Abstract: This ICR addresses the information collection activities associated with the mandate in section 17(a)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which 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 by EPA to the Designated National Authority or appropriate official of the government in the importing country. This information is submitted to EPA via mail or electronically through the Central Data ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 79299 Exchange (CDX) in the form of annual or per-shipment statements. EPA maintains original records and transmits copies, along with an explanatory letter, via email 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. The export labeling requirements meet the definition of third-party notification. This ICR includes burden estimates for the FPAS requirement for unregistered pesticides, as well as the labeling requirement for all exported pesticides, both registered and unregistered. The burden estimates for export labeling requirements have been consolidated in this ICR since the implementation of the 1993 pesticide export policy governing the export of pesticides, devices, and active ingredients used in producing pesticides, codified in 40 CFR part 168, subpart D. Form Numbers: EPA Form 9600–026. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are individuals or entities that either manufacture and export pesticides or that reformulate or repackage and export 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 under FIFRA section 17(a)(2) and 40 CFR part 168, subpart D. Estimated number of respondents: 2,240 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 16,660 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,265,501 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is no change in burden from that currently approved by OMB. There were adjustments to the Agency burden estimate related to the ongoing COVID– 19 public health emergency, during which time EPA had limited access to mail delivered by the postal service since March 2020. This scenario prompted EPA to announce a temporary COVID–19 flexibility to allow for secure electronic submissions (86 FR 46246, August 18, 2021) (FRL–8721–01– OCSPP). Given this circumstance, EPA cannot yet estimate the annual changes in the number of submissions over the last 3 years. Instead, this ICR relies on previous estimates and assumes the E:\FR\FM\27DEN1.SGM 27DEN1 79300 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 247 / Tuesday, December 27, 2022 / Notices numbers have largely remained the same over the past 3 years.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU) apply to three types of affected units at either new and existing major source petroleum refineries: fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU) for catalyst regeneration; catalytic reforming units (CRU); and sulfur recovery units (SRU). The rule also includes requirements for by-pass lines associated with the three affected units. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 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 the NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of petroleum refineries that operate catalytic cracking PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 units; catalytic reforming units; and sulfur recovery units. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU). Estimated number of respondents: 130 (total). Frequency of response: Semiannually. Total estimated burden: 16,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $10,000,000 (per year), which includes $8,020,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: The decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The adjustment decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of sources. Petroleum refinery capacities have been declining since 2020 and this ICR reflects updated respondent counts based on data collected by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In addition, the burden for one-time activities following implementation of the 2015 final rule in the currently approved ICR were removed. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for the existing facilities. Due to a decrease in the number of respondents, there has been a decrease in the capital/startup and/or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
