information available to the public
without further notice.

Practical Utility/Users of the Data
EPA places eligible oil spill mitigating
agents on the Schedule if all the
required data are submitted. The
Schedule is available for use by OnScene Coordinators (OSC), Regional
Response Teams, and Area Committees
in determining the most appropriate
products to use or prohibit in various
spill scenarios. Under 40 CFR
300.910(a), RRTs and Area Committees
are required to address the desirability
of using the products on the Schedule
in their Regional Contingency Plans
(RCPs) and Area Contingency Plans
(ACPs), respectively. The information
collected from the product manufacturer
is needed so that OSCs, RRTs, and Area
Committees can make informed
decisions to safely employ chemical/
biological countermeasures to control
oil discharges. Correct product use is
critical in emergency situations. Subpart
J ensures that OSCs, RRTs, and Area
Committees have necessary data
regarding the toxicity, effectiveness, and
other characteristics of different
products.
Burden Statement:
The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 57
to 122 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 the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
• Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 14 per year.
• Frequency of response: On
occasion.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:27 Apr 13, 2010
Jkt 220001
• Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1
response for each respondent.
• Estimated total annual burden
hours: 390 hours.
• Estimated total annual costs:
$100,092, this includes an estimated
burden cost of $17,292 and an estimated
cost of $82,800 for capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs.
Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
There is no change of hours in the
total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. EPA
anticipates the same number of annual
burden hours or capital and O&M costs
under this ICR renewal. The only
modifications made to figures in this
ICR supporting statement involve
updates to the wage rates associated
with respondent and EPA personnel
activities. Labor costs are not reported
in the OMB inventory.
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. At that time, 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 opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide(s)
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
Under Section 5 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can
allow manufacturers to field test
pesticides under development.
Manufacturers are required to obtain an
EUP before testing new pesticides or
new uses of pesticides if they conduct
PO 00000
Frm 00042

Sfmt 4703
experimental field tests on 10 acres or
more of land or one acre or more of
water.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the
Agency has determined that the
following EUP application may be of
regional and national significance, and
therefore is seeking public comment on
the EUP application:
Submitter: Intralytix, Inc. (74234EUP-E).
Pesticide Chemical: E. coli 0157:H7
Bacteriophage.
Summary of Request: An EUP will
enable Intralytix to determine if the
efficacy of E. coli 0157:H7 bacteriophage
ECP 100 in reducing or eliminating E.
coli 0157:H7 contamination of surfaces
in controlled laboratory experiments
can be replicated under field conditions
in a working beef processing plant
environment.
A copy of the application and any
information submitted is available for
public review in the docket established
for this EUP application as described
under ADDRESSES.
Following the review of the
application and any comments and data
received in response to this solicitation,
EPA will decide whether to issue or
deny the EUP request, and if issued, the
