Abstract: This ICR describes the burden activities for the
electronic collection of information for the pre-award burden activity
for creating a work plan and the post-award and after-the-grant award
activities related to reporting accomplishments to implement EPA's
Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) State and
Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) program (7 U.S.C. 136u).
In 2019, a workgroup comprised of EPA, state, and tribal
representatives converted the FIFRA Work Plan and Report Template
(FIFRA Template), which was in Excel, into a pilot program of a web-
based system housed in the Central Data Exchange (CDX) platform, called
the FIFRA Grant Database (FGD). When the permanent use of the pilot
program is approved by OMB, then the use of the FGD will become
mandatory, replacing the excel web-based system entirely.
This ICR augments the ICR entitled ``EPA's General Regulation for
Assistance Programs ICR'' (OMB Control No. 2030-0020; EPA ICR No.
0938.18) which accounts for the current PRA burden for the minimum
management requirements for all recipients of EPA grants or cooperative
agreements (assistance agreements).
This ICR provides the burden assessment for the FIFRA program
specific activities associated with using a standardized online
template for only the STAG program reporting.
Form Numbers: EPA Form 5700-33H.
Respondents/affected entities: State, local governments, Indian
tribes, and U.S. territories that are grantees of Federal funds
participating in the FIFRA STAG program.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, as per 40 CFR parts
30 and 31.
[[Page 79299]]
Estimated number of respondents: 81 (total).
Frequency of response: Biannually (mid-year and end of year
reporting).
Total estimated responses: 162 (per year).
Total estimated burden: 26,195 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated costs: $2,102,179 (per year), which includes an
estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is no change in total estimated
burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
