Title: Plant-Incorporated Protectants;
CBI Substantiation and Adverse Effects
Reporting
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1693.05,
OMB Control No. 2070–0142
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on October 31, 2007. 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

required to respond to, a collection of

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 ICR addresses the two
information collection requirements
described in regulations pertaining to
pesticidal substances that are produced
by plants (plant-incorporated
protectants) and which are codified in
40 CFR part 174. A plant-incorporated
protectant is defined as ‘‘the pesticidal
substance that is intended to be
produced and used in a living plant and
the genetic material necessary for the
production of such a substance.’’ Many,
but not all, plant-incorporated
protectants are exempt from registration
requirements under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA). Registrants sometimes
include in a submission to EPA for
registration of a plant-incorporated
protectant, information that they claim
to be confidential business information
(CBI). CBI is protected by FIFRA and
generally cannot be released to the
public. Under 40 CFR part 174,
whenever a registrant claims that
information submitted to EPA in
support of a registration application for
plant-incorporated protectants contains
CBI, the registrant must substantiate
such claims when they are made, rather
than provide it later upon request by
EPA. In addition, manufacturers of
plant-incorporated protectants that are
otherwise exempted from the
requirements of registration must report
adverse effects of the plant-incorporated
protectant to the Agency. Such reporting
will allow the Agency to determine
whether further action is needed to
prevent unreasonable adverse effects to
the environment. Submission of this
information is mandatory.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 7 hours for an
adverse effects report and 21.5 hours for
substantiation of a CBI claim, 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.

Adverse Effects Reporting
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1693.05, OMB Control No. 2070-0142
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2007.
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
[[Page 58843]]
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 ICR addresses the two information collection
requirements described in regulations pertaining to pesticidal
substances that are produced by plants (plant-incorporated protectants)
and which are codified in 40 CFR part 174. A plant-incorporated
protectant is defined as ``the pesticidal substance that is intended to
be produced and used in a living plant and the genetic material
necessary for the production of such a substance.'' Many, but not all,
plant-incorporated protectants are exempt from registration
requirements under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA). Registrants sometimes include in a submission to EPA for
registration of a plant-incorporated protectant, information that they
claim to be confidential business information (CBI). CBI is protected
by FIFRA and generally cannot be released to the public. Under 40 CFR
part 174, whenever a registrant claims that information submitted to
EPA in support of a registration application for plant-incorporated
protectants contains CBI, the registrant must substantiate such claims
when they are made, rather than provide it later upon request by EPA.
In addition, manufacturers of plant-incorporated protectants that are
otherwise exempted from the requirements of registration must report
adverse effects of the plant-incorporated protectant to the Agency.
Such reporting will allow the Agency to determine whether further
action is needed to prevent unreasonable adverse effects to the
environment. Submission of this information is mandatory.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 7
hours for an adverse effects report and 21.5 hours for substantiation
of a CBI claim, 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: Producers and importers of plant-
incorporated protectants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 14.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 303.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $20,879, includes no annualized
capital or O&M costs.

in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved ICR Burdens.
