Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 37 / Thursday, February 24, 2022 / Notices
II. What action is the Agency taking?
This notice announces receipt by EPA
of requests from a registrant to cancel
7969–430 and 7969–432 pesticide
products registered under FIFRA section
3 (7 U.S.C. 136a) or 24(c) (7 U.S.C.

III. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C.
136d(f)(1)) provides that a registrant of
a pesticide product may at any time
request that any of its pesticide
registrations be canceled. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the
request, EPA must publish a notice of
receipt of any such request in the
Federal Register.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C.
136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that before acting
on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public
comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use
termination. In addition, FIFRA section
6(f)(1)(C) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C))
requires that EPA provide a 180-day
comment period on a request for
voluntary cancellation or termination of
any minor agricultural use before
granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of
the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines
that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse
effect on the environment.
The registrant in Table 2 of Unit II,
has requested that EPA waive the 180day comment period. Accordingly, EPA
will provide a 30-day comment period
on the proposed requests.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for cancellation should submit
such withdrawal in writing to the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products

have been subject to a previous
cancellation action, the effective date of
cancellation and all other provisions of
any earlier cancellation action are
controlling.

Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products that are
currently in the United States and that
were packaged, labeled, and released for
shipment prior to the effective date of
the cancellation action. For this
voluntary cancellation request, the
registrant indicates that the products
listed in Table 1 of Unit II are not in the
channels of trade because they were
never commercialized in the United
States. Therefore, no existing stocks
provision is needed. The cancellation
will be effective on the date of
publication of the cancellation order in
the Federal Register. Thereafter,
registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing the pesticides
identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR),
‘‘Renewal of Information Collection
Request for the Continuous Release
Reporting Requirement Including
Analysis for Use of Continuous Release
Reporting Forms’’ (EPA ICR No.
1445.15, OMB Control No. 2050–0086)
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork

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: Pursuant to section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, in the first FR
notice published on May 30, 2018, EPA
solicited comments and information
pertaining to the Continuous Release
Reporting Requirements (CRRR) under
Section 103(a) of CERCLA, as amended.
CRRR requires the person in charge of
a vessel or facility immediately to notify
the National Response Center (NRC) of
a hazardous substance release into the
environment if the amount of the release
equals or exceeds the substance’s
reportable quantity (RQ). The RQ of
every hazardous substance can be found
in Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4. If the
source and chemical composition of the
continuous release do not change and
the level of the continuous release does
not significantly increase, a follow-up
written report to the EPA Region one
year after submission of the initial
written report is also required. The
person in charge must notify the NRC
and EPA Region of a change in the
source or composition of the release,
and under section 103(a) of CERCLA, a
significant increase must be reported
immediately to the NRC. Finally, any
change in information submitted in
support of a continuous release
notification must be reported to the EPA
Region. Section 103(f)(2) of CERCLA
provides facilities relief from peroccurrence notification release
requirements if the subject release is
continuous and stable in quantity and
rate.
The Continuous Release Reporting
Requirement allows the Federal
government to determine whether a
Federal response action is required to
control or mitigate any potential adverse
effects to public health, welfare or the
environment. The release information is
also available to EPA program offices
and other Federal agencies that evaluate
the potential need for additional
regulations, new permitting
requirements for specific substances or
sources, or improved emergency
response planning. State and local
government authorities and facilities
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703

subject to the CRRR use release
information for local emergency
response planning. The public, which
has access to release information
through the Freedom of Information
Act, may request release information on
what types of releases are occurring in
different localities and what actions, if
any, are being taken to protect public
health, welfare and the environment. 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 burden estimates, numbers and
types of respondents, wage rates and
unit and total costs for this ICR renewal
will be revised and updated, if needed,
during the 60-day comment period
while the ICR Supporting Statement is
undergoing review at OMB.
Form Numbers: EPA Form 6100–10,
Continuous Release Reporting Form.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
not defined. The use and release of
hazardous substances are pervasive
throughout industry. EPA expects many
different industrial categories to report
hazardous substance releases under the
provisions of the CRRR. No one industry
sector or group of sectors is
disproportionately affected by the
information collection burden.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory if respondents want reduced
reporting for continuous releases. See
the abstract for details.
Estimated number of respondents:
4,192.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 334,472
hours (average per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $19,797,899
(average per year), including $243,200
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs (average per year).
Changes in estimates: Any change in
burden or cost resulting from the 60-day
OMB review period will be described
and explained in this section when the
updated ICR Supporting Statement is
completed.

Director, Office of Emergency Management.

The Continuous Release Reporting Requirement allows the Federal

to EPA program offices and other Federal agencies that evaluate the
