Abstract: This Information Collection Requests (ICR) covers the paperwork burden hours and costs associated with the information collection activities under the pesticide registration fee programs implemented through the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pesticide registrants are required by statute to pay an annual registration maintenance fee for all products registrated under Section 3 and Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In addition the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) amended FIFRA in 2004 to create a registration service fee for applications for specific pesticide registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance actions (Section 33). This ICR specifically covers the activities related to the collection of the annual registration maintenance fees, the registration fees and the burden associated with the submission of requests for fees to be waived.
