IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7
U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby approves
the requested cancellations and
amendment to terminate a certain use of
dodecylguanidine hydrochloride (DGH)
registration identified in Tables 1 and 2
of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency
orders that the product registrations
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II.
are hereby cancelled and amended to
terminate the affected use. Any
distribution, sale, or use of existing
stocks of the products identified in
Tables 1 and 2 of Unit II. in a manner
inconsistent with any of the Provisions
for Disposition of Existing Stocks set
forth in Unit VI. will be considered a
violation of FIFRA.
V. What is the agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that
a registrant of a pesticide product may
at any time request that any of its
pesticide registrations be cancelled or
amended to terminate one or more uses.
FIFRA further provides that, before
acting on the request, EPA must publish
a notice of receipt of any such request
in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period,
the EPA Administrator may approve
such a request. The notice of receipt for
this action was published for comment
in the Federal Register of July 21, 2016
(81 FR 47381) (FRL–9948–85). The
comment period closed on August 22,
2016.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
EPA’s existing stocks policy
published in the Federal Register of
June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) provides
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:19 Sep 20, 2016
Jkt 238001
that: ‘‘If a registrant requests to
voluntarily cancel a registration where
the Agency has identified no particular
risk concerns, the registrant has
complied with all applicable conditions
of reregistration, conditional
registration, and data call ins, and the
registration is not subject to a
Registration Standard, Label
Improvement Program, or reregistration
decision, the Agency will generally
permit a registrant to sell or distribute
existing stocks for 1 year after the
cancellation request was received.
Persons other than registrants will
generally be allowed to sell, distribute,
or use existing stocks until such stocks
are exhausted.’’
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products which are
currently in the United States and
which were packaged, labeled, and
released for shipment prior to the
effective date of the cancellation action.

10324–213, 10324–215, and 10324–216.
The effective date of this cancellation is
September 21, 2016. Because the
Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with
these pesticide products, upon
cancellation, EPA anticipates allowing
registrants to sell and distribute existing
stocks of these products until March 21,
2018. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing
the pesticides identified in Table 1 of
Unit II., except for export consistent

Table 1 and Table 2 of Unit II
Because the Agency has identified no
significant potential risk concerns
associated with these pesticide
products, upon cancellation of the
products or uses identified in Table 1
and Table 2 of Unit II., EPA anticipates
allowing registrants to sell and
distribute existing stocks of these
products until September 21, 2017.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, the EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., allowing electronic submission of
responses. The 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. At that time, the
EPA will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: This ICR is for activities
related to the implementation of the
EPA’s New Source Review (NSR)
program, for the time period between
May 1, 2017, and April 30, 2020, and
renews the previous ICR. Title I, part C
of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act)—
‘‘Prevention of Significant
Deterioration,’’ and part D—‘‘Plan
Requirements for Nonattainment
Areas,’’ require all states to adopt
preconstruction review programs for
new or modified stationary sources of
air pollution. In addition, the provisions
of section 110 of the Act include a
requirement for states to have a
preconstruction review program to
manage the emissions from the
construction and modification of any
stationary source of air pollution to
assure that the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards are achieved and
maintained. Tribes may choose to
develop implementation plans to
address these requirements.
Implementing regulations for these
three programs are promulgated at 40
CFR 49.101 through 49.105; 40 CFR
49.151 through 49.173; 40 CFR 51.160
through 51.166; 40 CFR part 51,
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
64903
Appendix S; and 40 CFR 52.21 and
52.24. In order to receive a construction
permit for a major new source or major
modification, the applicant must
conduct the necessary research, perform
the appropriate analyses and prepare
the permit application with
documentation to demonstrate that their
project meets all applicable statutory
and regulatory NSR requirements.
Specific activities and requirements are
listed and described in the Supporting
Statement for the ICR.
State, local, tribal or federal reviewing
authorities review permit applications
and provide for public review of
proposed projects and issue permits
based on their consideration of all
technical factors and public input. The
EPA, more broadly, reviews a fraction of
the total applications and audits the
state and local programs for their
effectiveness. Consequently,
information prepared and submitted by
sources is essential for sources to
receive permits, and for federal, state,
and local environmental agencies to
adequately review the permit
applications and thereby properly
administer and manage the NSR
programs.
Information that is collected is
handled according to EPA’s policies set
forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2,
subpart B—Confidentiality of Business
Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also
section 114(c) of the Act.
Form numbers: 5900–246, 5900–247,
5900–248, 5900–340, 5900–341, 5900–
342, 5900–343, 5900–344, 5900–390,
and 5900–391.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
those which must apply for and obtain
a preconstruction permit under part C or
D or section 110(a)(2)(C) of title I of the
Act. In addition, state, local and tribal
reviewing authorities that must review
permit applications and issue permits
are affected entities.
Title: Prevention of Significant
Deterioration and Nonattainment New
Source Review (Renewal).
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory [see 40 CFR part 49, subpart
C; 40 CFR part 51, subpart I; 40 CFR part
52, subpart A; 40 CFR part 124, subparts
A and C].
Estimated number of respondents:
73,762 (total); 73,639 industrial facilities
and 123 state, local and tribal reviewing
authorities.
Frequency of response: On occasion,
as necessary.
Total estimated burden: 5,516,675
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $428,760,519
(per year). This includes $3,466,314

