Abstract: This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with voluntary participation in EPA’s Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP). The program uses the information collected to establish partner membership, develop stewardship strategies, measure progress towards stewardship goals, and award incentives. PESP is an EPA partnership program that encourages the use of the integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to reduce pests and pesticide risks. IPM is an approach that involves making the best choices from among a series of pest management practices that are both economical and PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 pose the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. PESP members include pesticide enduser and organizations which focus on training, educating, and/or influencing pesticide users. To become a PESP member, an organization submits an application and a five-year strategy outlining how environmental and human health risk reduction goals will be achieved through IPM implementation and/or education. The program encourages PESP members to track progress towards IPM goals such as: reductions in unnecessary use of pesticides, cost reductions, and knowledge shared about IPM methodologies. Entities participating in PESP also benefit from technical assistance, and through incentives for achievements at different levels. Form Numbers: 9600–01, 9600–02, and 9600–03. Respondents/affected entities: Pesticide user companies and organizations, or entities that practice IPM or promote the use of IPM through education and training. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary (5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)). Estimated number of respondents: 461 (total). Frequency of response: Annual and on occasion. Total estimated burden: 51,562 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $3,605,562 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a correction of the number of potential respondents from 419 to 461. There is an increase of 3,897 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA’s updating of burden estimates for this collection based on historical information on the number of PESP members. Based on revised estimates, the number of IPM Promoters has decreased, while the number of IPM users has increased, and the number of National IPM users has decreased since the last ICR renewal. Although the estimated burden per response has not changed for any category, the shift in E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM 25OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 203 / Monday, October 25, 2021 / Notices membership types has resulted in a net increase in the overall burden.
