Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 10, 2001 / Notices 1977

4The resulting questionnaire, with minor

modifications, is similar to an earlier EPA survey

distributed to state SERC’s and LEPCs within EPA

Regioin IX (as described in Federal Register

document published on May 14, 1999, 64 FR

26405).

in the Code of Federal Register, 40 CFR

part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

The intended survey questionnaire

was initially formulated by a voluntary

Regional Tribal Operational Committee

(RTOC) workgroup comprised of seven

(7) members: Five (5) members from

various Region IX tribes and two (2)

EPA advisors.4 Although the survey’s

concept, content and format was

reviewed and approved by a Tribal

coalition advisory group, the Regional

Tribal Operational Committee (whose

members are representative of federally

recognized tribes in Region IX) on

October 25, 2000, EPA encourages

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 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

instances where tribes lack computer

access, responses will be requested in

hard copy.

Burden Statement

It is estimated that there will be

approximately 145 tribal respondents to

the Questionnaire and survey described

within this notice. In accordance with

Federal Law, the agency is required to

estimate any burden incurred by the

respondents to maintain records,

transmit or disclose information to

parties other than the implementing

agency. It is not anticipated that any

third party or parties will be involved,

thus, there will be no third party

burden. Any estimate and identification

of burden will rely on the voluntary

response by each respondent. EPA

estimates a total response burden of two

(2) hours per participant. Labor costs for

responding is estimated at $28.00 per

hour, based on the ‘‘Employer Cost for

Employment Compensation’’ (Bureau of

Labor and Statistics, March 1999). There

is no need for ‘‘developing, acquiring or

utilizing technology systems for the

purpose of collecting, validating or

verifying information,’’ ‘‘disclosing and

providing information,’’ ‘‘adjusting the

existing ways to comply with any

previous applicable instructions or

requirements,’’ ‘‘training personnel to be

able to respond to a collection of

information,’’ ‘‘searching data sources,’’

nor a need for respondents to keep

records.’’ Burden activities include only

a few steps: Reading or listening to

instructions, reading or listening to

survey questions and responding to

survey questions. The average cost per

respondent is estimated at $56.00.

No capital expenditures are needed by

the respondent to complete the survey.

No operating and maintenance costs

(on-going non-wage expenditures) are

needed to complete the survey. Also,

there are no capital or start-up costs.

To perform EPA’s activities for the

survey, EPA estimates that 80 hours of

a federal employee at the Grade level

GS–13, Step 1 level will be needed, at

an hourly wage of $51.60. This estimate

is based on the 2000 General Services

Annual Pay Schedule divided by 2,080

hours per year and multiplied by 1.6

(standard government benefits

multiplication factor). EPA estimates

that the federal employee will work

4.6% of the employee’s time on this

project during the life of the survey (48

weeks) or approximately 88 hours

(1,920 hours x .046), for an estimated

cost to manage the project of $4,540.80.

EPA will be assisted in the survey by

a contractor. The budget period is for 12

months. Funding covers: Survey design

and planning; data collection and

processing. EPA estimates that the

contractor, Science Applications

International Corporation, will require

an estimated total of 183 labor hours

and $10,000.

EPA estimates that 145 respondent

tribes will voluntarily respond to the

survey at a total burden of 290 hours

and a total cost of $8120.00. It is

estimated that the average respondent

burden is two (2) hours per response at

a total cost of $56.00 per response,

including the time for reviewing,

gathering and processing the

information and completing and

reviewing the collection of information.

Burden means the total time, effort, or

financial resources expended by persons

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose

or provide information to or for a

Federal agency.

In separate letters dated December 1,

2000, both Syngenta Crop Protection,

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 10, 2001 / Notices 1979

Inc. and Makhteshim Agan of North

America, Inc./Makhteshim Chemical

Works, Ltd., manufacturers of technical

diazinon and registrants of pesticide

products containing diazinon, requested

cancellation of all indoor and certain

agricultural uses from their diazinon

products to reduce the potential

exposure to children associated with

diazinon containing products. The

letters also request that EPA cancel their

registrations for technical and

manufacturing-use pesticide products

containing diazinon, conditioned upon

issuance of replacement registrations

which do not allow their use in

formulation of end-use products for the

deleted uses. EPA intends to act quickly

on the requests, and to issue new

registrations on or before January 15,

2001. In addition, these companies have

asked EPA to cancel or amend their

registrations for end-use products

containing diazinon that are registered

for only the deleted uses. Pursuant to

section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA), EPA is announcing the

Agency’s receipt of these requests from

the registrants. With respect to the

registration amendments, the companies

have asked EPA to amend end-use

product registrations to delete all indoor

uses and certain agricultural uses which

are in the list below:

1. Indoor uses: Pet collars, or inside

any structure or vehicle, vessel, or

aircraft or any enclosed area, and/or on

any contents therein (except mushroom

houses), including food/feed handling

establishments, greenhouses, schools,

residences, museums, sports facilities,

stores, warehouses and hospitals.

‘‘lawns’’ be removed from its

commercial agricultural products listed

in Table 3 below. (EPA Registrations

100–460, 100–461 and 100–784)

After these use cancellations become

effective, diazinon technical and

manufacturing use products may be

formulated into end-use products

registered for the following agricultural

use sites only: Almonds, apples,

apricots, beans (seed treatment only )

except soybeans, beets, blackberries,

blueberries, boysenberries, broccoli,

cattle (non-lactating; ear tags only),

Chinese broccoli, Brussels sprouts,

cabbage, Chinese cabbage (bok choy and

napa), cantaloupes, carrots, Casaba

melons, cauliflower, cherries, collards,

field corn (seed treatment only), sweet

corn (including seed treatment),

cranberries, Crenshaw melons,

dewberries, endive (escarole), ginseng,

grapes, honeydew melons, hops, kale,

lettuce, lima beans (seed treatment
