This information collection program is designed to provide EPA with assurances that the packaging of pesticide products sold and distributed to the general public in the United States meets standards set forth by the Agency pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants must certify to the Agency that the packaging or device meets these standards. There are no forms associated with this information collection activity.

The estimated total respondent burden is expected to increase by 614 hours from 4,893 for the previous ICR renewal hours to 5,507 hours for this renewal. The increase is in burden is a result of a number of factors. First, the average burden hours per response increased from 4.20 hours to 8.04 hours per submission. The average burden per response is an average overall all response types. Based on comments received during consultations with stakeholders, EPA increased the burden per response for CRP certifications that do not require data. Second, there has been a change in the distribution of responses among the four response types. The number of responses is expected to decrease from 1,165 in the last ICR approval to 685. Although the estimated number of responses for the current ICR renewal is expected to be significantly less than the last ICR approval, there is a net shift from less-burdensome (CRP certifications without data) to more-burdensome (CRP certifications with data) type responses. This increase is partially due to the expiration of the exclusive use period for certain pesticide chemicals; registrants with products using these chemicals will be required to provide their own CRP test data, which will have to be reviewed for human safety/health risk concerns.
