SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

energy information collection submitted

to OMB for review is:

1. EIA–904, ‘‘Fuel Used to Replace

Natural Gas During Natural Gas Service

Interruptions in the Northeast.’’ 2. The Energy Information

Administration plans to collect

information from up to 400 companies

whose supply of natural gas may have

been interrupted during December 1999,

or January or February 2000. The form

will request information on natural gas

and liquid fuel purchases; natural gas

and liquid fuels consumed in the

period; and fuel storage capacity and

inventories. This is a new survey and a

new OMB number is being requested.

The response obligation will be

mandatory. 3. The data will be collected, then

summarized and analyzed, and,

thereafter, be used for responding to a

request from the Secretary of Energy and

Congress regarding the level and extent

of natural gas interruptions in the

Northeastern United States, during

December 1999, and January and

February 2000. 4. Respondents will be customers of

local distribution companies and

pipeline companies with interruptible

service contracts. These customers may

have had their supply of natural gas

interrupted, during December 1999, or

January or February 2000. The

companies were identified by collecting

information from natural gas local

distribution companies and natural gas

pipeline companies in the Northeastern

United States.

5. The reporting burden is expected to

be 2400 hours (400 respondents × 1

response × 6 hours).

Statutory Authority: Sections 3506(c) and

3507(j) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995 (Pub. L. No. 104–13).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL–6700–8]

Agency Information Collection

Activities; Submission of EPA ICR No.

1911.01 to OMB for Review and

Approval

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of submission to OMB.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

the Information Collection Request (ICR)

entitled: Data Acquisition for

Anticipated Residue and Percent of

Crop Treated (EPA ICR No. 1911.01),

has been forwarded to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and approval pursuant to the

OMB procedures in 5 CFR 1320.12. The

ICR, which is abstracted below,

describes the nature of the information

collection and its estimated cost and

burden. The Agency is requesting that

OMB approve this new ICR for a three

year period. A Federal Register notice

announcing the Agency’s intent to seek

OMB approval for this new ICR and a

60-day public comment opportunity,

requesting comments on the request and

the contents of the ICR, was issued on

August 4, 1999 (64 FR 42362). EPA did

not receive any comments on this ICR

during the comment period.

DATES: Additional comments may be

submitted on or before June 16, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CONTACT: Sandy Farmer by phone at

202–260–2740, or via e-mail at

‘‘farmer.sandy@epa.gov’’, or download a

copy of the ICR off the Internet at

http://www.epa.gov/icr. Please refer to

EPA ICR No. 1911.01.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, referencing

EPA ICR No. 1911.01, to the following

addresses:

Ms Sandy Farmer, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Office of

Environmental Information, Collection

Strategies Division (2822), 1200

Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20460; and to:

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget (OMB), Attention: Desk Officer

for EPA, 725 17th Street, N.W.,

Washington, DC 20503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Data Acquisition for Anticipated

Residue and Percent of Crop Treated.

Abstract: Under this ICR, EPA will

issue a DCI to affected registrants under

the authority of FIFRA section

3(c)(2)(B). Currently, there are two main

categories of applications subject to this

collection: those requiring submission

of a full complement of supporting data,

(e.g., new chemicals, and biorationals);

and those requiring submission of little

or no data, (e.g., ‘‘me-too’’ products) for

previously registered chemicals and use

patterns. Applicants for a ‘‘me-too’’

product (i.e., a pesticide claimed to be

substantially similar in composition and

use to a product previously registered

by the EPA) may be required only to use

EPA Form 8570–34 (‘‘Certification with

Respect to Citation of Data’’) and EPA

Form 8570–35 (‘‘Data Matrix’’) to certify

that the applicant intends to rely on

data previously submitted to the EPA by

another producer, the applicant has

contacted the appropriate company

(owning the data that the applicant is

referencing), and the applicant has

offered to pay reasonable compensation

for the use of the data.

If EPA relies on ARs data when

establishing or reassessing a tolerance, it

must issue a DCI, and if the EPA used

the percent of crop treated data

estimates for a tolerance action, it may

issue a DCI. A DCI is a letter sent to the

registrant explaining the data

submission requirement, requests

specific data, sets out a time frame for

a response to EPA, and provides

applicable forms and guidelines to assist

the registrant with the completion of the

DCI request. A registrant must respond

within 90 days of receipt of the DCI. The

response must describe plans to submit

the required data in accordance with

time frame specified, and, if applicable,

contain suggested protocols for

monitoring studies. Failure to generate

the requested data, or respond to the

DCI in a timely manner could result in

Agency action to modify or revoke the

tolerance.
