Abstract: This information collection 

request covers the information 

collection activities associated with the 

container design and residue removal 

requirements and containment structure 

requirements. With respect to the 

container design and residue removal 

requirements, the information collection 

activities are associated with the 

requirement that businesses subject to 

the container regulations (pesticide 

registrants) and repackaging regulations 

(pesticide registrants and refillers) 

maintain records of test data, cleaning 

procedures, certain data when a 

container is refilled, and other 

supporting information. These records 

are subject to both call-in by EPA and 

on-site inspection by EPA and its 

representatives. 

EPA has not established a regular 

schedule for the collection of these 

records, and there is no reporting. With 

respect to the containment structure 

requirements, the information collection 

activities are associated with the 

requirement that businesses subject to 

the containment structure regulations 

maintain records of the: (1) Monthly 

inspection and maintenance of each 

containment structure and all stationary 

bulk containers; (2) duration over which 

non-stationary bulk containers holding 

pesticide and not protected by a 

secondary containment unit remain at 

the same location; and (3) construction 

date of the containment structure. 

The businesses subject to the 

containment structure regulations 

include agrichemical retailers and 

refilling establishments, custom 

blenders and commercial applicators of 

agricultural pesticides. The records have 

to be maintained by the owners and 

operators of such businesses. There is 

no regular schedule for the collection of 

either of these records, nor does EPA 

anticipate a call-in of records at some 

future date. Instead, the records would 

be available to inspectors to ensure that 

businesses are in compliance with 

containment requirements. These 

inspections are generally conducted by 

the states, which enforce FIFRA 

regulations through cooperative 

agreements with EPA. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR include 

pesticide registrants and businesses who 

formulate pesticide products or 

pesticide formulation intermediates 

(NAICS code 325320), farm supply 

wholesalers (NAICS code 422910), 

swimming pool applicators (NAICS 

codes 561790,453998, and 235990), and 

agricultural (aerial and ground) 

commercial applicators (NAICS code 

115112). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory under sections 3, 8, 19, and 

25 of the Federal Insecticide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136f, 

136q, and 136w). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

23,586. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 169,660 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $6,248,079 (per 

year), includes $5,561,578 for container 

regulations and $686,501 for 

containment regulations. 

Changes in the Estimates: The 

renewal of this ICR will result in an 

overall decrease of 4,890.5 hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

indentified in the currently approved 

ICR. This decrease reflects three 

revisions to the estimated annual 

burden. First, EPA received very few 

waiver requests for complying with the 

non-refillable container regulations, so 

the estimated rate of registrants 

requesting waivers decreases from 5% 

to 1%. The decrease in estimated waiver 

requests resulted in a corresponding 

decrease in the associated burden. 

Second, since registrant repacking 

activities are similar to the repacking 

activities conducted by refillers and 

swimming pool supply companies, EPA 

increased the average annual burden per 

registrant respondent from 1 hour to 

12.5 hours per respondent to be 

consistent with the average burden per 

refiller or swimming pool supply 

company. Third, for entities subject to 

the containment requirements, some 

activities in the previous ICR were onetime activities completed by the 

compliance date of August 16, 2009. 

This ICR includes only the ongoing 

annual information collection activities 

for the containment requirements,

43880 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 140 / Monday, July 22, 2013 / Notices 

resulting in a corresponding decrease in 

the estimated annual burden per 

respondent from the previous ICR. 

These changes are adjustments.

Abstract: This information collection 

activity notifies the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) of 

supplemental distribution of registered 

pesticide products. As mandated by the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, 

EPA is responsible for the regulation of 

pesticides. Section 3 (e) of FIFRA (7 

U.S.C. 136a (e)) allows pesticide 

products with the same formulation, 

label claims, and manufacturer as a 

registered product to be distributed 

under the same registration as the basic 

product. Pesticide registrants may 

distribute or sell registered pesticides 

under a different product name in 

addition to the registered name, or 

under a different entity’s name and 

address. Such distribution and sale is 

termed ‘‘supplemental distribution’’ and 

the product is termed a ‘‘distributor 

product.’’ EPA requires pesticide 

registrants who enter into supplemental 

distribution agreements with other 

companies to submit EPA Form 8570– 

5, Notice of Supplemental Distribution 

of a Registered Pesticide Product. 

Supplemental registrations are only an 

extension of a currently federally 

registered pesticide product. 

Distributor products must reflect any 

changes in formulation or labeling made 

to the basic registered product within 

the same timeframe imposed on that 

product. A distributor is considered an 

agent of the registrant; both the 

registrant and the distributor may be 

held liable for violations pertaining to 

the distributed product. In addition to 

notifying the Agency, an individual or 

entity may become a distributor upon 

meeting the regulatory conditions. 

Distributor products must be the same 

as the registered product, and may not 

be repackaged (must remain in the 

producer’s unopened container); 

distributor product labels must bear 

qualifications such as ‘‘distributed by,’’ 

or ‘‘sold by;’’ the labeling must bear the 

same claims as the basic registered 

product—with the exception of deletion 

of specific claims. In addition, although 

the distributed product’s name may be 

different from that of the registered 

product, it may not be misleading. 

Product distributorship data submitted 

by basic product registrants under 

FIFRA Section 3(e) are considered by 

the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) 

to contain no confidential business 

information (CBI). 

Form Numbers: EPA Form 8570–5. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Pesticide and other Agricultural 

Chemical Manufacturing; individuals or 

firms engaged in activities related to the 

registration and supplemental 

distribution of a pesticide product. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit. 

Estimated number of responses: 1,451 

per year (total). 

Frequency of response: Once per 

event. 

Total estimated burden: 387 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $34,505 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 68 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is an adjustment to 

account for a previously unaccountedfor additional activity involved in some 

of the responses.
