to an increase in the estimated number 

of respondents subject to the rule. Based 

on the Agency’s projected industry 

growth rate, we assume the number of 

sources will continue to grow at a rate 

of two new sources per year. This 

results in an increase in the respondent 

labor hours, number of responses, and 

total O&M costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

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. 

II. What information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Title: Pesticide Environmental 

Stewardship Program Annual Measures 

Reporting. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2415.03. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0188. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

2016. 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 ICR enables EPA to run 

the Pesticide Environmental 

Stewardship Program (PESP). PESP is 

an EPA voluntary program implemented 

by the Office of Pesticide Programs 

(OPP). Its goal is to promote 

environmental stewardship to protect 

human health and the environmental. 

PESP encourages the use of integrated 

pest management (IPM) strategies to 

reduce pests and pesticide risks through 

partnerships with entities among the 

pesticide user community. IPM is an 

approach that involves making the best 

choices from among a series of pest 

management practices. It allows for 

economical pest management, and does 

so with the least possible hazard to 

people, property, and the environment. 

PESP uses the information collected to 

establish partner membership, develop 

stewardship strategies, measure progress 

towards stewardship goals, and award 

incentives. 

While most PESP members are 

entities that are pesticide end-users, 

several others are organizations which 

focus on training, educating, or 

influencing pesticide users. To become 

a PESP member, a pesticide user entity 

or an organization submits an 

application and a five-year strategy. The 

strategy outlines how environmental 

and human health risk reduction goals 

will be achieved through the 

implementation of IPM, or through 

educating others on IPM. In addition, 

members submit annual progress reports 

that enable EPA and PESP members to 

track progress being made in adopting 

IPM activities and reductions in risks to 

human health and the environmental. 

Entities in the PESP program benefit 

through technical assistance, and 

through incentives for achievements. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 114 hours per 

respondent. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

15106 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2016 / Notices 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are pesticide user companies and 

organizations, or entities that practice 

IPM or promote the use of IPM through 

education and training. EPA expects 

that most respondents will come from 

the following industries: Agriculture, 

Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (NAICS 

Code 11), Crop Production (NAICS Code 

111), Nursery and Floriculture 

Production (NAICS Code 11142), 

Nursery and Tree Production (NAICS 

Code 111421), Forestry and Logging 

(NAICS Code 113), Utilities (NAICS 

Code 22), Electric Power Generation, 

Transmission and Distribution (NAICS 

Code 2211), Services to Buildings and 

Dwellings (NAICS Code 5617), 

Exterminating and Pest Control Services 

(NAICS Code 56171), Janitorial Services 

(NAICS Code 56172), Landscaping 

Services (NAICS Code 56173), 

Elementary and Secondary Schools 

(NAICS Code 6111), Junior Colleges 

(NAICS Code 6112), Colleges, 

Universities, and Professional Schools 

(NAICS Code 6113), Hospitals (NAICS 

Code 622), Child Day Care Services 

(NAICS Code 6244), Golf Courses and 

Country Clubs (NAICS Code 71391), and 

Environment, Conservation and Wildlife 

Organizations (NAICS Code 813312). 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 419. 

Frequency of response: Annual and 

on occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 

Respondents submit a one-time PESP 

Membership application, an annual 

survey, and a PEST strategy every five 

years. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

47,665 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $ 

3,073,383. This is the estimated burden 

cost; there are no capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs for 

this information collection. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is an increase of 4642 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

increase reflects EPA’s updating of 

burden estimates for this collection 

based upon historical information on 

the number of PESP members. Members 

are classified as IMP Promoters, IPM 

Users, and National IMP Users. Based 

on revised estimates, the number of IPM 

Promoters has decreased, the number of 

IMP users has increased, and the 

number of National IPM users has not 

changed. While the estimated burden 

per response has not changed for any 

category, the shift in memberships has 

resulted in a net increase in the overall 

burden. This change is an adjustment. 

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 document 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 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
