Abstract: EPA uses contractors to
perform services throughout the nation
with regard to environmental
emergencies involving the release or
threatened release of oil, radioactive
materials or hazardous chemicals that
may potentially affect communities and
the surrounding environment. The
Agency may request contractors
responding to any of these types of
incidents to conduct background checks
and apply government-established
suitability criteria in Title 5 of the CFR
(Administrative Personnel), Sections
731.104 (Appointments Subject to
Investigation), 732.201 (Sensitivity
Level Designations and Investigative
Requirements), and 736.102 (Notice to
Investigative Sources), when
determining whether employees are
acceptable to perform on given sites or
on specific projects. In addition to
emergency response contractors, EPA
may require background checks for
contractor personnel working in
sensitive sites or sensitive projects. The
background checks and application of
the government’s suitability criteria
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:55 Apr 07, 2015
Jkt 235001
must be completed prior to contract
employee performance. The contractor
shall maintain records associated with
all background checks. Background
checks cover citizenship or valid visa
status, criminal convictions, weapons
offenses, felony convictions, and parties
prohibited from receiving federal
contracts.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Private
Contractors.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit
under 5 CFR 731.104, 732.201 and
736.102.
Estimated number of respondents:
1,000.
Frequency of response: Annual.
Total estimated burden: 1,000 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $190,900 (per
year), which includes no annualized
capital or operation and maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 450 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This is an adjustment to correct
an error made when the current ICR was
approved. While the currently approved
supporting statement included 1,000
burden hours, this number was
incorrectly entered into OMB’s system
as 450 hours. The correct hour burden,
1,000 hours, has not changed.

you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
Under section 5 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can
allow manufacturers to field test
pesticides under development.
Manufacturers are required to obtain an
EUP before testing new pesticides or
new uses of pesticides if they conduct
experimental field tests on 10 acres or
more of land or one acre or more of
water.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the
Agency has determined that the
following EUP application may be of
regional and national significance, and
therefore is seeking public comment on
the EUP application:
Submitter: Syngenta Crop Protection,
