confidential under 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart b, and will be disclosed only if EPA determines that the information is not entitled to confidential treatment. If no claim of confidentiality is asserted when the information is received by EPA, it may be made available to the public without further notice to the respondents (40 CFR 2.203). Individual reporting data may be claimed as sensitive and will be treated as confidential information in accordance with procedures outlined in 40 CFR
Part 2.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.3 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

The annual application, reporting, and recordkeeping burden is as follows: 52 applicants to the critical use exemption program at 1,976 hours per year; 4 producers and importers at a total of 188 hours per year (quarterly reporting); 75 distributors and applicators at 975 hours per year (annual reporting); and 2,000 end users at 575 hours per year (periodic certification of purchases of critical use methyl bromide at the time of each purchase). The total industry burden is therefore 3,714 hours per year.

The annual public application burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 38 hours per response (1,976 hours divided by 52 responses). The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.61 hours per response (1,738 hours divided by 2,846 responses). Overall, the total annual public burden (application, reporting, and recordkeeping) for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.3 hours per response (3,714 hours divided by 2,898 responses). The total annual labor cost burden associated with information collection request is $843,845. EPA estimates the costs as follows: Application costs totaling $199,299 per year, recordkeeping and reporting costs totaling $582,769 per year, and self certification by producers, importers, distributors, and end users costing $61,777 per year. EPA estimates the capital costs to be $0.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

There is a decrease of 1,203 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the EPA ICR 2031.03 which is currently approved by OMB. The reasons for the decrease in burden hours include a decrease in the number of applicants and a similar decline in the number of end users. Furthermore, stakeholders are more familiar with the critical use exemption program and have already organized associations to apply on behalf of multiple growers. Other reasons for burden reduction include the encouragement of electronic submission of applications and other data and frequent EPA communication with methyl bromide stakeholders.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Title: Safer Detergent Stewardship Initiative (SDSI) Program.

ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved collection that is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011. Under 5 CFR 1320.12(b)(2), the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.

Abstract: The Safer Detergent Stewardship Initiative is a voluntary program administered by EPA to offer resources and recognition to businesses involved in the transition to safer surfactants. Surfactants are a major ingredient in cleaning products such as detergents, cleaners, airplane de-icers and fire-fighting foams. Safer surfactants are those that break down quickly to non-polluting compounds.

Under SDSI, businesses that have fully transitioned to safer surfactants, or (for non-profits, academic institutions,

etc. ) can document outstanding efforts to encourage the use of safer surfactants, are granted Champion status. At this level, the participant is invited to the SDSI Awards ceremony, listed on the EPA SDSI Web site as a champion, and may use a special logo in their literature to help explain their participation in the program. Businesses that commit to a full and timely transition to safer surfactants, or (for non-profits, academic institutions, etc. ) can document outstanding efforts to encourage the use of safer surfactants, are granted Partner status. This category provides recognition of significant accomplishments towards the use of safer surfactants. Partners will be listed on the EPA SDSI Web site and may be granted recognition as a Champion in the future if appropriate.

Responses to the collection of information are voluntary. Respondents may claim all or part of a notice confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a CBI claim only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.

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, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are establishments or organizations engaged in formulating, producing, purchasing or distributing surfactants or products containing surfactants.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 1.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

14.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 140 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Costs: $7,770. Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects a decrease of 3,610 hours (from 3,750 hours to 140 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory. This decrease reflects improved estimates of the number of applications EPA expects to receive, based on actual experience in administering the SDSI program. The Supporting Statement provides details on the change in burden estimate. The change is an adjustment.
