This ICR is cleared for the requested two years. As discussed in the letter from Ms. Nelson, EPA shall work to improve this outdated ICR as quickly as possible to reflect existing information collection activities including the burden resulting from applicator certificatio and training and recordkeeping and reporting by dealers and applicator imposed by States with delegated authority under FIFRA. EPA should clearly demonstrate which requirements, if any, are "customary and usual," otherwise they will be assumed to be Federally imposed burdens As EPA revises its regulations it should carefully evaluate the practical utility and burdens of recordkeeping requirements contained in 40 CFR 171.11(c)(7)(B), (E), (F), & (G). Finally, as is required b 5 CFR 1320.13 and 1320.14, EPA must submit separate ICRs for informati contained in proposed rules and information in current rules.
