Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 54688 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 7, 2022 / Notices This information collection is mandatory under 40 CFR part 169. It is used by the Agency to determine compliance with FIFRA. The information is used by EPA Regional pesticide enforcement and compliance staffs, the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), and the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) within the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and other Federal agencies, States under Cooperative Enforcement Agreements, and the public. 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. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Producers of pesticides and pesticide devices for sale or distribution in or exported to the United States. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 169). Estimated number of respondents: 19,027 (total). Frequency of response: Annual. Total estimated burden: 15,078 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $372,721 (per year). There are no annualized capital or O&M costs associated with this ICR since all equipment associated with this ICR is present as part of ordinary business practices. Changes in estimates: There is a decrease of 42,054 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease of 42,054 hours is a result of our reassessment of the assumptions used to estimate the burden of this ICR. Adjustments resulted from corrections of clerical or computational errors in the previous ICR renewal supporting statement. Further adjustments to the burden estimates resulted from (1) adjustments in the salary computation for industry to reflect current wage scales, (2) adjustments for inflation, and (3) adjustment to the number of respondents.
