Abstract: This is a renewal of an existing information collection request (ICR) designed to provide the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the necessary information to evaluate an application for the registration of a pesticide product, as required under section 3 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) (see Attachment A). FIFRA provides EPA with the authority to regulate the distribution, sale and use of pesticides in the United States and ensure that pesticides will not pose unreasonable adverse effects to human health and the environment. Pesticides that meet this test receive a license or "registration."

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The activities in this ICR increase net respondent burden by 37,624 hours annually over the levels approved in the currently approved collection. While burden per response levels remain unchanged, the number of responses expected in certain categories has shifted as a result of using an updated data set (Section 3 registration actions annually, on average, during the years 2015-2017) to predict future registration application levels. Additionally, in this iteration of the ICR, the Agency calculates the expected annual application burden of three proposed programs that are anticipated to come online in the next three years. The average annual number of Section 3 registration actions dropped during the years 2015-2017 from 7,478 to 7,292. As a result, baseline registration levels, exclusive of the new programs, were reset at an annual averages of 205 “Type A” activities, 7,082 “Type B” activities, and 5 “Type C” activities. EPA estimates that the addition of several new fee-for-service PRIA categories will increase the annual number of Type B actions by 40. The Agency does not anticipate any paperwork burden from data generation for new products or for new active ingredients resulting from these new PRIA categories. The Antimicrobial Performance Evaluation Program (APEP) may impact up to 99 products annually, with an application burden for the registrant of each product. The Agency expects this burden to be similar to a Type B action. Furthermore, there may be a data generation burden for these products annually under this program. EPA conservatively estimates the paperwork burden for data generation under APEP may look similar to the burden for an Antimicrobial new product and has included this burden in the calculations for the Data Generation IC in this ICR. The Agency anticipates that the “Interim Process for Evaluating Potential Synergistic Effects of Pesticides During the Registration Process” will not cause a change in the number of product registrations, but will impose an additional Type A burden on registrants equivalent to about 8 active ingredients annually. The Agency does not anticipate a paperwork burden from data generation for new active ingredients or new products for the draft GTA guidance.
