Abstract: This ICR covers the paperwork burden hours and costs associated with the information collection activities under the pesticide registration fee programs implemented through the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 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 registration service fee system for applications for specific pesticide registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance actions (Section 33). This ICR specifically covers the activities related to the collection of the annual registration maintenance fees, the registration service fees and the burden associated with the submission of requests for fees to be waived. Form Numbers: 8570–30.

Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 229 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This modest addition is associated with an increase in respondents for pesticide registration maintenance fees (from 1,471 to 1,523) and in refinements of the burden calculations. The total estimated annual respondent burden for service fee waivers has not changed. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

service fee system for applications for specific pesticide 
registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance actions 
(Section 33). This ICR specifically covers the activities related to 
the collection of the annual registration maintenance fees, the 
registration service fees and the burden associated with the submission 
of requests for fees to be waived.
    Form Numbers: 8570-30.

annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 229 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This modest addition is associated with an increase in 
respondents for pesticide registration maintenance fees (from 1,471 to 
1,523) and in refinements of the burden calculations. The total 
estimated annual respondent burden for service fee waivers has not 
changed.
