Reader’s Guide to the DDVP Docket # OPP-2002-0302

Publication Date: December 5, 2007

EPA has created this document to provide an organizational structure to
the latest entries to the DDVP docket.  The Agency is providing the
“Readers Guide” for DDVP to allow the reader to more easily access
and navigate the various entries contained in the docket.  These entries
include EPA’s responses to the petition dated June 2, 2006 submitted
by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the documents
supporting the petition responses.  One petition response document
addresses the petition request to have EPA revoke all tolerances for
DDVP and the other response document addresses the petition request to
have EPA cancel all registrations for DDVP.  (Taken together, these 2
response documents form EPA’s response to the petition.)  In the case
where a document was used to support both EPA response documents, the
support document was entered into docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2002-0302 one time.
If a support document was already available in the docket, it was not
added again.  All materials have also been added to the DDVP Special
Review docket (EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0396).

Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 17a-8 (17 CFR 270.17a-8) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the ``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) is entitled ``Mergers of
affiliated companies.'' Rule 17a-8 exempts certain mergers and similar
business combinations (``mergers'') of affiliated registered investment
companies (``funds'') from prohibitions under section 17(a) of the Act
(15 U.S.C. 80a-17(a)) on purchases and sales between a fund and its
affiliates. The rule requires fund directors to consider certain issues
and to record their findings in board minutes. The rule requires the
directors of any fund merging with an unregistered entity to approve
procedures for the valuation of assets received from that entity. These
procedures must provide for the preparation of a report by an
independent evaluator that sets forth the fair value of each such asset
for which market quotations are not readily available. The rule also
requires a fund being acquired to obtain approval of the merger
transaction by a majority of its outstanding voting securities, except
in certain situations, and requires any surviving fund to preserve
written records describing the merger and its terms for six years after
the merger (the first two in an easily accessible place).
    The average annual burden of meeting the requirements of rule 17a-8
is estimated to be 7 hours for each fund. The Commission staff
estimates that each year approximately 468 funds rely on the rule. The
estimated total average annual burden for all respondents therefore is
3,276 hours.
    The average cost burden of preparing a report by an independent
evaluator in a merger with an unregistered entity is estimated to be
$15,000. The average net cost burden of obtaining approval of a merger
transaction by a majority of a fund's outstanding voting securities is
estimated to be $100,000. The Commission staff estimates that each year
approximately 0 mergers with unregistered entities occur and
approximately 137 funds hold shareholder votes that would not otherwise
have held a shareholder vote. The total annual cost burden of meeting
these requirements is estimated to be $13,700,000.
    The estimates of average burden hours and average cost burdens are
made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are
not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or
study. 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.
    Written comments are requested on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burdens
of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Charles Riddle, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
C/O Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549; or send an
email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
