Title: NPDES Animal Sectors 

(Renewal) 

ICR Number: EPA ICR No. 1989.07, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0250. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

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 Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and 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 in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: The purpose of this ICR is to 

consolidate, streamline, and update 

EPA’s concentrated animal feeding 

operations (CAFOs) and concentrated 

aquatic animal production (CAAP) 

facility ICRs into the currently approved 

ICR for CAFOs (OMB Control No. 2040– 

0250). The two ICRs that are being 

consolidated in this ICR are: (1) NPDES 

and ELG Regulatory Revisions for 

Concentrated Animal Feeding 

Operations (Final Rule) (OMB Control 

No. 2040–0250); and (2) Concentrated 

Aquatic Animal Production (CAAP) 

Effluent Guidelines (OMB Control No. 

2040–0258). Additionally, two activities 

reported in the NPDES Program ICR 

(OMB Control No. 2040–0004) that are 

directly related with CAAP facilities or 

CAFOs will be incorporated in this ICR. 

(The two activities are the Permit 

Application for CAAP facilities using 

form 2B and Other Noncompliance 

Reports for CAFOs.) 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.1 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 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
56098 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 15, 2010 / Notices 

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: 

concentrated animal feeding operations 

(CAFOs) and a subset of facilities 

engaged in aquatic animal production 

defined in 40 CFR part 451. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

22,844. 

Frequency of Response: Varies (On 

occasion, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 

Annually). 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

3,273,678. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$73,624,822, includes $8,780,398 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: The current 

burden approved by OMB for the two 

ICRs being consolidated plus the 

activities from the NPDES Program ICR 

being migrated to this ICR is 3,044,140 

hours. This consolidated ICR estimates 

a total burden that is 229,538 hours 

more than the currently approved 

burden for the same ICRs (a 7.5 percent 

increase). The main cause of increase is 

that the animal agricultural industry has 

continued to grow and consolidate, 

which has resulted in a greater number 

of animal feeding operations (AFOs) 

that meet the size threshold for being 

defined as a Large CAFO. The 

projections also reflect more robust 

estimates from States and EPA regions 

on numbers of CAFOs in each. EPA 

estimates that the industry will grow at 

an average annual rate of 5.6% over the 

life of this ICR; with permitted CAFOs 

growing at an average annual rate of 

6.0%.

Amitraz; Receipt of Application for 

Emergency Exemption, Solicitation of 

Public Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has received a specific 

exemption request from the South 

Dakota Department of Agriculture to use 

the pesticide amitraz (CAS No. 330089– 

61–1) to treat up to 250,000 colonies of 

beehives to control varroa mites. The 

applicant proposes a use of a pesticide 

which was voluntarily canceled under 

section 6(f) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), and which poses a risk similar 

to the risk which was voluntarily 

canceled under section 6(f) of FIFRA. 

EPA is soliciting public comment before 

making the decision whether or not to 

grant the exemption. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 30, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

electronic comment, EPA recommends 

that you include your name and other 

contact information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD-ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses.
