent a contractor employee from 

obtaining clearance to TSCA CBI. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 1.6 

hours per response. Burden is defined 

in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are companies under contract to 

the Environmental Protection Agency to 

provide certain services, whose 

employees must have access to TSCA 

confidential business information to 

perform their duties. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 13 

(rounded up from 12.5). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

30. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 601 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$30,253. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: There 

is an increase of 155 hours (from 446 

hours to 601 hours) in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the information 

collection most recently approved by 

OMB. This reflects an increase in the 

estimated number of contractor 

employees subject to this information 

collection. The increase is an 

adjustment. 

Dated: November 8, 2010.

Title: Requirements for Certified 

Applicators Using 1080 Collars for 

Livestock Protection. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1249.09, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0074. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2010. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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 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 in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: This ICR affects 

approximately 40 certified pesticide 

applicators who utilize 1080 toxic 

collars for livestock protection. Four 

states (Montana, New Mexico, South 

Dakota, and Wyoming) monitor the 

program, and five pesticide registrants 

are required to keep records of: (a) 

Number of collars purchased; (b) 

number of collars attached on livestock; 

(c) pasture(s) where collared livestock 

were placed; (d) number and locations 

of livestock found with ruptured or 

punctured collars and the apparent 

cause of the damage; (e) the dates of 

each attachment, inspection, and 

removal; (f) number, dates, and 

approximate location of all collars lost; 

(g) locations, and dates of all suspected 

poisonings of humans, domestic 

animals or non-target wild animals 

resulting from collar use location and 

species data on each animal poisoned as 

an apparent result of the toxic collar. 

Applicators maintain records, and the 

registrants/lead agencies do monitoring 

studies and submit the reports. These 

records are monitored by either the: (a) 

State lead agencies; (b) EPA regional 

offices; or (c) the registrants. The EPA 

receives annual monitoring reports from 

registrants or State lead agencies. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 40 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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: 

pesticide and other agricultural 

manufacturers (NAICS 325320), e.g., 

pesticide registrants whose products 

include 1080 collars; and government 

establishments primarily engaged in the 

administration of environmental quality 

programs (NAICS 9241), e.g., states 

implementing a 1080 collar monitoring 

program. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

48. 

Frequency of Response: Annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,944 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$77,044. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 9 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to a 

correction in the calculation of the 

annual respondent burden hours from 

the last ICR.
