Estimated Number of Respondents:
60.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
averaging 11 responses per year per
respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
148,873.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$11,740,260, however all these costs are
reimbursed by the Federal Government
through cooperative agreements,
resulting in no net cost to respondents
for this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 1,412 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease represents an
adjustment to the estimates and is
primarily due to a decline in the
estimated number of assessment
activities to be performed by
respondents.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
amendment to and clarification of the
order for the termination of uses,
voluntarily requested by the registrant
and accepted by the Agency, of products
containing the pesticide disulfoton,
pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
amendment and clarification follows an
October 10, 2007 Federal Register
Notice of Order to Amend Registrations
to Terminate Uses (72 FR 57571) of
disulfoton (Di-Syston 15G) for multiple
uses. The October 10, 2007 order and
the December 15, 2004, Notice of
Receipt of Request (69 FR 75061) that
preceded the order were unclear as to
whether the use of Di-Syston 15G on
Fraser fir Christmas trees was
terminated, except for use in the State
of North Carolina. In addition, the
registrant had withdrawn its request to
terminate use of Di-Syston 15G on
Christmas trees outside of North
Carolina during the time allowed and
EPA issued the order without having
processed that withdrawal. Accordingly,
EPA hereby is amending the order to
clarify that use of disulfoton on Fraser
fir Christmas trees is allowed
nationwide.
This amendment is effective
February 6, 2008.

to Voluntarily Terminate Certain Uses
(69 FR 75061). That notice contained
the statement: ‘‘The registrant will
retain use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir

January 21, 2005, during the allowed
timeframe set out in the December 15,
2004 notice, EPA received a withdrawal
request from the registrant that replaced
VerDate Aug<31>2005
an exclusion from termination for
Christmas trees in North Carolina with
an exclusion from termination for
Christmas trees nationwide. EPA did
not make note of this withdrawal in its
October 10, 2007 order and instead
reiterated the statement‘‘The registrant
will retain use of Di-Syston 15G on
Fraser fir Christmas trees in North
