Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 146 / Tuesday, August 3, 2021 / Notices 41837 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

agency may consider during the course 

of registration reviews. As part of the 

registration review process, the Agency 

has completed preliminary workplans 

for all pesticides listed in the Table in 

Unit IV. Through this program, the EPA 

is ensuring that each pesticide’s 

registration is based on current 

scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. 

III. Authority 

The EPA is conducting its registration 

review of the chemicals listed in the 

Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) 

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the 

Procedural Regulations for Registration 

Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. 

Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among 

other things, that the registrations of 

pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 

years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product 

may be registered or remain registered 

only if it meets the statutory standard 

for registration given in FIFRA section 

3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used 

in accordance with widespread and 

commonly recognized practice, the 

pesticide product must perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on the environment; that 

is, without any unreasonable risk to 

man or the environment, or a human 

dietary risk from residues that result 

from the use of a pesticide in or on food. 

IV. Registration Reviews 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

A pesticide’s registration review 

begins when the agency establishes a 

docket for the pesticide’s registration 

review case and opens the docket for 

public review and comment. Pursuant 

to 40 CFR 155.50, this notice announces 

the availability of the EPA’s preliminary 

work plans for the pesticides shown in 

the following table and opens a 60-day 

public comment period on the work 

plans. 

Registration review case name and No. Docket ID No. Chemical review manager and contact information 

Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and Oriental mustard seed, 

Case Number 7481.

EPA–HQ–OPP–2021–0251 Natalie Bray, Bray.Natalie@epa.gov, 703–347–8467. 

B. Docket Content 

The registration review docket 

contains information that the agency 

may consider in the course of the 

registration review. The agency may 

include information from its files 

including, but not limited to, the 

following information: 

• An overview of the registration 

review case status. 

• A list of current product 

registrations and registrants. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

any pending registration actions. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

current or pending tolerances. 

• Risk assessments. 

• Bibliographies concerning current 

registrations. 

• Summaries of incident data. 

• Any other pertinent data or 

information. 

Each docket contains a document 

summarizing what the agency currently 

knows about the pesticide case and a 

preliminary work plan for anticipated 

data and assessment needs. Additional 

documents provide more detailed 

information. During this public 

comment period, the agency is asking 

that interested persons identify any 

additional information they believe the 

agency should consider during the 

registration reviews of these pesticides. 

The agency identifies in each docket the 

areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

The registration review final rule at 40 

CFR 155.50(b) provides for a minimum 

60-day public comment period on all 

preliminary registration review work 

plans. This comment period is intended 

to provide an opportunity for public 

input and a mechanism for initiating 

any necessary changes to a pesticide’s 

workplan. All comments should be 

submitted using the methods in 

ADDRESSES, and must be received by the 

EPA on or before the closing date. These 

comments will become part of the 

docket for the pesticides included in the 

Table in Unit IV. Comments received 

after the close of the comment period 

will be marked ‘‘late.’’ The EPA is not 

required to consider these late 

comments. 

The agency will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may provide a ‘‘Response to 

Comments Memorandum’’ in the 

docket. The final registration review 

work plan will explain the effect that 

any comments had on the final work 

plan and provide the agency’s response 

to significant comments.

Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; National 

Fish Program (Renewal) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to 

submit an information collection 

request (ICR), ‘‘National Fish Program’’ 

(EPA ICR No. 1959.07, OMB Control No. 

2040–0226) to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing 

so, EPA is soliciting public comments 

on specific aspects of the proposed 

information collection as described 

below. This is a proposed extension of 

the ICR, which is currently approved

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: This ICR is for voluntary 

information collections under the 

national fish advisory program. These 

information collections would help EPA 

advance equitable and effective fish 

advisory programs that protect 

recreational and subsistence fishers and 

other underserved populations from 

consumption of contaminated fish. This 

information is collected under the 

authority of section 104 of the Clean 

Water Act, which provides for the 

collection of information to be used to 

protect human health and the 

environment. The information to be 

collected on a voluntary basis would 

include the following: Fish advisory 

information and fish tissue data 

collected to assist in making advisory 

decisions; state or tribal fish program 

information for the National Fish 

Advisory Program Evaluation; and, 

technical program information from 

time to time. EPA would analyze the 

information to determine what science, 

guidance, technical assistance, and 

nationwide information are needed to 

help state and tribes have equitable and 

effective fish advisory programs. In 

addition, EPA would also use the 

information provided to facilitate 

information sharing and to ensure 

guidance documents are useful and 

technically accurate. 

This ICR renews the EPA ICR Number 

1959.07, OMB Control No. 2040–0226, 

expiration April 30, 2022. This ICR 

renewal describes the estimated burden 

for states and authorized tribes 

associated with the information 

collections related to National Fish 

Program. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Potential respondents to this ICR 

include: The 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, the five territories, 

authorized tribes with EPA-approved 

WQS, and Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife 

Commission. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary (Clean Water Act, Section 

104). 

Estimated number of respondents: Up 

to 103 (total). 

Frequency of response: Once in 3-year 

period for some collections; periodically 

for one collection. 

Total estimated burden: 1,181 hours 

per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $64,766.66 per 

year. There are no capital or operation 

& maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is 

increase of 603 hours in the total 

estimated annual respondent burden 

compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This increase is due 

to EPA’s efforts to advance equity and 

environmental justice in fish advisory 

programs. EPA is adding information 

collections to help EPA determine what 

science, guidance, technical assistance, 

and nationwide information are needed 

to help state and tribes have equitable 

and effective fish advisory programs 

that protect recreational and subsistence 

fishers and other underserved 

populations from consumption of 

contaminated fish. In addition, EPA 

would also use the information 

provided to facilitate information 

sharing and to ensure guidance 

documents are useful and technically 

accurate. The increase pertains to the 

addition of three voluntary information 

collections as part of implementing the 

EPA national advisory program: 

Information on state and tribal fish 

advisories; state and tribal program 

information for the National Fish 

Advisory Program Evaluation; and, 

technical program information from 

time to time.
