ICR Title: Compliance Requirement 

for Child-Resistant Packaging. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0616.11, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0052. 

ICR status: The current OMB approval 

for this ICR is scheduled to expire on 

May 31, 2014. Under OMB regulations, 

the Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. 

Abstract: This information collection 

program is designed to provide EPA 

with assurances that the packaging of 

pesticide products sold and distributed 

to the general public in the United 

States meets standards set forth by the 

Agency pursuant to the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA). Registrants must certify to 

the Agency that the packaging or device 

meets these standards. Section 25(c)(3) 

of FIFRA authorizes EPA to establish 

standards for packaging of pesticide 

products and pesticidal devices to 

protect children and adults from serious 

illness or injury resulting from 

accidental ingestion or contact. The law 

requires that these standards are 

designed to be consistent with those 

under the Poison Prevention Packaging 

Act, administered by the Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (CPSC). 

Unless a pesticide product qualifies for 

an exemption, if the product meets 

certain criteria regarding toxicity and 

use, it must be sold and distributed in 

child-resistant packaging. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR include 

large and small entities engaged in 

manufacturing pesticide chemicals, 

wholesale merchandizing of pesticide 

products, or pest management activities. 

The North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes for 

respondents under this ICR include 

325320 (Pesticide and other Agricultural 

Chemical Manufacturing), 424690 

(Other Chemical and Allied Products 

Merchant Wholesalers), and 561710 

(Exterminating and Pest Control 

Services). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,733. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 5,507 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $ 306,880 (per 

year). There are no annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs 

associated with this information 

collection. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 614 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is an adjustment 

due to revised estimates of the burden 

per response and a net shift in the type 

of submissions. The estimated average 

burden per response increased from 

4.20 hours to 8.04 hours per submission. 

Based on comments received during 

consultations with stakeholders, EPA 

increased the burden per response for 

CRP certifications without data. The 

average burden per response is an 

average over all response types. In 

addition, there has been a change in the 

distribution of responses among the 

response types. Although the estimated 

number of responses for the current ICR 

renewal is expected to be is expected to 

decrease from 1,165 in the last ICR 

approval to 685, there is a net shift from 

less-burdensome (CRP certifications 

without data) to more-burdensome (CRP 

certifications with data) type responses.

1This ICR does not calculate the burden and costs 

associated with amendments related to the Phase I 

Rule (66 FR 65255, December 18, 2001; amended 

68 FR 36749, June 19, 2003), as the changes to the 

Phase I rule promulgated today do not materially 

affect the burden associated with compliance for 

Phase I facilities. See the 76 FR 22183 for a 

discussion of the amendments to the Phase I Rule. 

2For this ICR, no burden has been assigned for 

entrainment-related studies at § 122.21(r)(9)–(13) for 

facilities that withdraw less than 125 mgd actual 

intake flow, as it is not possible to project which 

facilities might be required to submit these studies. 

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. 

EPA ICR Number: 2060.07. 

OMB Control Number: 2040–0257. 

Abstract: The section 316(b) Existing 

Facility Final Rule applies to existing 

facilities that use cooling water intake 

structures to withdraw water from 

waters of the United States and have or 

require a National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) permit 

issued under section 402 of the Clean 

Water Act (CWA). If a facility meets the 

conditions specified below (from 40 

CFR 125.91), it is subject to the rule. If 

a facility has or requires an NPDES 

permit but does not meet the 2 million 

gallons per day (mgd) intake flow 

threshold, it is subject to permit 

conditions implementing CWA section 

316(b) developed by the NPDES permit 

director on a case-by-case basis using 

best professional judgment (BPJ). The 

rule applies to owners and operators of 

existing facilities that meet all of the 

following criteria: 

• The facility is a point source; 

• The facility uses or proposes to use 

one or more cooling water intake 

structures with a cumulative design 

intake flow (DIF) of greater than 2 mgd 

to withdraw water from waters of the 

United States; and 

• Twenty-five percent or more of the 

water the facility withdraws on an 

actual intake flow basis is used 

exclusively for cooling purposes. 

Generally, facilities that meet these 

criteria fall into two major groups: steam 

electric generating facilities and 

manufacturing facilities. The rule also 

makes limited corrections to the 

requirements for ‘‘Phase I’’ facilities 

(i.e., new facilities).1

The rule establishes national 

requirements applicable to the location, 

design, construction, and capacity of 

cooling water intake structures at 

existing facilities that reflect the best 

technology available for minimizing the 

adverse environmental impact— 

impingement and entrainment— 

associated with the use of these 

structures. The rule requires several 

types of information collection as part of 

the NPDES permit application. In 

general, the information would be used 

to identify both how the facility plans 

to meet the rule requirements and if the 

facility is meeting the rule requirements. 

Specific data requirements that apply to 

all facilities are: 

• Source water physical data which 

shows the physical configuration of all 

source waterbodies used by the facility, 

identifies and characterizes the source 

waterbody’s hydrological and 

geomorphological features, and provides 

location through maps [§ 122.21(r)(2)]. 

