Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory.

Estimated number of respondents: 240 (total).

Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated annual burden: 4,025 hours per year.

Total estimated annual cost: $245,246 per year, includes $0 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 825 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease represents the net effect of a decrease in the estimated number of notices sent to EPA and a decrease in the number of firms sending notices, which is based on EPA’s recent experience with TSCA section 12(b) notices. This change is an adjustment. The Supporting Statement provides additional detail concerning the change in burden estimate.

Abstract: The Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP or ‘‘the program’’ hereinafter) is an EPA voluntary program implemented by Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP). PESP’s goal is to promote environmental stewardship to protect human health and the environment in accordance with Section 2(b) of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. 13101(b) that ‘‘pollution should be prevented or reduced at the source whenever feasible,’’ and Section 3 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) which requires EPA to regulate pesticides to prevent ‘‘unreasonable adverse effects.’’ The program encourages the use of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to make the best stewardship choices from a series of pest management practices. It allows for economical pest management, and does so with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment.

This new information collection request (ICR) enables EPA to implement IPM through partnerships with its members which are pesticide user entities, and organizations which focus on training, educating, or influencing pesticide users. To become a PESP member, a pesticide user entity or an organization submits an application and a five-year strategy. The program uses the information collected to establish partner membership, develop stewardship strategies, offer technical assistance, measure progress towards stewardship goals, and award incentives. The stewardship strategy outlines how environmental and human health risk reduction goals will be achieved through the implementation of IPM, or through educating others on IPM. PESP encourages its members to track progress towards IPM goals: Reduced use of unnecessary pesticides, realize cost reductions, and share knowledge about IPM methodologies.

EPA has implemented procedures to protect any confidential, trade secret or proprietary information from disclosure that provide strict instructions regarding access to and contact with documents confidential business information (CBI). These procedures comply with EPA’s CBI regulations at 40 CFR part 2.

Form Numbers: PESP Membership Application Form (EPA Form 9600–02); Strategy/Reporting Form for PESP Members that are Not Commercial/ Residential Pest Control Services (EPA Form No. 9600–01); PESP Strategy/ Progress Reporting Form for Residential/ Commercial Pest Control Service Providers (EPA Form No. 9600–03).

Respondents/affected entities: Pesticide user companies and organizations, or entities that represent them, that are committed to reducing risks from pests and pesticides by practicing IPM; companies or organizations that promote the use of IPM through education and training. Below is a list of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and associated industries that may be affected by information collection requirements covered under this ICR. This list is intended to be illustrative; entities from other industries may elect to apply for recognition through PESP. However, EPA expects that most applications will come from the following industries:
