Background ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL–8778–4] Adequacy of Virginia’s Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Program Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of Determination of Adequacy. AGENCY: tjames on PRODPC61 with NOTICES SUMMARY: On March 22, 2004, the U.S. EPA issued final regulations allowing research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) permits to be issued to certain municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLF) by approved states. On September 19, 2008 Virginia submitted an application to U.S. EPA Region 3 seeking approval of its RD&D requirements. Virginia’s RD&D requirements allow Virginia to issue research, development and demonstration (RD&D) permits to owners and operators of MSWLF units in accordance with state law. Subject to public review and comment, this notice approves Virginia’s RD&D permit requirements. DATES: This determination of RD&D program adequacy for Virginia will become effective May 18, 2009 unless adverse comments are received on or before May 18, 2009. If adverse comments are received, the U.S. EPA will review those comments and publish another FR document responding to those comments and either affirming or revising the U.S. EPA’s initial decision. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Mike Giuranna, Land and Chemicals Division, Office of Materials Management (Mail Code 3LC40), U.S. EPA Region 3, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103–2029, telephone: (215) 814–3298. Comments may also be submitted electronically to giuranna.mike@epa.gov or by facsimile at (215) 814–3163. You may examine copies of Virginia’s application and relevant portions of Virginia’s regulations during normal business hours at U.S. EPA Region 3. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Giuranna, Land and Chemicals Division, Office of Materials VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:48 Mar 17, 2009 Jkt 217001 On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a final rule amending the municipal solid waste landfill criteria in 40 CFR part 258 to allow for the issuance of research, development and demonstration (RD&D) permits (69 FR 13242). This rule allows for variances from specified criteria for a limited period of time, to be implemented through state-issued RD&D permits. RD&D permits are available only in states with EPA approved MSWLF permit programs that have been modified to incorporate RD&D permit authority. While states are not required to seek approval for this new provision, those states that are interested in issuing RD&D permits to owners and operators of MSWLFs must seek approval from EPA before issuing such permits. Approval procedures for new provisions of 40 CFR Part 258 are outlined in 40 CFR 239.12. Virginia’s MSWLF permit program was approved by EPA on February 3, 1993 (58 FR 6955), March 31, 1994 (59 FR 15201) and October 7, 2003 (68 FR 57824). On September 19, 2008, Virginia applied for approval of its RD&D permit provisions which are included in the Virginia Administrative Code at 9 VAC 20–80–485D. B. Decision After a thorough review, U.S. EPA Region 3 determined that Virginia’s RD&D permit provisions at 9 VAC 20– 80–485D are adequate to ensure compliance with the Federal criteria promulgated at 40 CFR 258.4. Authority: This action is issued under the authority of section 2002, 4005 and 4010(c) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912, 6945 and 6949a. Dated: January 28, 2009. William T.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0152.09, OMB Control No. 2070–0020. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2009. 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 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: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations at 19 CFR 12.112 require that an importer desiring to import pesticides into the United States shall, prior to the shipment’s arrival, submit a Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices (EPA Form VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:48 Mar 17, 2009 Jkt 217001 3540–1) to EPA, who will determine the disposition of the shipment. After completing the form, EPA returns the form to the importer, or his agent, who must present the form to Customs and Border Protection upon arrival of the shipment at the port of entry. This is necessary to ensure that EPA is notified of the arrival of pesticides and devices as required by the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 17(c) and has the ability to examine such shipments to determine whether they are in compliance with FIFRA. The form requires identification and address information of the importer or his agent and information on the identity and location of the imported pesticide or device shipment. When the form is submitted to EPA regional personnel for review it is examined to determine whether the shipment should be released for entry upon arrival or alternatively whether it should be detained for examination. The responsible EPA official returns the form to the respondent with EPA instructions to Customs and Border Protection as to the disposition of the shipment. Upon the arrival of the shipment, the importer presents the completed Notice of Arrival (NOA) to the District Director of Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry who then compares entry documents for the shipment with the NOA and notifies the EPA Regional Office of any discrepancies which the EPA will resolve with the importer or broker. At this point the shipment may be retained for examination. If there are no discrepancies, Customs and Border Protection follows instructions regarding release or detention. If EPA inspects the shipment and it appears from examination