Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping 

for Asbestos Abatement Worker 

Protection. 

ICR Status: This is a request to renew 

an existing approved collection that is 

currently scheduled to expire on 

January 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the date will be extended 

monthly and the Agency may continue 

to conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

Abstract: EPA’s asbestos worker 

protection rule is designed to provide 

occupational exposure protection to 

state and local government employees 

who are engaged in asbestos abatement 

activities in states that do not have state 

plans approved by the Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration 

(OSHA). The rule provides protection 

for public employees not covered by the 

OSHA standard from the adverse health 

effects associated with occupational 

exposure to asbestos. Specifically the 

rule requires state and local 

governments to monitor employee 

exposure to asbestos, take action to 

reduce exposure to asbestos, monitor 

employee health and train employees 

about asbestos hazards. 

The rule includes a number of 

information collection activities that are 

addressed in this ICR. State and local 

government agencies are required to 

provide employees with information 

about exposures to asbestos and the 

associated health effects. The rule also 

requires state and local governments to 

notify EPA before commencing any 

asbestos abatement project. State and 

local governments must maintain 

medical surveillance and monitoring 

records and training records on their 

employees, must establish a set of 

written procedures for respirator 

programs and must maintain procedures 

and records of respirator fit tests. EPA 

will use the information to monitor 

compliance with the asbestos worker 

protection rule. This request addresses 

these reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

763 Subpart G). Respondents may claim 

all or part of a record as CBI. EPA will 

disclose information that is covered by 

a CBI claim only to the extent permitted 

by, and in accordance with, the 

procedures in 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 about 0.3 hours per 

response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are state and local government 

employers in 25 states, the District of 

Columbia, and certain U.S. Territories 

that have employees engaged in 

asbestos-related construction, custodial 

and brake and clutch repair activities 

without OSHA-approved state plans. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 51. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 

22,488. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 363,523 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$13,982,371. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: This 

request reflects a net decrease of 39,226 

hours (from 402,749 hours to 363,523 

hours) in the total estimated respondent 

burden from that currently in the OMB 

inventory. This net decrease principally 

reflects the changed status of Illinois, 

which adopted an OSHA-approved state 

plan since the last ICR, reducing the 

number of affected states from 26 to 25 

(plus the District of Columbia). The 

Supporting Statement provides details 

on the change in burden estimate. The 

change is an adjustment.

Title: Plant-Incorporated Protectants; 

CBI Substantiation and Reporting Risk/ 

Benefit Information. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1693.07, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0142. 

ICR Status: The current OMB 

approval for this ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations at 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. This ICR is for an ongoing 

information collection activity. 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 Final Rule and in 

the Federal Register when approved, 

are listed in 40 CFR part 9 or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Abstract: This ICR addresses the two 

information collection requirements 

described in regulations pertaining to 

pesticidal substances that are produced 

by plants (plant-incorporated 

protectants (PIPs)) and which are 

codified in 40 CFR part 174. A PIP is 

defined as ‘‘the pesticidal substance that 

is intended to be produced and used in 

a living plant and the genetic material 

necessary for the production of such a 

substance.’’ Many, but not all, PIPs are 

exempt from registration requirements 

under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA). Registrants sometimes include 

in a submission to EPA for registration 

of a PIP information that they claim to 

be confidential business information 

(CBI). CBI is protected by FIFRA and 

generally cannot be released to the 

public unless authorized after following 

the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. Under 

40 CFR part 174, whenever a registrant 

claims that information submitted to 

EPA in support of a registration 

application for PIPs contains CBI, the 

registrant must substantiate such claims 

when they are made. In addition, 

manufacturers of PIPs that are otherwise 

exempted from the requirements of 

registration must report risk benefit 

information of the PIP to the Agency. 

Such reporting will allow the Agency to 

determine whether further action is 

needed to prevent unreasonable adverse 

effects to public health and the 

environment. Submission of this 

information is mandatory and supplied 

on occasion. 

Burden Statement: The annual 

respondent burden for the collection of 

information associated with the 

substantiation at the time of submission 

for CBI claims related to a PIP 

registration application is estimated to 

average 21.5 hours per submission, and 

the annual respondent burden for the 

collection of information associated 

with the reporting of adverse effects for 

exempted PIPs is estimated to average 7 

hours per submission. Burden is defined 

in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The following is a 

summary of the burden and cost 

information for this ICR: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Producers and importers of PIPs. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

18. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

389. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$26,875.00. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 86 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is an adjustment 

resulting from an increase in the 

estimated number of PIPs applications. 

EPA expects that the level of activity 

will continue.
