Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, 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., permitting electronic submission of
responses. 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, 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 voluntary
information collections under the
national fish advisory program. These
information collections would help EPA
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:21 Aug 02, 2021
Jkt 253001
advance equitable and effective fish
advisory programs that protect
recreational and subsistence fishers and
other underserved populations from
consumption of contaminated fish. This
information is collected under the
authority of section 104 of the Clean
Water Act, which provides for the
collection of information to be used to
protect human health and the
environment. The information to be
collected on a voluntary basis would
include the following: Fish advisory
information and fish tissue data
collected to assist in making advisory
decisions; state or tribal fish program
information for the National Fish
Advisory Program Evaluation; and,
technical program information from
time to time. EPA would analyze the
information to determine what science,
guidance, technical assistance, and
nationwide information are needed to
help state and tribes have equitable and
effective fish advisory programs. In
addition, EPA would also use the
information provided to facilitate
information sharing and to ensure
guidance documents are useful and
technically accurate.
This ICR renews the EPA ICR Number
1959.07, OMB Control No. 2040–0226,
expiration April 30, 2022. This ICR
renewal describes the estimated burden
for states and authorized tribes
associated with the information
collections related to National Fish
Program.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Potential respondents to this ICR
include: The 50 states, the District of
Columbia, the five territories,
authorized tribes with EPA-approved
WQS, and Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife
Commission.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary (Clean Water Act, Section
104).
Estimated number of respondents: Up
to 103 (total).
Frequency of response: Once in 3-year
period for some collections; periodically
for one collection.
Total estimated burden: 1,181 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $64,766.66 per
year. There are no capital or operation
& maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is
increase of 603 hours in the total
estimated annual respondent burden
compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due
to EPA’s efforts to advance equity and
environmental justice in fish advisory
programs. EPA is adding information
collections to help EPA determine what
PO 00000

science, guidance, technical assistance,
and nationwide information are needed
to help state and tribes have equitable
and effective fish advisory programs
that protect recreational and subsistence
fishers and other underserved
populations from consumption of
contaminated fish. In addition, EPA
would also use the information
provided to facilitate information
sharing and to ensure guidance
documents are useful and technically
accurate. The increase pertains to the
addition of three voluntary information
collections as part of implementing the
EPA national advisory program:
Information on state and tribal fish
advisories; state and tribal program
information for the National Fish
Advisory Program Evaluation; and,
technical program information from
time to time.

II. Background
Registration review is EPA’s periodic
review of pesticide registrations to
41839
ensure that each pesticide continues to
satisfy the statutory standard for
registration, that is, the pesticide can
perform its intended function without
unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of
the registration review process, the
Agency has completed proposed interim
decisions for all pesticides listed in the
Table in Unit IV. Through this program,
EPA is ensuring that each pesticide’s
registration is based on current
scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health
and the environment.
III. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration
review of the chemicals listed in the
Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g)
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Procedural Regulations for Registration
Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among
other things, that the registrations of
pesticides are to be reviewed every 15
years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product
may be registered or remain registered
only if it meets the statutory standard
for registration given in FIFRA section
3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used
in accordance with widespread and
commonly recognized practice, the
pesticide product must perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on the environment; that
is, without any unreasonable risk to
man or the environment, or a human
dietary risk from residues that result
from the use of a pesticide in or on food.

The registration review docket for a
pesticide includes earlier documents
related to the registration review case.
For example, the review opened with a
Preliminary Work Plan, for public
comment. A Final Work Plan was
placed in the docket following public
comment on the Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets
describe EPA’s rationales for conducting
additional risk assessments for the
registration review of the pesticides
included in the tables in Unit IV, as well
as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings
and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed
interim registration review decisions are
supported by the rationales included in
those documents. Following public
comment, the Agency will issue interim
or final registration review decisions for
the pesticides listed in Table 1 in Unit
IV.
The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum
60-day public comment period on all
proposed interim registration review
decisions. This comment period is
intended to provide an opportunity for
public input and a mechanism for
initiating any necessary amendments to
the proposed interim decision. All
comments should be submitted using
the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing
date. These comments will become part
of the docket for the pesticides included
in the Tables in Unit IV. Comments
received after the close of the comment
period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not
required to consider these late
comments.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:21 Aug 02, 2021
Jkt 253001
The Agency will carefully consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may provide a ‘‘Response to
Comments Memorandum’’ in the
docket. The interim registration review
decision will explain the effect that any
comments had on the interim decision
and provide the Agency’s response to
significant comments.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review case. For example, the
review opened with a Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. A Final
Work Plan was placed in the docket following public comment on the
Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets describe EPA's rationales for
conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of
the pesticides included in the tables in Unit IV, as well as the
Agency's subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed interim registration review
decisions are supported by the rationales included in those documents.
Following public comment, the Agency will issue interim or final
registration review decisions for the pesticides listed in Table 1 in
Unit IV.
The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all proposed interim
registration review decisions. This comment period is intended to
provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating
any necessary amendments to the proposed interim decision. All comments
should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will
become part of the docket for the pesticides included in the Tables in
Unit IV. Comments received after the close of the comment period will
be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and may provide a ``Response to Comments Memorandum'' in
the docket. The interim registration review decision will explain the
effect that any comments had on the interim decision and provide the
Agency's response to significant comments.
