Title: Notice of Arrival of Pesticides 

and Devices under section 17(c) of 

FIFRA. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0152.10, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0020. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on August 31, 2012. 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: The Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) regulations at 19 CFR 

12.112 require that an importer desiring 

to import a pesticide or device into the 

United States shall, prior to the 

shipment’s arrival in the United States, 

submit a Notice of Arrival of Pesticides 

and Devices (EPA Form 3540–1) to EPA. 

EPA Form 3540–1 requires the 

identification and contact information 

of parties involved in the importation of 

the pesticide or device and information 

on the identity of the imported pesticide 

or device shipment. EPA will review the 

form and indicate the disposition of the 

shipment upon its arrival in the United 

States. Upon completing Form 3540–1, 

EPA returns the form to the importer of 

record or authorized agent, who must 

present the form to CBP upon arrival of 

the shipment at the port of entry. This 

is necessary to ensure that EPA is 

notified of the arrival of pesticides and 

devices as required under FIFRA section 

17(c), and that EPA has the ability to 

examine such shipments to determine 

compliance with FIFRA. Upon the 

arrival of the shipment, the importer 

presents the completed Notice of Arrival 

(NOA) to the CBP District Director at the 

port of entry. CBP compares entry 

documents for the shipment with the 

NOA and notifies the EPA regional 

office of any discrepancies. 

During this renewal of this 

information collection, EPA is revising 

EPA Form 3540–1. The revisions clarify 

the instructions for completing the form, 

revise the data items, and update the 

terminology used on the form to be 

consistent with those used by CBP. In 

addition, EPA is capturing the burden of 

providing supplemental information 

submitted with Form 3540–1 to the 

Agency by most importers on a 

voluntary basis. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.43 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are individuals or entities that import 

pesticides into the United States. The 

North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
39704 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 129 / Thursday, July 5, 2012 / Notices 

assigned to the parties responding to 

this information collection include 

NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and 

Institutional Building Construction), 

Sector 11 (Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing 

and Hunting), and Sector 42 (Wholesale 

Trade). The majority of responses come 

from entities that fall under NAICS code 

325300 (Pesticide and Other 

Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

28,000. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

12,040. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$685,146, includes $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 4540 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is a result of an 

increase in the annual number of NOAs 

submitted and an increase in the burden 

hours per response. The average, annual 

number of NOAs submitted to EPA 

increased from 25,000 to 28,000. The 

average burden hours per response will 

change from 0.3 hours for the previous 

ICR renewal to 0.43 hours for this ICR 

renewal. This change in burden hours 

per response is a result of changes to the 

data items on EPA Form 3450–1, and 

well as an accounting of the burden of 

voluntarily submitting certain 

information. Specifically, this burden 

estimate accounts for the new burdens 

related to providing information for the 

telephone numbers and email addresses 

of the shipper, importer of record, and 

licensed customs broker, when 

supplying name and address 

information, and for the complete 

address, including telephone and email 

address, of the carrier be provided. In 

addition, EPA is accounting for the 

burden of voluntarily providing active 

ingredients and percentage of each, 

supporting documentation for registered 

and unregistered pesticides, as well as 

intended use information for 

unregistered pesticides. This change is 

an adjustment.
