Abstract:
This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with the pesticide 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, and made 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.

Short Statement:
EPA made several changes to the burden in this ICR based on comments from the respondents, including a comment that the development and storage of documentation associated with the DOT authorized packaging are not included. EPA agrees and adjusted the burden requirements for registrants that distribute pesticide to refillers for repackaging (Table 6.2); registrants that repackage directly into refillable containers (Table 6.3) and agricultural pesticide refillers (Table 6.4) to account for several recordkeeping requirements associated with pesticides that are not DOT hazardous materials being distributed and sold in refillable containers that meet at least DOT Packing Group III standards. These revisions increased the estimated burden of the container regulations for pesticide registrants and agricultural pesticide refillers by 11,103 hours.
