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.
US Code:
7 USC 136
Name of Law: Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
There is an increase of 229 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This modest addition is associated with an increase in respondents for pesticide registration maintenance fees (from 1,471 to 1,523) and in refinements of the burden calculations. The total estimated annual respondent burden for service fee waivers has not changed. In this approval request, the annual number and distribution of responses among the three types are based on actual responses received.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
