Abstract: The codification of the data requirements will result in increased clarity for regulated entities, reducing burden. Increased clarity is expected to reduce the number of Type B applications in the short term, specifically incomplete applications. The final rule is expected to reduce burden hours by 168 hours from reduced paperwork burden associated with the application process. EPA estimates a total annual respondent burden of 101,094 hours from paperwork burden from application for new and amended products. Increased clarity is expected to reduce the amount of data submitted to EPA, for example unnecessary data pertaining to pests for which efficacy data are not needed. The final rule is expected to reduce burden hours by 4,515 hours from reduced data generation burden and thus reduce paperwork. EPA estimates a total annual respondent burden of 1,416,871 from paperwork burden from data generation for new and amended products. EPA already accounts for the activities associated with the final rule in the currently approved ICR (#0277.20), which covers most activities associated with new and amended registrations.

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: EPA estimates the final rule will result in an average of 12 fewer submissions of incomplete data packages that do not support desired label claims, saving registrants $15,000 in paperwork costs related to application submission. Further, the Agency estimates the final rule will reduce unnecessary data generation paperwork burden by $315,000 annually. This is a total annual reduction in paperwork burden of $330,000 on average, equivalent to an annual reduction in burden hours of 4,683. This is a program change.
