SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR

AN INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST (ICR)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a). Title of the Information Collection

Title: Standards for Pesticide Containers and Containment

EPA ICR No. 1632.04 OMB Control No. 2070-0133

1(b). Short Characterization/Abstract

This Information Collection Request covers the information collection activities 

contained in the final Pesticide Container and Containment Regulations. The final rule 

was published on August 16, 2006, with final amendments to the rule published on 

October 29, 2008. (See Attachments B and C.) The ICR for the Pesticide Container 

and Containment Regulations was approved by OMB on July 9, 2010. 

The entities affected by the container regulations are different than the entities 

affected by the containment regulations, so this ICR document provides separate 

discussions of the primary activities and the related burden estimates. Where necessary 

to distinguish the discussion of these two primary activities within each section of this 

ICR, the Agency has identified the discussion of the information collection activities 

associated with the container design and residue removal requirements with this

header: “Container,” and the information collection activities related to the containment 

structure requirements with this header: “Containment.” Where the discussion applies 

equally to both sets of activities, there is no distinction.

1(b)(i). Container. These portions of the ICR cover the information collection 

activities associated with the container design and residue removal requirements. 

Specifically, the requirement that businesses subject to the container regulations 

(pesticide registrants) and repackaging regulations (pesticide registrants and refillers

and swimming pool supply companies) maintain records of test data, cleaning 

procedures, certain data when a container is refilled and other supporting information. 

These records are subject to both call-in by EPA and on-site inspection by EPA and its 

representatives. EPA has not established a regular schedule for the collection of these 

records, and there is no reporting.

1(b)(ii). Containment. These portions of the ICR cover the information 

collection activities associated with the containment structure requirements. 

Specifically, the requirement that businesses subject to the containment structure 

regulations maintain records of the: 1) monthly inspection and maintenance of each 

containment structure and all stationary bulk containers; 2) duration over which nonstationary bulk containers holding pesticides and not protected by a secondary 

containment unit remain at the same location; and 3) construction date of the 

containment structure. The businesses subject to the containment structure regulations 

include agrichemical retailers and refilling establishments, custom blenders and 
Page 2 of 25

commercial applicators of agricultural pesticides. The records have to be maintained by 

the owners and operators of such businesses. There is no regular schedule for the 

collection of either of these records, nor does EPA anticipate a call-in of records at 

some future date. Instead, the records would be available to inspectors to ensure that 

businesses are in compliance with containment requirements. These inspections are 

generally conducted by the states, which enforce FIFRA regulations through 

cooperative agreements with EPA. 

2. Need For and Use of the Collection

2(a). Need/Authority for the Collection

The statutory authority for these collection activities are found in sections 3, 8, 19 

and 25 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 

136f, 136q and 136w. See Attachment A.

The 1988 amendments to FIFRA section 19 significantly expanded and 

strengthened EPA’s authority in the areas of pesticide storage, disposal and 

transportation and authorized the administrator, in conjunction with the registration and 

reregistration of a pesticide, to establish:

 data requirements to determine methods of safe storage and disposal of 

pesticides [FIFRA section 19(a)(1)(A)]; and 

 labeling requirements for the storage, transportation and disposal of pesticides, 

excess pesticides, rinsates, and containers [FIFRA section 19(a)(1)(B)].

Furthermore, section 19 mandates the issuance of regulations for:

 pesticide container design standards [FIFRA section 19(e)]; and

 pesticide residue removal standards and procedures [FIFRA section 19(f)].

The collection (record keeping) of information covered by this ICR is needed to 

ensure that EPA’s statutory requirement to develop regulations for pesticide container 

design and residue removal is implemented. Together with the requirements for 

containment of large pesticide tanks, the container requirements for design and residue 

removal are essential to ensure the safe use, reuse and refill of containers as required 

by FIFRA section 19.

2(a)(i). Container. The container design and residue removal regulations are 

contained in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 156 and 165. 

