pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA
received 3 comments during the
comment period. Any additional
comments on this ICR should be
submitted to EPA and OMB within 30
days of this notice.
EPA has established a public docket
for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA–
HQ–OPP–2011–0886, which is available
for online viewing at https://
www.regulations.gov, or in person
viewing at the OPP Regulatory Public
Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/

Title: Application for New and
Amended Pesticide Registration.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew
an existing approved collection. This
ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31,
2012. Under OMB regulations, the
Agency may continue to conduct or
sponsor the collection of information
while this submission is pending at
OMB.
Abstract: This ICR renewal will allow
EPA to collect necessary data to
evaluate an application of a pesticide
product as required under Section 3 of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
E:\FR\FM\17MYN1.SGM
17MYN1
mstockstill on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
29336
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 96 / Thursday, May 17, 2012 / Notices
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA), as amended by the Food
Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of
August 3, 1996. Under FIFRA, EPA
must evaluate pesticides thoroughly
before they can be marketed and used in
the United States, to ensure that they
will not pose unreasonable adverse
effects to human health and the
environment. Pesticides that meet this
test are granted a license or
‘‘registration’’ which permits their
distribution, sale and use according to
requirements set by EPA to protect
human health and the environment. The
producer of the pesticide must provide
data from tests done according to EPA
guidelines or other test methods that
provide acceptable data. These tests
must determine whether a pesticide has
the potential to cause adverse effects on
humans, wildlife, fish and plants,
including endangered species and nontarget organisms, as well as possible
contamination of surface water or
groundwater from leaching, runoff and
spray drift. EPA also must approve the
language that appears on each pesticide
label. A pesticide product can only be
used according to the directions on the
labeling accompanying it at the time of
sale, through its use and disposal.
Responses to the collection of
information are mandatory (see 40 CFR
152). Respondents may claim all or part
of a notice as CBI. EPA will disclose
information that is covered by a CBI
claim only to the extent permitted by,
and in accordance with, the procedures
in 40 CFR part 2.
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.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average from 14 to 840
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: 1,683.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 8,136.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
168,204.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$13,435,600, includes no annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the estimates from the last
approval: There is an annual respondent
burden increase of 92,024 hours as a
result of 4,946 additional expected
responses, primarily from ‘‘Type B’’
activities that involve a registrant or
applicant assembling and submitting an
application for registration of a new or
amended product that contains a
currently registered active ingredient.
The increase reflects the Agency’s
tracking of information collected under
FIFRA section 3 over the past three
years, including increased responses for
labeling or labeling amendments. This
change is an adjustment.

Title: Application for New and Amended Pesticide Registration.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved
collection. This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: This ICR renewal will allow EPA to collect necessary data
to evaluate an application of a pesticide product as required under
Section 3 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
[[Page 29336]]
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of August
3, 1996. Under FIFRA, EPA must evaluate pesticides thoroughly before
they can be marketed and used in the United States, to ensure that they
will not pose unreasonable adverse effects to human health and the
environment. Pesticides that meet this test are granted a license or
``registration'' which permits their distribution, sale and use
according to requirements set by EPA to protect human health and the
environment. The producer of the pesticide must provide data from tests
done according to EPA guidelines or other test methods that provide
acceptable data. These tests must determine whether a pesticide has the
potential to cause adverse effects on humans, wildlife, fish and
plants, including endangered species and non-target organisms, as well
as possible contamination of surface water or groundwater from
leaching, runoff and spray drift. EPA also must approve the language
that appears on each pesticide label. A pesticide product can only be
used according to the directions on the labeling accompanying it at the
time of sale, through its use and disposal.
Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR 152). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice as CBI. EPA
will disclose information that is covered by a CBI claim only to the
extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in 40 CFR
part 2.
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.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average from
14 to 840 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: 1,683.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 8,136.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 168,204.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $13,435,600, includes no annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the estimates from the last approval: There is an annual
respondent burden increase of 92,024 hours as a result of 4,946
additional expected responses, primarily from ``Type B'' activities
that involve a registrant or applicant assembling and submitting an
application for registration of a new or amended product that contains
a currently registered active ingredient. The increase reflects the
Agency's tracking of information collected under FIFRA section 3 over
the past three years, including increased responses for labeling or
labeling amendments. This change is an adjustment.
