EPA received one comment, which is addressed in the ICR package submitted to OMB. As required by the PRA, EPA is hereby soliciting additional comments on this ICR, which should be submitted to EPA and OMB within 30 days of this notice.

Title: Notification of Chemical Exports—TSCA Section 12(b)

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0795.14, OMB Control No. 2070–0030.

ICR Status: EPA is requesting the renewal of the currently approved ICR, which is currently approved through March 31, 2013. The ICR, which is abstracted below, describes the nature of the information collection and its estimated burden and cost. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

Abstract: Section 12(b)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires that any person who exports or intends to export to a foreign country a chemical substance or mixture that is regulated under TSCA sections 4, 5, 6 and/or 7 submit to EPA notification of such export or intent to export. Upon receipt of notification, EPA will advise the government of the importing country of the U.S. regulatory action with respect to that substance. EPA uses the information obtained from the submitter via this collection to advise the government of the importing country. This information collection addresses the burden associated with industry reporting of export notifications. The respondent may claim all or part of a notice confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA and 40 CFR Part 2.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 1.1 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here:

Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are


### 7778 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 23 / Monday, February 4, 2013 / Notices

companies that export chemical substances.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory.

Estimated number of respondents: 240 (total).

Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated annual burden: 4,025 hours per year.

Total estimated annual cost: $245,246 per year, includes $0 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 825 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease represents the net effect of a decrease in the estimated number of notices sent to EPA and a decrease in the number of firms sending notices, which is based on EPA’s recent experience with TSCA section 12(b) notices. This change is an adjustment. The Supporting Statement provides additional detail concerning the change in burden estimate.

Abstract: The Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP or ‘‘the program’’ hereinafter) is an EPA voluntary program implemented by Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP). PESP’s goal is to promote environmental stewardship to protect human health and the environment in accordance with Section 2(b) of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. 13101(b) that ‘‘pollution should be prevented or reduced at the source whenever feasible,’’ and Section 3 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) which requires EPA to regulate pesticides to prevent ‘‘unreasonable adverse effects.’’ The program encourages the use of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to make the best stewardship choices from a series of pest management practices. It allows for economical pest management, and does so with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment.

This new information collection request (ICR) enables EPA to implement IPM through partnerships with its members which are pesticide user entities, and organizations which focus on training, educating, or influencing pesticide users. To become a PESP member, a pesticide user entity or an organization submits an application and a five-year strategy. The program uses the information collected to establish partner membership, develop stewardship strategies, offer technical assistance, measure progress towards stewardship goals, and award incentives. The stewardship strategy outlines how environmental and human health risk reduction goals will be achieved through the implementation of IPM, or through educating others on IPM. PESP encourages its members to track progress towards IPM goals: Reduced use of unnecessary pesticides, realize cost reductions, and share knowledge about IPM methodologies.

EPA has implemented procedures to protect any confidential, trade secret or proprietary information from disclosure that provide strict instructions regarding access to and contact with documents confidential business information (CBI). These procedures comply with EPA’s CBI regulations at 40 CFR part 2.

Form Numbers: PESP Membership Application Form (EPA Form 9600–02); Strategy/Reporting Form for PESP Members that are Not Commercial/ Residential Pest Control Services (EPA Form No. 9600–01); PESP Strategy/ Progress Reporting Form for Residential/ Commercial Pest Control Service Providers (EPA Form No. 9600–03).

Respondents/affected entities: Pesticide user companies and organizations, or entities that represent them, that are committed to reducing risks from pests and pesticides by practicing IPM; companies or organizations that promote the use of IPM through education and training. Below is a list of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and associated industries that may be affected by information collection requirements covered under this ICR. This list is intended to be illustrative; entities from other industries may elect to apply for recognition through PESP. However, EPA expects that most applications will come from the following industries:
