Download as PDF 15106 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2016 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES explanation of the collection activities and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here: Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are pesticide user companies and organizations, or entities that practice IPM or promote the use of IPM through education and training. EPA expects that most respondents will come from the following industries: Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (NAICS Code 11), Crop Production (NAICS Code 111), Nursery and Floriculture Production (NAICS Code 11142), Nursery and Tree Production (NAICS Code 111421), Forestry and Logging (NAICS Code 113), Utilities (NAICS Code 22), Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution (NAICS Code 2211), Services to Buildings and Dwellings (NAICS Code 5617), Exterminating and Pest Control Services (NAICS Code 56171), Janitorial Services (NAICS Code 56172), Landscaping Services (NAICS Code 56173), Elementary and Secondary Schools (NAICS Code 6111), Junior Colleges (NAICS Code 6112), Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (NAICS Code 6113), Hospitals (NAICS Code 622), Child Day Care Services (NAICS Code 6244), Golf Courses and Country Clubs (NAICS Code 71391), and Environment, Conservation and Wildlife Organizations (NAICS Code 813312). Estimated total number of potential respondents: 419. Frequency of response: Annual and on occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: Respondents submit a one-time PESP Membership application, an annual survey, and a PEST strategy every five years. Estimated total annual burden hours: 47,665 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $ 3,073,383. This is the estimated burden cost; there are no capital investment or maintenance and operational costs for this information collection. III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? There is an increase of 4642 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in 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 PESP members. Members are classified as IMP Promoters, IPM Users, and National IMP Users. Based on revised estimates, the number of IPM Promoters has decreased, the number of IMP users has increased, and the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:46 Mar 18, 2016 Jkt 238001 number of National IPM users has not changed. While the estimated burden per response has not changed for any category, the shift in memberships has resulted in a net increase in the overall burden. This change is an adjustment. IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Dated: March 14, 2016.

These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with the standards. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Hospital, medical, infectious waste incinerators. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce and Part 62, Subpart HHH). Estimated number of respondents: 58 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 38,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $4,370,000 (per year), includes $479,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in the respondent and Agency burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens due to a decrease in the respondent universe since the previous ICR. Based on the 2013 Agency analysis, 21 HMIWI units (16 privately owned, 1 federally owned, and 4 state owned) have been shut down over the past several years. The revised estimate results in a decreased in respondent labor hours, number of responses, and capital/O&M costs. However, there is a slight adjustment increase in respondent hours for States due to a change in assumption. In this ICR, we assume all respondents will take some time to re-familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

II. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply to? Title: School Integrated Pest Management Awards Program. ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2531.01. OMB control number: OMB Control No. 2070—NEW. ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: This new ICR covers information collection activities associated with EPA’s award program that encourages the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as the preferred approach to pest control in the nation’s schools. IPM is a smart, sensible, and sustainable approach to pest control that emphasizes the remediation of pest conducive conditions. IPM combines a variety of pest management practices to provide effective, economical pest control with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. These practices involve exclusion of pests, maintenance of sanitation, and the judicious use of pesticides. The EPA’s statutory authorities for this collection of information are set forth in the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM 21MRN1
