ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on August 31, 2018. Under OMB regulations, an agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 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 for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: The information collection covered by this ICR provides EPA with the data necessary to determine whether to issue an EUP under section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA requires that before a pesticide product may be distributed or sold in the U.S., it must be registered by EPA. However, FIFRA section 5 authorizes EPA to issue an EUP to allow pesticide companies to temporarily ship pesticide products for experimental use for the purpose of gathering data necessary to support the application for registration of a pesticide product. The EUP application must be submitted in order to obtain a permit. Form Numbers: EPA Form 8570–17: Application for an Experimental Use Permit to Ship and Use a Pesticide for Experimental Purposes Only.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 31 (total). Frequency of Response: On occasion. Total Estimated Burden: 567 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total Estimated Cost: $37,497 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 11 hours in the total annual estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA’s adjustment based on a slight increase in EUP submissions by program participants. This change is an adjustment. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Collection Strategies Division.
