standards to protect human health and
the environment. EPA grants a
‘‘registration’’ or license that permits a
pesticide’s distribution, sale, and use
only after the company meets the
scientific and regulatory requirements.
In evaluating a pesticide registration
application, EPA assesses a wide variety
of potential human health and
environmental effects associated with
the use of the product. Applicants, or
potential registrants, must generate or
provide the scientific data necessary to
address concerns pertaining to the
identity, composition, potential adverse
effects, and environmental fate of each
pesticide. The data allow EPA to
evaluate whether a pesticide has the
potential to cause harmful effects on
certain non-target organisms and
endangered species that include:
Humans; wildlife; plants; and surface
water or ground water.
Through a rigorous scientific and
public process, EPA specifies the kinds
of data and information necessary to
make regulatory judgments about the
risks and benefits of pesticide products
under FIFRA sections 3, 4 and 5, as well
as the data and information needed to
determine the safety of pesticide
chemical residues under FFDCA section
408. The regulations in 40 CFR part 158
describe the minimum data and
information EPA typically requires to
support an application for pesticide
registration or amendment; support the
reregistration of a pesticide product;
support the maintenance of a pesticide
registration by means of the data call-in
process; or establish or maintain a
tolerance or exemption from the
requirements of a tolerance for a
pesticide chemical residue. As
described in 40 CFR 158.30, however,
FIFRA provides EPA with flexibility to
require, or not require, data and
information for the purposes of making
regulatory judgments for individual
pesticide products, thereby allowing for
the data required to be modified on an
individual basis to fully characterize the
use and properties, characteristics, or
effects of specific pesticide products
under review. The Agency encourages
each applicant to consult with EPA to
discuss the data requirements prior to
and during the registration process. In
addition, the Agency cautions
applicants that the data routinely
required by the regulations may not be
sufficient to permit EPA to evaluate the
potential of the product to cause
unreasonable adverse effects on man or
the environment. EPA may, therefore,
require the submission of additional
data or information beyond that
specified in the regulations if such data

or information are needed to evaluate a
pesticide product as required by FIFRA
and FFDCA.
EPA uses the DCIs issued to acquire
the data that has been deemed necessary
for the Agency’s statutorily mandated
review of a pesticide’s registration,
which require it to assess whether the
continued registration of an existing
pesticide causes an unreasonable
adverse effect on human health or the
environment and whether the Agency
will pursue regulatory measures.
Respondents/affected entities:
Pesticide registrants—North American
Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) code 325320 (Pesticide and
Other Agricultural Chemical
Manufacturing).
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory under FIFRA section
3(c)(2)(B).
Estimated number of respondents:
122 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 615,447
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $43,792,523 (per
year). There are no capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs
associated with this collection.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 353,146 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the last ICR
approved by OMB. The burden increase
is a cumulative result of the program
implementing new methodologies to
calculate respondent burden, the
inclusion of a new information
collection group—consortium
participants—to more accurately reflect
the respondent burden, renaming and
recalculating an existing information
collection group from Enforcement and
Unanticipated Incident activities to
Maintenance DCIs, and the acceleration
of the Registration Review Program. All
of these activities have contributed to
the significant increase in number of
DCIs to be issued (221 versus 45)
annually.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
