Each affected firm is required to complete the filing for and submit their fee payment by January 15 of each year. Annually, the Agency provides registrants a list of the registered products currently registered with the Agency. Registrants are provided the opportunity to review the list, determine its accuracy, and remit payment of the maintenance fee. The list of products has space identified for marking those products to be supported and those products that are to be canceled. The registrants are also instructed to identify any products on the list which they believe to be transferred to another company, and to add to the list any products which the company believes to be registered that are not on the Agency-provided list. The failure to pay the required fee for a product will result in cancellation of that product’s registration. Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.96 hours per response. The ICR, a copy of which is available in the docket, provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 1,720. Frequency of response: Annual. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,645 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $129,088. Changes in the estimates from the last approval: The renewal of this ICR will result in an overall increase of $3,288 in the total estimated respondent cost identified in the currently approved ICR. This change of increase in cost is merely because of the labor cost increase since the last renewal. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES V. What is the Next Step in the Process for these ICRs? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the individual ICRs as appropriate. The final ICR packages will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of these ICRs to OMB and the opportunity for the public to submit additional comments for OMB consideration. If you have any questions about any of these ICRs or the approval process in general, please contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
