Any

subject
to
the
rule
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these

Burden
Statement:
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
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
the
previously
approved
ICR,
the
estimated
number
of
respondents
for
this
information
collection
was
390
with
390
responses
per
year.
The
annual
industry
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
was
15,463
hours.
On
the
average,
each
respondent
reported
once
per
year
and
approximately
40
hours
were
spent
preparing
each
response.
The
total
annual
reporting
and
recordkeeping
cost
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
was
$
15,000.
This
included
an
annual
cost
of
$
1,000
associated
with
capital/
startup
costs
and
$
14,000
associated
with
the
annual
operation
and
maintenance
costs.
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.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to

a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;

of
information;
and

or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person

that

EPA
hereby

Receipt
of
Requests
to
Cancel
and
Amend
Registrations
to
Delete
Uses.

A.
Background
Certain
registrants
requested
in
letters
dated
December
2001,
and
January,
February,
March,
April,
May,
June,
and
July
2002
that
their
diazinon
registrations
be
amended
to
delete
all
indoor
uses,
certain
agricultural
uses,
and
any
other
uses
that
the
registrants
do
not
wish
to
maintain.
The
requests
also
included
deletions
of
outdoor
nonagricultural
uses
from
the
labeling
of
certain
end­
use
products
so
that
such
products
would
be
labeled
for
agricultural
uses
only.
Similarly,
other
diazinon
end­
use
registrants
requested
voluntary
cancellation
of
their
diazinon
EUP
registrations
with
indoor
use
and/
or
certain
outdoor
non­
agricultural
uses,
and
any
other
uses
that
the
registrants
do
not
wish
to
maintain.
EPA
announced
its
receipt
of
these
abovementioned
cancellation
requests
in
a
Federal
Register
notice
dated
September
11,
2002
(
67
FR
57589),
(
FRL
 
7197
 
8).
These
requested
cancellations
and
amendments
are
consistent
with
the
requests
in
December
2000
by
the
manufacturers
of
diazinon
technical
products,
and
EPA's
approval
of
such
requests,
to
terminate
all
indoor
uses
and
certain
agricultural
uses
from
their
diazinon
product
registrations
because
of
EPA's
concern
with
the
potential
exposure
risk,
especially
to
children,
associated
with
diazinon
containing
products.
The
indoor
uses
and
agricultural
uses
subject
to
cancellation
are
identified
in
List
1
below:
