OMB control number, Title, and any Associated Form(s) OMB Control # 9000–0188, Combating Trafficking in Persons. B. Need and Uses This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors must submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements: 52.222–50, Combating Trafficking in Persons Notification. Paragraph (d) of this clause requires contractors to notify the contracting officer and the agency Inspector General of— • Any credible information they receive from any source that alleges a contractor employee, subcontractor, or subcontractor employee, or their agent has engaged in conduct that violates the policy in paragraph (b) of the clause 52.222–50; and • Any actions taken against a contractor employee, subcontractor, subcontractor employee, or their agent pursuant to this clause. Compliance Plan and Annual Certification. Paragraph (h) of the clause contains an additional requirement for contracts for supplies (other than commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items) to be acquired outside the United States and contracts for services to be performed outside the United States, with an estimated value exceeding $550,000, where the contractor is to maintain a compliance plan during the performance of the contract. This compliance plan must include an awareness program, a process for employees to report activity inconsistent with the zero-tolerance policy, a recruitment and wage plan, a housing plan, and procedures to prevent subcontractors from engaging in trafficking in persons. • Contractors are required to provide the compliance plan to the contracting officer upon request. • Contractors are required to submit a certification to the contracting officer annually after receiving an award, asserting that they have the required compliance plan in place and that there have been no abuses, or that appropriate actions have been taken if abuses have been found. • For those subcontractors required to submit a certification (see next bullet on flow down), contractors shall require that submission prior to award of the subcontract and annually thereafter. Portions of this clause flows down to all subcontractors. The requirements related to the compliance plan only flow PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 down to subcontracts exceeding $550,000 for supplies (other than COTS items) acquired and services performed outside the United States. This clause applies to commercial acquisitions, except the portions related to the compliance plan do not apply to acquisitions of COTS items. 52.222–56, Certification Regarding Trafficking in Persons Compliance Plan This provision requires apparently successful offerors to submit a certification, prior to award, that they have implemented a compliance plan and that there have been no abuses, or that appropriate actions have been taken if abuses have been found. The provision requires this certification for the portion of contracts exceeding $550,000 for supplies (other than COTS items) acquired and services performed outside the United States. This provision applies to commercial acquisitions, except acquisitions of COTS items. FAR 52.222–50, paragraph (d)— Notification. The Government uses this notification of potential violations of trafficking in persons requirements to investigate and take appropriate action if a violation has occurred. FAR 52.222–50, paragraph (h)— Compliance Plan. The Government uses the compliance plan to ascertain compliance with the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (22 U.S.C. 7104), Executive Order 13627, Strengthening Protections Against Trafficking in Persons in Federal Contracts dated September 25, 2012 (77 FR 60029, October 2, 2012) and Title XVII of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112–239, enacted January 2, 2013) or any other applicable law or regulation. FAR 52.222–50, paragraph (h) and FAR 52.222–56—Certification. The Government uses the certification to obtain reasonable assurance that the contractor and its subcontractors are aware of and complying with the requirements of the Executive Order and statute. C.

II. Background

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed 
in Table 1 of Unit I pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) and the 
Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, 
subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) provides, among other things, that 
pesticide registrations are to be reviewed every 15 years. Consistent 
with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final registration review decision, EPA will 
ultimately determine whether a pesticide continues to meet the 
registration standard in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)).
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.50, EPA initiates a registration review by 
establishing a public docket for a pesticide registration review case. 
Registration review dockets contain information that will assist the 
public in understanding the types of information and issues that the 
Agency has consider during registration review. Consistent with 40 CFR 
155.50(a), these dockets may include information from the Agency's 
files including, but not limited to, an overview of the registration 
review case status, a list of current product registrations and 
registrants, any Federal Register notices regarding any pending 
registration actions, any Federal Register notices regarding current or 
pending tolerances, risk assessments, bibliographies concerning current 
registrations, summaries of incident data, and any other pertinent data 
or information. EPA includes in these dockets a Preliminary Work Plan 
(PWP), and in some cases a continuing work plan (CWP), summarizing 
information EPA has on the pesticide and the anticipated path forward.
    Consistent with 40 CFR 155.50(b), EPA provides for at least a 60-
day public comment period on work plans and registration review 
dockets. This comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for 
public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary changes to a 
pesticide's workplan. During this public comment period, the Agency is 
asking that interested persons identify any additional information they 
believe the agency should consider during the registration reviews of 
these pesticides. The Agency identifies in each docket the areas where 
public comment is specifically requested, though comment in any area is 
welcome.
    For additional background on the registration review program, see: 
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-reevaluation.

III. What should I consider as I prepare a comment for EPA?

    This notice is directed to the public in general and may be of 
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human 
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; 
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale, 
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be 
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific 
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions 
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, 
consult the Chemical Review Manager identified in Table 1 of Unit I. In 
submitting a comment to EPA, please consider the following:
    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to the EPA 
through regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 
CD-ROM that you mail to the EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM 
as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental 
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, 
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development, 
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and 
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
