For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit *http://www.epa.gov/dockets.* *Abstract:* The information in this ICR enables the agency to obtain information needed to track the use of registered Livestock Protection Collar products which contain solutions of Sodium Monofluoroacetate (Compound 1080). The mandatory record-keeping requirements for these Compound 1080 collars were imposed by an administrative judge in October 1982 and confirmed by the agency in 1983. It ensures the proper use and function of the 1080 collar products, and demonstrates there is no threat of unreasonable harm to non-target animals or people. *Form Numbers:* None. *Respondents/affected entities:* Certified pesticide applicators that apply or hold inventory of 1080 collars, and the reporting agencies (state government, NAICS 999200) responsible for implementing and administering a 1080 collar monitoring program. *Respondent's obligation to respond:* Mandatory. *Estimated number of respondents:* 33 (total). *Frequency of response:* Annual. *Total estimated burden:* 1,431 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). *Total estimated cost:* $64,213 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is a decrease of 513 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects voluntary cancellation of the 1080 Livestock Protection Collar registration formerly held by the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and the removal of estimated burden associated with submission of annual Livestock Protection Collar production reports erroneously included in the previous renewal of this ICR. This resulted in a corresponding decrease in the associated burden. This change is an adjustment. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division. [FR Doc. 2017-13147 Filed 6-22-17; 8:45 am]
