ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1250.09, OMB Control No. 2070–0075. ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved collection that 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. Abstract: Submitters of information to EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) may claim all or part of the information confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. One such circumstance is covered by this ICR. Specifically, certain employees of companies working under contract to EPA require access to CBI collected under the authority of TSCA in order to perform their official duties. The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), which is responsible for VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 12, 2010 Jkt 223001 maintaining the security of TSCA CBI, requires that all individuals desiring access to TSCA CBI obtain and annually renew official clearance to TSCA CBI. As part of the process for obtaining TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires certain information about the contracting company and about each contractor employee requesting TSCA CBI clearance, primarily the name, EPA badge number or other identification of the employee, the type of TSCA CBI clearance requested and the justification for such clearance, and the signature of the employee to an agreement with respect to access to and use of TSCA CBI. Responses to the collection of information are voluntary, but failure to provide the requested information will prevent a contractor employee from obtaining clearance to TSCA CBI. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.6 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are companies under contract to the Environmental Protection Agency to provide certain services, whose employees must have access to TSCA confidential business information to perform their duties. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 13 (rounded up from 12.5). Estimated Number of Respondents: 30. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 601 hours. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $30,253. Changes in Burden Estimates: There is an increase of 155 hours (from 446 hours to 601 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the information collection most recently approved by OMB. This reflects an increase in the estimated number of contractor employees subject to this information collection. The increase is an adjustment. Dated: November 8, 2010.

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.
    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.
