SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR AN

INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST (ICR)

1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

Notice of Pesticide Registration by States to Meet a Special Local Need (SLN) under FIFRA Section 24(c)

OMB NO. 2070-0055; EPA NO. 0595.10

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

This data collection program is designed to provide the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, the Agency) with the necessary data to review approval of State-issued pesticide registrations. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), Section 24(c) authorizes the States to register additional uses of federally registered pesticides for distribution and use within the State to meet a special local need (SLN) (Attachment A). A State-issued registration under FIFRA section 24(c) is deemed a federal registration for the purposes of the pesticide's use within the State's boundaries. A State must notify EPA, in writing, of any action it takes, i.e., when it issues, amends, or revokes a State registration. The Agency has 90 days to disapprove the registration. In such cases, the State is responsible for notifying the affected registrant.

2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA requires this information to ensure that the States do not issue any registrations that might conflict with other requirements in FIFRA, or with section 408 of the Federal Food Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) which require that a tolerance exist for any pesticide used on a food or feed commodity (Attachment B). FIFRA section 24(c)(3) mandates that if the Administrator determines that a registration issued by a State is inconsistent with the FFDCA or if the use of a pesticide registered by the State constitutes an imminent hazard, the Administrator may disapprove the registration.

2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The potential respondents to this information collection activity are the States, which FIFRA section 2(aa) defines to include Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the islands of the Pacific Territory, and American Samoa. The information "users" are the Agency decision makers within the U.S. EPA Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) and is used to ensure conformity with FIFRA and FFDCA. The States are required to collect, from the manufacturer or grower groups, adequate information to support the section 24(c) application for registration or amendment. Both the State and the manufacturer or grower group are required to keep records.

3. NON DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA

3(a) Non duplication

Not applicable. This is the only information collection activity of its kind and information collected in this data collection program is collected only once per receipt of an application for a FIFRA section 24(c) registration. Consequently, the possibility for duplication does not exist.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

In proposing to renew this ICR, EPA published a Federal Register Notice on December 10, 2008 (73 FR 75094) and provided a 60-day public notice and comment period. The Agency did not receive any public comment during that period.

3(c) Consultations

In addition to informal consultation between States and the EPA during the submission and review of SLN registration applications, which occurs on an ongoing basis, EPA contacted several stakeholders to for their assessment of the regulatory burden estimates expressed by the Agency in this ICR. One stakeholder responded.

Mr. John R. Lake

Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture

Phone: (717) 772-5211

The respondent indicated that the burden and cost estimates were on the higher end of a reasonable range. Additionally, the respondent indicated that the Agency should focus on improving the management and accessibility of publically available data. The respondent also commented on the need to improve the guidelines for submittal of information. The full response is contained Attachment H.

3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

Not applicable. This activity is conducted only once per receipt of an application for a FIFRA section 24(c) registration. Consequently, there is no way that the EPA can reduce the frequency of the collection.

3(e) General Guidelines

The recordkeeping activities briefly described in this ICR exceed OMB’s guideline that agencies not require that records be retained for more than 3 years (5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)(iv)). As authorized under FIFRA section 8, EPA regulations require that registrants retain records containing research data relating to registered pesticides (including all data submitted to EPA in support of a registration - see 40 CFR 169.2(k)) for as long as the registration is valid and the producer is in business. However, the burden related to the recordkeeping requirements is

covered under another ICR (see OMB Control No. 2070-0028, Recordkeeping Requirements for Producers of Pesticides under Section 8 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)).

In addition, this ICR does not include any estimated burden or costs related to the third party activities associated with pesticide product labeling. In 1995, OMB determined, in the context of OMB Control No. 2070-0060, Application for New and Amended Pesticide Registration, that the Agency does not need to estimate burden or costs for the third party disclosure requirement involving the registrant’s disclosure of product specific information to potential users and the general public through the pesticide labeling. This activity is not considered to be a collection of information subject to approval under the PRA because the information that must be included as the product labeling has been approved and provided by EPA. (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2)).

