Abstract: This ICR covers pesticide registration collection
activities supporting the statutorily mandated pesticide registration
program under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) as amended
by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). Such activities include
pesticide registration, pesticide use, pesticide sale and distribution,
pesticide permitting activities, determinations regarding whether a
product must be regulated under FIFRA or Pesticide Tolerances all which
are submitted electronically through the Agency's Central Data Exchange
(CDX) system.
The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related
materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities
and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:
Form numbers: 8570-1, 8570-4, 8570-5, 8570-17, 8570-25, 8570-27,
8570-34, 8570-35, 8570-36 and 8570-37.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR include pesticide and other agricultural chemical
manufacturing, research, and development in the physical, engineering,
and life sciences, biological products (except diagnostic)
manufacturing, colleges, universities, and professional schools, farm
supplies wholesalers, flower, nursery stock, and florist's supplies
wholesalers, state government, other chemical and allied product
merchant wholesalers, exterminating and pest control service,
management, scientific, and technical consulting services. The North
American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes are identified
in question 12 of the supporting statement.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory. FIFRA and FFDCA.
Estimated number of respondents: 15,023 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 2,234,433 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated costs: $172,873,497 (per year), includes $0
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 59,385 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA's updating of burden
estimates for this collection based upon historical information on the
number of responses anticipated for some ICs (recorded as adjustments);
and the inclusion of an additional prior ICR titled, Exemptions of
Certain Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) Derived from Newer
Technologies (OMB Control Number 2070-0214; Rulemaking RIN-2070-AK54),
which is considered program change. Based upon revised estimates and
the inclusion of an additional IC, the total number of responses
anticipated across categories has increased by 32,627 with a
corresponding increase in the associated burden hours. While burden
hours have increased, the annual total costs to respondents have
decreased due to updated guidance on the calculation of overhead in
fully loaded wages.
