the Information Collection Request (ICR)
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 7, 1996 / Notices 20521

listed below is coming up for renewal.

Before submitting the renewal package

to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB), EPA is soliciting comments on

specific aspects of the collection as

described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: United States

Environmental Protection Agency;

Office of Enforcement and Compliance

Assurance; Enforcement Capacity and

Outreach Office (2201A); 401 M Street,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected Entities: Entities affected by

this action are those States, Territories,

and Indian Tribes which have entered

into cooperative agreements with the

Agency for pesticide enforcement and/

or for certification and training

activities.

Title: Pesticides Enforcement and

Applicator Certification Cooperative

Agreement Output Projections/

Quarterly Accomplishments Reporting

Form; (OMB Control No. 2070–0113);

EPA ICR No. 1547; Expires August 31,

1996. This is a request for an extension

of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: This information collection

request is for EPA Form 5700–33H, the

Pesticides Enforcement and Applicator

Certification Cooperative Agreement

Output Projections/Quarterly

Accomplishments Reporting Form. This

reporting form is required from States,

Territories, and Tribes (States) that have

cooperative agreements (grants) with the

Office of Enforcement and Compliance

Assurance (OECA) and/or the Office of

Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic

Substances (OPPTS) under the authority

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,

and Rodenticide Act, sections 23(a)(1)

and (2), 26(a), and 11(a)(2)(D). The

reporting form is used by grantees to

report: a) the number and type of

inspections projected and completed,

the number and type of samples

expected to be taken and actually

collected, the number and type of

enforcement actions taken; and b) the

number and type of applicators

projected to be trained, certified, and

recertified and the number and type

actually trained, certified, and

recertified during a specific period of

time and according to recertification

periods.

States submit the completed forms to

their EPA Regional Office, where it is

entered into a data base. The

information is used to evaluate whether

planned activities are actually

accomplished, whether the activities

undertaken are commensurate with

grant funding levels, to ensure that

adequate coverage is given to the entire,

broad scope of compliance and

enforcement activities, and to provide a

basis for adjusting enforcement plans

throughout the year, dependent on

emerging situations. Additionally the

training, certification, and

recertification information is also used

to determine if funding levels are

adequate, to determine if a State’s

Certification Plan is being implemented,

and to afford a basis for adjustment as

needed.

The information collected under this

ICR is not confidential and will be

provided upon request by writing to the

address listed above. 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 are listed in 40 CFR Part 9

and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

The Agency needs to obtain the

information required by this

information collection in order to

determine (1) if the activities planned

are commensurate with the proposed

funding level, (2) if the planned

activities adequately cover the scope of

enforcement and certification and

training activities that correspond to a

strong pesticide program, (3) if planned

activities are actually implemented, and

4) if planned activities need to be

adjusted to fit changing circumstances.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments 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 the information on those

who 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.

Estimating the Burden and Cost of the

Collection

Estimating Respondent Burden

The estimates for developing and

providing to EPA the information found

in Form 5700–33H are based upon

discussions with State pesticide

regulatory officials. The information

collection involves two groups of

respondents: 70 respondents complete

projections and report enforcement

accomplishments (Group A); and 55

respondents complete certification and

training reports (Group B). The type of

information being collected and

reported on 5700–33H is that which a

State Pesticide Agency would already be

maintaining as a part of the State’s

competent management of a Federallyfunded grant program. Completion of

the enforcement/certification and

training activities projection report is

estimated to take four hours. The total

number of hours to complete the

quarterly enforcement accomplishment

reports is 20 hours, while it takes six

hours to execute the certification

accomplishments report and three hours

to document annually the total number

of certified applicators by category.

Estimating Respondent Cost

The cost to respondents to provide the

information collected under this ICR is

estimated to be minor. The Agency did

not have approximate hourly rates for

State employees and therefore in

calculating costs EPA substituted hourly

labor rates for Federal managers

($76.00), Technical ($55.00), and

clerical support ($25.00).

Estimating Agency Burden Cost

The costs to the Government to

process, analyze, and maintain the

information requested in Form 5700–

33H is based on four work hours per

report received [five reports from each

respondent in Group A, and three

reports from each respondent in Group

B annually], and ten hours of

Headquarters personnel at an average

GS–9 Step 4 grade plus 10.4% estimated

overhead costs. Other direct costs are

limited to printing costs for the

reporting form. The number of

respondents is based upon the number

of States, Tribes and Territories that

have entered into cooperative

agreements with the Agency.
20522 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 7, 1996 / Notices

Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs

The estimates of costs for Form 5700–

33H are discussed below. The annual

burden costs for respondents consist of

reading instructions, compiling

information, completing forms, and

filing the forms with EPA. The total

time associated with providing the

enforcement activity projections and

quarterly accomplishments reports is 24

hours, times 70 respondents, which

equals 1680 hours at an annual cost of

$25,200.00. The total time associated

with providing the certification and

training activities projections and

semiannual accomplishment reports is

nine hours, times 55 respondents,

which equals 495 hours at an annual

cost of $7425.00. The entire annual cost

of this collection is $32,625.00.

Send comments regarding these

matters, or any other aspect of the

information collection, including

suggestions for reducing the burden, to

the address listed above.

Dated: April 24, 1996.

Director, Office of Compliance, Office of

Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
