Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 37 / Thursday, February 24, 2022 / Notices 10361 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from a registrant to cancel 

7969–430 and 7969–432 pesticide 

products registered under FIFRA section 

3 (7 U.S.C. 136a) or 24(c) (7 U.S.C. 

136v(c)). These registrations are listed in 

sequence by registration number (or 

company number and 24(c) number) in 

Table 1 of this unit. 

Unless the Agency determines that 

there are substantive comments that 

warrant further review of the requests or 

the registrant withdraws their requests, 

EPA intends to issue an order in the 

Federal Register canceling all of the 

affected registrations.

III. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136d(f)(1)) provides that a registrant of 

a pesticide product may at any time 

request that any of its pesticide 

registrations be canceled. FIFRA further 

provides that, before acting on the 

request, EPA must publish a notice of 

receipt of any such request in the 

Federal Register. 

Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that before acting 

on a request for voluntary cancellation, 

EPA must provide a 30-day public 

comment period on the request for 

voluntary cancellation or use 

termination. In addition, FIFRA section 

6(f)(1)(C) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) 

requires that EPA provide a 180-day 

comment period on a request for 

voluntary cancellation or termination of 

any minor agricultural use before 

granting the request, unless: 

1. The registrants request a waiver of 

the comment period, or 

2. The EPA Administrator determines 

that continued use of the pesticide 

would pose an unreasonable adverse 

effect on the environment. 

The registrant in Table 2 of Unit II, 

has requested that EPA waive the 180- 

day comment period. Accordingly, EPA 

will provide a 30-day comment period 

on the proposed requests. 

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation should submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. 

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing 

Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products that are 

currently in the United States and that 

were packaged, labeled, and released for 

shipment prior to the effective date of 

the cancellation action. For this 

voluntary cancellation request, the 

registrant indicates that the products 

listed in Table 1 of Unit II are not in the 

channels of trade because they were 

never commercialized in the United 

States. Therefore, no existing stocks 

provision is needed. The cancellation 

will be effective on the date of 

publication of the cancellation order in 

the Federal Register. Thereafter, 

registrants will be prohibited from 

selling or distributing the pesticides 

identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except 

for export consistent with FIFRA section 

17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper 

disposal. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. 

Dated: February 17, 2022.

Acting Director, Registration Division, Office 

of Pesticide Programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that EPA will be 

collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at http://

www.regulations.gov. Out of an 

abundance of caution for members of 

the public and our staff, the EPA Docket 

Center and Reading Room is closed to 

the public, with limited exceptions, to 

reduce the risk of transmitting COVID– 

19. Our Docket Center staff will 

continue to provide remote customer 

service via email, phone, and webform.

Center is 202–566–1744. 

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: Pursuant to section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, in the first FR 

notice published on May 30, 2018, EPA 

solicited comments and information 

pertaining to the Continuous Release 

Reporting Requirements (CRRR) under 

Section 103(a) of CERCLA, as amended. 

CRRR requires the person in charge of 

a vessel or facility immediately to notify 

the National Response Center (NRC) of 

a hazardous substance release into the 

environment if the amount of the release 

equals or exceeds the substance’s 

reportable quantity (RQ). The RQ of 

every hazardous substance can be found 

in Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4. If the 

source and chemical composition of the 

continuous release do not change and 

the level of the continuous release does 

not significantly increase, a follow-up 

written report to the EPA Region one 

year after submission of the initial 

written report is also required. The 

person in charge must notify the NRC 

and EPA Region of a change in the 

source or composition of the release, 

and under section 103(a) of CERCLA, a 

significant increase must be reported 

immediately to the NRC. Finally, any 

change in information submitted in 

support of a continuous release 

notification must be reported to the EPA 

Region. Section 103(f)(2) of CERCLA 

provides facilities relief from peroccurrence notification release 

requirements if the subject release is 

continuous and stable in quantity and 

rate. 

The Continuous Release Reporting 

Requirement allows the Federal 

government to determine whether a 

Federal response action is required to 

control or mitigate any potential adverse 

effects to public health, welfare or the 

environment. The release information is 

also available to EPA program offices 

and other Federal agencies that evaluate 

the potential need for additional 

regulations, new permitting 

requirements for specific substances or 

sources, or improved emergency 

response planning. State and local 

government authorities and facilities 

subject to the CRRR use release 

information for local emergency 

response planning. The public, which 

has access to release information 

through the Freedom of Information 

Act, may request release information on 

what types of releases are occurring in 

different localities and what actions, if 

any, are being taken to protect public 

health, welfare and the environment. 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 burden estimates, numbers and 

types of respondents, wage rates and 

unit and total costs for this ICR renewal 

will be revised and updated, if needed, 

during the 60-day comment period 

while the ICR Supporting Statement is 

undergoing review at OMB. 

Form Numbers: EPA Form 6100–10, 

Continuous Release Reporting Form. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

not defined. The use and release of 

hazardous substances are pervasive 

throughout industry. EPA expects many 

different industrial categories to report 

hazardous substance releases under the 

provisions of the CRRR. No one industry 

sector or group of sectors is 

disproportionately affected by the 

information collection burden. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory if respondents want reduced 

reporting for continuous releases. See 

the abstract for details. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

4,192. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 334,472 

hours (average per year). Burden is 

defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $19,797,899 

(average per year), including $243,200 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs (average per year). 

Changes in estimates: Any change in 

burden or cost resulting from the 60-day 

OMB review period will be described 

and explained in this section when the 

updated ICR Supporting Statement is 

completed.

Director, Office of Emergency Management.
