Title: Submission of Unreasonable 

Adverse Effects Information Under 

FIFRA Section 6(a)(2) 

ICR Status: This is a request to renew 

an existing approved collection, which 

is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2007. 

Under OMB regulations, the Agency 

may continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. This ICR 

describes the nature of the information 

collection and its estimated burden and 

cost. 

Abstract: Section 6(a)(2) of Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act requires pesticide registrants to 

submit information to the Agency which 

may be relevant to the balancing of the 

risks and benefits of a pesticide product. 

The statute requires the registrant to 

submit any factual information that it 

acquires regarding adverse effects 

associated with its pesticidal products, 

and it is up to the Agency to determine 

whether or not that factual information 

constitutes an unreasonable adverse 

effect. Responses to this collection are 

mandatory. The authority for this 

information collection is section 6(a)(2) 

of FIFRA, with regulations codified in 

40 CFR part 159. Information submitted 

to EPA in response to this information 

collection may be protected from 

disclosure under FIFRA section 10. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 97.3 hours per 

registrant (respondent). Under the PRA, 

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: 

Pesticide Registrants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,720. 

Frequency of Response: As needed. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

167,316. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$9,809,591. 

Changes in the Estimates: This ICR 

renewal request reflects an increase of 

approximately 11,677 burden hours 

from that which is currently identified 

in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens, to an annual respondent 

burden of 167,316 hours at a cost of 

$9,809,591 (in 2006 dollars). The change 

in burden reflects a number of 

adjustments. For this renewal ICR, there 

are now fewer registrants of active 

products (1,720 versus 1,877) and 

therefore fewer employees to be trained 

(17,200 versus 18,770) than reflected in 

the existing ICR. 

Total burden hour estimates 

associated with studies are reduced 

because the estimated number of study 

submissions is reduced from 325 studies 

to 240. Burden estimates associated 

with the number of incident reports, 

however, are increased because of the 

increased volume of incident reporting 

(17%). Overall, considering both the 

decrease in studies and the increase in 

incidents, the total burden hours 

increased from 155,639 to 167,316. 

Dated: April 6, 2007.

comment period and addressed them in

EPA has established a public docket 

for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA–

HQ–OPP–2006–0631, which is available 

for online viewing at 

www.regulations.gov, or in person 

viewing at the OPP Regulatory Public 

Docket in Rm. S–4400, One Potomac

Title: Recordkeeping Requirements 

for Certified Applicators Using 1080 

Collars for Livestock Protection. 

ICR Status: This is a request to renew 

an existing approved collection. This 

ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 

2007. Under OMB regulations, the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. This ICR describes the nature of 

the information collection and its 

estimated burden and cost. 

Abstract: This ICR affects 

approximately 40 certified pesticide 

applicators who utilize 1080 toxic 

collars for livestock protection. Four 

states (Montana, New Mexico, South 

Dakota, and Wyoming) monitor the 

program, and five pesticide registrants 

are required to keep records of: (a) 

Number of collars purchased; (b) 

number of collars attached on livestock; 

(c) pasture(s) where collared livestock 

were placed; (d) number and locations 

of livestock found with ruptured or 

punctured collars and the apparent 

cause of the damage; (e) the dates of 

each attachment, inspection, and 

removal; (f) number, dates, and 

approximate location of all collars lost; 

(g) locations, and dates of all suspected 

poisonings of humans, domestic 

animals or non-target wild animals 

resulting from collar use location and 

species data on each animal poisoned as 

an apparent result of the toxic collar. 

Applicators maintain records, and the 

registrants/lead agencies do monitoring 

studies and submit the reports. These 

records are monitored by either the: (a) 

State lead agencies; (b) EPA regional 

offices; or (c) the registrants. The 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 

the Agency) receives annual monitoring 

reports from registrants or State lead 

agencies. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 9 hours per 

response for registrant respondents; 40 

hours per response for certified 

applicator respondents; and 77 hours 

per response for State agency 

respondents 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are pesticide and other 

agricultural manufacturers (NAICS 

325320), e.g., pesticide registrants 

whose products include 1080 collars; 

and government establishments 

primarily engaged in the administration 

of environmental quality programs 

(NAICS 9241), e.g., states implementing 

a 1080 collar monitoring program. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

49. 

Frequency of Response: Annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,953 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost: 

$70,261. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 200 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This increase reflects 

EPA’s estimate of increased numbers of 

certified applicators (from 35 certified 

applicators in 2003 to 40 in the current 

ICR). This change is an adjustment.
