Title: Pesticide Registration Application, Notification and Report for Pesticide Producing Establishments (Renewal). Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must collect information on pesticide-producing establishments in order to meet the statutory requirements of Section 7 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA requires producers of pesticide products, active ingredients, and devices to register their establishments with EPA and to submit an initial report, and thereafter, annually report on the types and amounts of products produced. The purpose of this notice is to request renewal of the collection process and reporting processes for the Application for Registration of Pesticide-Producing Establishments (EPA Form 3540–8), the Notification of Registration of Pesticide-Producing Establishments (EPA Form 3540–8A), and the Pesticides Report for PesticideProducing Establishments (EPA Form 3540–16). Application for Registration of Pesticide-Producing Establishments information, collected on EPA Form 3540–8, is a one-time requirement for all pesticide-producing establishments. The reporting of pesticide production information collected on the Pesticides Report for Pesticide-Producing Establishments, EPA Form 3540–16, is required within 30 days of receipt of the Notification of Registration of PesticideProducing Establishments (EPA Form 3540–8A); and then annually thereafter, on or before March 1. The information is entered and stored in EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance VerDate jul<14>2003 14:24 Jul 19, 2005 Jkt 205001 (OECA)/Office of Compliance (OC) Section Seven Tracking System (SSTS), a computerized data processing and record-keeping system. The Office of Compliance/OECA collects the establishment and pesticide production information for compliance oversight and risk assessment. The information is used by EPA Regional pesticide enforcement and compliance staffs, OECA, and the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) within the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS), as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), other Federal agencies, States under Cooperative Enforcement Agreements, and the public. 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 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.5 hours per response. 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 respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: 13,000. Estimated Number of Respondents: 13,000. Frequency of Response: 1. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,800. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,240,961, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a increase of 841 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to an adjustment in the estimates of the number of respondents. PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 41703 Dated: July 12, 2005.
