Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks FIFRA section 6(f)(1) (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. EPA will provide a 30day comment period on the proposed requests. Thereafter, the EPA Administrator may approve such a request. 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. Because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with these pesticide products, upon cancellation of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks of these products until January 15, 2023, or the date of that the cancellation notice is published in the Federal Register, whichever is later. 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 or for proper disposal. Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES 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.

    Abstract: This ICR, which seeks to reinstate a previously approved 
ICR, covers the information collection activities associated with the 
Agency's evaluation of private sector standards and ecolabels under the 
updated Framework for the Assessment of Environmental Performance 
Standards and Ecolabels for Federal Purchasing. EPA's goal in 
developing this Framework is to create a transparent, fair, and 
consistent approach to evaluate product environmental performance 
standards and ecolabels for inclusion in EPA's Recommendations of 
Specifications, Standards, and Ecolabels for Federal Purchasing 
(``Recommendations''). The Recommendations help federal purchasers 
identify and procure environmentally preferable products and services 
which in turn, help to meet their sustainability goals and 
requirements.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form No. 9600-038.
    Respondents/affected entities: Environmental performance standards 
developers and ecolabels.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary. See 15 U.S.C. 3701 
and 42 U.S.C. 13103(b)(11).
    Estimated number of respondents: 100 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 707 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $45,322 (per year), which includes an 
estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and 
operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: This is a reinstatement, so there is 
currently no approved burden and costs. As described in more detail in 
the ICR, the program has been modified based on the previously approved 
activities associated with the 2016 pilot, including changes to the 
criteria/questions, Framework submission template, and the process for 
respondents. With this ICR, EPA is requesting approval for the average 
respondent burden that is estimated to be 8.5 hours per response, based 
on an average 12 hours for respondents that did not previously 
participate in the pilot and an average 5 hours for respondents that 
did previously participate in pilot.
