EPA has completed a comprehensive draft pollinator-only ecological risk assessment for all registered agricultural uses of imidacloprid, with focus on agricultural crops that are attractive to pollinators. Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c), EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice of availability, for interested parties to provide comments and input concerning the Agency’s draft pollinator-only ecological risk assessment for imidacloprid. Such comments and input could address, among other things, the Agency’s risk assessment methodologies and assumptions, as applied to this draft pollinator-only risk assessment. The Agency will consider all comments received during the public comment period and make changes, as appropriate, to the draft pollinator-only risk assessment. EPA will then issue a revised pollinator risk assessment, explain any changes to the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments. In the Federal Register notice announcing the availability of the revised risk assessment, if the revised risk assessment indicates risks of concern, the Agency may provide a comment period for the public to submit suggestions for mitigating the risk identified in the revised risk assessment before developing a proposed registration review decision on imidacloprid. Additionally, the revised risk assessment will also address ecological risks for all other taxa, as well as a comprehensive draft human health risk assessment. 1. Other related information. Additional information on imidacloprid is available on the Pesticide Registration Review Status Web page. Information on the Agency’s registration review program and its implementing regulation is available at https://www. epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review. 2. Information submission requirements. Anyone may submit data or information in response to this document. To be considered during a pesticide’s registration review, the submitted data or information must meet the following requirements: • To ensure that EPA will consider data or information submitted, interested persons must submit the data or information during the comment period. The Agency may, at its discretion, consider data or information submitted at a later date. • The data or information submitted must be presented in a legible and useable form. For example, an English translation must accompany any material that is not in English and a VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:01 Jan 14, 2016 Jkt 238001 written transcript must accompany any information submitted as an audiographic or videographic record. Written material may be submitted in paper or electronic form. • Submitters must clearly identify the source of any submitted data or information. • Submitters may request the Agency to reconsider data or information that the Agency rejected in a previous review. However, submitters must explain why they believe the Agency should reconsider the data or information in the pesticide’s registration review. As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the registration review docket for each pesticide case will remain publicly accessible through the duration of the registration review process; that is, until all actions required in the final decision on the registration review case have been completed.

The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: This information collection request is designed to enable the EPA to provide notice to foreign purchasers of unregistered pesticides exported from the United States that the pesticide product cannot be sold in the United States. Section 17(a)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requires an exporter of any pesticide not registered under FIFRA section 3 or sold under FIFRA section 6(a)(1) to obtain a signed statement from the foreign purchaser acknowledging that the purchaser is aware that the pesticide is not registered for use in, and cannot be sold in, the United States. A copy of this FPAS must be transmitted to an appropriate official of the government in the importing country. This information is submitted in the form of annual or per-shipment statements to the EPA, which maintains original records and transmits copies thereof to appropriate government officials of the countries which are importing the pesticide. This information collection request also includes the burden imposed by export labeling requirements, which meet the definition of third-party disclosure. In addition to the export notification for unregistered pesticides, FIFRA requires that all pesticides include appropriate labeling. There are different requirements for registered and unregistered products. This information collection has been constant since the implementation of the 1993 pesticide export policy governing the export of pesticides, devices, and active ingredients used in producing pesticides. Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are individuals or entities that produce and export pesticides. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory. Estimated total number of potential respondents: 50. Frequency of response: Annual or on occasion. Estimated total burden: 17,993 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Estimated total costs: $ 1,224,655 (per year), includes no annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 6,477 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:01 Jan 14, 2016 Jkt 238001 with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPA’s updating of burden estimates for this collection based upon historical information on the number of responses per year. Based upon revised estimates, the number of exported products has decreased from 3,600 to 2,411, with a corresponding decrease in the associated burden. This change is an adjustment.
