certified applicator or by a person under 

the direct supervision of a certified 

applicator. A person must meet certain 

standards of competency to become a 

certified applicator; these standards are 

met through completion of a 

certification program or test. Authorized 

agencies administer certified applicator 

programs within their jurisdictions, but 

each agency’s certification plan must be 

approved by EPA before it can be 

implemented. In areas where no agency 

has been authorized, EPA may 

administer a certification program 

directly, called a Federal program. 

This ICR also addresses how 

registrants of certain pesticide products 

are expected to perform specific, special 

paperwork activities, such as training 

and record-keeping, in order to comply 

with the terms and conditions of the 

pesticide registration (e.g., registrants of 

anthrax-related pesticide products that 

assert claims to inactivate Bacillus 

anthracis (anthrax) spores). Paperwork 

activities associated with the use of 

such products are conveyed specifically 

as a condition of the registration. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to range from 0.17 hours (ten 

minutes) to 77.35 hours per response, 

with a burden on most respondents of 

3.1 hours. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). The following is a summary 

of the burden and cost information for 

this ICR: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: As 

identified by their North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) code, entities potentially 

affected by this ICR are: Applicators on 

Farms (111 Crop Production, 112 

Animal Production); Commercial 

Services Applicators (561710 

Exterminating and Pest Control 

Services); Administration of 

Certification Programs by States/Tribal 

Lead Agencies (924110 Environmental 

protection program administration and 

926140 Pest control programs, 

agricultural, governmental); Pesticide 

Dealers (only for EPA-administered 

programs) (444220 Retail Nursery, 

Lawn, and Garden Supply stores, 

424910 Agricultural chemicals 

merchant wholesalers); and Pesticide 

and Other Agricultural Chemical 

Manufacturing (32532 Individuals or 

entities engaged in activities related to 

the registration of a pesticide product). 

Estimated Total Number of 

Respondents: 427,133. 

Frequency of Response: Annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,320,669 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$42,134,484. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 10,918 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This increase reflects 

a program change: the expansion of the 

Federal certified applicator program 

from Navajo Country to all of Indian 

Country. Burden hours per respondent 

have not changed.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on July 31, 2011. 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

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after

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 in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR Part 9. 

Abstract: The scope of this ICR is the 

electronic reporting components of the 

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule 

(CROMERR), which is designed to: 

allow EPA to comply with the 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

of 1998; provide a uniform, technologyneutral framework for electronic 

reporting across all EPA programs; 

allow EPA programs to offer electronic 

reporting as they become ready for 

CROMERR; and provide states with a 

streamlined process—together with 

uniform set of standards—for approval 

of their electronic reporting provisions 

for all their EPA-authorized programs. 

Use of electronic reporting is voluntary. 

In order to accommodate CBI, the 

information collected must be in 

accordance with the confidentiality 

regulations set forth in 40 CFR Part 2, 

subpart B. Additionally, EPA will 

ensure that the information collection 

procedures comply with the Privacy Act 

of 1974 and the OMB Circular 108. 

Burden Statement: The overall 

recordkeeping and reporting burden for 

this ICR is estimated to be about 12 

minutes per response. However, the 

actual burden varies between 5 minutes 

and 331 hours depending on the 

specific activity. Please see the 

supporting statement for the details. 

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: 

Facilities reporting electronically to 

EPA and state, tribal, or local 

government authorized programs; and 

state, tribal, and local government 

authorized programs implementing 

electronic reporting. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

EPA estimates that, on average, 87,080 

facility employees will register and 

comply with identity proofing 

requirements of EPA or state, tribal, or 

local government authorized program 

electronic document receiving systems 

each year. EPA estimates that 24 state, 

tribal, or local government authorized 

programs will submit documentation to 

EPA associated with the approval of 

their electronic document receiving 

systems each year. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

39,763 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

estimated total annual cost is 

$2,167,446. This includes an estimated 

labor cost of $1,396,120, capital cost of 

$632,137, and operation and 

maintenance (O&M) cost of $139,189. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 38,272 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease occurred for two 

primary reasons. First, there was a 

decrease in the annualized number of 

respondents. The total number of 

employees registering with EPA’s 

electronic document receiving system 

and/or complying with CROMERR’s 

identity proofing requirements 

decreased from 93,325 in the currently 

approved ICR to 87,080 in this ICR. In 

addition, the total number of state, 

tribal, and local government authorized 

programs upgrading their existing 

electronic document receiving systems 

or developing new electronic document 

receiving systems, and submitting 

documentation associated with the 

approval of CROMERR applications 

decreased from 61 in the currently 

approved ICR to 24 in this ICR. EPA 

conducted a thorough examination of 

available information (e.g., number of 

application received over the past three 

years) in estimating the number of 

respondents subject to the requirements 

of this ICR. EPA thinks that the number 

of respondents included in this ICR is 

a reasonable approximation of the actual 

respondent universe. 

Second, in developing this ICR, EPA 

carefully reviewed the respondent 

activities associated with compliance 

with identify proofing requirements. 

EPA made a few changes to the 

assumptions associated with subscriber 

agreement and LRA alternatives to be 

consistent with actual compliance of 

respondents with these requirements. 

For example, EPA reduced the 

proportion of respondents that use the 

LRA alternative while increasing the 

proportion of respondents that comply 

with subscriber agreement 

requirements. This resulted in a burden 

decrease because the burden associated 

with subscriber agreements is less than 

the LRA burden. EPA notes that few, if 

any, respondents opted to use the LRA 

alternative over the past three years.
