There is an increase of 59,385 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA's updating of burden estimates for this collection based upon historical information on the number of responses anticipated for some ICs (recorded as adjustments); and the inclusion of an additional prior ICR titled, Exemptions of Certain Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) Derived from Newer Technologies (OMB Control No. 2070-0214; Rulemaking RIN-2070-AK54), which is considered program change. Based upon revised estimates and the inclusion of an additional IC, the total number of responses anticipated across categories has increased by 32,627 with a corresponding increase in the associated burden hours. While burden hours have increased, the annual total costs to respondents have decreased due to updated guidance on the calculation of overhead in fully loaded wages.
