Abstract: This ICR documents the Paperwork burden of the electronic collection of information for the pre-award burden activity for creating a work plan and the post-award and after-the-grant award activities related to reporting accomplishments to implement EPA's Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) program (7 U.S.C. 136u). This ICR augments the ICR entitled "EPA's General Regulation for Assistance Programs ICR" (EPA No. 0938.18; OMB No. 2030-0020) which accounts for the current PRA burden for the minimum management requirements for all recipients of EPA grants or cooperative agreements (assistance agreements). This new ICR provides OMB the burden assessment for collecting the same information in a different standardized electronic format for only the STAG grant program.

Short Statement: This is a new ICR. Relative to the baseline annual burden for reporting general management grant reporting requirements approved under EPA ICR No. 0938.18; OMB No. 2030-0020, the overall annual burden increase for FIFRA program specific activities is 6,318 hours, or 78 hours per respondent annually. This change documents the incremental burden for reporting FIFRA grant program specific activities (e.g., 5,700 environmental enforcement and endangered species activities) and provides conservative projection for program growth. This is a program change.
