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.

Dated: January 20, 2011. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

### 4659 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 26, 2011 / Notices

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 forindividuals or firms conducting leadbased paint activities or renovation in oron 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 orrenovations 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.
