Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 38 / Friday, February 25, 2022 / Notices 10783 

Activity reporting in 2017 through 2018 

provided an opportunity for 

comprehensive Inventory listing review. 

Persons have had more than sufficient 

time and opportunity to review their 

Inventory listings and request Inventory 

corrections for eligible situations. 

Moreover, the Agency currently receives 

few requests, many of which are 

rejected or otherwise cannot be 

processed for the reasons described 

above. The Agency therefore believes 

that continuing to allow Inventory 

corrections will not improve the 

accuracy of the Inventory. As a result, 

EPA is taking this action to end 

company-requested Inventory 

corrections. 

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act 

According to the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq., an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

that requires OMB approval under the 

PRA, unless it has been approved by 

OMB and 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 included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

This document does not contain any 

new information collection 

requirements that would require 

additional OMB review and approval. 

The information collection activities 

related to the potential submission of 

information pursuant to TSCA section 5 

already has been approved by OMB 

under OMB Control No. 2070–0145 

(EPA ICR No. 1741.08). The annual 

respondent burden for this information 

collection activity is estimated to 

average 39 hours per respondent, 

including time for reading the 

regulations, processing, compiling and 

reviewing data, storing, filing, and 

maintaining the data. For additional 

details, please see the Information 

Collection Request document that is 

available in the docket. 

Send any comments about the 

accuracy of the burden estimate, and 

any suggested methods for further 

minimizing respondent burden, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques, to the Director, 

Regulatory Support Division, Office of 

Mission Support (2822T), 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 

20460–0001. Please remember to 

include the OMB control number in any 

correspondence, but do not submit any 

inventory corrections or related 

questions to this address. 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2604.

Abstract: EPA administers 

certification programs for pesticide 

applicators under section 11 of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 

et seq. FIFRA allows EPA to classify a 

pesticide as ‘‘restricted use’’ if the 

pesticide meets certain toxicity or risk 

criteria. The regulations in 40 CFR part 

171 include procedures for certification 

programs for States, Federal agencies, 

Indian tribes, or U.S. territories who 

wish to develop and implement their 

own certification plans and programs, 

after obtaining EPA approval. This ICR 

addresses the information collection 

activities contained in the final rule 

revisions to 40 CFR part 171, issued in 

the Federal Register on January 4, 2017 

(82 FR 952) (FRL–9956–70). The ICR 

estimates the incremental burden of the 

changes that were not already included 

in the ICR entitled ‘‘Certification of 

Pesticide Applicators’’ as approved 

under OMB No: 2070–0029. 

The final rule revised 40 CFR part 171 

to include new and revised standards 

for certification for commercial and 

private applicators, provisions for 

recertification of applicators, and 

training for noncertified applicators 

applying restricted use pesticides 

(RUPs) under the supervision of 

certified applicators. The rule also 

includes changes to improve the clarity 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
10784 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 38 / Friday, February 25, 2022 / Notices 

and organization of 40 CFR part 171 and 

overall program operation. The changes 

are intended to ensure that all persons 

who use RUPs—i.e., private applicators, 

commercial applicators, and 

noncertified applicators using RUPs 

under the direct supervision of certified 

applicators—are competent to use RUPs 

in a manner that will not result in 

unreasonable adverse effects to 

themselves, others, or the environment. 

This ICR estimates the burden and 

costs of the rule-related information 

collection activities, including burden 

and cost estimates related to initial rule 

familiarization activities. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Agricultural establishments, pest 

control officials, pesticide registrants, 

pesticide dealers, and administrators of 

environmental protection programs, 

governmental pest control programs, 

pesticide applicator certification 

programs (e.g., authorized agencies), 

and RUP dealers (only for EPA 

administrated programs). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory, FIFRA sections 3 and 11. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,860,974 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 2,280,849 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $108,061,898 

(per year), includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: Apart from 

updating the format of the ICR to meet 

current format standards and a few 

minor changes, there are no substantive 

changes from the ICR currently 

approved by OMB.

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

Collaborative Research Program To 

Support New Chemical Reviews; 

Notice of Public Meeting and Request 

for Comments 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is holding a virtual public 

meeting to seek individual input on the 

proposed Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) New Chemicals Collaborative 

Research Program. This virtual meeting 

will be held over 2 half days. In 

addition, EPA is announcing the 

availability of and soliciting public 

comment on the draft document entitled 

‘‘Modernizing the Process and Bringing 

Innovative Science to Evaluate New 

Chemicals Under TSCA.’’ The Office of 

Chemical Safety and Pollution 

Prevention (OCSPP) is proposing to 

develop and implement a multi-year 

collaborative research program focused 

on approaches for performing risk 

assessments on new chemical 

substances under TSCA. This effort will 

be performed in partnership with the 

Agency’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD) and other federal 

entities to leverage their expertise and 

resources. The results of the effort are 

expected to bring innovative science to 

new chemical reviews, modernize the 

approaches used, and increase the 

transparency of the information 

underpinning the human health and 

ecological risk assessment process. 

DATES: 

Virtual Public Meeting: Will be held 

virtually on April 20 and 21, 2022, from
