This action is a request to reinstate OMB approval for the information collection activities outlined in this document. Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: This information collection request covers the information collection activities associated with the container design and residue removal requirements and containment structure requirements. With respect to the container design and residue removal requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the container regulations (pesticide registrants) and repackaging regulations (pesticide registrants and refillers) maintain records of test data, cleaning procedures, certain data when a container is refilled, and other supporting information. These records are subject to both call-in by EPA and on-site inspection by EPA and its representatives. EPA has not established a regular schedule for the collection of these records, and there is no reporting. With respect to the containment structure requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the containment structure regulations maintain records of the: (1) Monthly inspection and maintenance of each containment structure and all stationary bulk containers; (2) duration over which non-stationary bulk containers holding pesticide and not protected by a secondary containment unit remain at the same location; and (3) construction date of the containment structure. The businesses subject to the containment structure regulations include agrichemical retailers and refilling establishments, custom blenders and commercial applicators of agricultural pesticides. The records have to be maintained by the owners and operators of such businesses. There is no regular schedule for the collection of either of these records, nor does EPA anticipate a call-in of records at some future date. Instead, the records would be available to inspectors to ensure that businesses are in compliance with VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:00 Aug 08, 2017 Jkt 241001 containment requirements. These inspections are generally conducted by the states, which enforce FIFRA regulations through cooperative agreements with EPA. Respondents/Affected Entities: Pesticide registrants and businesses who formulate pesticide products or pesticide formulation intermediates, farm supply wholesalers, swimming pool applicators, and agricultural (aerial and ground) commercial applicators. Respondent’s Obligation To Respond: Mandatory under sections 3, 8, 19, and 25 of the Federal Insecticide and Rodenticide ACT (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136f, 136q, and 136w). Estimated Number of Respondents: 23,586. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Burden: 169,660 hours per year. Estimated Total Cost: $7,296,308 per year. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
