SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA 

submitted the following ICR to OMB for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.), and the procedures in 5 

CFR 1320.12. Prior Public Notice: 

Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d), EPA 

announced and provided a 60-day 

public comment period on the 

information collection activities as 

described in this ICR (78 FR 36774, June 

19, 2013). EPA received two public 

comments which are posted in the 

docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2013–0287 for 

this action. This notice allows for an 

additional 30 days for public comments. 

ICR Status: This is a renewal for a 

currently approved ICR. This ICR is 

currently scheduled to expire on 

February 28, 2014. Under the PRA, 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, 

are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

included on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. 

Abstract: Pesticide registrants are 

required by statute to pay an annual 

registration maintenance fee for all 

products registered under Section 3 and 

Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 

In addition, the Pesticide Registration 

Improvement Act (PRIA) amended 

FIFRA in 2004 to create a registration 

service fee system for applications for 

specific pesticide registration, amended 

registration, and associated tolerance 

actions (Section 33). This ICR 

specifically covers the activities related 

to the collection of the annual 

registration maintenance fees, the 

registration service fees and the burden 

associated with the submission of 

requests for fees to be waived. 

Form Numbers: EPA Form 8570–30— 

Pesticide Registration Fee Filing Form. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR are 

pesticide and other agricultural 

chemical manufacturers, other basic 

inorganic chemical manufacturers, other 

basic organic chemical manufacturers, 

and regulators of agricultural marketing 

commodities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Responses to this collection of 

information are required to obtain or 

retain a benefit (i.e., registration of a 

pesticide). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1744 

Frequency of response: Annual and 

on occasion. 

Total estimated annual burden: 7,907 

hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated annual cost: $535,728 

For both programs. 

Changes in the Estimates: The total 

annual respondent burden increased by 

342 hours for the Pesticide Product 

Maintenance fees program and also 

increased 303 hours for the Pesticide 

Registration Service Fee waivers 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

increase reflects a slight increase in the 

number of requests submitted to the 

agency. This change is an adjustment.

EPA ICR Number: 0220.12. 

OMB Control Number: 2040–0168. 

Abstract: Section 404(g) of the Clean 

Water Act (CWA) authorizes States [and 

Tribes] to assume the section 404 permit 

program for discharges of dredged or fill 

material into certain Waters of the U.S. 

This ICR covers the collection of 

information EPA needs to perform its 

program approval and oversight 

responsibilities and the State/Tribe 

needs to establish and implement its 

program. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

those States/Tribes requesting 

assumption of the CWA section 404 

permit program; States/Tribes with 

approved assumed programs; and 

permit applicants in States/Tribes with 

assumed programs. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 

CFR 233). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

EPA anticipates 2 States/Tribes will 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
4690 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 19 / Wednesday, January 29, 2014 / Notices 

request program assumption; there will 

be approximately 14,000 permit 

applications (3,500 applications per 

state); and 4 States/Tribes which have 

assumed the program (the two current 

programs and potentially two who may 

be approved under this ICR) which will 

submit an annual report. 

Frequency of response: States/Tribes 

will respond one time to request 

assumption and once the program is 

approved they will respond annually for 

the annual permit and annual report; 

permit applicants will respond one time 

when requesting a permit. 

Total estimated burden: The public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to be 90,960 hours (per year). 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: Costs to states 

for assumed Section 404 permit 

programs will vary widely by state and 

permit, however there are $0 capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 10,400 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is because the 

estimated number of permits reviewed 

by a state per year decreased. This 

decrease is based on the experience of 

the state of New Jersey, due in part to 

a change in the economy and to a 

recalculation in the number of permits 

estimated. There was an increase in the 

number of hours spent reviewing each 

permit, due to an increase in the 

number of times applicants requested a 

review of mitigation options. The 

estimate used here is a weighted average 

of Michigan’s and New Jersey’s 

estimates.

EPA ICR #: 1808.07. 

OMB Control #: 2020–0007. 

Abstract: The Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) regulations 

at 40 CFR part 8, Environmental Impact 

Assessment of Nongovernmental 

Activities in Antarctica (Rule), were 

promulgated pursuant to the Antarctic 

Science, Tourism, and Conservation Act 

of 1996 (Act), 16 U.S.C. 2401 et seq., as 

amended, 16 U.S.C. 2403a, which 

implements the Protocol on 

Environmental Protection (Protocol) to 

the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 (Treaty). 

The Rule provides for assessment of the 

environmental impacts of 

nongovernmental activities in 

Antarctica, including tourism, for which 

the United States is required to give 

advance notice under Paragraph 5 of 

Article VII of the Treaty, and for 

coordination of the review of 

information regarding environmental 

impact assessments received from other 

Parties under the Protocol. Persons 

subject to the Rule must prepare 

environmental documentation to 

support the operator’s determination 

regarding the level of environmental 

impact of the proposed expedition. The 

Protocol and the Rule also require an 

operator to employ procedures to assess 

and provide a regular and verifiable 

record of the actual impacts of an 

activity which proceeds on the basis of 

an Initial Environmental Evaluation 

(IEE) or Comprehensive Environmental 

Evaluation (CEE). 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

operators. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 8). 

Estimated number of respondents: 18. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 1,254 hours. 

Total estimated cost: $100,575 (per 

year) includes $3,390 annualized capital 

or operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 454 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is the result of a 

change to the level of environmental 

documentation EPA anticipates the 

operators will submit as well as an 

anticipated decrease of operators 

submitting documentation.
