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.

4. Request for nominations to serve as ad hoc members of FIFRA SAP for this meeting. As part of a broader process for developing a pool of candidates for each meeting, FIFRA SAP staff routinely solicits the stakeholder community for nominations of prospective candidates for service as ad hoc members of FIFRA SAP. Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals to be considered as prospective candidates for a specific meeting. Individuals nominated for this meeting should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: Corn pest entomology (biology and ecology), population genetics, insect resistance to pesticides, simulation modeling.

Nominees should be scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments on the scientific issues for this meeting. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, address, and telephone number. Nominations should be provided to the DFO listed under **FOR**
**FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT** on or before November 12, 2010. The Agency will consider all nominations of prospective candidates for this meeting that are received on or before this date. However, final selection of ad hoc members for this meeting is a discretionary function of the Agency.

The selection of scientists to serve on FIFRA SAP is based on the function of the panel and the expertise needed to address the Agency’s charge to the panel. No interested scientists shall be ineligible to serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory committee to a Federal department or agency or their employment by a Federal department or agency except EPA. Other factors considered during the selection process include availability of the potential panel member to fully participate in the panel’s reviews, absence of any conflicts of interest or appearance of lack of impartiality, independence with respect to the matters under review, and lack of bias. Although financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of lack of impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in disqualification, the absence of such concerns does not assure that a candidate will be selected to serve on FIFRA SAP. Numerous qualified candidates are identified for each panel. Therefore, selection decisions involve carefully weighing a number of factors including the candidates’ areas of expertise and professional qualifications and achieving an overall balance of different scientific perspectives on the panel. In order to have the collective breadth of experience needed to address the Agency’s charge for this meeting, the Agency anticipates selecting approximately 10–12 ad hoc scientists.

FIFRA SAP members are subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, as supplemented by EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. In anticipation of this requirement, prospective candidates for service on the FIFRA SAP will be asked to submit confidential financial information which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the candidate’s employment, stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support. EPA will evaluate the candidates financial disclosure form to assess whether there are financial conflicts of interest, appearance of a lack of impartiality or any prior involvement with the development of the documents under consideration (including previous scientific peer review) before the candidate is considered further for service on FIFRA SAP. Those who are selected from the pool of prospective candidates will be asked to attend the public meetings and to participate in the discussion of key issues and assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be asked to review and to help finalize the meeting minutes. The list of FIFRA SAP members participating at this meeting will be posted on the FIFRA SAP Web site at http://epa.gov/scipoly/sap or may be obtained from the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at http:// www.regulations.gov.
II. Background
A. Purpose of FIFRA SAP

FIFRA SAP serves as the primary scientific peer review mechanism of EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) and is structured to provide scientific advice, information and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on pesticides and pesticide-related issues as to the impact of regulatory actions on health and the environment. FIFRA SAP is a Federal advisory committee established in 1975 under FIFRA that operates in accordance with requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. FIFRA SAP is composed of a permanent panel consisting of seven members who are appointed by the EPA Administrator from nominees provided by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. FIFRA, as amended by FQPA, established a Science Review Board consisting of at least 60 scientists who are available to the SAP on an ad hoc basis to assist in reviews conducted by the SAP. As a peer review mechanism, FIFRA SAP provides comments, evaluations and recommendations to improve the effectiveness and quality of analyses made by Agency scientists. Members of FIFRA SAP are scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to provide expert advice and recommendation to the Agency.
B. Public Meeting

The Agency is currently evaluating the SmartStax TM Refuge-in-the-Bag (RIB) product, a multi-trait plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) corn seed blend consisting of a mixture of 95% Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn seed and 5% refuge corn seed for insect resistance management (IRM) of European corn borer (ECB), other lepidopteran corn pests, and corn rootworm. SmartStax TM RIB was developed jointly by the Monsanto Company and Dow AgroSciences, LLC. The focus of this FIFRA SAP will be on the SmartStax TM RIB IRM concept for ECB and other lepidopteran corn pests rather than on the rootworm. IRM considerations


### 66092 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 27, 2010 / Notices

associated with a Bt PIP corn seed blend targeting rootworm (a Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. product) were previously addressed in the February 2009 FIFRA SAP meeting ( http:// www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap/meetings/ 2009/february/232009finalreport.pdf ). During a February 1998 FIFRA SAP meeting (see http://www.epa.gov/ scipoly/sap/meetings/1998/february/ finalfeb.pdf ), the Panel concluded that seed mixes should not be considered as a viable IRM refuge option for ECB and corn earworm in Bt corn. The concern was that ECB larvae can move from plant to plant within corn fields (including from refuge plants to Bt plants and vice-versa) which could reduce the effectiveness of the seed blend at preventing pest resistance. Subsequent to the 1998 SAP, new biological data and simulation modeling were developed to support the potential use of a seed blend IRM strategy in Bt corn. EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs has considered these data and has utilized the Office of Research and Development (ORD) POPGEN model to evaluate the risk of ECB resistance developing in a seed blend environment. The Agency is requesting the FIFRA SAP to address scientific issues associated with the SmartStax TM RIB IRM strategy relative to the effectiveness of block refuges currently required for lepidopteran pests of Bt

corn. C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting Minutes
