DRAFT RISK ASSESSMENTS BEING MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT—Continued 

Registration review case name and number Docket ID No. Chemical review manager and contact information 

Trifloxystrobin, Case Number 7028 ............... EPA–HQ–OPP–2013–0074 Moana Appleyard, appleyard.moana@epa.gov (703) 308–8175. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c), EPA is 

providing an opportunity, through this 

notice of availability, for interested 

parties to provide comments and input 

concerning the Agency’s draft human 

health and/or ecological risk 

assessments for the pesticides listed in 

the Table in Unit III. Since an ecological 

risk assessment for the pyrethroids, 

including etofenprox, gammacyhalothrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, 

permethrin, pyrethrins, and taufluvalinate, was previously published 

for comment in the Federal Register in 

November 2016, this Notice is 

announcing the availability of the 

human health risk assessments for these 

chemicals. For imidacloprid, a 

preliminary pollinator only risk 

assessment was completed in January 

2016 and an aquatic species only 

ecological risk assessment was 

completed in January 2017. Both of 

these were previously published for 

comment in the Federal Register and 

thus this Notice is announcing the 

availability of the human health 

assessment for imidacloprid. The 

Agency will consider all comments 

received during the public comment 

period and make changes, as 

appropriate, to a draft human health 

and/or ecological risk assessment. EPA 

may then issue a revised risk 

assessment, explain any changes to the 

draft risk assessment, and respond to 

comments. In the Federal Register 

notice announcing the availability of the 

revised risk assessment, if the revised 

risk assessment indicates risks of 

concern, the Agency may provide a 

comment period for the public to submit 

suggestions for mitigating the risk 

identified in the revised risk assessment 

before developing a proposed 

registration review decision for the 

pesticides identified above. 

1. Information submission 

requirements. Anyone may submit data 

or information in response to this 

document. To be considered during a 

pesticide’s registration review, the 

submitted data or information must 

meet the following requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider 

data or information submitted, 

interested persons must submit the data 

or information during the comment 

period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted at a later date. 

• The data or information submitted 

must be presented in a legible and 

useable form. For example, an English 

translation must accompany any 

material that is not in English and a 

written transcript must accompany any 

information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. 

Written material may be submitted in 

paper or electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or 

information. 

• Submitters may request the Agency 

to reconsider data or information that 

the Agency rejected in a previous 

review. However, submitters must 

explain why they believe the Agency 

should reconsider the data or 

information in the pesticide’s 

registration review. 

As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the 

registration review docket for each 

pesticide case will remain publicly 

accessible through the duration of the 

registration review process; that is, until 

all actions required in the final decision 

on the registration review case have 

been completed.

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 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2017 / Notices 43009 

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: Plant-Incorporated Protectants; 

CBI Substantiation and Adverse Effects 

Reporting. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1693.09. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0142. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2018. 

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: This ICR addresses the two 

information collection requirements 

described in regulations pertaining to 

pesticidal substances that are produced 

by plants (plant-incorporated 

protectants) and which are codified in 

40 CFR part 174. A plant-incorporated 

protectant (PIP) is defined as ‘‘the 

pesticidal substance that is intended to 

be produced and used in a living plant 

and the genetic material necessary for 

the production of such a substance.’’ 

Many, but not all, PIPs are exempt from 

registration requirements under the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants 

sometimes include in a submission to 

EPA for registration of PIPs information 

that they claim to be CBI. CBI is 

protected by FIFRA and generally 

cannot be released to the public. For 

most pesticide registration applications, 

the current CBI regulations at 40 CFR 

part 2 require that claimants 

substantiate their CBI claims for their 

own records when the claim is made, 

and subsequently provide the 

substantiation to EPA only if requested. 

However, under 40 CFR part 174, 

whenever a registrant claims that 

information submitted to EPA in 

support of a PIP registration application 

contains CBI, the registrant must 

substantiate such claims to EPA when 

they are made. In addition, 40 CFR part 

174 also requires manufacturers of PIPs 

that are otherwise exempted from 

registration requirements to report any 

adverse effects of the PIP to the Agency 

within 30 days of when the information 

is first obtained. Such reporting will 

allow the Agency to determine whether 

further action is needed to prevent 

unreasonable adverse effects to human 

health or the environment. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 21.5 hours per CBI 

substantiation and 7 hours per adverse 

effects reporting 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 

include producers and importers of 

PIPs. The NAICS codes for respondents 

under this ICR include: 325320 

(Pesticide and other Agricultural 

Chemical Manufacturing), 325414 

(Biological Products (except Diagnostic) 

Manufacturing), 422910 (Farm Supplies 

Wholesalers), 422930 (Flower, Nursery 

Stock, and Florist’s Suppliers), 541710 

(Research and Development in the 

Physical, Engineering, and Life 

Sciences), and 611310 (Colleges, 

Universities, and Professional Schools). 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 24. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

518 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $41,892. 

There are no non-burden hour 

paperwork costs, e.g., investment or 

maintenance and operational costs, 

included in this information collection. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is an increase of 86 hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

increase reflects EPA’s updating of 

burden estimates for this collection 

based upon historical information on 

the number of CBI substantiations per 

year. Based upon revised estimates, the 

number of CBI substantiations per year 

has increased from 20 to 24, with a 

corresponding increase in the associated 

burden. This change is an adjustment. 

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
