In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding, interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline need not be served on persons other than the Applicant. As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides notification that the entity making the filing has determined the facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protests do not lie in dockets that are qualifying facility self-certifications or selfrecertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications and selfrecertifications. The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at https:// www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the eRegistration link.

Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are producers, registrants, and applicants for registration of pesticides and pesticide devices. Title: Recordkeeping Requirements for Producers, Registrants, and Applicants of Pesticides and Pesticide Devices under Section 8 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). ICR Number 0143.11, OMB Control Number 2070–0028. Expires 01/ 31/11. Abstract: Section 8 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) states that the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency may prescribe regulations requiring producers, registrants and applicants for registration to maintain such records with respect to their operations and the effective enforcement of this Act as the Administrator determines are necessary for the effective enforcement of FIFRA and to make such records available for inspection and copying as specified in the statute. The regulations at 40 CFR part 169 (Books and Records of Pesticide Production and Distribution) specify the following records that producers must keep and the disposition of those records: Production data for pesticides, devices, or active ingredients (including pesticides produced pursuant to an experimental use permit); receipt by the producer of pesticides, devices, or active ingredients used in producing pesticides; delivery, moving, or holding of pesticides; inventory; domestic advertising for restricted use pesticides; guarantees; exports; disposal; human testing; and PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36651 tolerance petitions. Additionally, section 8 gives the Agency inspectional authority to monitor the validity of research data (including raw data), including data developed in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice Standards, and used to support pesticide registration. The EPA or States/Indian Tribes operating under Cooperative Enforcement Agreements make use of the records required by section 8 through periodically inspecting them to help determine FIFRA compliance of this subject to the provisions of the Act. In addition, producers themselves make use of such records in order to comply with reporting requirements under FIFRA section 7 and 40 CFR 167.85. (Those reporting requirements are addressed in the ICR entitled ‘‘Pesticide Registration Application, Notification and Report for Pesticide-Producing Establishments.’’) Since most of the records required to be maintained are likely to be collected and maintained in the course of good business practice, the records are generally stored on site at either the establishment producing the pesticide or at the place of business of the person holding the registration. However, the registrant may decide to transfer records relating to disposal of pesticides and human testing to EPA for storage because of a twenty year retention requirement for the records. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9. Burden: The average annual burden to the industry over the next three years is estimated to be 2 person hours per response. Respondents/Affected Entities: 11,600. Estimated Number of Respondents: 11,600. Frequency of Response: 1. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 23,200. There are no capital/startup costs or operating and maintenance (O&M) costs associated with this ICR since all equipment associated with this ICR is present as part of ordinary business practices. 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 E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM 28JNN1 36652 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 123 / Monday, June 28, 2010 / Notices information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 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. EPA will consider any comments received and may amend the ICR, as appropriate. Then the final ICR package will be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue a 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.

    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
producers, registrants, and applicants for registration of pesticides 
and pesticide devices.
    Title: Recordkeeping Requirements for Producers, Registrants, and 
Applicants of Pesticides and Pesticide Devices under Section 8 of the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). ICR Number 
0143.11, OMB Control Number 2070-0028. Expires 01/31/11.
    Abstract: Section 8 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) states that the Administrator of the 
Environmental Protection Agency may prescribe regulations requiring 
producers, registrants and applicants for registration to maintain such 
records with respect to their operations and the effective enforcement 
of this Act as the Administrator determines are necessary for the 
effective enforcement of FIFRA and to make such records available for 
inspection and copying as specified in the statute. The regulations at 
40 CFR part 169 (Books and Records of Pesticide Production and 
Distribution) specify the following records that producers must keep 
and the disposition of those records: Production data for pesticides, 
devices, or active ingredients (including pesticides produced pursuant 
to an experimental use permit); receipt by the producer of pesticides, 
devices, or active ingredients used in producing pesticides; delivery, 
moving, or holding of pesticides; inventory; domestic advertising for 
restricted use pesticides; guarantees; exports; disposal; human 
testing; and tolerance petitions. Additionally, section 8 gives the 
Agency inspectional authority to monitor the validity of research data 
(including raw data), including data developed in accordance with Good 
Laboratory Practice Standards, and used to support pesticide 
registration. The EPA or States/Indian Tribes operating under 
Cooperative Enforcement Agreements make use of the records required by 
section 8 through periodically inspecting them to help determine FIFRA 
compliance of this subject to the provisions of the Act. In addition, 
producers themselves make use of such records in order to comply with 
reporting requirements under FIFRA section 7 and 40 CFR 167.85. (Those 
reporting requirements are addressed in the ICR entitled ``Pesticide 
Registration Application, Notification and Report for Pesticide-
Producing Establishments.'')
    Since most of the records required to be maintained are likely to 
be collected and maintained in the course of good business practice, 
the records are generally stored on site at either the establishment 
producing the pesticide or at the place of business of the person 
holding the registration. However, the registrant may decide to 
transfer records relating to disposal of pesticides and human testing 
to EPA for storage because of a twenty year retention requirement for 
the records. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    Burden: The average annual burden to the industry over the next 
three years is estimated to be 2 person hours per response.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: 11,600.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 11,600.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
