This information collection request
covers the information collection activities associated with the
container design and residue removal requirements and containment
structure requirements. With respect to the container design and
residue removal requirements, the information collection activities
are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the
container regulations (pesticide registrants) and repackaging
regulations (pesticide registrants and refillers) maintain records
of test data, cleaning procedures, certain data when a container is
refilled, and other supporting information. These records are
subject to both call-in by EPA and on-site inspection by EPA and
its representatives. EPA has not established a regular schedule for
the collection of these records, and there is no reporting. With
respect to the containment structure requirements, the information
collection activities are associated with the requirement that
businesses subject to the containment structure regulations
maintain records of the: (1) Monthly inspection and maintenance of
each containment structure and all stationary bulk containers; (2)
Duration over which non-stationary bulk containers holding
pesticide and not protected by a secondary containment unit remain
at the same location; and (3) Construction date of the containment
structure. The businesses subject to the containment structure
regulations include agrichemical retailers and refilling
establishments, custom blenders and commercial applicators of
agricultural pesticides. The records have to be maintained by the
owners and operators of such businesses. There is no regular
schedule for the collection of either of these records, nor does
EPA anticipate a call-in of records at some future date. Instead,
the records would be available to inspectors to ensure that
businesses are in compliance with containment requirements. These
inspections are generally conducted by the states, which enforce
FIFRA regulations through cooperative agreements with EPA.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