The container design and residue removal standards are intended to protect 

human health during container handling, refilling, storage, use, reuse, disposal and

recycling. The standards include design and construction requirements to ensure that 

containers are durable and that breakage and leakage will not occur during these 

operations. The standards adopt and refer to certain Department of Transportation 

(DOT) standards regarding container integrity and marking. There are also 
Page 3 of 25

requirements to include specific instructions on labels regarding residue removal 

procedures, and specific procedures for refilling refillable containers for sale or 

distribution. The standards are also intended to promote recycling and the use of 

refillable containers so that the number of pesticide containers in the waste stream will 

be reduced. 

2(a)(ii). Containment. The containment structure regulations are contained in 

40 CFR Part 165.

The containment standards are intended to prevent pesticide contamination of 

soil, ground water and surface water at specified sites where pesticides are stored in 

refillable bulk containers and where container refilling operations occur. There are a 

number of potential sources of pesticide spills at refilling operations and bulk pesticide 

handling facilities ranging from small leaks to container failures. In many cases, 

environmental contamination may be caused by chronic small leaks of concentrated 

pesticides from containers and appurtenances (e.g., hoses, pipes, valves, pumps) and 

from improper management of container rinsates or equipment wash water. Larger 

releases occur less frequently but can result in significant environmental contamination. 

Major spills can result from bulk container failure, operator error and vandalism. 

Facilities are required to maintain specific records so that the Agency can verify 

compliance.

2(b). Practical Utility/Users of the Data

EPA or its representative (i.e., the states) will use records that are required to be 

maintained to verify compliance with the regulations. Although records maintained 

under the regulations are subject to call-in by EPA, the Agency does not expect to 

conduct routine call-ins. Instead, the records will be reviewed during routine 

establishment inspections. These inspections are generally conducted by the states, 

which enforce FIFRA regulations through cooperative agreements with EPA. In addition, 

the requirement to keep records should foster regulatory compliance because facilities 

know they could be inspected and would need to furnish the records. Improved 

compliance with these regulations will reduce risk to human health and the environment 

by decreasing the likelihood of pesticide spills from containers and releases from 

containment structures. 

2(b)(i). Container. EPA will use the records of test data and other information 

collected or submitted under the pesticide container design and residue removal 

regulations to assess compliance with the regulations and to evaluate their 

effectiveness.

The data will be used by the Registration Division, the Antimicrobial Division, the 

Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division and the Field and External Affairs 

Division of OPP, as well as the Office of Compliance and the Office of Civil Enforcement 

in EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. The specific users within 

the divisions include chemists, economists, and product and project managers. The 

data may also be used by EPA Regions and state enforcement officials.
Page 4 of 25

2(b)(ii). Containment. Records of the inspection and maintenance of 

containment structures and stationary bulk agricultural pesticide containers will assist 

EPA, states or political subdivisions duly designated by EPA to assess the integrity of 

bulk containers and containment structures.

Records documenting the duration over which a pesticide remains in a bulk 

container not protected by secondary containment at the same location will allow EPA 

or its representatives to determine whether the bulk container has exceeded the 30-day 

residence criterion which triggers requirements for secondary containment of stationary 

bulk containers.

Records of the construction date of the secondary containment structure will 

allow EPA or its representatives to determine whether the structure must comply with 

the standards for existing structures or for new structures (according to the definitions of 

existing and new in the final rule).

3. Non Duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

3(a). Non duplication

Duplication is not an issue because these records are generally unique to the 

requirements of the federal pesticide law (FIFRA) and to specific pesticide products. 

EPA is the primary Federal agency that regulates pesticide chemicals, pesticide 

containers and disposal. To the extent that companies may already retain these 

records as part of its management practices, any potential duplication will facilitate their 

compliance with the regulation. Therefore, there is no duplication of effort.

