Title: Pesticide Environmental 

Stewardship Program Annual Measures 

Reporting. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2415.01, 

OMB Control No. 2070–new. 

ICR status: This ICR is for a new 

information collection activity. 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 Code 

of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This new information 

collection request provides EPA with 

program information on membership 

application and stewardship strategy 

development, as well as annual 

reporting activities which allow the 

Agency to assess performance measures 

information, for use by the Pesticide 

Environmental Stewardship Program 

(PESP). Implemented through the Office 

of Pesticide Programs, PESP is an EPA 

voluntary program that forms 

partnerships with the pesticide user 

community in order to promote the 

reduction of risks from pests and 

pesticides through use of integrated pest 

management (IPM). IPM is an approach 

that involves making best choices from 

among a series of pest management 

practices, and allows for managing pests 

economically, with the least possible 

hazard to people, property, and the 

environment. By fostering IPM, PESP 

provides a non-regulatory approach that 

assists the Agency in meeting the goals 

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the 

Pollution Prevention Act, and Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA) by 

reducing pesticide use and risks in 

agricultural and non-agricultural 

settings. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average in a range from 37 

to 112 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 219. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

19,298 hours. 

Estimated total annual burden costs: 

$1,345,686. No capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs are 

projected for this collection. 

IV. What is the next step in the process 

for this ICR? 

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. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

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

submission of the ICR 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 person listed

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. 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, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection.

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

III. What information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Affected entities: As identified by 

their North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) code, 

entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are: Applicators on farms (crop 

production, NAICS code 111; animal 

production, NAICS code 112); 

commercial services applicators 

(exterminating and pest control services, 

NAICS code 561710); administration of 

certification programs by States/Tribal 

lead agencies (environmental protection 

program administration, NAICS code 

924110; pest control programs, 

agricultural, governmental, NAICS code 

926140); pesticide dealers (only for 

EPA-administered programs) (retail 

nursery, lawn, and garden supply stores, 

NAICS code 444220; agricultural 

chemicals merchant wholesalers, NAICS 

code 424910); pesticide and other 

agricultural chemical manufacturing 

(individuals or entities engaged in 

activities related to the registration of a 

pesticide product, NAICS code 32532). 

Title: Certification of Pesticide 

Applicators. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0155.09, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0029. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2011. 

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 Code 

of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: In accordance with section 

11 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 27, 2010 / Notices 66087 

administers and oversees training and 

certification programs for pesticide 

applicators. FIFRA allows EPA to 

classify a pesticide as ‘‘restricted use’’ if 

the pesticide meets certain toxicity or 

risk criteria. This ICR addresses the 

paperwork activities performed by 

various EPA-authorized agencies of 

States and Indian Tribal governments as 

well as Federal agencies (collectively 

referred to in this document as 

‘‘authorized agencies’’) and activities 

performed by firms in the course of 

training and certifying persons who 

apply restricted use pesticides. Because 

of their potential to harm human health 

or the environment, restricted use 

pesticides may be purchased and 

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; these 

standards are met through completion of 

a certification program or test. 

Authorized agencies administer 

certified applicator programs within 

their jurisdictions, but each agency’s 

certification plan must be approved by 

EPA before it can be implemented. In 

areas where no authorized agency has 

jurisdiction, EPA administers the 

certification program directly, called a 

Federal program. 

This ICR also addresses how 

registrants of certain pesticide products 

are expected to perform specific, special 

paperwork activities, such as training 

and recordkeeping, in order to comply 

with the terms and conditions of the 

pesticide registration (e.g., registrants of 

anthrax-related pesticide products that 

assert claims to inactivate bacillus 

anthracis (anthrax) spores). Paperwork 

activities associated with the use of 

such products are conveyed specifically 

as a condition of the registration. 

No information of a sensitive or 

private nature is requested in 

conjunction with this collection 

activity. Further, this information 

collection activity complies with the 

provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 

and OMB Circular A–108. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average from 0.17 hours 

(ten minutes) to 77.35 hours per 

response, with a burden on most 

respondents of 3.1 hours. 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 427,131. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

1,320,669 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$42,134,484. No capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs are 

expected for this information collection. 

IV. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is an increase of 10,918 hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This increase reflects a program change: 

The expansion of the Federal certified 

applicator program from Navajo country 

to all of Indian country, nationally. 

Burden hours per respondent have not 

changed. 

V. What is the next step in the process 

for this ICR? 

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. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

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

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any
