Transfer of Information Potentially 

Containing Confidential Business 

Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This document announces 

that pesticide-related information 

submitted to the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), including information that 

may have been claimed as Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) by the 

submitter, will be transferred to the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ) and parties 

to certain litigation. This transfer of data 

is in accordance with the CBI 

regulations governing the disclosure of 

potential CBI in litigation. 

DATES: Access to this information by 

DOJ and the parties to certain litigation 

is ongoing and expected to continue 

during the litigation as discussed in this 

document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document is being provided pursuant to 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
5228 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 18 / Friday, January 26, 2024 / Notices 

40 CFR 2.209(d) to inform affected 

businesses that EPA, via DOJ, will 

provide certain information to the 

parties and the Court in the matter of 

Center for Food Safety, et al. v. U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, et al. 

(Case No. 1:23–cv–1633) (D.D.C.). The 

information is contained in documents 

that have been submitted to EPA 

pursuant to FIFRA and FFDCA by 

pesticide registrants or other datasubmitters, including information that 

has been claimed to be, or determined 

to potentially contain, CBI. In the 

pending litigation, petitioners seek 

judicial review of EPA’s decision of 

January 11, 2022, to extend the timelimited registrations for GF–3335 Enlist 

One, an herbicide containing the active 

ingredient 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic 

acid choline salt (‘‘2,4-D’’), and Enlist 

Duo an herbicide containing the active 

ingredients 2,4-D and glyphosate 

dimethylammonium salt (‘‘glyphosate’’), 

as well as EPA’s decision of March 29, 

2022, to allow use of those herbicides in 

additional counties. 

The documents are being produced as 

part of the Administrative Record of the 

decisions at issue and include 

documents that registrants or other datasubmitters may have submitted to EPA 

regarding the Enlist One and Enlist Duo 

pesticide products, and that may be 

subject to various release restrictions 

under federal law. The information 

includes documents submitted with 

pesticide registration applications and 

may include CBI as well as scientific 

studies subject to the disclosure 

restrictions of section 10(g) of FIFRA, 7 

U.S.C. 136h(d). 

All documents that may be subject to 

release restrictions under federal law are 

designated as ‘‘Protected Information’’ 

in the certified list of record materials 

and are designated as ‘‘Protected 

Information’’ under a Protective Order 

that the Court entered on December 19, 

2023. The Protective Order precludes 

public disclosure of any such 

documents by the parties in this action 

who have received the information from 

EPA, unless a party successfully obtains 

a de-designation as Protected 

Information of any portion of the 

Administrative Record via the 

procedure described in paragraph 6 of 

the Protective Order and limits the use 

of such documents to litigation 

purposes only. Further, paragraph 6(h) 

of the Protective Order states: ‘‘At any 

time, the court may de-designate any 

portion of the administrative record 

without advanced notice to the parties.’’ 

If filed with the Court, such documents 

would be filed under seal and would 

not be available for public review, 

unless the information contained in the 

document has been determined to not 

be subject to section 10(g) of FIFRA and 

all CBI has been redacted. 

At the conclusion of the litigation, the 

Protective Order requires that record 

material EPA designates as ‘‘Protected 

Information’’ be destroyed or returned 

to EPA.

information collection request (ICR), 

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery (EPA ICR Number 2434.204, 

OMB Control Number 2030–0051) to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. Before doing so, EPA is 

soliciting public comments on specific 

aspects of the proposed information 

collection as described below. This is a 

proposed extension of the ICR, which is 

currently approved through May 31, 

2024. This notice allows for 60 days for 

public comments. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before March 26, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID Number EPA– 

HQ–OMS–2023–0605, to EPA online

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 

20460. EPA’s policy is that all

(CBI) or other information whose 

disclosure is restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

proposed extension of the ICR, which is 

currently approved through May 31, 

2024. 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. 

This notice allows 60 days for public 

comments. Supporting documents, 

which explain in detail the information 

that the EPA will be collecting, are 

available in the public docket for this 

ICR. The docket can be viewed online 

at www.regulations.gov or in person at 

the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 

Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, 

Washington, DC. The telephone number 

for the Docket Center is 202–566–1744. 

For additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

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

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

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; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate forms of 

information technology. 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. At that 

time, EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity provides the Agency with an 

opportunity to efficiently engage its 

customers and stakeholders by gathering 

qualitative information about their 

interaction with Agency. Getting such 

feedback in a timely manner is critical 

if the Agency is to know how and where 

it should focus while seeking to
