Abstract:
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 firms 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 containment structure regulations apply to 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, who enforce FIFRA regulations through cooperative agreements with EPA.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
This decrease reflects three revisions to the estimated annual burden. First, EPA received very few waiver requests for complying with the non-refillable container regulations, so the estimated rate of registrants requesting waivers decreases from 5% to 1%. The decrease in estimated waiver requests resulted in a corresponding decrease in the associated burden. Second, since registrant repacking activities are similar to the repacking activities conducted by refillers and swimming pool supply companies, EPA increased the average annual burden per registrant respondent from 1 hour to 12.5 hours per respondent to be consistent with the average burden per refiller or swimming pool supply company. Third, for entities subject to the containment requirements, some activities in the previous ICR were one-time activities completed by the compliance date of August 16, 2009. This ICR includes only the ongoing annual information collection activities for the containment requirements, resulting in a corresponding decrease in the estimated annual burden per respondent from the previous ICR. These changes are adjustments.
