Abstract: This ICR describes the burden activities for the electronic collection of information for the preaward burden activity for creating a work plan and the post-award and afterthe-grant award activities related to reporting accomplishments to implement EPA’s Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) program (7 U.S.C. 136u). In 2019, a workgroup comprised of EPA, state, and tribal representatives converted the FIFRA Work Plan and Report Template (FIFRA Template), which was in Excel, into a pilot program of a web-based system housed in the Central Data Exchange (CDX) platform, called the FIFRA Grant Database (FGD). When the permanent use of the pilot program is approved by OMB, then the use of the FGD will become mandatory, replacing the excel web-based system entirely. This ICR augments the ICR entitled ‘‘EPA’s General Regulation for Assistance Programs ICR’’ (OMB Control No. 2030–0020; EPA ICR No. 0938.18) which accounts for the current PRA burden for the minimum management requirements for all recipients of EPA grants or cooperative agreements (assistance agreements). This ICR provides the burden assessment for the FIFRA program specific activities associated with using a standardized online template for only the STAG program reporting. Form Numbers: EPA Form 5700–33H. Respondents/affected entities: State, local governments, Indian tribes, and U.S. territories that are grantees of Federal funds participating in the FIFRA STAG program.

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

    Abstract: This ICR describes the burden activities for the 
electronic collection of information for the pre-award burden activity 
for creating a work plan and the post-award and after-the-grant award 
activities related to reporting accomplishments to implement EPA's 
Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) State and 
Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) program (7 U.S.C. 136u).
    In 2019, a workgroup comprised of EPA, state, and tribal 
representatives converted the FIFRA Work Plan and Report Template 
(FIFRA Template), which was in Excel, into a pilot program of a web-
based system housed in the Central Data Exchange (CDX) platform, called 
the FIFRA Grant Database (FGD). When the permanent use of the pilot 
program is approved by OMB, then the use of the FGD will become 
mandatory, replacing the excel web-based system entirely.
    This ICR augments the ICR entitled ``EPA's General Regulation for 
Assistance Programs ICR'' (OMB Control No. 2030-0020; EPA ICR No. 
0938.18) which accounts for the current PRA burden for the minimum 
management requirements for all recipients of EPA grants or cooperative 
agreements (assistance agreements).
    This ICR provides the burden assessment for the FIFRA program 
specific activities associated with using a standardized online 
template for only the STAG program reporting.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form 5700-33H.
    Respondents/affected entities: State, local governments, Indian 
tribes, and U.S. territories that are grantees of Federal funds 
participating in the FIFRA STAG program.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, as per 40 CFR parts 
30 and 31.

    Estimated number of respondents: 81 (total).
    Frequency of response: Biannually (mid-year and end of year 
reporting).
    Total estimated responses: 162 (per year).
    Total estimated burden: 26,195 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated costs: $2,102,179 (per year), which includes an 
estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and 
operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in total estimated 
burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.
