Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 27, 2010 / Notices 66087 

administers and oversees training and 

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 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 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 authorized agency has 

jurisdiction, EPA administers the 

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 recordkeeping, 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. 

No information of a sensitive or 

private nature is requested in 

conjunction with this collection 

activity. Further, this information 

collection activity complies with the 

provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 

and OMB Circular A–108. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average from 0.17 hours 

(ten minutes) to 77.35 hours per 

response, with a burden on most 

respondents of 3.1 hours. 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 427,131. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

1,320,669 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$42,134,484. No capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs are 

expected for this information collection. 

IV. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

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, nationally. 

Burden hours per respondent have not 

changed. 

V. What is the next step in the process 

for this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the person listed

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 information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this ICR are persons engaged 

in selling, purchasing, or leasing certain 

residential dwellings built before 1978, 

or who are real estate agents 

representing such parties. 

Title: Residential Lead-Based Paint 

Hazard Disclosure Requirements. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1710.06, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0151. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011. 

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 Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

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 for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Section 1018 of the 

Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard 

Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4852d) 

requires that sellers and lessors of most 

residential housing built before 1978 

disclose known information on the 

presence of lead based paint and lead 

based paint hazards, and provide an 

EPA approved pamphlet to purchasers 

and renters before selling or leasing the 

housing. Sellers of pre-1978 housing are 

also required to provide prospective 

purchasers with ten days to conduct an 

inspection or risk assessment for lead 

based paint hazards before obligating 

purchasers under contracts to purchase 

the property. The rule does not apply to 

rental housing that has been found to be 

free of lead-based paint, zero-bedroom 

dwellings, housing for the elderly, 

housing for the handicapped, or short 

term leases. The affected parties and the 

information collection-related 

requirements related to each are 

described below: 

1. Sellers of pre-1978 housing must 

attach certain notification and 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 27, 2010 / Notices 66089 

disclosure language to their sales/ 

leasing contracts. The attachment lists 

the information disclosed and 

acknowledges compliance by the seller, 

purchaser, and any agents involved in 

the transaction. 

2. Lessors of pre-1978 housing must 

attach notification and disclosure 

language to their leasing contracts. The 

attachment, which lists the information 

disclosed and acknowledges compliance 

with all elements of the rule, must be 

signed by the lessor, lessee and any 

agents acting on their behalf. Agents and 

lessors must retain the information for 

three years from the completion of the 

transaction. 

3. Agents acting on behalf of sellers or 

lessors are specifically required by 

section 1018 to comply with the 

disclosure regulations described in this 

paragraph. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 745, subpart F, and 24 CFR part 35, 

subpart H). Respondents may claim all 

or part of a notice confidential. EPA will 

disclose information that is covered by 

a claim of confidentiality only to the 

extent permitted by, and in accordance 

with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 

and 40 CFR part 2. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average about 0.18 hours 

per response. 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 39,124,000. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.0. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

6,937,330 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$126,120,374. This includes an 

estimated burden cost of $126,120,374 

and an estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

IV. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 807,286 hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This decrease reflects changes in the 

housing market, namely a gradual 

reduction in the annual number of real 

estate sales and residential property 

rentals involving target housing subject 

to the rule’s requirements. This change 

is an adjustment. 

V. What is the next step in the process 

for this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the technical
