SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), 
EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from 
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of 
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork 
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply 
to?

    Title: Compliance Requirement for Child-Resistant Packaging.
    ICR number: EPA ICR No. 0616.12.
    OMB control number: OMB Control No. 2070-0052.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31, 
2017. 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 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after 
appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 
part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or 
by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection 
instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers 
for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: This information collection program is designed to 
provide the EPA with assurances that the packaging of pesticide 
products sold and distributed to the general public in the United 
States meets standards set forth by the Agency pursuant to the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants must 
certify to the Agency that the packaging or device meets these 
standards. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory. 
Section 25(c)(3) of FIFRA authorizes EPA to establish standards for 
packaging of pesticide products and pesticidal devices to protect 
children and adults from serious illness or injury resulting from 
accidental ingestion or contact. Unless a pesticide product qualifies 
for an exemption, if the product meets certain criteria regarding 
toxicity and use, it must be sold and distributed in child-resistant 
packaging. Compliance regulations are contained in 40 CFR part 157.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 114 
hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related 
materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities 
and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this ICR are entities involved in manufacturing of pesticide chemicals, 
wholesale merchandising of pesticide products, or pest management 
activities. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) 
codes for respondents under this ICR include 325320 (Pesticide and 
other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing), 424690 (Other Chemical and 
Allied Products Merchant Wholesalers), and 561710 (Exterminating and 
Pest Control Services).
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 31.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,535 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $249,292. This includes an estimated 
burden cost of $249,292 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital 
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 1,972 hours in the total estimated 
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPA's updating of burden 
estimates for this collection, including an increase in the estimated 
burden per response, and a decrease in the number of responses per 
year. This change is an adjustment.

IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as 
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for 
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another 
Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 
announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit 
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or 
the approval process, please contact the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
