Download as PDF 11296 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 58 / Tuesday, March 26, 2019 / Notices startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart IIII. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, owners and operators of new stationary compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engines (ICE). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart IIII). Estimated number of respondents: 206,885 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and annually. Total estimated burden: 408,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $46,700,000 (per year), includes $167,000 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant increase in the burden hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This because the regulations have not changed significantly over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The increase in labor costs from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to adjustment in labor rates. We also updated the number of respondents to reflect new respondents since the approval of the prior ICR. There was no change in the capital or O&M costs. There is a small increase in the number of responses based on the adjustments to the number of respondents. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on March 31, 2019. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 Abstract: This ICR addresses the information collection activities associated with the statutory mandate requiring 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 statement; which is known as the Foreign Purchaser Acknowledgement Statement, or FPAS, must be transmitted to the Designated National Authority or 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, along with an explanatory letter to appropriate government officials of the countries that are importing the pesticide. In addition to the export notification for unregistered pesticides, FIFRA requires that all exported pesticides include appropriate labeling. There are different requirements for registered and unregistered products. Export labeling requirements meet the definition of third-party notification. In the interests of consolidating various related information collection requests, this ICR includes the burden estimates for the FPAS requirement for unregistered pesticides, as well as the labeling requirement for all exported pesticides, both registered and unregistered. Respondents/Affected Entities: Individuals or entities that either manufacture and export pesticides or that reformulate or repackage and export E:\FR\FM\26MRN1.SGM 26MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 58 / Tuesday, March 26, 2019 / Notices pesticides. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to the parties responding to this information is 3250A1. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory. Estimated total number of potential respondents: 2,240 annually. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total burden: 16,660 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Estimated total costs: $1,087,102. This is the estimated burden cost, which includes no capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 1,333 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects a reduction in the annual number of foreign purchaser acknowledgment statements received by EPA (from 3,024 to 2,774), which resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated annual burden hours for respondents (from 3,205 to 2,940 hours); and a reduction in the estimated annual burden associated with labeling requirements. The respondent burden associated with labeling requirements for unregistered exported pesticides decreased from 4,888 to 4,480 hours; and from 9,900 to 9,240 hours associated with labeling requirements for registered exported pesticides. The decrease in burden associated with labeling requirements is due to a reduction in the number of respondents per calendar years 2015– 2017. Total labor costs for respondents decreased due to a decrease in the estimated number of respondents per calendar year from 2015–2017 and an update to the wage rate estimates, which incorporated higher estimates for benefits than was used in the previous renewal. These changes qualify as adjustments. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ) to new residential hydronic heaters, forced-air furnaces, or other central heaters manufactured either on or after May 15, 2015 and sold or distributed in the United States. The residential hydronic heater and forcedair furnace NSPS establishes a certification program, instead of the usual NSPS requirement that each affected facility demonstrate compliance with emission limits through performance testing. Under this certification program, a single heating appliance is tested to demonstrate compliance with particulate matter (PM) emission limits for an entire model line which could consist of thousands of stoves. The use of a certification approach significantly reduces the compliance burden, including information collection, for the manufacturers of hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces. Each manufacturer subject to Subpart QQQQ is required to keep records of all documentation pertaining to the certification testing for each model line, the results of the quality assurance program inspections, and a sealed sample of each heater or furnace upon which certification tests were performed and certification granted. Each approved test laboratory and third-party certifier must maintain records consisting of all documentation pertaining to each certification test, quality assurance program inspection and audit test. Manufacturers must also submit the test reports and other documentation to EPA when they apply for a certificate of compliance for each model line. These reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: New residential hydronic heaters, forced-air furnaces, or other central heaters manufactured either on or after May 15, 2015 and sold or distributed in the United States. These regulations also apply to EPA-approved testing laboratories and EPA-approved thirdparty certifiers. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 60 Subpart QQQQ).

    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on March 31, 
2019. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or 
sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending 
at OMB. 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
    Abstract: This ICR addresses the information collection activities 
associated with the statutory mandate requiring 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 statement; 
which is known as the Foreign Purchaser Acknowledgement Statement, or 
FPAS, must be transmitted to the Designated National Authority or 
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, along with an explanatory letter to appropriate government 
officials of the countries that are importing the pesticide. In 
addition to the export notification for unregistered pesticides, FIFRA 
requires that all exported pesticides include appropriate labeling. 
There are different requirements for registered and unregistered 
products. Export labeling requirements meet the definition of third-
party notification. In the interests of consolidating various related 
information collection requests, this ICR includes the burden estimates 
for the FPAS requirement for unregistered pesticides, as well as the 
labeling requirement for all exported pesticides, both registered and 
unregistered.

pesticides. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) 
code assigned to the parties responding to this information is 3250A1.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 2,240 annually.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total burden: 16,660 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Estimated total costs: $1,087,102. This is the estimated burden 
cost, which includes no capital investment or maintenance and 
operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 1,333 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease reflects a reduction in the annual 
number of foreign purchaser acknowledgment statements received by EPA 
(from 3,024 to 2,774), which resulted in a corresponding decrease in 
the estimated annual burden hours for respondents (from 3,205 to 2,940 
hours); and a reduction in the estimated annual burden associated with 
labeling requirements. The respondent burden associated with labeling 
requirements for unregistered exported pesticides decreased from 4,888 
to 4,480 hours; and from 9,900 to 9,240 hours associated with labeling 
requirements for registered exported pesticides. The decrease in burden 
associated with labeling requirements is due to a reduction in the 
number of respondents per calendar years 2015-2017. Total labor costs 
for respondents decreased due to a decrease in the estimated number of 
respondents per calendar year from 2015-2017 and an update to the wage 
rate estimates, which incorporated higher estimates for benefits than 
was used in the previous renewal. These changes qualify as adjustments.
