SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), 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 information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Title: Submission of Protocols and 

Study Reports for Environmental 

Research Involving Human Subjects. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2195.05. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0169. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 31, 2016. 

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 Code 

of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible 

for the regulation of pesticides under 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA). As revised in 2006 and 2013, 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 26 

protect subjects of ‘‘third-party’’ human 

research (i.e., research that is not 

conducted or supported by EPA).1 In 

addition to other protections, the 

regulations require affected entities to 

submit information to EPA and an 

institutional review board (IRB) prior to 

initiating, and to EPA upon the 

completion of, certain studies that 

involve human research participants. 

The information collection activity 

consists of activity-driven reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for those 

who intend to conduct research for 

submission to EPA under the pesticide 

laws. If such research involves 

intentional dosing of human subjects, 

these individuals (respondents) are 

required to submit study protocols to 

EPA and a cognizant local Human 

Subjects IRB before such research is 

initiated so that the scientific design 

and ethical standards that will be 

employed during the proposed study 

may be reviewed and approved. Also, 

respondents are required to submit 

information about the ethical conduct of 

completed research that involved 

human subjects when such research is 

submitted to EPA. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2,131 hours per 

response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Any 

entity that submits protocols and study 

reports for environmental research 

involving human subjects under FIFRA 

and/or FFDCA. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 5 annually for research 

involving intentional exposure of 

human subjects and 10 annually for all 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 247 / Thursday, December 24, 2015 / Notices 80361 

other submitted research with human 

subjects. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

10,595 hours for research involving 

intentional exposure of human subjects, 

and 120 hours for all other submitted 

research with human subjects. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$948,655. This includes $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

III. Changes in the Estimates 

There is a decrease of 4,238 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease is due to a decrease in 

anticipated number of responses per 

year. This change is an adjustment. 

IV. 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 document 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
