SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

Recordkeeping Requirements for 

Producers, Registrants and Applicants 

of Pesticides and Pesticide Devices 

under Section 8 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (EPA ICR No. 0143.12, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0028) to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

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 June 30, 2014. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before May 16, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OECA–2014–0132, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to docket.oeca@

epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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,

Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the

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 automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 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: Producers of pesticides and 

pesticide devices must maintain certain 

records with respect to their operations 

and make such records available for 

inspection and copying as specified in 

Section 8 of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

and in regulations at 40 CFR Part 169. 

This information collection is 

mandatory under FIFRA Section 8. It is 

used by the Agency to determine 

compliance with the Act. The 

information is used by EPA Regional 

pesticide enforcement and compliance 

staffs, the Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance (OECA), and the 

Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) 

within the Office of Chemical Safety 

and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), as 

well as the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA), and other 

Federal agencies, States under 

Cooperative Enforcement Agreements, 

and the public. 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. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Producers of pesticides and pesticide 

devices for sale or distribution in or 

exported to the United States. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 169). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

11,600 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 23,200. 

Total estimated cost: $1,762,040. 

There are no annualized capital or O&M 

costs associated with this ICR since all 

equipment associated with this ICR is 

present as part of ordinary business 

practices. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 3,600 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is an adjustment 

due to a change in the number of 

respondents since the last ICR. 

Dated: March 7, 2014.

Director, Office of Compliance.
