Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are pesticide and other agricultural chemical manufacturing under the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 325320. Title: Notice of Supplemental Distribution of a Registered Pesticide Product. ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0278.10, OMB Control No. 2070–0044. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on March 31, 2010. 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 Code of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: This information collection activity provides EPA with notification of supplemental registration of distributors of pesticide products. EPA is responsible for the regulation of pesticides as mandated by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. Section 3(e) of FIFRA (see 7 U.S.C. 136a(e)), allows pesticide registrants to distribute or sell a registered pesticide product under a different name instead of or in addition to his own. Such distribution and sale is termed ‘‘supplemental distribution’’ and the product is termed a ‘‘distributor product.’’ EPA requires the pesticide registrant to submit a supplemental VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:46 Jun 23, 2009 Jkt 217001 statement (EPA Form 8570–5, Notice of Supplemental Distribution of a Registered Pesticide Product) when the registrant has entered into an agreement with a second company that will distribute the registrant’s product under the second company’s name and product name. Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.24 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 1,900. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 456 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $37,050. IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval? There is a decrease of 139 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is an adjustment reflecting EPA’s expectation that only 1,900 Notices of Registration of Supplemental Distribution will be submitted to the Agency annually over the next three years. V. What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

    Abstract: Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) develop standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, 
and disposal facilities (TSDFs) as may be necessary to protect human 
health and the environment. Subsections 3004(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), and 
(6) specify that these standards include, but not be limited to, the 
following requirements:
     Maintaining records of all hazardous wastes identified or 
listed under subtitle C that are treated, stored, or disposed of, and 
the manner in which such wastes were treated, stored, or disposed of;
     Operating methods, techniques, and practices for 
treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste;
     Location, design, and construction of such hazardous waste 
treatment, disposal, or storage facilities;
     Contingency plans for effective action to minimize 
unanticipated damage from any treatment, storage, or disposal of any 
such hazardous waste; and
     Maintaining or operating such facilities and requiring 
such additional qualifications as to ownership, continuity of 
operation, training for personnel, and financial responsibility as may 
be necessary or desirable.
    The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in 40 
CFR parts 264 and 265. The collection of this information enables EPA 
to properly determine whether owners/operators or hazardous waste 
treatment, storage, and disposal facilities meet the requirements of 
section 3004(a) of RCRA.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting burden for this 
collection of information is estimated to average 324 hours per 
respondent, and the annual public recordkeeping burden for this 
collection of information is estimated to average 88 hours per 
respondent. 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 business and other for-profit, as well as State, Local, 
and Tribal governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,403.

annualized labor costs and $673,012 annualized capital or operation & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 73,931 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This reduction is due to an estimated decrease in 
the respondent universe of 128.
