Short Statement: This change in burden hours per response is a result of changes to the data items on Form 3540-1, and well as an accounting of the burden of submitting certain information voluntarily or as part of current practice. Specifically, this burden estimate accounts for the new burdens related to providing a copy of the label as well as complete contact information, including a telephone number and email addresses, for the shipper, importer of record, licensed broker, carrier and ultimate consignee when supplying name and address information. In addition, EPA is accounting for the burden of voluntarily providing supporting documentation for registered and unregistered pesticides, active ingredients and percentage of each for registered pesticides, as well as intended use information for unregistered pesticides.
