SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

PRA, 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 should I consider when I 

prepare my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns. 

6. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

7. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

III. What do I need to know about PRA? 

An Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

subject to PRA approval 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 preamble of the final 

rule, are further displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instruments or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers for certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in a list at 40 

CFR 9.1. 

Under PRA, burden means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 14, 2011 / Notices 77819 

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. 

IV. Which ICRs are being renewed? 

EPA is planning to submit a number 

of currently approved ICRs to OMB for 

review and approval under PRA. In 

addition to specifically identifying the 

ICRs by title and corresponding ICR, 

OMB and docket ID numbers, this unit 

provides a brief summary of the 

information collection activity and the 

Agency’s estimated burden. The 

Supporting Statement for each ICR, a 

copy of which is available in the 

corresponding docket, provides a more 

detailed explanation. 

A. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2011–0737 

Title: Application and Summary 

Report for an Emergency Exemption for 

Pesticides. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0596.10, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0032. 

ICR status: The approval for this ICR 

is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this ICR include 

Administration of Environmental 

Quality Programs, subsector groups, or 

government establishments primarily 

engaged in the administration of 

environmental quality. 

Abstract: This Information Collection 

Request (ICR) is a renewal of an existing 

ICR that is currently approved by OMB 

and is due to expire July 31, 2012. 

Section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

authorizes EPA to grant emergency 

exemptions to states and Federal 

agencies to allow an unregistered use of 

a pesticide for a limited time if EPA 

determines that emergency conditions 

exist. A section 18 action arises when 

growers and others encounter a pest 

problem on a site for which there is 

either no registered pesticide available, 

or for which there is a registered 

pesticide that would be effective but is 

not yet approved for use on that 

particular site. Section 18 also allows 

EPA to grant unregistered pesticide use 

exemptions for public health and 

quarantine reasons. 

Most requests for emergency 

exemptions are made by state lead 

agricultural agencies, although agencies 

such as the United States Departments 

of Agriculture (USDA), Defense (DOD) 

and Interior (USDI) also request 

exemptions. This process is generally 

initiated when growers in particular 

regions identify an urgent, non-routine 

situation which registered pesticides 

will not alleviate. The growers contact 

their state lead agency (usually a state’s 

department of agriculture) and request 

that the state agency apply to EPA for 

a section 18 emergency exemption for a 

particular use. The state agency 

evaluates the requests and submits 

requests to EPA for emergency 

exemptions they believe are warranted. 

The uses are requested for a limited 

period of time to address the emergency 

situation only. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 15,741 for state 

government applicants for FIFRA 

section 18 program. The ICR, a copy of 

which is available in the docket, 

provides a detailed explanation of this 

estimate, which is only briefly 

summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 60. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 2–3. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

15,741 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$917,993. This is the estimated burden 

cost; there is no cost for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs in this information 

collection. 

Changes in the estimates from the last 

approval: The renewal of this ICR will 

result in an overall decrease of 33,759 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden identified in the currently 

approved ICR. The total annual 

respondent burden cost has decreased 

due to a change in the average number 

of section 18s requested per year from 

494 to 159. For the next renewal cycle 

the Agency projects it will receive 

approximately 159 section 18 

applications each year over the next 

three years. The Agency believes that 

respondents will experience some 

burden reduction over the next three 

years due to the streamlined 

recertification process for section 18 

applications. 

B. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2011–0843 

Title: Notice of Arrival of Pesticides 

and Devices under Section 17(c) of 

FIFRA. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0152.10, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0020. 

ICR status: The approval for this ICR 

is scheduled to expire on August 31, 

2012. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this ICR are individuals or 

entities that import pesticides into the 

United States. The North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes assigned to the parties 

responding to this information 

collection include NAICS code 236220 

(commercial and institutional building 

construction), sector 11 (agriculture, 

forestry, fishing, and hunting), and 

sector 42 (wholesale trade). The 

majority of responses come from entities 

that fall under NAICS code 325300 

(pesticide and other agricultural 

chemical manufacturing). 

Abstract: The Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) regulations at 19 CFR 

12.112 require that an importer desiring 

to import a pesticide or device into the 

United States shall, prior to the 

shipment’s arrival in the United States, 

submit a Notice of Arrival of Pesticides 

and Devices (EPA Form 3540–1) to EPA. 

EPA Form 3540–1 requires the 

identification and contact information 

of parties involved in the importation of 

the pesticide or device and information 

on the identity of the imported pesticide 

or device shipment. EPA will review the 

form and indicate the disposition of the 

shipment upon its arrival in the United 

States. Upon completing Form 3540–1, 

EPA returns the form to the importer of 

record or authorized agent, who must 

present the form to CBP upon arrival of 

the shipment at the port of entry. This 

is necessary to ensure that EPA is 

notified of the arrival of pesticides and 

devices as required under the FIFRA 

section 17(c), and that EPA has the 

ability to examine such shipments to 

determine compliance with FIFRA. 

