Abstract: This ICR covers the activities and estimated burden and costs associated with 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 EPAs 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 EPAs 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 ICR renewal provides the Paperwork Reduction Act burden assessment for the FIFRA program specific activities associated with using a standardized electronic format for only the STAG program reporting.
