ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2195.04, OMB Control No. 2070–0169. ICR Status: OMB approval of this ICR is currently scheduled to expire on August 31, 2012. 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. Abstract: EPA is responsible for the regulation of pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). As revised in 2006, EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 26 protect subjects of ‘‘third-party’’ human research (i.e., research that is not conducted or supported by EPA). In addition to other protections, the regulations require affected entities to submit information to EPA and an Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to initiating, and to EPA upon the completion of, certain studies that involve human research participants. The information collection activity consists of activity-driven reporting and recordkeeping requirements for those who intend to conduct research for submission to EPA under the pesticide laws. If such research involves intentional dosing of human subjects, these individuals (respondents) are required to submit study protocols to EPA and a cognizant local Human Subjects IRB before such research is initiated so that the scientific design and ethical standards that will be employed during the proposed study E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM 20JYN1 42724 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 140 / Friday, July 20, 2012 / Notices may be reviewed and approved. Also, respondents are required to submit information about the ethical conduct of completed research that involved human subjects when such research is submitted to EPA. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2119 hours per response for research involving exposure of human subjects, and 12 hours per response for all other submitted research with human subjects. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Respondents/Affected Entities: Any entity that submits protocols and study reports for environmental research involving human subjects under FIFRA and/or FFDCA. Estimated Number of Respondents: 7 annually for research involving intentional exposure of human subjects, and 10 annually for all other submitted research with human subjects. Frequency of Response: Occasional. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 14,833 hours for research involving intentional exposure of human subjects, and 120 hours for all other submitted research with human subjects. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,299,759, which includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 5,619 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a decrease in the anticipated number of responses per year. This change is an adjustment. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to promulgate regulations to control air pollutant emissions from motor vehicles and nonroad engines, as defined in the CAA. Motor vehicles and non-road engines not meeting the applicable definitions are excluded from compliance with current regulations. A manufacturer may make an exclusion determination by itself; however, manufacturers and importers may request EPA to make such determination to ensure that their determination does not differ from the Agency’s. To request an exclusion determination, manufacturers submit a letter with a description of the engine and/or vehicle (engine type, horsepower rating, intended usage, etc.) and sales brochures or pictures. The request must be submitted to either the Gasoline Engine Compliance Center (GECC) or the Diesel Engine Compliance Center E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM 20JYN1

    Title: Submission of Protocols and Study Reports for Environmental 
Research Involving Human Subjects.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2195.04, OMB Control No. 2070-0169.
    ICR Status: OMB approval of this ICR is currently scheduled to 
expire on August 31, 2012. 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

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.
    Abstract: EPA is responsible for the regulation of pesticides under 
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). As revised in 2006, EPA 
regulations at 40 CFR part 26 protect subjects of ``third-party'' human

addition to other protections, the regulations require affected 
entities to submit information to EPA and an Institutional Review Board 
(IRB) prior to initiating, and to EPA upon the completion of, certain 
studies that involve human research participants. The information 
collection activity consists of activity-driven reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements for those who intend to conduct research for 
submission to EPA under the pesticide laws. If such research involves 
intentional dosing of human subjects, these individuals (respondents) 
are required to submit study protocols to EPA and a cognizant local 
Human Subjects IRB before such research is initiated so that the 
scientific design and ethical standards that will be employed during 
the proposed study

[[Page 42724]]

may be reviewed and approved. Also, respondents are required to submit 
information about the ethical conduct of completed research that 
involved human subjects when such research is submitted to EPA.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2119 
hours per response for research involving exposure of human subjects, 
and 12 hours per response for all other submitted research with human 
subjects. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Any entity that submits protocols 
and study reports for environmental research involving human subjects 
under FIFRA and/or FFDCA.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 7 annually for research involving 
intentional exposure of human subjects, and 10 annually for all other
