PROCEDURES REQUIREMENTS 

Environmental Evaluation 

Western’s proposal to better define 

evaluation criteria and procedures for 

resource acquisition is an administrative 

action covered by an existing NEPA 

categorical exclusion. A categorical 

exclusion has been prepared and 

executed for this process. Once projectspecific actions are identified under the 

Final Principles of IRP and the final 

evaluation criteria developed through 

the process defined, those actions 

would be individually subject to the 

appropriate level of NEPA review. 

Factors affecting the level of NEPA 

review include whether the projectspecific action would integrate a new 

generation resource, precipitate changes 

to the transmission system, or change 

the normal operating limits of existing 

generation resources. 

Determination under Executive Order 

12866 

Western has an exemption from 

centralized regulatory review under 

Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no 

clearance of this notice by the Office of 

Management and Budget is required. 

Dated: June 22, 2011.

Administrator.

Title: Implementation of the Oil 

Pollution Act Facility Response Plan 

Requirements (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1630.10, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0135. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on June 30, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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: Under section 311(j)(5) of 

the Clean Water Act, as amended by the 

Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and in 

regulation codified at 40 CFR 112.20 

and 112.21, EPA requires that owners or 

operators of facilities storing oil create 

and maintain updated Facility Response 

Plans (FRP) in order to identify the 

necessary resources to respond to an oil 

spill in a timely manner. If implemented 

effectively, the FRP will reduce the 

impact and severity of oil spills and 

may prevent spills through the 

identification of risks at the facility. 

Although the owner or operator is the 

primary data user, EPA also uses the 

data in certain situations to ensure that 

facilities comply with the regulation 

and to help allocate response resources. 

State and local governments may use 

the data, which are not generally 

available elsewhere and can greatly 

assist local emergency preparedness 

planning efforts. EPA reviews all 

submitted FRPs and must approve FRPs 

for those facilities whose discharges 

may cause significant and substantial 

harm to the environment in order to 

ensure that facilities believed to pose 

the highest risk have planned for 

adequate resources and procedures to 

respond to a spill. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average 1 hour per response for the 

Partner Registration Form, 34.5 hours 

per response for the Partner Annual 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 125 / Wednesday, June 29, 2011 / Notices 38149 

Assessment Form, 3 hours per response 

for the Endorser Registration Form, and 

5 hours per response for the Endorser 

Annual Assessment Form. This results 

in an estimated annual partner 

respondent burden of 51 hours for new 

partners, 48 hours for established 

partners, 7 hours for new endorsers, and 

3 hours for established endorsers. 

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: 

Businesses, not-for-profit institutions, 

and State, Local, or Tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

22,865. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

463,419. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$19,415,628, includes $31,736 

annualized capital costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 30,792 hours from the 

currently approved burden. This is due 

to an observed increase in the number 

of facilities which must create and 

maintain an FRP.

Title: Certification of Pesticide 

Applicators. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0155.10, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0029. 

ICR Status: The current OMB 

approval for this ICR is scheduled to 

expire on July 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations at 5 CFR 1320.12(b)(2), the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. This ICR is for an ongoing 

information collection activity. 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 Final Rule and in 

the Federal Register when approved, 

are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Abstract: Under section 11 of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA 

administers certification programs for 

pesticide applicators. FIFRA allows EPA 

to classify a pesticide as ‘‘restricted use’’ 

if the pesticide meets certain toxicity or 

risk criteria. This ICR addresses the 

paperwork activities performed by 

various EPA-authorized agencies of 

States and Indian tribal governments, as 

well as federal agencies (collectively 

referred to in this document as 

‘‘authorized agencies’’), and activities 

performed by individuals and firms in 

the course of training and certifying 

persons who apply restricted use 

pesticides. 

Because of their potential to harm 

human health or the environment, 

restricted use pesticides may be 

purchased and applied only by a 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
