ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on June 30, 2006. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a current valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the 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 in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: The Acid Rain Program was established under Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. The program calls for major reductions of the pollutants that cause acid rain while establishing a new approach to environmental management. This information collection is necessary to implement the Acid Rain Program. It includes burden hours associated with developing and modifying permits, transferring allowances, obtaining allowances from the conservation and renewable energy reserve, monitoring emissions, participating in the annual auctions, completing annual compliance certifications, participating in the Opt-in program, and complying with NOX permitting requirements. Most of this information collection is mandatory under 40 CFR parts 72–78. Some parts of it are voluntary or to obtain a benefit, such as participation in the annual auctions under 40 CFR part 73, subpart E. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:43 May 09, 2006 Jkt 208001 Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 110 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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Electric Utilities, Industrial Sources, and other persons. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,700. Frequency of Response: On occasion, quarterly, and annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,971,276. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $262,369,989, which includes $71,307,000 annualized capital/startup costs, $70,951,000 annual O&M costs, and $120,111,989 annual labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 370,469 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to adjustments (379,044 hours), with changes in program requirements decreasing the burden (8,575 hours). Dated: April 27, 2006.

III. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply 
to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
pesticide registrants.
    Title: Notice of Supplemental Distribution of a Registered 
Pesticide Product.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0278.09, OMB Control No. 2070-0044.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on January 
31, 2007. 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 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 in certain EPA 
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: This collection activity provides the Agency with 
notification of supplemental registration of distributors of pesticide 
products. EPA is responsible for the regulation of pesticides as 
mandated by Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
(FIFRA). Section 3(e) of FIFRA allows pesticide registrants to 
distribute or sell a registered pesticide product under a different 
name instead of or in addition to their own. Such distribution and sale 
is termed ``supplemental distribution'' and the product is termed a 
``distributor product.'' EPA requires the pesticide registrant to 
submit a supplemental statement (EPA Form 8570-5, Notice of 
Supplemental Distribution of a Registered Pesticide Product) when the 
registrant has entered into an agreement with a second company that 
will distribute the registrant's product under the second company's 
name and product name.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.25 
hours per response, or 15 minutes. 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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is 
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 2,479.
    Frequency of response: As needed.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 620 hours.

[[Page 27242]]

    Estimated total annual costs: $ 63,066.

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval?

    There is a decrease of 380 hours in the total estimated respondent 
burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by 
OMB. This decrease reflects EPA's revised estimates based on changes in 
tracking methodology. This change is an adjustment.

V. 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
