Title: Notification of Chemical
Exports—TSCA Section 12(b).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
0795.12, OMB Control Number 2070–
0030.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew
an existing approved collection. This
ICR is scheduled to expire on August
31, 2006. Under OMB regulations, the
Agency may continue to conduct or
sponsor the collection of information
while this submission is pending at
OMB.
Abstract: Section 12(b)(2) of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
that any person who exports or intends
to export to a foreign country a chemical
substance or mixture that is regulated
under TSCA sections 4, 5, 6 and/or 7
submit to EPA notification of such
export or intent to export. Upon receipt
of notification, EPA will advise the
government of the importing country of
the U.S. regulatory action with respect
to that substance. EPA uses the
information obtained from the submitter
via this collection to advise the
government of the importing country.
Responses to the collection of
information are mandatory (see 40 CFR
part 707). Respondents may claim all or
part of a notice as CBI. EPA will
disclose information that is covered by
a CBI claim only to the extent permitted
by, and in accordance with, the
procedures in 40 CFR part 2.
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, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9 and included on the related
collection instrument or form, if
applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 0.878 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
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES_1
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:59 Jul 20, 2006 Jkt 208001
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; 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:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are companies that export from
the United States to foreign countries, or
that engage in wholesale sales of,
chemical substances or mixtures.
Frequency of Collection: Annual.
Estimated Average Number of
Responses for Each Respondent: 25.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
350.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 7,550 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$382,130.
Changes in Burden Estimates: This
request reflects an increase of 100 hours
(from 7,450 hours to 7,550 hours) in the
total estimated respondent burden from
that currently in the OMB inventory.
This increase represents the net effect of
an increase in the estimated number of
notices sent to EPA and a decrease in
the number of firms sending notices,
based on EPA’s recent experiences with
TSCA section 12(b) notices. This
increase is an adjustment.

Title: Tolerance Petitions for
Pesticides on Food/Feed Crops and New
Inert Ingredients.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0597.09;
OMB Control No. 2070–0024.
Abstract: This information collection
will enable EPA to collect adequate data
to support the establishment of
pesticide tolerances pursuant to section
408 of the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). A pesticide may
not be used on food or feed crops unless
EPA has established a tolerance for the
pesticide residues on that crop, or
established an exemption from the
requirement to have a tolerance.
Responses to this collection are required
to obtain tolerances or exemptions from
tolerances for pesticides used on food or
feed crops, pursuant to section 408 of
FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a, as amended by
FQPA (Pub. L. 104–170). Confidential
Business Information (CBI) submitted to
EPA in response to this information
collection is protected from disclosure
under FIFRA section 10.
This ICR only applies to the
information collection activities
associated with the submission of a
petition for a tolerance action. It is
EPA’s responsibility to ensure that the
maximum residue levels likely to be
found in or on food/feed crops are safe
for human consumption through a
careful review and evaluation of residue
chemistry and toxicology data. In
addition, it must ensure that adequate
enforcement of the tolerance can be
achieved through the testing of
submitted analytical methods. If the
data are adequate for EPA to determine
that there is a reasonable certainty that
no harm will result from aggregate
exposure, the Agency will establish the
tolerance or grant an exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance.
Under the FFDCA, any person may
petition EPA to propose the issuance of
a regulation establishing, modifying, or
revoking (a) a tolerance for a pesticide
chemical residue in or on food, or (b) an
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES_1
exemption from the requirement to have
a tolerance for such residue. Section 408
of FFDCA requires petitioners submit an
information summary of the petition
and of the data, information and
arguments submitted or cited in support
VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:31 Jul 20, 2006 Jkt 208001
of the petition. In addition, EPA
encourages petitioners to voluntarily
submit additional data in support of
their petitions to help the Agency
determine whether there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result from
aggregate exposure.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 1,726 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: Any
person seeking a tolerance action.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
150.
Frequency of Response: As Needed.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
258,900.
Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost:
$23,973,150.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
increase or decrease in hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens.
