This information collection provides a practical means of communication between the registrants and Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) to collect registration maintenance fees from pesticide registrants as required by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), Section 4(i)(5). Annually, the Agency provides registrants a list of the registered products currently registered with the Agency. Registrants are provided the opportunity to review the list, determine its accuracy, and remit payment of the maintenance fees. Each affected firm is required to complete the filing form and submit their fee payment by January 15 of each year. The failure to pay the required fee for a product will result in cancellation of that product?s registration. Information submitted under this ICR is considered by OPP to contain no confidential business information (CBI). If, however, registrants submit data that contains CBI or relates to trade secrets or commercial or financial information, such information is protected from disclosure under section 10 of FIFRA.
