ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1249.09, OMB Control No. 2070–0074. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2010. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 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 in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: This ICR affects approximately 40 certified pesticide applicators who utilize 1080 toxic collars for livestock protection. Four states (Montana, New Mexico, South VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 12, 2010 Jkt 223001 Dakota, and Wyoming) monitor the program, and five pesticide registrants are required to keep records of: (a) Number of collars purchased; (b) number of collars attached on livestock; (c) pasture(s) where collared livestock were placed; (d) number and locations of livestock found with ruptured or punctured collars and the apparent cause of the damage; (e) the dates of each attachment, inspection, and removal; (f) number, dates, and approximate location of all collars lost; (g) locations, and dates of all suspected poisonings of humans, domestic animals or non-target wild animals resulting from collar use location and species data on each animal poisoned as an apparent result of the toxic collar. Applicators maintain records, and the registrants/lead agencies do monitoring studies and submit the reports. These records are monitored by either the: (a) State lead agencies; (b) EPA regional offices; or (c) the registrants. The EPA receives annual monitoring reports from registrants or State lead agencies. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: pesticide and other agricultural manufacturers (NAICS 325320), e.g., pesticide registrants whose products include 1080 collars; and government establishments primarily engaged in the administration of environmental quality programs (NAICS 9241), e.g., states implementing a 1080 collar monitoring program. Estimated Number of Respondents: 48. Frequency of Response: Annual. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,944 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $77,044. PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 9 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a correction in the calculation of the annual respondent burden hours from the last ICR. Dated: November 8, 2010. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0276.14, OMB Control No. 2070–0040. ICR Status: The current OMB approval for this ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2010. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. This ICR renews an ongoing information collection activity. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 12, 2010 Jkt 223001 currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Final Rule and in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. Abstract: The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requires that before a pesticide product may be distributed or sold in the U.S., it must be registered by EPA. Section 5 of FIFRA authorizes EPA to issue experimental use permits (EUPs) which allow companies to temporarily ship pesticide products for experimental use for the purpose of gathering data necessary to support the application for registration of a pesticide product. In general, EUP’s are issued either for a pesticide not registered with the Agency or for a registered pesticide for a use not registered with the Agency. The EUP application must be submitted in order to obtain a permit. This information collection provides the EPA with the data necessary to determine whether to issue an EUP under section 5 of FIFRA. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average between 32.8 hours for chemical pesticides and 147 hours for plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs) per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The following is a summary of the burden and cost information for this ICR: Respondents/Affected Entities: Pesticide Registrants. Estimated Number of Respondents: 21. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Responses: 10.3. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,907. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $114,566. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 1150 hours from the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory. This increase is an adjustment in the burden estimates resulting from consultations with EUP program participants, and an estimated number of EUP applications that are for PIPs compared to chemical pesticides.

    ICR Status: The current OMB approval for this ICR is scheduled to 
expire on November 30, 2010. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may

application must be submitted in order to obtain a permit. This 
information collection provides the EPA with the data necessary to 
determine whether to issue an EUP under section 5 of FIFRA.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 
between 32.8 hours for chemical pesticides and 147 hours for plant-
incorporated protectants (PIPs) per response. Burden is defined in 5 
CFR 1320.3(b). The following is a summary of the burden and cost 
information for this ICR:
