This ICR covers the paperwork burden associated with two types of pesticide registration requests made by states, U.S. Territories, or Federal agencies under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136a et seq.: (1) Emergency exemption requests under FIFRA section 18, which allow for an unregistered use of a pesticide; and (2) Requests by states to register a pesticide use to meet a special local need (SLN) under FIFRA section 24(c). FIFRA section 18 allows EPA to grant emergency exemptions to states, U.S. Territories, and Federal agencies to allow an unregistered of a pesticide for a limited time if EPA determines that emergency conditions exists. Section 18 requests include unregistered pesticide use exemptions for specific agricultural, public health and quarantine purposes. FIFRA section 24(c) allows EPA to grant permission to a particular state to register additional uses of a federally registered pesticide for distribution and use within that state to meet a SLN.

There is an overall estimated decrease of 8,422 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This change corresponds with a decrease in the estimated average annual number of submissions that the Agency has projected it might receive in the future, i.e., the projection for the estimated number of annual FIFRA section 18 submissions decreased from 185 to 143 (burden decrease of 4,158 hours), and the projection for the estimated number of annual FIFRA section 24(c) submissions decreased from about 305 to 223 (burden decrease of 4,264 hours). This change is an adjustment.
