Title: Plant-Incorporated Protectants; 

CBI Substantiation and Reporting Risk/ 

Benefit Information. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1693.07, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0142. 

ICR Status: The current OMB 

approval for this ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 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: This ICR addresses the two 

information collection requirements 

described in regulations pertaining to 

pesticidal substances that are produced 

by plants (plant-incorporated 

protectants (PIPs)) and which are 

codified in 40 CFR part 174. A PIP is 

defined as ‘‘the pesticidal substance that 

is intended to be produced and used in 

a living plant and the genetic material 

necessary for the production of such a 

substance.’’ Many, but not all, PIPs are 

exempt from registration requirements 

under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA). Registrants sometimes include 

in a submission to EPA for registration 

of a PIP information that they claim to 

be confidential business information 

(CBI). CBI is protected by FIFRA and 

generally cannot be released to the 

public unless authorized after following 

the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. Under 

40 CFR part 174, whenever a registrant 

claims that information submitted to 

EPA in support of a registration 

application for PIPs contains CBI, the 

registrant must substantiate such claims 

when they are made. In addition, 

manufacturers of PIPs that are otherwise 

exempted from the requirements of 

registration must report risk benefit 

information of the PIP to the Agency. 

Such reporting will allow the Agency to 

determine whether further action is 

needed to prevent unreasonable adverse 

effects to public health and the 

environment. Submission of this 

information is mandatory and supplied 

on occasion. 

Burden Statement: The annual 

respondent burden for the collection of 

information associated with the 

substantiation at the time of submission 

for CBI claims related to a PIP 

registration application is estimated to 

average 21.5 hours per submission, and 

the annual respondent burden for the 

collection of information associated 

with the reporting of adverse effects for 

exempted PIPs is estimated to average 7 

hours per submission. Burden is defined 

in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The following is a 

summary of the burden and cost 

information for this ICR: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Producers and importers of PIPs. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

18. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

389. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$26,875.00. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 86 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is an adjustment 

resulting from an increase in the 

estimated number of PIPs applications. 

EPA expects that the level of activity 

will continue.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

PRA, 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

Title: TSCA Section 402 and Section 

404 Training and Certification, 

Accreditation and Standards for LeadBased Paint Activities and Renovation, 

Repair, and Painting. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1715.13, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0155. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on October 31, 

2011. 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 (ICR) combines information 

collection activities defined in existing 

ICRs 1715.09 (ICR for lead-based paint 

activities), 1715.10 (ICR addendum for 

the 2008 Renovation, Repair and 

Painting final rule), and 1715.12 (ICR for 

the 2010 Renovation, Repair and 

Painting opt-out and recordkeeping final 

rule) covering the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for 

individuals or firms conducting leadbased paint activities or renovation in or 

on houses, apartments, or childoccupied facilities built before 1978, 

under the authority of sections 402 and 

404 of the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2682, 2684). 

Sections 402(a) and 402(c)(3) of TSCA 

require EPA to develop and administer 

a training and certification program as 

well as work practice standards for 

persons who perform lead-based paint 

activities and/or renovations. The 

current regulations in 40 CFR part 745, 

subpart E, cover work practice 

standards, recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements, individual and firm 

certification, and enforcement for 

renovations done in target housing or 

child-occupied facilities. The current 

regulations in 40 CFR part 745, subpart 

L, cover inspections, lead hazard 

screens, risk assessments, and 

abatement activities (referred to as 

‘‘lead-based paint activities’’) done in 

target housing and child-occupied 

facilities. The current regulations in 40 

CFR part 745, subpart Q, establish the 

requirements that State or Tribal 

programs must meet for authorization to 

administer the standards, regulations, or 

other requirements established under 

TSCA section 402. Section 401 of TSCA 

defines target housing as any housing 

constructed before 1978 except housing 

for the elderly or disabled or 0-bedroom 

dwellings. 

Sections 402(a) and 402(c)(3) of TSCA 

require reporting and/or recordkeeping 

from four entities: Firms engaged in 

lead-based paint activities or 

renovations in target housing and childoccupied facilities; individuals who 

perform lead-based paint activities in 

target housing and child-occupied 

facilities; training providers; and States/ 

territories/Tribes/Alaskan native 

villages. This information collection 

applies to the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements outlined in 

this Abstract section. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 745). Respondents may claim all or 

part of a document 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 range between 0.8 and 9.9 

hours per response, depending upon the 

category of the respondent. 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: 367,815. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: Varies. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

3,312,524 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$149,223,301. This includes an 

estimated burden cost of $149,223,301 

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 497,229 hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This decrease reflects: EPA’s revisions 

to the estimated number of respondents 

based on the number of respondents 

reporting to the Agency under the prior 

information collection, EPA’s revisions 

to per-activity burden estimates to 

simplify some assumptions and to make 

estimation methods consistent, and 

characterization as Agency burden; 

some burden elements that had 

previously been described as 

respondent burden. See the supporting 

statement for details about revisions to 

burden estimates. 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. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.
