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.

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. Background 

Registration review is EPA’s periodic 

review of pesticide registrations to 

ensure that each pesticide continues to 

satisfy the statutory standard for 

registration, that is, the pesticide can 

perform its intended function without 

unreasonable adverse effects on human 

health or the environment. As part of 

the registration review process, the 

Agency has completed proposed interim 

decisions for all pesticides listed in the 

Table in Unit IV. Through this program, 

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 

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. What action is the Agency taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice 

announces the availability of EPA’s 

proposed interim registration review 

decisions for the pesticides shown in 

Table 1 and opens a 60-day public 

comment period on the proposed 

interim registration review decisions.

The registration review docket for a 

pesticide includes earlier documents 

related to the registration review case. 

For example, the review opened with a 

Preliminary Work Plan, for public 

comment. A Final Work Plan was 

placed in the docket following public 

comment on the Preliminary Work Plan. 

The documents in the dockets 

describe EPA’s rationales for conducting 

additional risk assessments for the 

registration review of the pesticides 

included in the tables in Unit IV, as well 

as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings 

and consideration of possible risk 

mitigation measures. These proposed 

interim registration review decisions are 

supported by the rationales included in 

those documents. Following public 

comment, the Agency will issue interim 

or final registration review decisions for 

the pesticides listed in Table 1 in Unit 

IV. 

The registration review final rule at 40 

CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum 

60-day public comment period on all 

proposed interim registration review 

decisions. This comment period is 

intended to provide an opportunity for 

public input and a mechanism for 

initiating any necessary amendments to 

the proposed interim decision. All 

comments should be submitted using 

the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be 

received by EPA on or before the closing 

date. These comments will become part 

of the docket for the pesticides included 

in the Tables in Unit IV. Comments 

received after the close of the comment 

period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ 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 interim registration review 

decision will explain the effect that any 

comments had on the interim decision 

and provide the Agency’s response to 

significant comments. 

Background on the registration review 

program is provided at: http://
