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: 18.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: One for
each registration application,
experimental use permit, or reporting of
adverse effects.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
389 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$26,875.00. This includes an annual
cost of $26,721 for CBI substantiations
and $154 for adverse effects reporting.
IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
There is an increase of 86 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
increase reflects an increase in the
number of PIP applications during the
last 2 years. EPA expects that this higher
level of activity will continue. This
change is an adjustment.
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
opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval
process, please contact the person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD-ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or

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 pesticides
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. What Action Is the Agency Taking?
EPA is announcing receipt of an
initial filing of a pesticide petition
requesting a temporary tolerance
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for E. coli 0157:H7 specific
bacteriophages used on food-contact
surfaces in food processing plants. This
pesticide petition is filed under section
408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a,
proposing the establishment or
modification of regulations in part 180
for residues of pesticide chemicals in or
on various food commodities. EPA has
determined that the pesticide petition
described in this notice contains data or
information prescribed in FFDCA
section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not
fully evaluated the sufficiency of the
submitted data at this time or whether
the data supports granting of the
pesticide petition. Additional data may
be needed before EPA can make a final
determination on this pesticide petition.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of the petition that is the
subject of this notice, prepared by the
petitioner, is included in a docket EPA
has created for this rulemaking. The
request will include:
• The identity of the pesticide.
• Use of the pesticide.
• Safety issues related to the petition.
• Residue issues related to the
petition.
• Practicable methods for removing
residues that exceed the tolerance level.
• Proposed tolerance, and;

• Reasonable grounds in support of
the petition.
The docket for this petition is
available on-line at https://
www.regulations.gov.
As specified in FFDCA section
408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)), EPA is
publishing notice of the petition so that
the public has an opportunity to
comment on this request for the
establishment or modification of
regulations for residues of pesticides in
or on food commodities. Further
information on the petition may be
obtained through the petition summary
referenced in this unit.
