65672 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices 

municipal waste combustor unit 

capacity greater than 225 megagrams per 

day of municipal solid waste. In general, 

all NSPS standards require initial 

notifications, performance tests, and 

periodic reports by the owners/ 

operators of the affected facilities. They 

are also required to maintain records of 

the occurrence and duration of any 

startup, 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 

with 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea and 

Eb. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of municipal 

waste combustor (MWC) facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea 

and Eb). 

Estimated number of respondents: 23. 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

quarterly and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 34,900 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $3,440,000 (per 

year), which includes $226,000 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase in the respondent burdens from 

the most recent ICR. The adjustments 

are due to a change in the number of 

sources subject to each Subpart, which 

was revised to reflect more recent 

information obtained through the 

Agency’s research within the MWC 

sector.

Pesticides; Petition Seeking Revised 

Testing Requirements of Pesticides 

Prior to Registration; Request for 

Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is seeking public 

comment on a petition from the Center 

for Food Safety (CFS) requesting that the 

Agency revise testing requirements for 

pesticides prior to registration. The 

petitioner, CFS, requests that the 

Agency require testing for whole 

pesticide formulations to account for the 

toxicological effects of inert and 

adjuvant ingredients and the testing of 

tank mixes to assess the interaction 

between pesticide ingredients. CSF 

believes this change is needed to meet 

the applicable safety standards of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 21, 2019.

II. What action is the agency taking? 

EPA requests public comment on a 

petition received from CFS requesting 

EPA take the following actions: 

1. Revise pesticide registration 

regulations to take into account all 

pesticide ingredients (active, inert and 

adjuvant) and their effects on the 

environment. 

2. Revise pesticide registration 

regulations to require whole pesticide 

formulation and tank mixture testing to 

take into account synergistic effects. 

3. Revise pesticide registration 

regulations to require inert ingredients 

and whole pesticide formulations 

testing for chronic toxicological effects 

and degradation. 

4. Revise pesticide registration 

regulations to require Endangered 

Species Act (ESA) consultation on the 

effects of whole pesticide formulations 

and tank mixtures on threatened and 

endangered species. 

5. Comply with the above 

requirements in conducting statutorily 

mandated registration reviews of 

pesticides.
