SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with a minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining said information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    OSHA is requesting approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for certain information collection requirements contained
in the Temporary Labor Camps Standard (29 CFR 1910.142). The main
purpose of these provisions is to eliminate the incidence of
communicable disease among temporary labor camp residents. The Standard
requires camp superintendents to report immediately to the local health
officer the name and address of any individual in the camp known to
have, or suspected of having, a communicable disease (29 CFR
1910.142)(l)(1). Whenever there is a case of suspected food poisoning
or an unusual prevalence of any illness in which fever, diarrhea, sore
throat, vomiting or jaundice is a prominent symptom, the standard
requires the camp superintendent to report said illness immediately to
the health authority (29 CFR 1910.142)(l)(2). In addition, the Standard
requires separate toilet rooms to be provided for each sex where the
toilet rooms are shared. These rooms must be marked ``for men'' and
``for women'' by signs printed in English and in the native language of
the persons occupying the camp, or marked with easily understood
pictures or symbols (29 CFR 1910.142(d)(4)).

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     the accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Temporary Labor Camps Standard
(29 CFR 1910.142). The Agency is requesting an adjustment in the number
of burden hours from 155 hours to 258 hours. There was an increase in
the number of ``incidents of notifiable diseases'' from 1,933 cases to
2,349.
    The agency will summarize any comments submitted in response to
this notice and will include this summary in its request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Temporary Labor Camps (29 CFR 1910.142).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0096.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 2,349.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Total Number of Responses: 270,000.
    Average Time per Response: Time per response is 5 minutes (.08
hour) to report each incident to local public health authorities.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 258 hours.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0302; FRL-8359-8]

Ethylene Oxide; Reregistration Eligibility Decision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) for the pesticide ethylene oxide (ETO). The
Agency's risk assessments and other related documents also are
available in the ETO Docket. ETO is used to sterilize medical or
laboratory equipment, pharmaceuticals, and aseptic packaging, or to
reduce microbial load on musical instruments, cosmetics, whole and
ground spices or other seasoning materials and artifacts, archival
material or library objects. In North Carolina, ETO is also used to
fumigate beehive equipment (e.g., woodenware boxes and frames) and wax
or plastic combs that are contaminated with the bacteria Paenibacillus
larvae, the cause of American Foulbrood Disease. EPA has

reviewed ETO through the public participation process that the Agency
uses to involve the public in developing pesticide reregistration and
tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is
ensuring that all pesticides meet current health and safety standards.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to
ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA
has completed a RED for the pesticide, ETO under section 4(g)(2)(A) of
FIFRA. ETO is used to sterilize medical or laboratory equipment,
pharmaceuticals, and aseptic packaging, or to reduce microbial load on
musical instruments, cosmetics, whole and ground spices or other
seasoning materials and artifacts, archival material or library
objects. In North Carolina, ETO is also used to fumigate beehive
equipment (e.g., woodenware boxes and frames) and wax or plastic combs
that are contaminated with the bacteria.
    Paenibacillus larvae, the cause of American Foulbrood Disease. EPA
has determined that the database to support reregistration is
substantially complete and that products containing ETO are eligible
for reregistration provided the risks are mitigated in the manner
described in the RED. Upon submission of any required product specific
data under section 4(g)(2)(B) of FIFRA and any necessary changes to the
registration and labeling (either to address concerns identified in the
RED or as a result of product specific data), EPA will make a final
reregistration decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) of FIFRA for products
containing ETO.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these
programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be
commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide.
Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, ETO was reviewed through the
full 6-Phase public participation process. Through this process, EPA
worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the
regulatory decisions for ETO.
    The reregistration program is being conducted under congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public. During the reregistration process,
the Agency has provided ample opportunity for public comment and
stakeholder input through a full 6-Phase public participation process.
The Agency therefore is issuing the ETO RED without a comment period.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, directs that, after
submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in product
specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering
products or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''
