SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What Information Is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

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

the 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 action are producers and 

importers of plant-incorporated 

protectants. These entities may be 

classified under the following North 

American Industrial Classification 

System (NAICS) codes: 

• Pesticides and other agricultural 

chemical manufacturing (NAICS code 

32532). 

• Research and development in the 

physical, engineering, and life sciences 

(NAICS code 54171). 

• Biological products (except 

diagnostic) manufacturing (NAICS code 

325414). 

• Colleges, universities, and 

professional schools (NAICS code 

611310). 

• Farm supplies wholesalers (NAICS 

code 422910). 

• Flower, nursery stock, and florists’

supplies (wholesalers) (NAICS code 

422930). 

Title: Plant-Incorporated Protectants; 

CBI Substantiation and Adverse Effects 

Reporting. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1693.05, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0142. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on October 31, 

2007. 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, 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: This ICR covers the two 

information collection related 

provisions contained in a final rule, 

which the Agency promulgated on July 

19, 2001 (66 FR 37771), that addresses 

the regulatory status of pesticidal 

substances that are produced by plants 

(plant-incorporated protectants). A 

plant-incorporated protectant is defined 

in the final rule as ‘‘the pesticidal 

substance that is intended to be 

produced and used in a living plant and 

the genetic material necessary for the 

production of such a substance.’’ The 

final rule accomplishes two things: It 

exempts many, but not all, plantincorporated protectants from 

registration requirements under the 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
11864 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 49 / Wednesday, March 14, 2007 / Notices 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and it imposes 

two new requirements on manufacturers 

of some plant-incorporated protectants. 

Registrants sometimes include in a 

submission to EPA for registration of a 

plant-incorporated protectant, 

information that they claim to be CBI. 

CBI is protected by FIFRA and cannot 

be released to the public. One provision 

of the final rule requires registrants that 

make CBI claims to substantiate such 

claims when they are made, rather than 

provide it later upon request by EPA. 

Submission of this information is 

required in order to obtain the benefit of 

prompt registration of a plantincorporated protectant. Early 

substantiation of CBI claims will enable 

the Agency to promptly release 

information supporting plantincorporated protectants registration 

decisions, without delaying 

registrations. 

The other information collection 

provision of the final rule requires 

manufacturers of plant-incorporated 

protectants exempted from the 

requirements of registration to report 

adverse effects of the plant-incorporated 

protectant to the Agency. Such reporting 

will allow the Agency to determine 

whether further action is needed to 

prevent unreasonable adverse effects to 

the environment. Submission of this 

information is mandatory. 

This ICR, therefore, discusses the 

paperwork burdens associated with the 

requirement for registrants to 

substantiate CBI claims when they are 

made, and the requirement for 

manufacturers of plant-incorporated 

protectants exempted from registration 

requirements under the final rule to 

report adverse effects to the Agency 

within 30 days. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 7 hours for an 

adverse effects report and 21.5 hours for 

substantiation of a CBI claim, 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: The total number of 

respondents is estimated to be 14 per 

year for substantiation of a CBI claim, 

and only one response for an adverse 

effects report over the three year period 

for this ICR renewal. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

303 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $30,853. 

This is an estimated burden cost of 

$30,853 with no additional cost for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

There is no change in the total 

estimated respondent burden (303 

hours) compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. In 

previous renewal cycles, the Agency 

only adjusted the labor rates to account 

for inflation. However, for this renewal, 

Agency economists have completely reestimated labor rates, benefits, and 

overhead costs for both respondents and 

Agency personnel. This Agency analysis 

completed in July 2006 resulted in a 

decrease in estimated labor rates for 

industry. The new analysis also resulted 

in management and technical estimated 

Agency labor rates decreasing and 

clerical rates increasing. The Agency 

believes this is a more realistic estimate 

of the average respondent and Agency 

costs. Therefore, estimated total annual 

respondent costs have decreased by 

$6,693, from $27,572 to $20,879, and 

annual Agency labor costs have 

increased by $111, from $9,863 to 

$9,974. 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 person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
