Abstract: Producers of pesticides and pesticide devices must
maintain certain records with respect to their operations and make such
records available for inspection and copying as specified in section 8
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and
in regulations at 40 CFR part 169.
This information collection is mandatory under 40 CFR part 169. It
is used by the Agency to determine compliance with FIFRA. The
information is used by EPA Regional pesticide enforcement and
compliance staffs, the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance
(OECA), and the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) within the Office of
Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), as well as the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), and other Federal agencies, States under Cooperative Enforcement
Agreements, and the public. 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.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Producers of pesticides and
pesticide devices for sale or distribution in or exported to the United
States.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 169).
Estimated number of respondents: 19,027 (total).
Frequency of response: Annual.
Total estimated burden: 15,078 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $909,655 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 42,054 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease of 42,054 hours is a result of our
reassessment of the assumptions used to estimate the burden of this
ICR. Adjustments resulted from corrections of clerical or computational
errors in the previous ICR renewal supporting statement. Further
adjustments to the burden estimates resulted from (1) adjustments in
the salary computation for industry to reflect current wage rates, (2)
adjustments for inflation, and (3) adjustment to the number of
respondents.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