3(f). Confidentiality

The Agency estimates that less than 0.1% of the 24(c) registrations are for new products, and thereby requiring the submission of a Confidential Statement of Formula. In addition, any data and/or information brought to the Agency in conjunction the submission of 24(c) registrations may be claimed as trade secret, commercial or financial information and must be protected from disclosure by EPA under FIFRA section 10 and the associated regulation as contained in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. All CBI data submitted to the EPA under FIFRA is handled strictly in accordance with the provisions of the FIFRA Confidential Business Information Security Manual.

3(g) Sensitive Questions

Not applicable. No information of a sensitive or private nature is requested in conjunction with this collection activity. In addition, this information collection activity complies with the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB circular A-108.

4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED

4(a) Respondents/NAICS Code

Section 2(aa) of FIFRA defines State to include any of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and American Samoa.

(4) The Agency may request, when appropriate, that a State submit any data used by the State to determine that unreasonable adverse effects will not be caused.

4(b)(ii) Respondent Activities

The following are the activities in which an applicant must engage in order to obtain a State registration under FIFRA section 24(c).

Gather data	Proposed label, product formulation (if applicable), name of applicant, name of product, federal registration number (if applicable), and any other information required by the State.
Submit materials to the State	Compile necessary data and materials. Complete application for State registration (EPA Form 8570-25) and submit to State
Store, file, and maintain the information	Applicant must maintain records of information submitted to the State for as long as the State registration is active.

A State must engage in the following activities in order to comply under this data collection program:

Compile information	Organize data submitted by registrant (or grower group) to develop the SLN justification. Registrant must maintain records of information submitted to the State.
Review information	Evaluate the data: 1. Determine whether there is a special local need for the registration; 2. Determine that use of the product for which registration is sought will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on humans or the environment; 3. For use of a product with public health claims, determine that the product warrants the claims made, i.e., efficacy determination; 4. Review the proposed labeling submitted with the application to determine State and federal compliance; 5. Issue or amend State registration.
Notify Federal Government	Complete and submit EPA Form 8570-25 and all accompanying data and materials. Respond to any Agency questions or concerns.
Store, file, and maintain the data	Maintain copies of the information and data submitted to EPA.
Respond to Registrant (if necessary)	Notify registrant if Federal Government disapproves the State's registration.

5. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED - AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

5(a) Agency Activities

EPA must conduct the following activities under this data collection activity:

Read and record State-submitted information	EPA Form 8570-25 and the application is screened, jacket created, and information is recorded in electronically for tracking purposes.
Review data submissions	Review materials for adherence to federal requirements of label integrity, lack of imminent risk, and the existence of appropriate tolerances.
Publish summary of 24(c)s	Publish, on a regular basis, in the Federal Register, a summary of all State registrations received and those disapproved.
Notify State (if necessary)	Notify the State if the registration is disapproved.
Store/file/maintain the data	Maintains an electronic reference file on all FIFRA section 24(c) applications received and approved.

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

The section 24(c) application form and any supporting materials are received and date-marked to start the 90-day clock. They are screened for completeness, a master file jacket is created for the incoming application, and the case is assigned a unique identifier. Identifying information then is extracted for the required FR Notice of receipt, for the Pesticide Product Information System (PPIS) inventory of all 24(c) actions, and for tracking records.

The file then is reviewed for substantive acceptability, and any scientific data is routed for review by appropriate specialists. When all reviews are completed a decision is made to accept or disapprove the application.

If the decision is to disapprove the application, the State is notified, and a notice of disapproval is published in the FR. The disapproval is recorded in the PPIS data base. If the decision is to accept the application, this is recorded in the master file, and no further action is required.

5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

Not applicable. As identified in section 4(a) of this supporting statement, Section 24 of FIFRA applies directly only to the government agencies of the 50 states, Washington D.C., and the territorial governments of the United States; it does not apply to other entities. States are not small entities as defined under the Regulatory Flexibility Act and the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Small entity flexibility does not exist under this information collection activity because the respondent community does not consist of any small entities. While pesticide manufacturers and grower groups may be affected by EPA-State activities under this ICR, any activities they undertake are in response to FIFRA Section 24, which expressly delegates certain pesticide registration authority to States. These entities must comply with State procedures to obtain a special local need registration under FIFRA section 24(c). Consequently, the Agency cannot offer them any flexibility without intruding on State processes.

