Assessment Form, 3 hours per response 

for the Endorser Registration Form, and 

5 hours per response for the Endorser 

Annual Assessment Form. This results 

in an estimated annual partner 

respondent burden of 51 hours for new 

partners, 48 hours for established 

partners, 7 hours for new endorsers, and 

3 hours for established endorsers. 

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: 

Businesses, not-for-profit institutions, 

and State, Local, or Tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

22,865. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

463,419. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$19,415,628, includes $31,736 

annualized capital costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 30,792 hours from the 

currently approved burden. This is due 

to an observed increase in the number 

of facilities which must create and 

maintain an FRP.

Title: Certification of Pesticide 

Applicators. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0155.10, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0029. 

ICR Status: The current OMB 

approval for this ICR is scheduled to 

expire on July 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations at 5 CFR 1320.12(b)(2), the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. This ICR is for an ongoing 

information collection activity. 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 CFR, 

after appearing in the Final Rule and in 

the Federal Register when approved, 

are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Abstract: Under section 11 of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA 

administers certification programs for 

pesticide applicators. FIFRA allows EPA 

to classify a pesticide as ‘‘restricted use’’ 

if the pesticide meets certain toxicity or 

risk criteria. This ICR addresses the 

paperwork activities performed by 

various EPA-authorized agencies of 

States and Indian tribal governments, as 

well as federal agencies (collectively 

referred to in this document as 

‘‘authorized agencies’’), and activities 

performed by individuals and firms in 

the course of training and certifying 

persons who apply restricted use 

pesticides. 

Because of their potential to harm 

human health or the environment, 

restricted use pesticides may be 

purchased and applied only by a 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

38150 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 29, 2011 / Notices 

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.
