All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Integrated iron and steel manufacturing. Estimated Number of Respondents: 18. Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,421. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,627,196: which is comprised of $1,560,196 in Labor costs, $67,000 in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs, and no capital/startup costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the precious ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden to industry.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 
Act (FIFRA) directs EPA to reevaluate existing pesticides to ensure 
that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. In the 
Federal Register issue of September 26, 2007 (72 FR 54662) (FRL-8144-
8), EPA issued a RED for the allethrins under section 4(g)(2)(A) of 
FIFRA. Due to their uses, risk, and other factors, the allethrins were 
reviewed through the modified 4-Phase public participation process. 
Subsequent to publication of the RED, the technical registrant (Valent 
BioSciences Corporation) identified a product (EPA registration number 
21165-62) registered for use in commercial animal housing automatic 
misting systems, a use not addressed in the RED or in the supporting 
risk assessments. As a result, the Agency updated the allethrins 
occupational and residential risk assessment to include an evaluation 
of this product and use pattern, and revised the RED accordingly. All 
other risk assessments described in the original RED remain the same.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, directs that, after 
submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the 
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active 
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in product 
specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering 
products or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''