5(d) Collection Schedule

Not applicable. This activity is conducted only once per receipt of an application for a FIFRA section 24(c) registration. Consequently, there is no set schedule for collection of this information.

6. ESTIMATING BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

6(a)(1) Applicant Burden

As discussed in further detail under section 6(e) of this supporting statement, the Agency estimates the average burden for applicants for State registrations under FIFRA section 24(c) to equal approximately 39 hours per response. This includes 14 hours of management labor, 19 hours of technical labor and 6 hours of clerical labor per response. The Agency expects that approximately 693 applications will be submitted annually during the next 3 years, based on annual average from 2005-2007. The Agency estimates an annual applicant burden of 27,027 hours.

6(a)(2) State Agency Burden

As discussed in further detail in sections 3(c) and 6(b) of this supporting statement, EPA estimates the State Agency burden to average 13 hours per response. This includes an estimated 12.3 hours of technical labor and 0.7 hours of clerical labor per State agency response. The Agency anticipates that approximately 693 SLN applications will be submitted annually over the next 3 years, based on annual average from 2005-2007. The Agency estimates an annual State Agency burden of 9,009 hours.

6(a)(3) Overall Burden

The overall respondent burden associated with this collection is estimated to be 36,036 hours per year. Respondents include both the State governments and the companies filing for State registrations. No changes have been made in the requirements for Section 24(c) applications, and no changes have been made to the overall provisions of this information collection activity.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Cost

Consistent with recent ICR renewals, OPP is using labor cost estimates from Agency economists with respect to wages, benefits and overhead for all labor categories for affected industries, state government, and EPA employees. This approach uses a transparent and consistent methodology and current publicly-available data to provide more accurate estimates and allow easy replication of the estimates.

Methodology: The methodology uses data on each sector and labor type for an Unloaded wage rate (hourly wage rate), and calculates the Loaded wage rate (unloaded wage rate + benefits), and the Fully loaded wage rate (loaded wage rate + overhead). Fully loaded wage rates are used to calculate respondent costs. This renewal uses data from 2007.

Unloaded Wage Rate: Wages are estimated for occupations (management, technical, and clerical) within applicable sectors. The Agency uses average wage data for the relevant sectors available in the National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) at http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm.

Sectors: The specific North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and website for each sector is included in that sector’s wage rate table. Within each sector, the wage data are provided by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). The SOC system is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data (see http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm ).

Loaded Wage Rate: Benefits represent 43% of unloaded wage rates, based on benefits for all civilian non-farm workers, from http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t01.htm.

Fully Loaded Wage Rate: The loaded wage rate is multiplied by 50% (EPA guidelines 20-70%) to get overhead costs.

A copy of the formula work sheets used to estimate the labor rates and to derive the fully loaded rates and overhead costs for this renewal listed in Attachment F.

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

For this ICR renewal, the Agency is using data on internal OPP Divisions that provide significant support and analysis for the FIFRA special local need ICR program. This data is taken from the Time and Attendance Information System (TAIS), which archives the Agency’s Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) for most OPP program activities. In the past, the Agency burden calculations for this ICR reflected only activities for the special local need ICR lead divisions (the Registration Division (RD), the Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division (BPPD), and the Antimicrobial Division (AD)). The 2009 renewal has added the appropriate FTE activity data from the Health Effects Division (HED), the Biological and Economic Analysis Division (BEAD), Special Review and Re-registration Division (SRRD), Field and External Affairs Division (FEAD) and the Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED). This approach reflects that OPP Divisions work together to complete the activities related to OPP special local need reviews¹. The Agency believes that using data from the TAIS reflects the changes to the internal operations for implementing and administering special local need activities. The major impetus for internal program realignment was to implement the requirements of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 and the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 (PRIA) as reauthorized.

