SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Fulbright-Hays 

Seminars Abroad Program Application 

Package. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0501. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 300. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 5,400. 

Abstract: Application forms are to be 

used by the applicants under the 

Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad 

Program which provides opportunities 

for U.S. educators to participate in 

short-term study seminars abroad in the 

subject areas of the social sciences, 

social studies and the humanities. The 

changes suggested are minor, i.e. 

updating language to reflect the current 

seminars being offered and the 

electronic system being used to accept 

applications. A reduction in burden 

from the previously approved collection 

is anticipated as program funding cuts 

have decreased the numbers of 

applicants. In addition, the number of 

references that applicants are being 

asked to submit has been reduced from 

three to two.

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: Foreign Purchaser 

Acknowledgement Statement of 

Unregistered Pesticides. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 0161.13. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0027. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 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: This information collection 

request is designed to enable the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

to provide notice to foreign purchasers 

of unregistered pesticides exported from 

the United States that the pesticide 

product cannot be sold in the United 

States. Section 17(a)(2) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) requires an exporter of any 

pesticide not registered under FIFRA 

section 3 or sold under FIFRA section 

6(a)(1) to obtain a signed statement from 

the foreign purchaser acknowledging 

that the purchaser is aware that the 

pesticide is not registered for use in, and 

cannot be sold in, the United States. A 

copy of this statement must be 

transmitted to an appropriate official of 

the government in the importing 

country. This information is submitted 

in the form of annual or per-shipment 

statements to the EPA, which maintains 

original records and transmits copies 

thereof to appropriate government 

officials of the countries which are 

importing the pesticide. This 

information collection request also 

includes the burden imposed by export 

labeling requirements, which meet the 

definition of third-party disclosure. In 

addition to the export notification for 

unregistered pesticides, FIFRA requires 

that all pesticides include appropriate 

labeling. There are different 

requirements for registered and 

unregistered products. This information 

collection has been constant since the 

implementation of the 1993 pesticide 

export policy governing the export of 

pesticides, devices, and active 

ingredients used in producing 

pesticides. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average one to eight 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: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are individuals or entities that produce 

and export pesticides. The North 

American Classification System 

(NAICS) code assigned to the parties 

responding to this information 

collection is 325300. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 50. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 20–60. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

17,993 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $ 

1,224,655. There are no capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs for this information 

collection. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 6,477 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects EPA’s updating of 

burden estimates for this collection 

based upon historical information on 

the number of responses per year. Based 

upon revised estimates, the number of 

exported products has decreased from 

900 to 611, with a corresponding 

decrease in the associated burden. 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
