time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP19–502–
000, as noted in the caption of this
Notice.
Specifically, the Commonwealth LNG
Project would be located on the west
side of the Calcasieu Ship Channel near
its entrance to the Gulf of Mexico in
Cameron Parish, Louisiana and it will
consist of one liquefied natural gas
(LNG) plant that will include six
liquefaction trains with a peak capacity
of 9.5 MTPA of LNG; six fullcontainment LNG storage tanks with a
capacity of 240,000 cubic meters of LNG
storage; one marine loading berth; and
a 3.04 miles of 30-inch-diameter natural
gas pipeline that will connect the LNG
facility with the existing interstate and
intrastate pipeline systems of Kinetica
Partners, LLC and EnLink Bridgeline
Holdings, LP for the purpose of
supplying feed gas to the project.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules (18 CFR 157.9),
within 90 days of this Notice, the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
seven copies of filings made in the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
proceeding with the Commission and
must mail a copy to the applicant and
to every other party. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, and will be
notified of any meetings associated with
the Commission’s environmental review
process. Environmental commentors
will not be required to serve copies of
filed documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the eFiling link at https://www.ferc.gov.
Persons unable to file electronically
should submit an original and 7 copies
of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission,
888 First Street NE, Washington, DC
20426.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What information is EPA particularly
interested in?
Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA
specifically solicits comments and
information to enable it to:
1. 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.
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: School Integrated Pest
Management Awards Program
ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2531.02.
OMB control number: OMB Control
No. 2070–0200.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on May 31, 2020.
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.
Abstract: This ICR covers the
paperwork activities associated with
EPA’s program to encourage the use of
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as
the preferred approach to pest control in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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 Agency intends to use the
information collected through this ICR
to encourage school districts to
implement IPM programs and to
recognize those that have attained a
notable level of success. Since IPM
implementation occurs along a
continuum, the School IPM (SIPM)
incentive program will recognize each
milestone step a school district takes to
begin, grow, and sustain an IPM
program. This program has five award
categories—Great Start, Leadership,
Excellence, Sustained Excellence, and
Connector. The first four categories are
stepwise levels that are reflective of the
effort, experience, and, ultimately,
success that results from implementing
EPA-recommended IPM tactics that
protect human health and the
environment.
EPA’s vision is that all students in the
U.S. will experience the benefits
provided by an IPM program in their
school district. The Agency’s IPM
implementation efforts are based on a
wholesale approach aimed at
kindergarten through 12th grade public
and Tribal schools. Schools with pest
infestations are not only exposed to
potential harm to health and property,
but also to stigmatization. The School
IPM recognition program will give
districts across the nation the
opportunity to receive positive
reinforcement through public
recognition of their efforts in
implementing pest prevention and
management strategies.
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:
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 16.5 hours per
response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this ICR
are school districts or entities that
represent them. Entities potentially

Obligation to respond: Voluntary.
Estimated total number of potential

Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of

Estimated total annual burden hours:
875 hours.
Estimated total annual costs: $81,000.
There are no capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs.
III. Are there changes in the estimates
from the last approval?
EPA does not expect any changes in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. However,
there is an increase in the estimated
burden costs for both the Agency and
the respondents. This increase reflects
increases in the wage rates since the
creation of the ICR. We note that in the
creation of the ICR, the benefits (46.3
percent of the unloaded wage) was
mistakenly excluded from the
calculation of the fully loaded wages for
the Agency, resulting in the latter being
much lower than the actual values.
Correcting this in the renewal results in
an increase for the Agency’s estimated
burden costs that is disproportionately
larger than the estimated burden cost
increase for the respondents. 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

II. Background
EPA regulates pesticides under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136
et seq., which governs the production,
use, distribution, and sale of pesticides.
Under FIFRA, pesticides distributed or
sold in the United States must first be
registered with EPA unless they qualify
for an exemption. A cornerstone of the
pesticide registration process is the data
requirements that applicants must fulfill
regarding the pesticide’s effects on
human health, the environment, and in
some cases, its efficacy in controlling
pests.
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

The burden of demonstrating that a
product meets the standards for
registration rests on the registrant or
applicant for registration. To obtain
registration, applicants are responsible
for citing or generating all data
necessary to meet data requirements
specified by EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR
part 158. An ecological risk assessment
is one key assessment EPA performs to
determine what risks are posed by a
pesticide and whether changes to the
use or proposed use are necessary to
protect the environment. To inform
such assessments, EPA requires a range
of data in specific categories including:
Product chemistry, environmental and
mammalian toxicity, environmental
fate, residue chemistry, reentry
exposure, and spray drift.
EPA’s historical process for evaluating
pesticide ecological risks has relied on
toxicity information from studies
conducted with single active ingredients
based on the lack of information on
pesticide interactions and the
expectation that they are rare. In 2013,
the National Research Council (NRC)
(Ref. 1) stated that toxicological
interactions between pesticide active
ingredients that produce GTA effects are
rare and suggested that the Agency
consider pesticide active ingredient
interactions when the best available
scientific evidence supports the
evaluation.
However, in a lawsuit challenging
EPA’s 2014 decision to register a new
pesticide product containing two
herbicide active ingredients (Enlist Duo
Herbicide) (Ref. 2), the plaintiffs
presented evidence—previously
unknown to EPA—that the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office (USPTO) had
granted a patent for claims that Enlist
Duo produced GTA effects towards pest
species. EPA subsequently discovered
that a number of other registrants were
making similar claims of GTA effects
towards pest species before the USPTO,
but were not disclosing these GTA
claims to EPA. Based on the new
information regarding the potential
synergistic effects on non-target
organisms when the two pesticide active
ingredients of Enlist Duo Herbicide are
applied together, EPA asked the court to
remand the Enlist Duo Herbicide
registration decision to EPA for
consideration of its potential for
synergistic effects (Ref. 3).
Subsequently, in 2016, and 2017, EPA
received petitions asking it to require
registrants to provide information on
potential synergy for consideration in
EPA’s ecological risk assessments. In
addition, subsequent public comments
submitted regarding pesticide regulatory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?
Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)),
EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:
1. 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.
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.
