Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 7, 2011 / Notices 76401 

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 598 hours per 

response for research involving 

intentional exposure of human subjects, 

and 12 hours per response for all other 

submitted research with human 

subjects. 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 information 

requirements identified in the final rule 

do not duplicate other federal agency 

information collections. 

The ICR, a copy of which is available 

in the docket, provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 54. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

20,572 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$1,712,833. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $1,712,833 and no 

additional cost for non-burden hour 

paperwork costs, e.g., investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

Changes in the estimates from the last 

approval: The renewal of this ICR will 

not result in a change in the number of 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden identified in the currently 

approved ICR. 

B. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2011–0902 

Title: Consumer Research through 

Focus Groups to Develop Improved 

Labeling for Pesticide Products. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2367.02. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0175. 

ICR status: The approval for this ICR 

is scheduled to expire on August 31, 

2012. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this ICR are members of the 

general public who volunteer to 

participate in a focus group. 

Abstract: EPA intends to renew a 

voluntary information collection for 

consumer research involving the use of 

focus groups to test various versions of 

pesticide product labels and other 

informational materials intended for the 

general public. The purpose of this 

research is to identify the consumer’s 

understanding of the information on a 

pesticide product label to assure that the 

consumer can effectively use this 

information to select the pesticide 

product most likely to meet their needs 

and can readily understand label 

instructions regarding the safe use, 

handling, and disposal of the product. 

The collected information will be used 

to inform the Agency on the need for 

and nature of potential revisions to EPA 

guidance and regulations regarding 

pesticide product labels and to create 

other user-friendly consumer 

information materials. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2 hours per 

response. The ICR, a copy of which is 

available in the docket, provides a 

detailed explanation of this estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 300. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

200 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $6,014. 

There are no capital expenditures or 

operational and maintenance costs 

associated with this collection activity. 

Changes in the estimates from the last 

approval: The renewal of this ICR will 

result in an overall decrease of 181.34 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden identified in the currently 

approved ICR. This decrease reflects 

EPA’s actual costs of conducting a series 

of 10 focus groups in 2010. This change 

is an adjustment. 

V. What is the next step in the process 

for these ICRs? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the individual ICRs 

as appropriate. The final ICR packages 

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 these ICRs to OMB and 

the opportunity for the public to submit 

additional comments for OMB 

consideration. If you have any questions 

about any of these ICRs or the approval 

process in general, please contact the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

Title: NESHAP for Cellulose Products 

Manufacturing (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1974.06, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0488. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2011. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 

Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP), for Cellulose Products 

Manufacturing were proposed on 

August 28, 2000 (65 FR 52166) and 

promulgated on June 11, 2002 (67 FR 

40043). These standards apply to any 

existing, reconstructed, or new affected 

sources. These standards apply to each 

operation that is a major source of 

hazardous air pollutants (HAP), which 

includes both the miscellaneous viscose 

processes source category and the 

cellulose ethers productions source 

category. The viscose process includes 

the cellulose food casing, rayon, 

cellulosic sponge, and cellophane 

operations, and the cellulose ethers 

includes all of the cellulose ether 

operations. Respondents of affected 

sources are subject to the requirements 

of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, the 

General Provisions, unless the 

regulation specifies otherwise. 

Owners or operators must submit 

notification that the facility is subject to 

the rule; notification of performance 

test; notification of compliance status 

(including results of performance tests 

and other initial compliance 

demonstrations) and the semiannual 

compliance report. Owners or operators 

of cellulose products manufacturing 

facilities subject to the rule must 

maintain a file of these measurements, 

and retain the file for at least five years 

following the date of such 

measurements, maintenance reports, 

and records. 

All reports are sent to the delegated 

state or local authority. In the event that 

there is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUU, as 

authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that have been 

determined to be private. 

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 the EPA regulations are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR 

chapter 15, and are identified on the 

form and/or instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 141 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Cellulose products manufacturing. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

13. 

Frequency of Response: Weekly, 

semiannually, and occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

12,088. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,258,056, which includes $1,257,042 

in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, 

and $1,014 in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours in this ICR as 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years; and 

(2) the growth rate according to the 

industry sources is very low, negative, 

or non-existent, so there is no 

significant change in the overall burden. 

There are no new facilities expected to 

be constructed over the next three years 

of this ICR. 

However, there is an increase in the 

estimated burden cost as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. The increase is not 

due to any program changes. The 

change in burden is due to the use of the 

most updated labor rates.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
