Title: Acid Rain Program.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1633.14,
OMB Control No. 2060–0258.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on June 30, 2006.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency
may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information, unless it
displays a current valid OMB control
number. The OMB control numbers for
EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR,
after appearing in the Federal Register
when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on
the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: The Acid Rain Program was
established under Title IV of the 1990
Clean Air Act Amendments. The
program calls for major reductions of
the pollutants that cause acid rain while
establishing a new approach to
environmental management. This
information collection is necessary to
implement the Acid Rain Program. It
includes burden hours associated with
developing and modifying permits,
transferring allowances, obtaining
allowances from the conservation and
renewable energy reserve, monitoring
emissions, participating in the annual
auctions, completing annual compliance
certifications, participating in the Opt-in
program, and complying with NOX
permitting requirements. Most of this
information collection is mandatory
under 40 CFR parts 72–78. Some parts
of it are voluntary or to obtain a benefit,
such as participation in the annual
auctions under 40 CFR part 73, subpart
E.

Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 110 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Electric Utilities, Industrial Sources,
and other persons.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,700.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
quarterly, and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,971,276.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 370,469 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase is due to
adjustments (379,044 hours), with
changes in program requirements
decreasing the burden (8,575 hours).
Dated: April 27, 2006.

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it
to:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimates of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.

VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
4. Minimize the burden 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. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.
II. What Should I Consider when I
Prepare My Comments for EPA?
You may find the following
suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as
possible and provide specific examples.
2. Describe any assumptions that you
used.
3. Provide copies of any technical
information and/or data you used that
support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or
costs, explain how you arrived at the
estimate that you provide.
5. Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns.
6. Offer alternative ways to improve
the collection activity.
7. Make sure to submit your
comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA,
be sure to identify the docket ID number
assigned to this action in the subject
line on the first page of your response.
You may also provide the name, date,
and Federal Register citation.
III. What Information Collection
Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply
to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are pesticide
registrants.
Title: Notice of Supplemental
Distribution of a Registered Pesticide
Product.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0278.09,
OMB Control No. 2070–0044.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on January 31,
2007. 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 OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40
of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register when approved, are

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal
Register or by other appropriate means,
such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in
certain EPA regulations is consolidated
in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: This collection activity
provides the Agency with notification of
supplemental registration of distributors
of pesticide products. EPA is
responsible for the regulation of
pesticides as mandated by Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA). Section 3(e) of FIFRA
allows pesticide registrants to distribute
or sell a registered pesticide product
under a different name instead of or in
addition to their own. Such distribution
and sale is termed ‘‘supplemental
distribution’’ and the product is termed
a ‘‘distributor product.’’ EPA requires
the pesticide registrant to submit a
supplemental statement (EPA Form
8570–5, Notice of Supplemental
Distribution of a Registered Pesticide
Product) when the registrant has entered
into an agreement with a second
company that will distribute the
registrant’s product under the second
company’s name and product name.
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 0.25 hours per
response, or 15 minutes. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
Agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purposes of collecting,
validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining
information, and disclosing and
providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 2,479.
Frequency of response: As needed.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
620 hours.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 2006 / Notices

Estimated total annual costs: $
63,066.
IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates
from the Last Approval?
There is a decrease of 380 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
decrease reflects EPA’s revised
estimates based on changes in tracking
methodology. This change is an
adjustment.
V. What is the Next Step in the Process
for this ICR?
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 pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval
process, please contact the technical
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
