Notification of Stored Pesticides With

Suspended or Canceled Registrations

Affected entities: This action affects

any producer or exporter of pesticides,

registrant of a pesticide, applicant for

registration of a pesticide, applicant for

or holder of an experimental use permit,

commercial applicator, any person who

distributes or sells any pesticide, or who

its registration suspended or canceled.

Title: Notification of Stored Pesticides

with Canceled or Suspended

Registrations Under Section 6(g) of the

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and

Rodenticide Act (EPA Form No.

1519.04), OMB Control Number 2070–

0109, Expiration Date: 8/31/97.

Abstract: Section 6(g) of the Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide

Act (FIFRA) requires any producer or

exporter of pesticides, registrant of a

pesticide, applicant for registration of a

pesticide, applicant for or holder of an

experimental use permit, commercial

applicator, or any person who

distributes or sells any pesticide, who

possesses any pesticide which has had

its registration suspended or canceled

under section 6 to notify the

Administrator and appropriate State and

local officials of: (1) Such possession;

(2) the quantity of such pesticide such

person possesses, and (3) the place at

which such pesticide is stored.

EPA may require affected persons to

submit information on the storage of

canceled or suspended pesticides

through FIFRA section 6 Suspension

and/or Cancellation orders or through

Notices published in the Federal

Register. The formats, procedures, and

identification of persons who must

submit FIFRA section 6(g) information

will appear in the Suspension/

Cancellation Order or Federal Register

Notice itself. The information required

by FIFRA section 6(g) will be used by

the Agency for compliance monitoring

purposes (identification of areas where

large amounts of suspended/canceled

products are being stored, inspection

targeting to assure adequate storage and

compliance with the terms of the

cancellation or suspension order,

inspections to confirm the adequacy of

the registrant’s recall plans, etc.),

indemnification determinations for

emergency suspended and canceled

products, the determination of disposal

burdens, to aid the FIFRA section 19

recall process, and to aid the Agency in

the development of a reimbursement

plan for the registrant’s costs for the

storage of canceled and suspended

pesticides which have been recalled

under FIFRA section 19.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR Part 9.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments 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.

Burden Statement:

Burden Hours per Response: 1.5 hours

per respondent which includes time for

reading the Federal Register or Notice

of Intent to Cancel, plan activities,

create and gather information, process

information, and record and report

information.

Frequency of Response: As necessary.

Burden estimates are based on an

estimate of 2 suspensions or

cancellations per year.

Number of Respondents: 104,000

respondents (52,000 potential

required to submit information per year.

Total Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping Burden: 156,000 hours.

2. Advisory Council on Clean Air

Compliance Analysis

The Advisory Council on Clean Air

Compliance Analysis (ACCACA, or the

‘‘Council’’) of the Science Advisory

Board (SAB) plans to hold four public

teleconferences on the dates and times

described below. All meetings are open

to the public, however, the number of

available phone lines is limited. For

further information concerning the

specific meetings described in this

notice, please contact the individuals

listed below. Documents that are the

subject of SAB reviews are normally

available from the originating EPA office

and are not available from the SAB

Office. These teleconferences are a

follow-up to earlier Council discussions

held on November 7 and 8, 1996

concerning the 1990 Clean Air Act

(CAA) Section 812 Retrospective and

Prospective Studies (See 61 FR, 54196,

Thursday, October 17, 1996).

The Council has allocated four dates

for public teleconferences to deal with

both the Retrospective and the

Prospective Studies. The dates, times,

and anticipated topical issues to be

discussed are listed as follows:

(a) Friday, March 14, 1997 (11:00 a.m.

to 2:00 p.m.): Prospective Study and

Retrospective Study: The major topic

planned for this teleconference is

review of the Prospective Study

emissions modeling assumptions,

methodology, results and

documentation. The Council will

provide advice to the Agency on the

validity and utility of the emissions

modeling data within the purposes of

the current Prospective Study. It is also

planned that logistical and scheduling

aspects of both the Prospective and

Retrospective Studies will be briefly

discussed during this public

teleconference. Some discussion may

occur on select Retrospective Study

issues at this teleconference. However,

the preferred plan is to keep these topics

separate, with this teleconference being

reserved primarily to deal with the

Prospective Study.

(b) Wednesday, March 19, 1997 (11:00

a.m. to 1:00 p.m.): Prospective Study

and Retrospective Study: The major

topics for this teleconference are to

complete review of the Prospective

Study emissions modeling assumptions,

methodology, results and

documentation (if more time is needed

after the discussions of March 14), and

to begin closure review on the

Retrospective Study issues. The timing

of which specific issues are to be

discussed at each teleconference will be

planned at this or the previous (March

14, 1997) teleconference, and will be

driven by the schedule of availability of

the Lead Discussants and other Council

participants. The Council identified a

number of Retrospective Study issue

areas, some of which are listed here as

follows: valuation of bronchitis and

heart disease; presentation of baseline

(‘‘but for’’ issues, that is, but for the

presence of the 1990 Clean Air Act),

choice of study for estimating PMrelated mortality (includes physical

effects); costs (operations and

maintenance costs, cost-of-clean, etc.);

ecological effects; valuing changes in

intelligence quotient (IQ) issues;

presentation of life years lost

calculations (life years remaining issue);

methodological effects; morbidity effects

by age; and research needs. Other

related issues are planned to be

discussed as time permits.

(c) Friday, March 21, 1997 (11:00 a.m.

to 2:00 p.m.): Retrospective Study: The

major topic of this teleconference is to

continue closure review on the

Retrospective Study issue areas

identified above. Specific issue areas

will be scheduled to match the

availability of the Lead Discussants and

other interested Council participants.

(d) Wednesday, March 26, 1997 (11:00

a.m. to 2:00 p.m.): Retrospective Study:

The major topic of this teleconference is

to continue closure review on the

Retrospective Study issue areas

identified above. If all the issue areas

have been discussed in the earlier

teleconferences, the Council members

may elect to cancel this session.

However, this time is being reserved for

the Council just in case they need

additional discussions to facilitate

closure on the Retrospective Study.

After the teleconference sessions are

complete, the Agency plans to revise the

Retrospective Study Report to Congress

and re-issue it to the entire Council and

the public for one final closure review

prior to submitting the document for

Executive Branch review and

subsequent submission to Congress.

Please contact the SAB staff (see

below) to determine the logistics and

details of the individual public

teleconference meetings, or if the later

planned meetings will be necessary.

Purpose of the Teleconferences

The specific topic of the Prospective

Study review is the draft emissions

modeling assumptions, methodology,
