Title: Notification of Stored Pesticides with Canceled or Suspended
Registrations Under Section 6(g) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide
and Rodenticide Act (EPA Form No. 1519.04), OMB Control Number 2070-
0109.
Expiration Date: 8/31/97. This is a request for extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 6(g) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requires any producer or exporter of
pesticides, registrant of a pesticide, applicant for registration of a
pesticide, applicant for or holder of an experimental use permit,
commercial applicator, or any person who distributes or sells any
pesticide, who possesses any pesticide which has had its registration
suspended or canceled under section 6 to notify the Administrator and
appropriate State and local officials of: (1) Such possession; (2) the
quantity of such pesticide such person possesses, and (3) the place at
which such pesticide is stored.
EPA may require affected persons to submit information on the
storage of canceled or suspended pesticides through FIFRA section 6
Suspension and/or Cancellation orders or through notices published in
the Federal Register. The formats, procedures, and identification of
persons who must submit FIFRA section 6(g) information will appear in
the Suspension/Cancellation Order or Federal Register notice itself.
The information required by FIFRA section 6(g) will be used by the
Agency for compliance monitoring purposes (identification of areas
where large amounts of suspended/canceled products are being stored,
inspection targeting to assure adequate storage and compliance with the
terms of the cancellation or suspension order, inspections to confirm
the adequacy of the registrant's recall plans, etc.), indemnification
determinations for emergency suspended and canceled products, the
determination of disposal burdens, to aid the FIFRA section 19 recall
process, and to aid the Agency in the development of a reimbursement
plan for the registrant's costs for the storage of canceled and
suspended pesticides which have been recalled under FIFRA section 19.
The information submitted is not considered confidential. However, if
any records are declared CBI by a respondent, the data will be treated
in accordance with the provisions of FIFRA section 10, and by 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 are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The
Federal Register notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting
comments on this collection of information was published on 3/5/97 (62
FR No 43); no comments were received.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.5
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; 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.

Applicant, et. al. for Pesticides.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 80,250.
Frequency of Response: 1 for both General Use Product, and
Restricted Use Product.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 120,375 hours.
