Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 123 / Thursday, June 26, 2014 / Notices described in regulations pertaining to pesticidal substances that are produced by plants (plant-incorporated protectants) and which are codified in 40 CFR part 174. A plant-incorporated protectant is defined as ‘‘the pesticidal substance that is intended to be produced and used in a living plant and the genetic material necessary for the production of such a substance.’’ Many, but not all, plant-incorporated protectants are exempt from registration requirements under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants sometimes include in a submission to EPA for registration of plant-incorporated protectants information that they claim to be confidential business information (CBI). CBI is protected by FIFRA and generally cannot be released to the public. Under 40 CFR part 174, whenever a registrant claims that information submitted to EPA in support of a registration application for plant-incorporated protectants contains CBI, the registrant must substantiate such claims when they are made, rather than provide it later upon request by EPA. In addition, manufacturers of plant-incorporated protectants that are otherwise exempted from the requirements of registration must report adverse effects of the plant-incorporated protectant to the Agency. Such reporting will allow the Agency to determine whether further action is needed to prevent unreasonable adverse effects to the environment. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR include producers and importers of Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs). The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes for respondents under this ICR include: 325320 (Pesticide and other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing), 325414 (Biological Products (except Diagnostic) Manufacturing), 422910 (Farm Supplies Wholesalers), 422930 (Flower, Nursery Stock, and Florists’s Suppliers), 541710 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), and 611310 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory. Estimated number of respondents: 20. Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 432 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $31,371 (per year). There are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs associated with this ICR. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:51 Jun 25, 2014 Jkt 232001 Changes in the Estimates: There is increase of 43 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA’s updating of burden estimates for this collection based upon historical information on the number of CBI substantiations per year. Based upon revised estimates, the number of CBI substantiations per year has increased from 18 to 20, with a corresponding increase in the associated burden. This change is an adjustment. Spencer W. Clark, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Abstract: EPA promulgated revisions for the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Group I Polymers and Resins.

The respondent burden increased because this ICR revised the hours associated with affirmative defense, using latest estimates provided by industry during consultation. The previous ICR covers the burden associated with initial compliance of the final standard, including one-time notification of performance tests and notifications of the back-end process limits. This burden decreased because this ICR assumes that existing facilities have already submitted initial notifications and reports, and covers the burden associated with on-going compliance.
