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
