Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 123 / Thursday, June 26, 2014 / Notices 36315 

described in regulations pertaining to 

pesticidal substances that are produced 

by plants (plant-incorporated 

protectants) and which are codified in 

40 CFR part 174. A plant-incorporated 

protectant is defined as ‘‘the pesticidal 

substance that is intended to be 

produced and used in a living plant and 

the genetic material necessary for the 

production of such a substance.’’ Many, 

but not all, plant-incorporated 

protectants are exempt from registration 

requirements under the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA). Registrants sometimes 

include in a submission to EPA for 

registration of plant-incorporated 

protectants information that they claim 

to be confidential business information 

(CBI). CBI is protected by FIFRA and 

generally cannot be released to the 

public. Under 40 CFR part 174, 

whenever a registrant claims that 

information submitted to EPA in 

support of a registration application for 

plant-incorporated protectants contains 

CBI, the registrant must substantiate 

such claims when they are made, rather 

than provide it later upon request by 

EPA. In addition, manufacturers of 

plant-incorporated protectants that are 

otherwise exempted from the 

requirements of registration must report 

adverse effects of the plant-incorporated 

protectant to the Agency. Such reporting 

will allow the Agency to determine 

whether further action is needed to 

prevent unreasonable adverse effects to 

the environment. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR include 

producers and importers of Plant 

Incorporated Protectants (PIPs). The 

North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes for 

respondents under this ICR include: 

325320 (Pesticide and other Agricultural 

Chemical Manufacturing), 325414 

(Biological Products (except Diagnostic) 

Manufacturing), 422910 (Farm Supplies 

Wholesalers), 422930 (Flower, Nursery 

Stock, and Florists’s Suppliers), 541710 

(Research and Development in the 

Physical, Engineering, and Life 

Sciences), and 611310 (Colleges, 

Universities, and Professional Schools). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 20. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 432 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $31,371 (per 

year). There are no annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs 

associated with this ICR. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

increase of 43 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with 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 CBI 

substantiations per year. Based upon 

revised estimates, the number of CBI 

substantiations per year has increased 

from 18 to 20, with a corresponding 

increase in the associated burden. This 

change is an adjustment.

Abstract: EPA promulgated revisions 

for the National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for 

Group I Polymers and Resins. Potential 

respondents subject to the new 

requirements of the NESHAP include an 

estimated 5 existing facilities that 

produce butyl rubber, epichlorohydrin 

elastomer, ethylenepropylene rubber, 

neoprene rubber, and nitrile butadiene 

rubber. The burden attributable to this 

ICR consist of notification of front-end 

process vent limits, notification of 

backend operation limits, recordkeeping 

related to the new limits, and reports 

submitted to satisfy affirmative defense 

provisions. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of facilities that 

produce butyl rubber, 

epichlorohydrinelastomer, ethylenepropylene rubber, neoprene rubber, and 

nitrile butadienerubber. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart U). 

Estimated number of respondents: 5 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually.

Total estimated burden: 315 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $16,791 (per 

year), includes no annualized capital/

startup nor any operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 64 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This is due to an adjustment, not 

due to any program changes. The 

respondent burden increased because 

this ICR revised the hours associated 

with affirmative defense, using latest 

estimates provided by industry during 

consultation. The previous ICR covers 

the burden associated with initial 

compliance of the final standard, 

including one-time notification of 

performance tests and notifications of 

the back-end process limits. This 

burden decreased because this ICR 

assumes that existing facilities have 

already submitted initial notifications 

and reports, and covers the burden 

associated with on-going compliance.
