Title: NSPS for Hospital/Medical/ 

Infectious Waste Incinerators (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1730.09, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0363. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 31, 2013. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 

any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart Ec. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must make an initial 

notification report, performance tests, 

periodic reports, and 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. Reports are also 

required semiannually. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 115 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: 

Owners and operators of hospital, 

medical or infectious waste incinerators. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 5. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, semiannually and 

annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

3,912. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$664,375, which includes $378,826 in 

labor costs, $90,924 in capital/startup 

costs, and $194,625 in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment increase in the total 

estimated burden as currently identified 

in the OMB Inventory of Approved 

Burdens; however, this increase is not 

due to any program changes. The 

change in the burden and cost estimates 

occurred because the revised standard 

has been in effect for more than three 

years and the requirements are different 

during initial compliance for new 

facilities, as compared to on-going 

compliance for existing facilities. The 

previous ICR reflected those burdens 

and costs associated with the initial 

activities for subject facilities. This 

includes purchasing monitoring 

equipment, conducting performance 

tests and establishing recordkeeping 

systems. This ICR reflects the on-going 

burden and costs for existing facilities. 

Activities for existing source include 

continuously monitoring of pollutants 

and the submission of semiannual 

reports. In addition, there are a number 

of new facilities that are in the initial 

compliance phase described above. The 

overall result is an increase in burden 

hours, labor costs, and O&M costs. 

Furthermore, a portion of the labor cost 

increase is a result of increased labor 

rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates 

from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to 

calculate burden costs. 

Additionally, there is an adjustment 

decrease in capital costs in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

not due to any program changes. The 

previous ICR assumed all capital costs 

associated with monitoring were 

incurred during a single year; whereas 

this ICR calculates the average capital 

costs for new sources of each year that 

is covered under the ICR.

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

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 a typical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticide(s) 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the agency taking? 

Under section 18 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the 

discretion of the Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the Administrator determines that 

emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. The Wisconsin 

Department of Agriculture, Trade and 

Consumer Protection has requested the 

EPA Administrator to issue a specific 

exemption for the use of 3-decen-2-one 

on potatoes in storage facilities to burn 

off already emerged sprouts. 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of this 

request. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that the 2012 growing season 

started 2–3 weeks early and was 

unseasonably warmer by 3–5 degrees 

Fahrenheit. This resulted in potatoes 

sprouting early in storage facilities, and 

thus the need to control the sprouting to 

prevent potential economic loss. Buyers 

can reject or mark down full loads of 

potatoes even if minor sprouting is 

observed. Currently, there are many 

stored potatoes with sprouts greater 

than 1 millimeter (mm) in Wisconsin. 3- 

decen-2-one is the best option for stored 

potatoes because it burns off existing 

sprouts, even those greater than 1 mm. 

The majority of alternatives do not burn 

off existing sprouts nor can they be used 

on sprouts greater than 1 mm. If the use 

of 3-decen-2-one is not permitted, the 

economic loss to the state of Wisconsin 

is estimated at 40% of the state’s potato 

crop or up to 500,000 tons. 

The applicant proposes to make no 

more than two applications of the 

chemical with at least 7 days between 

applications (retreatment interval), the 

maximum number of stored potatoes to 

be treated is 10,000,000 hundredweight 

(cwt) or 500,000 tons. The total amount 

of product is 16,406 gallons or 16,078 

gallons of active ingredient, during the 

growing season from now through July 

2013. The use of 3-decen-2-one is 

permissible in the following Wisconsin 

counties: Adams, Barron, Chippewa, 

Columbia, Green Lake, Iowa, Jefferson, 

Juneau, Marquette, Portage, Richland, 

Sauk, Shawano, Waushara, Waupaca, 

Wood, Langlade, and Oneida. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing section 

18 of FIFRA require publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing use of a 

new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) 

which has not been registered by EPA. 

The notice provides an opportunity for 

public comment on the application. 

The Agency, will review and consider 

all comments received during the 

comment period in determining 

whether to issue the specific exemption 

requested by the Wisconsin Department 

of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer 

Protection.

Iodomethane; Cancellation Order for 

Pesticide Registrations and Label 

Amendment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the cancellation, voluntarily 

requested by the registrant and accepted 

by the Agency, of products containing 

iodomethane, pursuant to the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order 

follows a November 21, 2012 Federal 

Register Notice of Receipt of Request 

from the registrant listed in Table 3 of 

Unit II. to voluntarily cancel all these 

product registrations and to amend the 

technical/manufacturing-use label. 

These are the last products containing 

this pesticide registered for use in the 

United States. In the November 21, 2012 

notice, EPA indicated that it would 

issue an order implementing the 

cancellations and amendment, unless 

the Agency received substantive 

comments within the 30-day comment 

period that would merit its further 

review of these requests. The Agency 

received one comment on the notice, 

but it did not merit further review of the 

requests. Further, the registrant did not 

withdraw their request. Accordingly, 

EPA hereby issues this order granting 

the requested cancellations and 

amendment. Any distribution, sale, or 

use of the products subject to this 

cancellation order is permitted only in 

accordance with the terms of this order, 

including any existing stocks 

provisions. 

DATES: The cancellations of the end-use 

product registration are effective 

December 31, 2012. The cancellation of 

the technical product is effective 

December 1, 2015. The amendment to 

the technical label is effective January 1, 

2013.

III. Summary of Public Comments 

Received and Agency Response to 

Comments 

During the public comment period 

provided, EPA received one comment in 

response to the November 21, 2012 

Federal Register notice announcing the 

Agency’s receipt of the request for 

voluntary cancellation of the products 

listed in Table 1of Unit 2, and the label 

amendment of the product listed in 

Table 2 of Unit II. The Pesticide Action 

Network International (PAN) expressed 

support for the proposed cancellations. 

However, PAN also requested that EPA 

prohibit the use of the iodemethane 

technical product in the U.S. to 

formulate products for export. In the 

November 21, 2012 notice, EPA 

referenced a Memorandum of 

Agreement (MOA) between the 

technical registrant for iodomethane and 

EPA. One provision of the MOA 

requires Arysta to voluntarily amend its 

technical product label to only allow 

sale and distribution for export 

purposes after January 1, 2013. Section 

17 of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136o), and EPA 

regulations at 40 CFR part 168 Subpart 

D have specific requirements that apply 

to the export of unregistered pesticide, 

but these provisions do not provide EPA 

with authority to ban the export of 

pesticides registered under Section 3 of 

FIFRA, or cancelled pesticides. For 

these reasons, the Agency does not 

believe that the comment submitted by 

PAN merits further review or a denial of 

the requests for voluntary cancellation 

and a label amendment. 

IV. Cancellation Order 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA 

hereby approves the requested 

cancellations and label amendment of
