Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 6, 2017 / Notices 42095 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

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

comments.html. 

C. How can I get copies of this 

document and other related 

information? 

A copy of the draft PR notice is 

available in the docket under docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– 

OPP–2016–0671. 

II. What guidance does this PR Notice 

provide? 

This draft PR Notice provides 

guidance to the registrant concerning 

the process for notifications, nonnotifications and minor formulation 

amendments. This proposed notice 

updates and clarifies the scope of 

changes accepted by notification, nonnotification and minor formulation 

amendments for all pesticide products. 

This notice supersedes both PR Notices 

95–2 and 98–10 in their entirety. As per 

40 CFR 152.46, EPA may determine that 

certain minor modifications to a 

registration having no potential to cause 

unreasonable adverse effects to the 

environment may be accomplished by 

notification or without notification to 

the Agency. Since the issuance of PR 

Notice 98–10, various regulatory and 

statutory changes have taken place. In 

particular, the Pesticide Registration 

Improvement Act (PRIA), the Pesticide 

Registration Improvement Renewal Act 

(PRIA 2), Pesticide Registration 

Improvement Extension Act (PRIA 3), 

and pending Pesticide Registration 

Enhancement Act of 2017 (PRIA 4) has 

resulted in a need for EPA to revise the 

notification procedures. Certain actions 

previously accepted under PR Notice 

98–10 are now actions scheduled by the 

PRIA action tables. EPA is issuing this 

notice to align the notification program 

with the requirements of the Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA) and 

PRIA and to clarify the processes for 

accepting minor, low risk registration 

amendments to be accomplished 

through notification, non-notification or 

as accelerated amendments, previously 

established in PR Notice 98–10. EPA 

believes these changes will be useful to 

registrants as it presents a clarified and 

consolidated explanation for 

accomplishing these registration 

changes. No significant impacts or costs 

are expected as a result of this proposed 

PR Notice. However, the Agency is 

especially requesting impacted parties 

to provide through comments available 

information on projected cost 

implications of this draft updated 

guidance. The Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA) burdens associated with revisions 

to the PR Notice are accounted for in the 

current ICR entitled: Application for 

New and Amended Pesticide 

Registration, OMB ICR 2070–0060; EPA 

No. 0277.17. As noted above, no 

increase or decrease in the current PRA 

burden inventory is anticipated. 

III. Do PR Notices contain binding 

requirements? 

The PR Notice discussed in this 

notice is intended to provide guidance 

to EPA personnel and decision makers 

and to pesticide registrants. While the 

requirements in the statutes and Agency 

regulations are binding on EPA and the 

applicants, this PR Notice is not binding 

on either EPA or pesticide registrants, 

and EPA may depart from the guidance 

where circumstances warrant and 

without prior notice. Likewise, pesticide 

registrants may assert that the guidance 

is not appropriate generally or not 

applicable to a specific pesticide or 

situation.

Committee (CAAC) to receive a briefing 

from the EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) on 

the content and presentation of 

assessment products to be released at 

early stages of development of draft 

assessments. These products represent 

an update to the materials released for 

the purposes of early stakeholder 

engagement, as outlined in the ‘‘IRIS 

enhancements’’ (2013). These materials 

are expected to add transparency to 

draft assessment development, while 

simultaneously increasing throughput 

and responsiveness to Agency needs. 

DATES: The public face-to-face meeting 

will be held from Wednesday, 

September 27, 2017 through Thursday, 

September 28, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. to 

5:00 p.m., (Eastern time) daily.

member of the public wishing to obtain 

further information concerning the 

meeting may contact Dr. Suhair Shallal, 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB 

Staff Office, by telephone at (202) 564– 

0257 or shallal.suhair@epa.gov. General

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB was 

established pursuant to the 

Environmental Research, Development, 

and Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDAA) codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA 

and EPA policy, notice is hereby given 

that the SAB CAAC will hold a public 

meeting to receive a briefing from the 

EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) on 

the content and presentation of 

assessment products to be released at 

early stages of draft development. These 

products represent an update to the 

materials released for the purposes of 

early stakeholder engagement, as 

outlined in the ‘‘IRIS enhancements’’ 

(2013). These materials are expected to 

add transparency to draft assessment 

development, while simultaneously 

increasing throughput and 

responsiveness to Agency needs. The 

CAAC will provide advice to the 

Administrator through the chartered 

SAB. 

The NCEA continues to incorporate 

improvements in response to 

recommendations from the National 

Research Council and the SAB to (1) 

improve the scientific integrity of 

assessments; (2) improve the 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
42096 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 6, 2017 / Notices 

productivity of the program; and (3) 

increase transparency so issues are 

identified early in the process. 

Information about this program is 

available at: https://www.epa.gov/iris. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Additional background on this SAB 

activity, the meeting agenda, and other 

materials for the meeting will be posted 

on the SAB Web site at http://

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to the EPA. 

Members of the public can submit 

relevant comments pertaining to the 

meeting materials or the group 

conducting this SAB activity. Input 

from the public to the SAB will have the 

most impact if it consists of comments 

that provide specific scientific or 

technical information or analysis for 

SAB committees and panels to consider 

or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy 

of the technical information. Members 

of the public wishing to provide 

comment should contact the DFO 

directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public meeting will be 

limited to five minutes per speaker. 

Interested parties wishing to provide 

comments should contact Dr. Suhair 

Shallal, DFO (preferably via email) at 

the contact information noted above by 

September 20, 2017, to be placed on the 

list of public speakers for the meeting. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements will be accepted throughout 

the advisory process; however, for 

timely consideration by Committee 

members, statements should be 

supplied to the DFO (preferably via 

email) at the contact information noted 

above by September 20, 2017. It is the 

SAB Staff Office general policy to post 

written comments on the Web page for 

the advisory meeting. Submitters are 

requested to provide an unsigned 

version of each document because the 

SAB Staff Office does not publish 

documents with signatures on its Web 

sites. Members of the public should be 

aware that their personal contact 

information, if included in any written 

comments, may be posted to the SAB 

Web site. Copyrighted material will not 

be posted without explicit permission of 

the copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Suhair 

Shallal at (202) 564–0257 or at 

shallal.suhair@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Shallal preferably at least ten 

days prior to the meeting, to give EPA 

as much time as possible to process 

your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of
