2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimates of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
4. 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., permitting
electronic submission of responses. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.
II. What information collection activity
or ICR does this action apply to?
Title: Plant-Incorporated Protectants;
CBI Substantiation and Adverse Effects
Reporting.
ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1693.09.
OMB control number: OMB Control
No. 2070–0142.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on May 31, 2018.
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 ICR addresses the two
information collection requirements
described in regulations pertaining to
pesticidal substances that are produced
by plants (plant-incorporated
protectants) and which are codified in
40 CFR part 174. A plant-incorporated
protectant (PIP) is defined as ‘‘the
pesticidal substance that is intended to
be produced and used in a living plant
and the genetic material necessary for
the production of such a substance.’’
Many, but not all, PIPs are exempt from
registration requirements under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants
sometimes include in a submission to
EPA for registration of PIPs information
that they claim to be CBI. CBI is

Jkt 241001
protected by FIFRA and generally
cannot be released to the public. For
most pesticide registration applications,
the current CBI regulations at 40 CFR
part 2 require that claimants
substantiate their CBI claims for their
own records when the claim is made,
and subsequently provide the
substantiation to EPA only if requested.
However, under 40 CFR part 174,
whenever a registrant claims that
information submitted to EPA in
support of a PIP registration application
contains CBI, the registrant must
substantiate such claims to EPA when
they are made. In addition, 40 CFR part
174 also requires manufacturers of PIPs
that are otherwise exempted from
registration requirements to report any
adverse effects of the PIP to the Agency
within 30 days of when the information
is first obtained. Such reporting will
allow the Agency to determine whether
further action is needed to prevent
unreasonable adverse effects to human
health or the environment.
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 21.5 hours per CBI
substantiation and 7 hours per adverse
effects reporting response. Burden is
defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
The ICR, which is available in the
docket along with other related
materials, provides a detailed
explanation of the collection activities
and the burden estimate that is only
briefly summarized here:
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this ICR
include producers and importers of
PIPs. The NAICS codes for respondents
under this ICR include: 325320
(Pesticide and other Agricultural
Chemical Manufacturing), 325414
(Biological Products (except Diagnostic)
Manufacturing), 422910 (Farm Supplies
Wholesalers), 422930 (Flower, Nursery
Stock, and Florist’s Suppliers), 541710
(Research and Development in the
Physical, Engineering, and Life
Sciences), and 611310 (Colleges,
Universities, and Professional Schools).
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 24.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
518 hours.
Estimated total annual costs: $41,892.
There are no non-burden hour
paperwork costs, e.g., investment or
maintenance and operational costs,
included in this information collection.

III. Are there changes in the estimates
from the last approval?
There is an increase of 86 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 CBI substantiations per
year. Based upon revised estimates, the
number of CBI substantiations per year
has increased from 20 to 24, with a
corresponding increase in the associated
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
