Abstract: Section 6(a)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requires pesticide registrants to submit information to the Agency which may be relevant to the balancing of the risks and benefits of a pesticide product. Specifically, registrants are required to submit any factual information that it acquires regarding adverse effects associated with its pesticidal products, and it is up to the Agency to determine whether or not that factual information constitutes an unreasonable adverse effect. In order to limit the amount of less meaningful information that might be submitted to the Agency, EPA has defined the scope of factual information that the registrant must submit. EPA regulations at 40 CFR 159 provide a detailed description of the reporting obligations of registrants under FIFRA section 6(a)(2). Potential respondents affected by the collection activities under this ICR include anyone who holds or ever held a registration for a pesticide product issued under FIFRA section 3 or 24(c). The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 325320 (Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing).

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This increase is due to an adjustment based on activities under the ICR during the current approval period. Specifically, EPA is increasing the number of potential responses and the number of registrants of products, which results in a small increase in the number of employees being trained. There is also an increase in incident information collected on spot-on treatments and neonicotinoid pesticides due to bee kills and colony loses.