Upon the arrival of the shipment, the 

importer presents the completed notice 

of arrival (NOA) to the CBP District 

Director at the port of entry. CBP 

compares entry documents for the 

shipment with the NOA and notifies the 

EPA regional office of any 

discrepancies. 

During this renewal of this 

information collection, EPA proposes to 

amend Form 3540–1. The proposed 

amendments clarify the instructions for 

completing the form, revise the data 

items, and update the terminology used 

on the form to be consistent with those 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

77820 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 14, 2011 / Notices 

used by CBP. In addition, EPA is 

capturing the burden of providing 

supplemental information submitted 

with Form 3540–1 to the Agency by 

most importers on a voluntary basis. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.43 hours per 

response. The ICR, a copy of which is 

available in the docket, provides a 

detailed explanation of this estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 28,000. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

12,040 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$685,146. This is the estimated burden 

cost; there is no cost for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs in this information 

collection. 

Changes in the estimates from the last 

approval: The renewal of this ICR will 

result in an overall increase of 4,540 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden identified in the currently 

approved ICR. This increase is a result 

of an increase in the annual number of 

NOAs submitted and an increase in the 

burden hours per response. The annual 

number of NOAs submitted to EPA 

increased from 25,000 to 28,000. The 

average burden hours per response will 

change from 0.3 hours for the previous 

ICR renewal to 0.43 hours for this ICR 

renewal. This change in burden hours 

per response is a result of changes to the 

data items on Form 3450–1, as well as 

an accounting of the burden of 

voluntarily submitting certain 

information. Specifically, this burden 

estimate accounts for the new burdens 

related to providing information for the 

telephone numbers and email addresses 

of the shipper, importer of record, 

licensed broker, and ultimate consignee 

when supplying name and address 

information, and that the complete 

address, including telephone and email 

address, of the carrier be provided. In 

addition, EPA is accounting for the 

burden of voluntarily providing active 

ingredients and percentage of each, 

supporting documentation for registered 

and unregistered pesticides, as well as 

intended use information for 

unregistered pesticides. This change is 

an adjustment. 

C. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2011–0886 

Title: Application for New and 

Amended Pesticide Registration. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0277.16, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0060. 

ICR status: The approval for this ICR 

is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this ICR are individuals or 

entities engaged in activities related to 

the registration of pesticide products. 

The NAICS code assigned to the entities 

responding to this information is 

325300 (pesticide and other agricultural 

and chemical manufacturing). 

Abstract: This ICR renewal will allow 

EPA to collect necessary data to 

evaluate an application of a pesticide 

product as required under section 3 of 

FIFRA, and the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by 

the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) 

of August 3, 1996. Under FIFRA, EPA 

must evaluate pesticides thoroughly 

before they can be marketed and used in 

the United States, to ensure that they 

will not pose unreasonable adverse 

effects to human health and the 

environment. Pesticides that meet this 

test are granted a license or 

‘‘registration’’ which permits their 

distribution, sale, and use according to 

requirements set by EPA to protect 

human health and the environment. The 

producer of the pesticide must provide 

data from tests done according to EPA 

guidelines or other test methods that 

provide acceptable data. These tests 

must determine whether a pesticide has 

the potential to cause adverse effects on 

humans, wildlife, fish and plants, 

including endangered species and nontarget organisms, as well as possible 

contamination of surface water or 

groundwater from leaching, runoff and 

spray drift. EPA also must approve the 

language that appears on each pesticide 

label. A pesticide product can only be 

used according to the directions on the 

labeling accompanying it at the time of 

sale, through its use and disposal. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to range from 14 hours to 840 

hours, depending upon the type of 

response. The ICR, a copy of which is 

available in the docket, provides a 

detailed explanation of this estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1,758. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

55,412 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$4,101,100. This is the estimated burden 

cost; there is no cost for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs in this information 

collection. 

Changes in the estimates from the last 

approval: The renewal of this ICR will 

result in an overall decrease of 20,768 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden identified in the currently 

approved ICR. This decrease reflects 

fewer expected responses across all 

response types. The reduction in EPA’s 

response estimate is primarily from a 

reduction in ‘‘Type B’’ activities, which 

include amendments and notifications, 

in the Antimicrobial Division. Based on 

experience over the past three years, the 

Agency has reduced the number of 

responses to reflect estimates closer to 

actual number of responses. In addition, 

due to some industry consolidation and 

based on registration maintenance fee 

data, EPA has identified 42 fewer ICR 

respondents. This change is an 

adjustment. 

V. What is the Next Step in the Process 

for these ICRs?
