ICR Status: This is a new ICR that combines two currently approved ICRs. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: This ICR covers the paperwork burden hours and costs associated with the information collection activities under the pesticide registration fee programs. Pesticide registrants are required by statute to pay an annual registration maintenance fee for all products registered 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 12, 2010 Jkt 223001 registration service fee system for applications for specific pesticide registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance actions (FIFRA Section 33). This ICR specifically covers the activities related to both the collection of the pesticide registration fees and the submission and processing requests for the fees to be waived. PRIA authorizes EPA to process requests for waivers of registration application fees. The ICR covers the collection activities associated with requesting a fee waiver and involves requesters submitting a waiver request, information to demonstrate eligibility for the waiver, and certification of eligibility. Waivers are available for small businesses, for minor uses, and for actions solely associated with the InterRegional Project Number 4 (IR–4). State and Federal agencies are exempt from the payment of fees. FIFRA requires EPA to collect annual pesticide product registration maintenance fees from pesticides registrants. Respondents complete and submit EPA Form 8570–30 indicating the respondent’s liability for the registration maintenance fee. Annually the Agency provides registrants with a list of their products currently registered with the Agency. Registrants are provided the opportunity to review the list, determine its accuracy, and remit payment of maintenance fee. The list of products has space identified for making those products to be supported and those products that are to be cancelled. 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 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 burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3.6 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Respondents/Affected Entities: Persons engaged in activities related to the registration of pesticide products are identified by NAICS codes 32532 (Pesticide and other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing), 9641 (Regulation of Agricultural Marketing and Commodities), 32518 (Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing), and 32519 (Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing). Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,013. Frequency of Response: On occasion or annually, as applicable. PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 7,262 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $465,635, that includes $2,930 in Operations and Maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: This is a new ICR, so there are no changes from a previous version. However, this ICR combines two existing ICRs (OMB Control No. 2070–0167 and 2070–0100) with approved burden currently in the OMB Inventory. The burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens for the Pesticide Product Maintenance Fee ICR is the same, and there is a decrease in burden for the Pesticide Registration Fee Waivers ICR. The decrease is based on the shift in the distribution of responses to least burdensome-type, resulting in the lower total estimated burden. Dated: November 8, 2010.
