OIRA Conclusion Action: Comment filed on proposed rule	Conclusion Date: 01/24/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 11/25/1994
Terms of Clearance: This ICR for the proposed plant pesticide regulation and related exemptions is not approved. EPA has failed to demonstrate that the information is the least burdensome necessary, as required by 5 CFR 1320.6. In the proposed rule and associated tolerance exemptions, EPA has proposed several categories of plant pesticides that would be excluded from coverage and thus any reporting requirements. However, EPA is working to develop other exemptions for low risk plant pesticides that could further reduce the public comments on additional exclusions (e.g., viral sequences) and develop the least burdensome final rule possible given the additional burden for special labeling of plant pesticides. If the labeling requirements change, EPA will need to modify the ICR. In addition, for the final rule ICR, EPA should use testing burdens that are consistent with OMB guidance at that time (ICR assumes one third of total testing cost is an information collection burden).