of a sample that it is adulterated, misbranded or otherwise violates the provisions of FIFRA, or is otherwise injurious to health or the environment, the pesticide or device may be refused admission into the United States. This information collection activity reporting requirement is needed to allow Customs and Border Protection to fulfill its statutory obligation to inform EPA of pesticides and devices arriving in the United States so that EPA can ensure compliance with FIFRA by the responsible party importing the pesticides or devices. The information permits EPA to stop unregistered, suspended, canceled, misbranded, contaminated, or otherwise violative products from being imported into the country, track those that do enter, and minimize any adverse environmental impact that might arise from the PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11541 importation of violative products. If EPA did not collect this information, EPA and Customs and Border Protection would be unable to meet their statutory requirements under FIFRA. The information collected is used by EPA regional pesticide enforcement and compliance staff and the headquarters Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance and Office of Pesticide Programs. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (Customs and Border Protection), the Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and other Federal agencies may also make use of this information. 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 0.3 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: Pesticide Importers. Estimated Number of Respondents: 25,000. Frequency of Response: 1. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 7500.

    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2009. 
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 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: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations at 19 
CFR 12.112 require that an importer desiring to import pesticides into 
the United States shall, prior to the shipment's arrival, submit a 
Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices (EPA Form 3540-1) to EPA, 
who will determine the disposition of the shipment. After completing 
the form, EPA returns the form to the importer, or his agent, who must 
present the form to Customs and Border Protection upon arrival of the 
shipment at the port of entry. This is necessary to ensure that EPA is 
notified of the arrival of pesticides and devices as required by the 
Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 17(c) 
and has the ability to examine such shipments to determine whether they 
are in compliance with FIFRA.
    The form requires identification and address information of the 
importer or his agent and information on the identity and location of 
the imported pesticide or device shipment.
    When the form is submitted to EPA regional personnel for review it 
is examined to determine whether the shipment should be released for 
entry upon arrival or alternatively whether it should be detained for 
examination. The responsible EPA official returns the form to the 
respondent with EPA instructions to Customs and Border Protection as to 
the disposition of the shipment.
    Upon the arrival of the shipment, the importer presents the 
completed Notice of Arrival (NOA) to the District Director of Customs 
and Border Protection at the port of entry who then compares entry 
documents for the shipment with the NOA and notifies the EPA Regional 
Office of any discrepancies which the EPA will resolve with the 
importer or broker. At this point the shipment may be retained for 
examination. If there are no discrepancies, Customs and Border 
Protection follows instructions regarding release or detention. If EPA 
inspects the shipment and it appears from examination of a sample that 
it is adulterated, misbranded or otherwise violates the provisions of 
FIFRA, or is otherwise injurious to health or the environment, the 
pesticide or device may be refused admission into the United States.
    This information collection activity reporting requirement is 
needed to allow Customs and Border Protection to fulfill its statutory 
obligation to inform EPA of pesticides and devices arriving in the 
United States so that EPA can ensure compliance with FIFRA by the 
responsible party importing the pesticides or devices. The information 
permits EPA to stop unregistered, suspended, canceled, misbranded, 
contaminated, or otherwise violative products from being imported into 
the country, track those that do enter, and minimize any adverse 
environmental impact that might arise from the importation of violative 
products. If EPA did not collect this information, EPA and Customs and 
Border Protection would be unable to meet their statutory requirements 
under FIFRA.
    The information collected is used by EPA regional pesticide 
enforcement and compliance staff and the headquarters Office of 
Enforcement and Compliance Assurance and Office of Pesticide Programs. 
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (Customs and Border 
Protection), the Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug 
Administration, and other Federal agencies may also make use of this 
information.
    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 0.3 
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: Pesticide Importers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 25,000.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 7500.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $423,420, includes $0 annualized 
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change of hours in the total 
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
ICR Burdens.
