Abstract: The NESHAP is applicable to primary lead processing facilities that are engaged in the production of lead metal from lead sulfide ore concentrate. The final amendment establishes new emission limits, revises testing, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. Sources subject to the NESHAP are required to comply with the stack testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements of the standard. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of primary lead smelting facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart TTT). Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 6,265 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $782,379 (per year), includes $169,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in the respondent and Agency burden and cost from the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The currently approved burden is the cumulative burden and cost from EPA PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10089 ICR Number 1856.06 (existing rule) and EPA ICR Number 1856.08 (2011 amendment). In this ICR renewal, we have combined the two ICRs to reflect current rule requirements and removed duplicate items. In addition, this ICR renewal reflects a decrease in the number of respondents from two to one since EPA ICR Number 1856.06. We have assumed that there are an estimated one respondent subject to NSPS Subpart TTT since rule is still in effect. These changes result in an apparent decrease in labor hours and costs.

Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers certification programs for pesticide applicators under section 11 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA allows EPA to classify a pesticide as ‘‘restricted use’’ if the pesticide meets certain toxicity or risk criteria. Due to the potential of improperly applied restricted use pesticides (RUPs) to harm human health or the environment, pesticides under this classification may be purchased and applied only by ‘‘certified applicators’’ or by persons under the direct supervision of certified applicators. The completion of a certification program or test is required in order to become a certified applicator. Personally identifying information (PII) is collected in the process of certifying individuals to apply RUPs as private or commercial applicators. This information is collected to differentiate between individuals sharing the same names and is subject to Agency-wide VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:05 Feb 24, 2015 Jkt 235001 security requirements governing all Privacy Act database systems at EPA. Form Numbers: EPA Form 8500–17 and EPA Form 8500–17–N. Respondents/affected entities: Registrants, commercial and private applicators, and dealers of restricted use pesticides; Indian tribes and State regulators. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (FIFRA Sections 3 & 11). Estimated number of respondents: 421,000 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 1,320,254 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $42,637,865 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 415 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This net decrease is due to EPA’s updates to burden estimates, addition of a recently-implemented optional, voluntary offering, and a change in the number of entities whose certification programs are directly overseen by EPA. This change is both an adjustment and the result of a program change. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers 
certification programs for pesticide applicators under section 11 of 
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA 
allows EPA to classify a pesticide as ``restricted use'' if the 
pesticide meets certain toxicity or risk criteria. Due to the potential 
of improperly applied restricted use pesticides (RUPs) to harm human 
health or the environment, pesticides under this classification may be 
purchased and applied only by ``certified applicators'' or by persons 
under the direct supervision of certified applicators. The completion 
of a certification program or test is required in order to become a 
certified applicator.
    Personally identifying information (PII) is collected in the 
process of certifying individuals to apply RUPs as private or 
commercial applicators. This information is collected to differentiate 
between individuals sharing the same names and is subject to Agency-
wide security requirements governing all Privacy Act database systems 
at EPA.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form 8500-17 and EPA Form 8500-17-N.
    Respondents/affected entities: Registrants, commercial and private 
applicators, and dealers of restricted use pesticides; Indian tribes 
and State regulators.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (FIFRA Sections 3 & 
11).
    Estimated number of respondents: 421,000 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 1,320,254 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $42,637,865 (per year), includes $0 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 415 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This net decrease is due to EPA's updates to burden 
estimates, addition of a recently-implemented optional, voluntary 
offering, and a change in the number of entities whose certification 
programs are directly overseen by EPA. This change is both an 
adjustment and the result of a program change.
