2 Mr. 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. and Related Activities on Fish Passage for Anadromous Fish; Request 4— Effects of the Project and Related Facilities Hydrology for Anadromous Fish: Magnitude, Timing, Duration, and Rate of Change; Request 7—Evaluation of the Upper Tuolumne Habitats for Anadromous Fish; Request 8—Salmon and Steelhead Full Life-Cycle Population Models; and Request 9— Effects of the Project and Related Facilities on Ecosystem/Marine-Derived Nutrients for Anadromous Fish.

The Water Board’s Notice of Study Dispute seeks to have the Districts’ Study W&AR–2—Project Operations/
Water Balance Model modified to address constraints in timing and magnitude of flows related to water rights. 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:

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0160.10,
OMB Control No. 2070–0078.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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.

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 allpesticide-producing and deviceproducing establishments. Pesticide and device production information, reported on EPA Form 3540–16, is required to be submitted within 30 days after thecompany 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.
