1. Registering with CDX. To submit
electronically to EPA via CDX, a user
would register with CDX at: http://
cdx.epa.gov/epa_home.asp. CDX
registration enables EPA to authenticate
user identities and verify user
authorizations.
To register in CDX, the CDX registrant
(also referred to as ‘‘Electronic Signature
Holder’’ or ‘‘Public/Private Key
Holder’’) would agree to the Terms and
Conditions, provide information about
the user and organization, select a user-
name and password, and follow the
procedures outlined in the guidance
document for CDX available online at:
http://www.epa.gov/cdr/tools/CDX_
Registration_Guide_v0_02.pdf.
2. Submission. Those choosing to
submit electronically will use PSP to
prepare their submissions. Then the
submitter will choose ‘‘FPAS
submission’’ from the drop-down which
guides users through a ‘‘hands-on’’
process of creating an electronic
submission. Once a user completes the
relevant data fields and attaches
appropriate PDF files or other file types,
such as XML files, the web-based tool
validates the submission by performing
a basic error check and makes sure all
the required fields and attachments are
provided and complete.
Further instructions on submitting
information and instructions for
uploading PDF attachments or other file
types, such as XML will be available
through FPAS reporting guidance
available online at: https://
www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/
electronic-submissions-pesticide-
applications.
D. Can CBI be submitted using PSP?
Yes. PSP enables the user to submit
CBI and substantiate that CBI claim in
an electronic format. All information
sent by the user via CDX is transmitted
securely to protect CBI. PSP also guides
the user through the process of
submitting CBI by prompting the user to
check a CBI checkbox if using a form or
by submitting a scanned document
containing CBI by bracketing,
underlining, or otherwise marking the
confidential information on the
document prior to scanning. As with
paper-based submissions, a sanitized
copy of any document containing CBI
would be included by the user in the
electronic submission. The FPAS
reporting guidance instructs users on
how to submit CBI and substantiate CBI
claims information using PSP.
E. How will CBI be protected when
submitting via CDX?
The Agency ensures secure
transmission of the data, reports, and
other documents sent from the user
through the internet via the Transport
Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 protocol. TLS
1.0 is a widely used approach for
securing internet transactions and is
endorsed by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) as a
means for protecting data sent over the
internet. See NIST Special Publication
800–52, ‘‘Guidelines for the Selection
and Use of Transport Layer Security
(TLS) Implementations,’’ available
online at: http://csrc.nist.gov/
publications/nistpubs/800-52/SP800-
52.pdf.
In addition, PSP enables the submitter
to electronically sign, encrypt, and
transmit submissions, which the Agency
subsequently provides back to the user
as an unaltered copy of record. This
assures the user that the Agency has
received exactly what the user sent to
the Agency. PSP encrypts using a
module based on the 256-bit Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) adopted by
NIST. Details about AES can be found
on the NIST website at: http://
csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips197/
fips-197.pdf. EPA may incorporate other
encryption modules into future versions
of PSP. Information submitted via CDX
is processed within EPA by secure
systems certified for compliance with
Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS) that are available
online at: http://www.nist.gov/itl/
fips.cfm.
III. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
According to the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
that requires OMB approval under the
PRA, unless it has been approved by
OMB and displays a currently valid
OMB control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40
of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, and included on the related
collection instrument or form, if
applicable.
The information collection
requirements associated with the
electronic option for FPAS notifications
under FIFRA section 17(a)(2) and 40
CFR 168.75 were approved by OMB
pursuant to the PRA under OMB
Control No. 2070–0027 (EPA ICR No.
0161.15) on August 6, 2021. The
addition of an electronic option for
submissions does not change the
requirements or add new burden
requiring additional OMB approval. The
annual paperwork burden per FPAS
notification is estimated to average
2,940 hours for hardcopy submissions
and 1,803 hours for electronic
submissions. This burden estimate
includes the time needed to review
instructions, search existing data
sources, gather and maintain the data
needed, and complete, review, and
submit the required export notification
to EPA. For additional details, please
see the Information Collection Request
document that is available in the docket.
Send any comments about the
accuracy of the burden estimate, and
any suggested methods for further
minimizing respondent burden,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques, to the Director,
Regulatory Support Division, Office of
Mission Support (2822T),
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC
20460–0001. Please remember to
include the OMB control number in any
correspondence, but do not submit any
FPAS notifications or related questions
to this address.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
Dated: August 12, 2021.
Michal Freedhoff,
Assistant Administrator, Office of Chemical
Safety and Pollution Prevention.
