Title: Pesticide Spray Drift Reduction
Technologies.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2472.01,
OMB Control No. 2070—New.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:58 May 27, 2014
Jkt 232001
ICR Status: This request is for
approval of a new collection.
Abstract: EPA intends to initiate a
voluntary information collection for
research to verify the effectiveness of
application technologies for agricultural
pesticide sprays that have the potential
to significantly reduce pesticide spray
drift. The focus of this research is on
technologies, such as spray nozzles,
shrouds and shields, and nozzle/drift
reducing adjuvant chemical
combinations, which are used for aerial
or groundboom applications to row and
field crops. Collectively these
technologies are referred to as drift
reduction technologies (DRTs). The
voluntary program would encourage the
identification and use of DRTs that can
substantially reduce drift of pesticide
spray droplets from the target
application site (e.g., a corn field)
downwind to non-target areas.
Exposures and adverse effects to
humans, wildlife, and crops and other
vegetation from pesticide spray drift are
well recognized. Published research
suggests 1–10% or more of applied
agricultural pesticide sprays drift from
the target field. EPA believes there are
application technologies that have the
potential to significantly reduce the
amount of spray drift. As these
technologies are identified, their driftreducing potential needs to be verified.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by the voluntary
collection activities under this ICR
include pesticide application equipment
manufacturers, chemical manufacturers,
pesticide registrants, university
researchers, and others who have an
interest in reducing spray drift. The
North American Industrial
Classification System (NAICS) codes for
the principal respondents include
32532, 111, 541710 and 611310.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents: 12
companies (total).
Estimated average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 539 hours
(annualized). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $73,000
(annualized), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation and maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: This is a
new ICR.

ICR Title: Compliance Requirement
for Child-Resistant Packaging.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0616.11,
OMB Control No. 2070–0052.
ICR status: The current OMB approval
for this ICR is scheduled to expire on
May 31, 2014. Under OMB regulations,
the Agency may continue to conduct or
sponsor the collection of information
while this submission is pending at
OMB.
Abstract: This information collection
program is designed to provide EPA
with assurances that the packaging of
pesticide products sold and distributed
to the general public in the United
States meets standards set forth by the
Agency pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA). Registrants must certify to
the Agency that the packaging or device
meets these standards. Section 25(c)(3)
of FIFRA authorizes EPA to establish
standards for packaging of pesticide
products and pesticidal devices to
protect children and adults from serious
illness or injury resulting from
accidental ingestion or contact. The law
requires that these standards are
designed to be consistent with those
under the Poison Prevention Packaging
Act, administered by the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Unless a pesticide product qualifies for
an exemption, if the product meets
certain criteria regarding toxicity and
use, it must be sold and distributed in
child-resistant packaging.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this ICR include
large and small entities engaged in
manufacturing pesticide chemicals,
wholesale merchandizing of pesticide
products, or pest management activities.
The North American Industrial

Classification System (NAICS) codes for
respondents under this ICR include
325320 (Pesticide and other Agricultural
Chemical Manufacturing), 424690
(Other Chemical and Allied Products
Merchant Wholesalers), and 561710
(Exterminating and Pest Control
Services).
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory.
Estimated number of respondents:
1,733.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 5,507 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $ 306,880 (per
year). There are no annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs
associated with this information
collection.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 614 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase is an adjustment
due to revised estimates of the burden
per response and a net shift in the type
of submissions. The estimated average
burden per response increased from
4.20 hours to 8.04 hours per submission.
Based on comments received during
consultations with stakeholders, EPA
increased the burden per response for
CRP certifications without data. The
average burden per response is an
average over all response types. In
addition, there has been a change in the
distribution of responses among the
response types. Although the estimated
number of responses for the current ICR
renewal is expected to be is expected to
decrease from 1,165 in the last ICR
approval to 685, there is a net shift from
less-burdensome (CRP certifications
without data) to more-burdensome (CRP
certifications with data) type responses.