annually in outsourced start-up costs for
preconstruction monitoring.
Changes in estimates: There is a
decrease of 2,417,665 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease has two primary
causes: (1) A significant decrease in the
estimated number of industrial facilities
subject to CAA title I, part C permitting
as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court
ruling in Utility Air Regulatory Group
(UARG) v. EPA (134 S.Ct. 2427 (2014));
and (2) a significant decrease in the
estimated number of permits and
registrations on tribal lands based on the
progress in, and experience with,
implementing the tribal NSR program.

at 40 CFR 49.101 through 49.105; 40 CFR 49.151 through 49.173; 40 CFR
51.160 through 51.166; 40 CFR part 51, Appendix S; and 40 CFR 52.21 and
52.24. In order to receive a construction permit for a major new source
or major modification, the applicant must conduct the necessary
research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the permit
application with documentation to demonstrate that their project meets
all applicable statutory and regulatory NSR requirements. Specific
activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting
Statement for the ICR.
State, local, tribal or federal reviewing authorities review permit
applications and provide for public review of proposed projects and
issue permits based on their consideration of all technical factors and
public input. The EPA, more broadly, reviews a fraction of the total
applications and audits the state and local programs for their
effectiveness. Consequently, information prepared and submitted by
sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and for federal,
state, and local environmental agencies to adequately review the permit
applications and thereby properly administer and manage the NSR
programs.
Information that is collected is handled according to EPA's
policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also
section 114(c) of the Act.
Form numbers: 5900-246, 5900-247, 5900-248, 5900-340, 5900-341,
5900-342, 5900-343, 5900-344, 5900-390, and 5900-391.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are those which must apply for and obtain a preconstruction
permit under part C or D or section 110(a)(2)(C) of title I of the Act.
In addition, state, local and tribal reviewing authorities that must
review permit applications and issue permits are affected entities.
Title: Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment
New Source Review (Renewal).
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory [see 40 CFR part 49,
subpart C; 40 CFR part 51, subpart I; 40 CFR part 52, subpart A; 40 CFR
part 124, subparts A and C].
Estimated number of respondents: 73,762 (total); 73,639 industrial
facilities and 123 state, local and tribal reviewing authorities.
Frequency of response: On occasion, as necessary.
Total estimated burden: 5,516,675 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $428,760,519 (per year). This includes
$3,466,314
[[Page 64904]]
annually in outsourced start-up costs for preconstruction monitoring.
Changes in estimates: There is a decrease of 2,417,665 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease has two primary causes: (1) A
significant decrease in the estimated number of industrial facilities
subject to CAA title I, part C permitting as a result of the U.S.
Supreme Court ruling in Utility Air Regulatory Group (UARG) v. EPA (134
S.Ct. 2427 (2014)); and (2) a significant decrease in the estimated
number of permits and registrations on tribal lands based on the
progress in, and experience with, implementing the tribal NSR program.
