Abstract: The Underground Injection 

Control (UIC) Program, under authority 

of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 

established a federal-state regulatory 

system to protect underground sources 

of drinking water (USDWs) by ensuring 

that they are not endangered by the 

underground injection of fluids. Injected 

fluids include hazardous waste, oil field 

brines or produced water, mineral 

processing fluids, various types of 

industrial fluids, automotive, sanitary 

and other wastes, and carbon dioxide 

injected for geologic sequestration. 

Owners or operators of injection wells 

must obtain permits, conduct 

environmental monitoring, maintain 

records, and report results to the EPA or 

the state agency with UIC primary 

enforcement responsibility (primacy). 

States must report to the EPA on 

permittee compliance and related 

information. This required information 

is reported using the EPA’s standardized 

forms (or state equivalents) and annual 

reports; the governing regulations are 

codified in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR parts 144 

through 148. The data are used by UIC 

authorities to ensure the protection of 

USDWs. 

Form Numbers: 7520–1, 7520–2A, 

7520–2B, 7520–3, 7520–4, 7520–6, 

7520–7, 7520–8, 7520–11, 7520–16, 

7520–17, 7520–18, and 7520–19. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners or operators of underground 

injection wells and state UIC Program 

primacy agencies. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR parts 144 through 

148). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

40,168 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annual, semiannual, and quarterly. 

Total estimated burden: 1,292,260 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $227,307,259 

(per year), includes $168,345,558 

annualized capital or operation and 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 421,786 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due to changes 

in the injection well inventory, 

primarily a significant reduction in the 

number of Class II and Class VI permit 

applications expected to be prepared 

and reviewed; a decrease in the number 

of Class V inventory forms that are 

anticipated to be submitted; and a 

decrease in the number of Class I and 

Class VI well operators that the EPA 

estimates will be submitting 

information. Furthermore, the EPA has 

revised the operator reporting forms, 

which has resulted in additional burden 

reductions for operators of all well 

classes. These decreases are partially 

offset by an increase in burden due to 

anticipated changes in the number of 

Class III permit applications.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain the data or 

information prescribed in FFDCA 

section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); 

however, EPA has not fully evaluated 

the sufficiency of the submitted data at 

this time or whether the data support 

granting of the pesticide petitions. After 

considering the public comments, EPA 

intends to evaluate whether and what 

action may be warranted. Additional 

data may be needed before EPA can 

make a final determination on these 

pesticide petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this document, 

prepared by the petitioner, is included 

in a docket EPA has created for each 

rulemaking. The docket for each of the 

petitions is available at http://

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petitions so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on these requests for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petitions may be 

obtained through the petition 

summaries referenced in this unit.
