II. What information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Title: Soil and Non-Soil Fumigant 

Risk Mitigation. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2451.03, 

and OMB Control No. 2070–0197. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2023. 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, after appearing in the Federal 

Register when approved, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal 

Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as with the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers for 

certain EPA regulations in title 40 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Pursuant to section 4(g) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA 

determined that several soil and nonsoil fumigants are eligible for 

reregistration only if specific risk 

mitigation measures are adopted and 

adequately implemented. This ICR 

documents the PRA activities for users, 

registrants, and participating states to 

implement fumigant risk mitigation 

measures for the chemicals identified in 

this document. 

The PRA burden activities discussed 

in this ICR include: registrant activities 

to develop and implement training for 

fumigators in charge of fumigations, 

develop and disseminate safety 

information for handlers, develop and 

implement community outreach and 

education programs, and develop and 

implement first responder training; and 

labeling activities for fumigant products; 

including user posting requirements 

concerning fumigant applications 

around the use site, providing notice of 

soil fumigant applications to applicable 

states, preparing a Fumigant 

Management Plan (FMP) and PostApplication Summary (PAS) as needed, 

participating in an EPA-approved 

fumigant training program, and 

disseminating fumigant safe handling 

information to handlers. 

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. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average from a range of 0.8 

to 13.9 hours per response. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR are soil 

and non-soil fumigant users, specifically 

certified applicators and agriculture 

pesticide handlers North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) code 111000—Agriculture, 

Forestry, Fishing and Hunting); soil and 

non-soil fumigant registrants (NAICS 

325300—Pesticide, Fertilizer, and Other 

Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing); 

and state and tribal lead agencies 

(NAICS 999200—State Government). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under FIFRA section 

3(c)(2)(B). 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 118,436 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 5. 

Estimated total annual estimated 

burden hours: 1,159,232 hours (per 

year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$31,979,828 (per year), includes 

$1,060,214 annualized capital or 

operation and maintenance costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is an increase of 8,336 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that currently approved 

by OMB. This increase is due to the 

update in the estimated number of 

applicators certified and handlers for 

soil and non-soil fumigations. There is 

also a decrease in burden costs for both 

types of fumigation due to updating the 

wages to the current 2021 data provided 

by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

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 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