Using this new source of data the estimated number of Agency FTE’s dedicated to special local need activities is approximately 1 managerial FTE as shown in Table 2, 2 technical FTEs as shown in Table 3, and 1 clerical FTE as shown in Table 4. The aggregated Agency estimated FTEs dedicated to special local need activities is 4 and the burden hours are 8,320, assuming 2,080 hours per FTE.

AD	BEAD	BPPD	EFED	FEAD	HED	RD	SRRD
<1	<1	<1	<1	<1	<1	<1	<1
Agency total							1

Annual Agency burden hours were calculated using the number of hours per FTE multiplied by the number of FTE’s (2080 * 1 = 2,080).

To determine Agency costs, the Agency used the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates of labor rates for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the Federal Executive Branch (NAICS 999100). The managerial labor rate is based on the Standard Occupational Code (SOC) for management occupations; the technical labor rate is based on the SOC for life, physical and social science occupations; and the clerical labor rate is based on the SOC for office and administrative support occupations. The labor rates are fully loaded and indexed to 2007 dollars. The fully loaded hourly mean wage rate estimate for managerial occupations is $103 for an annual FTE cost of $214,240 ($103 per hour * 2,080 hours). For technical occupations, the fully loaded mean wage rate is $71 for an annual FTE cost of $147,680. And for clerical occupations, the fully loaded mean wage rate is $41 for an annual FTE cost of $85,280. (See Worksheet for NAICS 999100 EPA or Federal Government)

To calculate the Agency’s estimated annual cost of special local need activities, the number of FTEs allocated to special local need activities is multiplied by the cost per FTE. This represents the Agency’s estimate of its cost that will result from special local need activities for each of the next three years. Annual estimated management costs are $214,240 (1 FTE * $214,240 per FTE); technical costs are $295,360 (2 FTE * $147,680 per FTE); and clerical costs are $85,280 (1 FTE * $85,280 per FTE). The total estimated Agency cost is $594,880.

6(d). Bottom Line Hours and Costs

Table 5: Total Annual Burden and Cost Summary

	TOTAL
	Hours	Costs
Respondents (applicants & states)	36,036	$2,401,245
Agency	8,320	$594,880

6(e) Reasons For Changes in Burden

The increase in the estimated applicant burden is a result of the increase in the average number of petitions received from 2005-2007. In the last renewal for this ICR the annual petition rate was only 450 per year. This trend accounts for the higher burden figures for this ICR renewal. No other burden changes have occurred. This renewal represents a burden increase of 12,636 (from 23,400 to 36,036) burden hours and the change reflects an adjustment to the Agency’s previous estimate.

6(f) Burden Statement

The annual respondent burden for this ICR is estimated to average 52 hours per response (39 hours per applicant and 13 hours per State), including time for compiling the information/data submitted by the registrant, reviewing the information for special local needs determination, completing paperwork to notify the federal government, storing/filing/maintaining the data, and responding back to the registrant if the registration is disapproved by EPA. The burden estimate includes hours spent by the registrant in preparing the application for submission to EPA.

The Agency has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0651, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the OPP Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-4400, One Potomac Yard (South Building), 2777 S. Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA. This docket facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

This listing fulfills the display requirements in section 3507(f) of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) for EPA regulations. The listing at 40 CFR 9.1 displays this OMB Control number for the following regulations:

Good Laboratory Practice Standards 160

State Registration of Pesticide Products 162.153

1 ? The Agency burden related to OPP’s Information Technology and Resource Management Division (ITRMD) processing activities are not included in the burden estimate because ITRMD provides the preliminary data processing and tracking for many OPP ICR activities including tolerance petitions. These systems are integrated for efficient processing, tracking, and maintaining data but they do not readily lend themselves to a clear burden breakdown by ICR activity.

2 ? The FTE burden in AD, BEAD, BPPD, EFED, FEAD, HED, and SRRD across labor categories (managerial, technical and clerical) amounted to significantly less than 1 FTE. The estimate for the Agency FTE for each labor category was rounded up to account for the contribution of these divisions to the special local need FTE burden.
