Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2012 / Notices 16829 

2Mr. White’s designation followed two previous 

designations of NMFS staff members who were 

determined to have prior involvement in the Don 

Pedro proceeding and were deemed ineligible to 

serve on the Panel. Mr. White’s designation came 

one business day ahead of the deadline established 

by the Commission of March 5, 2012. Because of 

the delay in establishing an eligible agency panel 

member, March 5, 2012 will serve as the date of 

initiation of the dispute resolution process rather 

than the dispute notice date of January 11, 2011. 

Mr. White was designated to represent the Water 

Board as well as NMFS.

On February 10, 2012, Commission 

staff designated Mr. Stephen Bowler to 

serve as the Commission staff Dispute 

Resolution Panel (Panel) chair. On 

March 2, 2012, NMFS designated Mr. 

David White as the Agency Dispute 

Resolution Panel member.2 From an 

established list of potential third party 

panelists, Mr. Bowler and Mr. White 

selected Mr. Richard Craven and 

requested that he serve on the Panel. 

Mr. Craven agreed to serve and the 

Panel convened on March 10, 2012. Mr. 

Craven’s statement certifying that he has 

no conflict of interest, which also 

summarizes his qualifications, has been 

filed into the record. None of the three 

panelists have been involved previously 

in the Don Pedro Hydroelectric Project 

relicensing proceeding. 

By letter filed March 15, 2012, the 

Panel requested that the Director of the 

Office of Energy Projects (Director) 

modify the timeframe for submission of 

the Panel’s recommendations from 50 to 

60 days from the start of the dispute 

resolution process, specifically from 

April 24, 2012 to May 4, 2012. The 

Panel also recommended the 

modification of the deadline for the 

Director’s determination on the study 

dispute from 70 to 80 days from the start 

of the dispute resolution process, 

specifically from May 14, 2012 to May 

24, 2012. By this notice, the Director 

modifies the schedule as recommended 

and requested by the Panel under his 

authority provided in 18 CFR 5.29(f)(2) 

of the Commission’s regulations. The 

resulting process plan for dispute 

resolution is as follows:

The Panel will hold an all-day 

technical conference on the disputed 

studies on April 17, 2012. The 

conference will be held in Sacramento, 

CA. Further details will be supplied in 

a future notice. The purpose of the 

technical conference is for the disputing 

agencies, the applicant, and the 

Commission to provide the Panel with 

additional information necessary to 

evaluate the disputed studies. All local, 

state, and federal agencies, Indian tribes, 

and other interested parties are invited 

to attend the meeting as observers. The 

Panel may also request information or 

clarification on written submissions as 

necessary to understand the matters in 

dispute. The Panel will limit all input 

that it receives to the specific studies or 

information in dispute and will focus on 

the applicability of such studies or 

information to the study criteria 

stipulated in 18 CFR 5.9(b). If the 

number of participants wishing to speak 

creates time constraints, the Panel may, 

at its discretion, limit the speaking time 

for each participant.

Abstract: The Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

Section 7(a) requires that any person 

who produces pesticides or pesticide 

devices subject to the Act must register 

with the Administrator of EPA the 

establishment in which the pesticide or 

the device is produced. This Section 

further requires that application for 

registration of any establishment shall 

include the name and address of the 

establishment and of the producer who 

operates such an establishment. EPA 

Form 3540–8, Application for 

Registration of Pesticide-Producing and 

Device-Producing Establishments, is 

used to collect the establishment 

registration information required by this 

Section. 

FIFRA Section 7(c) requires that any 

producer operating an establishment 

registered under Section 7 report to the 

Administrator within 30 days after it is 

registered, and annually thereafter by 

March 1st for certain pesticide/device 

production and sales/distribution 

information. The producers must report 

which types and amounts of pesticides, 

active ingredients, or devices are 

currently being produced, were 

produced during the past year, and sold 

or distributed in the past year. The 

supporting regulations at 40 CFR part 

167 provides the requirements and time 

schedules for submitting production 

information. EPA Form 3540–16, 

Pesticide Report for Pesticide-Producing 

and Device-Producing Establishments, 

is used to collect the pesticide 

production information required by 

Section 7(c) of FIFRA. 

Establishment registration 

information, collected on EPA Form 

3540–8, is a one-time requirement for all 

pesticide-producing and deviceproducing establishments. Pesticide and 

device production information, reported 

on EPA Form 3540–16, is required to be 

submitted within 30 days after the 

company is notified of their pesticideproducing or device-producing 

establishment number, and annually 

thereafter on or before March 1st. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average about 1.5 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: 

Establishments registering pesticides. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

13,830. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

19,987. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,545,104. There are no annualized 

capital or O&M costs associated with 

this ICR since all equipment associated 

with this ICR is present as Part of 

ordinary business practices. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 829 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to an 

adjustment in the estimates of the 

number of respondents.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
