Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 7, 2010 / Notices 54339 

Title: State Review Framework. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2185.04, 

OMB Control No. 2020–0031. 

ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on April 30, 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 CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and 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: The State Review 

Framework (‘‘Framework’’) is an 

oversight tool designed to assess state 

performance in enforcement and 

compliance assurance. The Framework’s 

goal is to evaluate state performance by 

examining existing data to provide a 

consistent level of oversight and 

develop a uniform mechanism by which 

EPA Regions, working collaboratively 

with their states, can ensure that state 

environmental agencies are consistently 

implementing the national compliance 

and enforcement program in order to 

meet agreed-upon goals. Furthermore, 

the Framework is designed to foster 

dialogue on enforcement and 

compliance performance between the 

states that will enhance relationships 

and increase feedback, which will in 

turn lead to consistent program 

management and improved 

environmental results. The Framework 

is described in the April 26, 2005, 

Federal Register Notice (79 FR 21408) 

[http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/ 

pdf/05–8320.pdf]. This amendment will 

allow OECA to collect information from 

enforcement and compliance files 

reviewed during routine on-site visits of 

state or local agency offices that will 

assist in the evaluation of the State 

Review Framework implementation 

from FY 2011 to the end of FY 2013. 

This request will allow EPA to make 

inquiries to assess the State Review 

Framework process, including the 

consistency achieved among the EPA 

Regions and states, the resources 

required to conduct the reviews, and the 

overall effectiveness of the program. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 612 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 54. 

Frequency of response: Once every 

four years. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

11,016 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$393,343. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $0 for capital investment 

or maintenance and operational costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There has 

been no increase in the hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. There has 

been an increase in the cost in the total 

estimated respondent burden based on 

rates from the Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) ‘‘2010 General 

Schedule.’’ 

Dated: August 26, 2010.

Title: Compliance Requirement for 

Child-Resistant Packaging. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0616.10, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0052. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2010. 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: This ICR is designed to 

provide the EPA with assurances that 

the packaging of pesticide products sold 

and distributed to the general public in 

the United States meets standards set 

forth by the Agency pursuant to the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Unless a 

pesticide product qualifies for an 

exemption, if the product meets certain 

criteria regarding toxicity and use, it 

must be sold and distributed in childresistant packaging. Section 25(c)(3) of 

FIFRA authorizes EPA to establish 

standards for packaging of pesticide 

products and pesticidal devices to 

protect children and adults from serious 

illness or injury resulting from 

accidental ingestion or contact. The law 

requires that these standards are 

designed to be consistent with those 

under the Poison Prevention Packaging 

Act, administered by the Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (CPSC). 

Pesticide registrants must certify to the 

Agency that the packaging or device 

meets these standards. EPA reviews a 

registrant’s child-resistant packaging 

(CRP) certification to determine if there 

are human safety/health risk concerns. 

Exemption requests are reviewed to 

ascertain if there is a health risk, and if 

CRP is technically feasible, practicable, 

and appropriate. 

Responses to this collection of 

information are mandatory under 

authority of 40 CFR part 157.34. 

Although submission of confidential 

information is not required as a part of 

this information collection, there has 

been at least one instance where 

confidential data have been submitted 

voluntarily as supporting material for an 

exemption request from CRP 

compliance requirements. When any 

trade secret or Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) is provided to EPA, 

such information is protected from 

disclosure under section 10 of FIFRA. 

Data submitted to EPA is handled 

strictly in accordance with the 

provisions of the FIFRA Confidential 

Business Information Manual. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4.2 hours per 

response. The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here, and is 

available in the public docket. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: All 

registrants of pesticide products meeting 

the use criteria which trigger ChildResistant Packaging (CRP) requirements. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

1,165. 

Frequency of Response: On Occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,893. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$261,237. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 1,420 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase reflects EPA’s 

expectation of an increase in the 

number of responses driven by an influx 

of CRP certifications associated with the 

implementation of the registration 

review program. In addition, the 

exclusive use period for certain 

pesticide chemicals is expiring. 

Registrants with products using these 

chemicals will now be required to 

provide their own CRP test data, which 

will have to be reviewed for human 

safety/health risk concerns. The total 

burden hours per response for 

compliance with the CRP requirements 

decreased from 4.94 hours to 4.20 hours. 

The average burden estimate for CRP 

exemptions has increased. However, the 

distribution of responses has changed, 

resulting in a net shift from more 

burdensome to less burdensome type 

responses. This change is an 

adjustment.