• Cooling water intake structure data 

which shows the configuration and 

location of cooling water intake 

structures, provides details on the 

design and operation of each cooling 

water intake structure, and diagrams 

showing flow distribution and water 

balance [§ 122.21(r)(3)]. 

• Source water baseline biological 

characterization data that characterizes 

the biological community in the vicinity 

of the cooling water intake structure 

(CWIS) and characterizes the operation 

of the CWIS [§ 122.21(r)(4)]. 

• Cooling water system data that, 

among other things, describes the 

operation of the cooling water system, 

its relationship to the CWIS, the 

proportion of the design intake flow 

used in the system, the number of days 

the cooling water system is operational 

and seasonal changes in operation, as 

well as design and engineering 

calculations to support these 

descriptions [§ 122.21(r)(5)]. 

• Intended method of compliance 

information that describes how the 

facility will meet the impingement 

mortality standards; the specific 

requirements vary, depending on the 

compliance approach chosen by the 

facility. This information would be 

reflected in the facility’s Impingement 

Technology Performance Optimization 

Study [§ 122.21(r)(6)]. 

• Description of any biological 

survival studies conducted at the 

facility and a summary of any 

conclusions or results for entrainment 

related studies only [§ 122.21(r)(7)]. 

• Operational status data that 

describes the operational status of each 

generating, production, or process unit 

[§ 122.21(r)(8)]. 

In addition to the above requirements, 

existing facilities with actual intake 

flows in excess of 125 mgd actual intake 

flow are required as part of the permit 

application process to submit an 

entrainment characterization study and 

related supporting information 

[(§ 122.21(r)(9)–(12)] that has been peer 

reviewed [§ 122.21(r)(13)]. Facilities that 

withdraw less than 125 mgd actual 

intake flow do not have specific permit 

application requirements for 

entrainment but the Director may 

require additional information on a sitespecific basis.2

Under the rule, a new unit at an 

existing facility that withdraws more 

than 2 mgd would have requirements 

similar to the requirements of a new 

facility in Phase I. A new unit (as 

defined at § 125.92(u)) is required to 

reduce flow commensurate with closedcycle cooling. Alternatively, a facility 

could demonstrate compliance with the 

entrainment control requirements by 

establishing reductions in entrainment 

mortality for the new unit that are 90 

percent or greater of the reductions that 

would be achieved by closed-cycle 

cooling. 

Finally, facilities are required to 

maintain records of all submitted 

documents, supporting materials, and 

monitoring results for at least five years. 

Depending on the compliance method 

chosen, facilities may also be required 

to perform compliance monitoring to 

demonstrate that their selected method 

of complying with the impingement 

mortality standard (e.g. screen velocity, 

actual intake flow, numeric 

impingement mortality performance) 

achieves the required performance. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents include existing electric 

power generating facilities, including 

traditional steam electric utilities and 

nonutility power producers. The rule 

also applies to existing manufacturing 

and industrial facilities. EPA anticipates 

that the regulated manufacturing 

facilities will be largely concentrated in 

five industrial sectors: Chemicals and 

allied products; primary metals 

industries; paper and allied products; 

petroleum and coal products; and food 

and kindred products. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory, under section 316 of the

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 102 / Wednesday, May 28, 2014 / Notices 30607 

Federal Water Pollution Control Act 

Amendments of 1972 (Pub. L. 92–500). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,115 (1,068 facility respondents and 47 

state respondents). 

Frequency of response: Varies 

(monthly, quarterly, or annually; every 

5 years). 

Total estimated burden: Total 

estimated burden is 634,596 hours (per 

year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $37,725,394 (per 

year), includes $8,525,907annualized 

capital and operation & maintenance 

costs (all costs in 2011 dollars). 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 388,925 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due to changes 

in program requirements. The currently 

approved ICR is for electric generators 

with a DIF of at least 50 mgd and that 

were subject to the 2004 Phase II rule. 

Many of these facilities have already 

met most of the new data collection 

requirements of the revised rule. Newly 

affected facilities have significantly 

fewer comprehensive requirements for 

data collection than was required under 

the Phase II rule, such as less frequent 

biological data collection. Further, 

while the overall universe of affected 

facilities has increased, more facilities 

in the affected universe already meet the 

requirements of the revised rule.

Title: Safer Detergent Stewardship 

Initiative (SDSI) Program. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2261.03, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0171. 

ICR Status: The current OMB 

approval for this ICR is scheduled to 

expire on May 31, 2014. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

Abstract: SDSI is a voluntary program 

administered by the 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 deicers 

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. This 

information collection addresses 

reporting activities that support the 

administration of the SDSI program. 

Responses to this collection of 

information are voluntary. Respondents 

may claim all or part of a response 

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 section 14 and 

40 CFR part 2. 

Form Numbers: EPA Form 6300–2. 

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. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 14 

(total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 140 hours per 

year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $8,232 per year, 

includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation and maintenance costs.
