September 28, 2021. The following 

information should be provided on the 

nomination form: Contact information 

for the person making the nomination; 

contact information for the nominee; 

and the disciplinary and specific areas 

of expertise of the nominee. Nominees 

will be contacted by the SAB Staff 

Office and will be asked to provide a 

recent curriculum vitae and a narrative 

biographical summary that includes: 

Current position, educational 

background; research activities; sources 

of research funding for the last two 

years; and recent service on other 

national advisory committees or 

national professional organizations. 

Persons having questions about the 

nomination procedures, or who are 

unable to submit nominations through 

the SAB website, should contact the 

DFO at the contact information noted 

above. The names and biosketches of 

qualified nominees identified by 

respondents to this Federal Register 

notice, and additional experts identified 

by the SAB Staff Office, will be posted 

in a List of Candidates for the Panel on 

the SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov. 

Public comments on the List of 

Candidates will be accepted for 21 days. 

The public will be requested to provide 

relevant information or other 

documentation on nominees that the 

SAB Staff Office should consider in 

evaluating candidates. 

For the EPA SAB Staff Office a 

balanced review panel includes 

candidates who possess the necessary 

domains of knowledge, the relevant 

scientific perspectives (which, among 

other factors, can be influenced by work 

history and affiliation), and the 

collective breadth of experience to 

adequately address the charge. In 

forming the expert panel, the SAB Staff 

Office will consider public comments 

on the Lists of Candidates, information 

provided by the candidates themselves, 

and background information 

independently gathered by the SAB 

Staff Office. Selection criteria to be used 

for panel membership include: (a) 

Scientific and/or technical expertise, 

knowledge, and experience (primary 

factors); (b) availability and willingness 

to serve; (c) absence of financial 

conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an 

appearance of a loss of impartiality; (e) 

skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; 

and, (f) for the panel as a whole, 

diversity of expertise and scientific 

points of view. 

The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of 

an absence of financial conflicts of 

interest will include a review of the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Environmental Protection 

Agency Special Government 

Employees’’ (EPA Form 3110–48). This 

confidential form is required and allows 

government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between a person’s public 

responsibilities (which include 

membership on an EPA federal advisory 

committee) and private interests and 

activities, or the appearance of a loss of 

impartiality, as defined by federal 

regulation. The form may be viewed and 

downloaded through the ‘‘Ethics 

Requirements for Advisors’’ link on the 

SAB website at https://sab.epa.gov. This 

form should not be submitted as part of 

a nomination. 

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects members for 

subcommittees and review panels is 

described in the following document:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 


sradovich on DSKJLST7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 7, 2021 / Notices 50115 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. 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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. What information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Title: Labeling Requirements for 

Certain Minimum Risk Pesticides under 

FIFRA Section 25(b). 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2475.04. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0187. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on April 30, 2022. 

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 Code 

of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Minimum risk pesticide 

products are not registered by EPA, 

therefore the product information 

associated with the pesticide 

registration process under section 3 of 

FIFRA are never submitted to EPA. 

Labeling requirements are the key 

component of the minimum risk 

exemption since this is the only 

information that enforcement 

authorities have to assess whether or not 

the product meets the exemption 

requirements. While EPA does not 

review these products, and therefore a 

Federal label review is not conducted, 

to maintain exemption status, an 

exempt product’s label must meet 

certain criteria. The Agency will reach 

out as required under 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1), to representatives from 

producers of minimum risk pesticide 

products that would be subjected to the 

labeling requirements under 40 CFR 

152.25(f). 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 5.5 hours per 

response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are individuals or entities engaged in 

activities related to the registration of 

pesticide products including 

manufacturers, distributers, retailers, 

and users of minimum risk pesticides. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 7. 

Frequency of response: One time. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 87. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

478.5 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$61,018.45. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $50,576.67 and an 

estimated cost of $9,963.28 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is an increase of $26,448.82 

labor costs in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with that 

identified in the ICR currently approved 

by OMB. This increase reflects the 

updated wage rates, the total labor costs 

increased from $156,606.53 to 

$183,055.35. 

In addition, OMB has requested that 

EPA move towards using the 18- 

question format for ICR Supporting 

Statements used by other federal 

agencies and departments and that is 

based on the submission instructions 

established by OMB in 1995, replacing 

the alternate format developed by EPA 

and OMB prior to 1995. The Agency 

does not expect this change in format to 

result in substantive changes to the 

information collection activities or 

related estimated burden and costs. 

IV. What is the next step in the process 

for this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
