Title: Submission of Unreasonable
Adverse Effects Information Under
FIFRA Section 6(a)(2)
ICR Status: This is a request to renew
an existing approved collection, which
is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency
may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB. This ICR
describes the nature of the information
collection and its estimated burden and
cost.
Abstract: Section 6(a)(2) of Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act requires pesticide registrants to
submit information to the Agency which
may be relevant to the balancing of the
risks and benefits of a pesticide product.
The statute requires the registrant to
submit any factual information that it
acquires regarding adverse effects
associated with its pesticidal products,
and it is up to the Agency to determine
whether or not that factual information
constitutes an unreasonable adverse
effect. Responses to this collection are
mandatory. The authority for this
information collection is section 6(a)(2)
of FIFRA, with regulations codified in
40 CFR part 159. Information submitted
to EPA in response to this information
collection may be protected from
disclosure under FIFRA section 10.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 97.3 hours per
registrant (respondent). Under the PRA,
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;
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Pesticide Registrants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,720.
Frequency of Response: As needed.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
167,316.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
$9,809,591.
Changes in the Estimates: This ICR
renewal request reflects an increase of
approximately 11,677 burden hours
from that which is currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens, to an annual respondent
burden of 167,316 hours at a cost of
$9,809,591 (in 2006 dollars). The change
in burden reflects a number of
adjustments. For this renewal ICR, there
are now fewer registrants of active
products (1,720 versus 1,877) and
therefore fewer employees to be trained
(17,200 versus 18,770) than reflected in
the existing ICR.
Total burden hour estimates
associated with studies are reduced
because the estimated number of study
submissions is reduced from 325 studies
to 240. Burden estimates associated
with the number of incident reports,
however, are increased because of the
increased volume of incident reporting
(17%). Overall, considering both the
decrease in studies and the increase in
incidents, the total burden hours
increased from 155,639 to 167,316.

Title: Recordkeeping Requirements
for Certified Applicators Using 1080
Collars for Livestock Protection.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew
an existing approved collection. This
ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31,
2007. Under OMB regulations, the
Agency may continue to conduct or
sponsor the collection of information
while this submission is pending at
OMB. This ICR describes the nature of
the information collection and its
estimated burden and cost.
Abstract: This ICR affects
approximately 40 certified pesticide
applicators who utilize 1080 toxic
collars for livestock protection. Four
states (Montana, New Mexico, South
Dakota, and Wyoming) monitor the
program, and five pesticide registrants
are required to keep records of: (a)
Number of collars purchased; (b)
number of collars attached on livestock;
(c) pasture(s) where collared livestock
were placed; (d) number and locations
of livestock found with ruptured or
punctured collars and the apparent
cause of the damage; (e) the dates of
each attachment, inspection, and
removal; (f) number, dates, and
approximate location of all collars lost;
(g) locations, and dates of all suspected
poisonings of humans, domestic
animals or non-target wild animals
resulting from collar use location and
species data on each animal poisoned as
an apparent result of the toxic collar.
Applicators maintain records, and the
registrants/lead agencies do monitoring
studies and submit the reports. These
records are monitored by either the: (a)
State lead agencies; (b) EPA regional
offices; or (c) the registrants. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA,
the Agency) receives annual monitoring
reports from registrants or State lead
agencies.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 9 hours per
response for registrant respondents; 40
hours per response for certified
applicator respondents; and 77 hours
per response for State agency
respondents per response. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial
PO 00000
Frm 00039

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:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are pesticide and other
agricultural manufacturers (NAICS
325320), e.g., pesticide registrants
whose products include 1080 collars;
and government establishments
primarily engaged in the administration
of environmental quality programs
(NAICS 9241), e.g., states implementing
a 1080 collar monitoring program.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
49.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,953 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost:
$70,261.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 200 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects
EPA’s estimate of increased numbers of
certified applicators (from 35 certified
applicators in 2003 to 40 in the current
ICR). This change is an adjustment.

Title: Recordkeeping Requirements for Certified Applicators Using
1080 Collars for Livestock Protection.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved
collection. This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2007. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. This
ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its
estimated burden and cost.
Abstract: This ICR affects approximately 40 certified pesticide
applicators who utilize 1080 toxic collars for livestock protection.
Four states (Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wyoming) monitor
the program, and five pesticide registrants are required to keep
records of: (a) Number of collars purchased; (b) number of collars
attached on livestock; (c) pasture(s) where collared livestock were
placed; (d) number and locations of livestock found with ruptured or
punctured collars and the apparent cause of the damage; (e) the dates
of each attachment, inspection, and removal; (f) number, dates, and
approximate location of all collars lost; (g) locations, and dates of
all suspected poisonings of humans, domestic animals or non-target wild
animals resulting from collar use location and species data on each
animal poisoned as an apparent result of the toxic collar. Applicators
maintain records, and the registrants/lead agencies do monitoring
studies and submit the reports. These records are monitored by either
the: (a) State lead agencies; (b) EPA regional offices; or (c) the
registrants. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, the Agency)
receives annual monitoring reports from registrants or State lead
agencies.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 9
hours per response for registrant respondents; 40 hours per response
for certified applicator respondents; and 77 hours per response for
State agency respondents 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: Entities potentially affected by
this action are pesticide and other agricultural manufacturers (NAICS
325320), e.g., pesticide registrants whose products include 1080
collars; and government establishments primarily engaged in the
administration of environmental quality programs (NAICS 9241), e.g.,
states implementing a 1080 collar monitoring program.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 49.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,953 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost: $70,261.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 200 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA's estimate of
increased numbers of certified applicators (from 35 certified
applicators in 2003 to 40 in the current ICR). This change is an
adjustment.
