This information collection activity will enable EPA to collect information needed to track the use of registered 1080 collars and the record keeping requirements associated with their use. This ICR affects four States (Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wyoming) that monitor the program plus one additional registrant. This ICR pertains to monitoring activities associated with collar use and to the preparation and submission of an annual monitoring report to EPA that are over and above requirements that are either conditions of registration or obligations associated with the handling and regulation of any restricted use pesticide product. Applicators maintain records, and the registrants/lead agencies do monitoring studies and submit the reports. EPA receives annual monitoring reports from registrants or State lead agencies.
