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. ’’

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, itmust 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 meetingthe 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.
