Abstract: This ICR covers the information collection activities
associated with the issuance of data-call-ins (DCIs) under section
3(c)(2)(B) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA). EPA regulates the use of pesticides under the authority of two
federal statutes: FIFRA and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA), both as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of
1996. Before manufacturers can sell pesticides in the United States,
EPA must evaluate the pesticides thoroughly to ensure that they meet
federal safety standards to protect human health and the environment.
EPA grants a ``registration'' or license that permits a pesticide's
distribution, sale, and use only after the company meets the scientific
and regulatory requirements. In evaluating a pesticide registration
application, EPA assesses a wide variety of potential human health and
environmental effects associated with the use of the product.
Applicants, or potential registrants, must generate or provide the
scientific data necessary to address concerns pertaining to the
identity, composition, potential adverse
[[Page 61145]]
effects, and environmental fate of each pesticide. The data allows EPA
to evaluate whether a pesticide has the potential to cause harmful
effects to human health and the environment, including effects to non-
target organisms, federally threatened and endangered (listed) species,
and to surface water or ground water. Through a rigorous scientific and
public process, EPA specifies the kinds of data and information
necessary to make regulatory judgments about the risks and benefits of
pesticide products under FIFRA section 3, 4 and 5, as well as the data
and information needed to determine the safety of pesticide chemical
residues under FFDCA section 408. The regulations in 40 CFR part 158
describe the minimum data and information EPA typically requires to
support an application for pesticide registration or amendment; support
the reregistration of a pesticide product; support the maintenance of a
pesticide registration by means of the data call-in process (e.g., as
used in the registration review program); or establish or maintain a
tolerance or exemption from the requirements of a tolerance for a
pesticide chemical residue.
Form numbers: 8570-4, 8574-27, 8570-28, 8570-32, 8579-34, 8570-35,
8570-36, 8570-37, 6300-3, 6300-4.
Respondents/affected entities: Pesticide registrants.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory. FIFRA section
3(c)(2)(B).
Estimated number of respondents: 385 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 2,551,600 hours (total). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $240,726,041 (total), which includes $0
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 7,194,896 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. The number of Maintenance DCIs have increased by 45
and the number of estimated Registration Review DCIs have decreased by
227. The Agency has determined that Resistance Management Plan DCIs,
will decrease from 237 to 1.