In addition, EPA maintains files on all pesticide chemicals, as well as 

correspondence and information/data submitted. These files are referenced to 

determine whether the necessary data are already on hand, thereby eliminating 

duplicative data requests. The list of data submitters that EPA publishes enables the 

industry to act cooperatively in the development and/or use of data. Further, EPA 

allows cost-sharing agreements among manufacturers of specific pesticide chemicals in 

order to minimize the duplication of laboratory tests conducted for this program.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

In proposing to renew this ICR, EPA published a notice in the Federal Register 

on November 21, 2012 (77 FR 69822) and provided a 60-day public comment period. 

The Agency did not receive any public comment during this period.

3(c) Consultations

In addition to the public notice that EPA published in the Federal Register 

concerning the renewal of this ICR, the Agency consulted with stakeholders who 

actively interact with the Agency through the use of this collection instrument. EPA staff 

contacted three relevant stakeholders and received three responses. EPA asked for 

their assessment of the regulatory burden and costs estimates expressed by the 
Page 5 of 25

Agency in this ICR, the clarity of instruction for respondents, the method of frequency of 

collection, etc. The responses essentially agreed with the burden estimates, stated that 

the instructions are clear, and had no suggestion for changing the collection 

methodology of frequency. The full consultation responses from the three entities and 

the questions asked are in attachment H.

 3(d). Effects of Less Frequent Collection

Not applicable. There is no collection activity. Records are generated when 

certain activities take place, such as repackaging pesticide into refillable container or 

inspecting a containment structure, and, if necessary, information will be collected 

periodically without a set schedule for compliance assurance. 

3(e). General Guidelines

The only guideline established under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

may be exceeded in this collection is the time period for retaining records. The PRA 

guidelines specify that an agency must provide justification when requiring data other 

than health, medical or tax records be retained for more than three years. This is 

discussed separately for container and containment below.

In addition, OMB’s regulations require agencies to provide a statement indicating 

whether the collection of information involves the use of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 

technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses, and an explanation of 

the decision (5 CFR 1320.5(a)(iii)(E)). EPA is leaving the selection of an information 

storage method for the records to the regulated community. The records must be made 

available on request by EPA or its representatives, and may be stored by means of 

automated, electronic, mechanical or other forms of information technology.

3(e)(i). Container. The following time periods for retaining records under the 

container design and residue removal regulations exceed the three year only guideline 

for record retention established under the PRA:

1) for nonrefillable containers, the registrant must maintain the required records 

for as long as the nonrefillable container is used with the pesticide product and 

for three years thereafter;

2) for refillable containers, each registrant who distributes or sells a pesticide 

product to a refiller for repackaging into refillable containers and each registrant 

who distributes or sells a pesticide product in refillable containers must maintain 

the required records for the current operating year and for three years thereafter;

3) for refillable containers, each refiller must maintain the required informational 

records for the current operating year and for three years thereafter. Information 

about actual repackaging must be recorded and kept for three years. 

EPA is requiring that the information described above be retained by registrants 
Page 6 of 25

or refillers for more than three years so that risks presented by pesticide containers can 

be thoroughly evaluated. Most container designs and many refillable containers are in 

use for more than three years. Further, even when a design is discontinued, containers 

of that design type may remain on the market for a number of years. Therefore, if EPA 

is to be able to thoroughly evaluate risks presented by pesticide containers it requires 

access to information on these containers designs and containers for as long as they 

remain in commerce.

3(e)(ii). Containment. The only guideline established under the PRA that is 

exceeded is the time period for retaining records relating to the construction date of the 

secondary containment structure. The regulations require that records documenting the 

construction date of the containment structure be retained as long as the containment 

structure is in use, and for three years thereafter. EPA requires retention of records 

documenting the age of the containment facility because the standards for structures 

built before promulgation of the containment rule differ slightly from the standards for 

structures built after promulgation of the rule. The two sets of standards apply to 

“existing” and “new” containment structures, terms which are defined in the rule. EPA is 

requiring that the records be retained for a period in excess of that proposed by PRA 

guidelines because containment structures are typically in use for much longer than 

three years.

3(f). Confidentiality

In some cases the nonrefillable container records may contain confidential 

business information (CBI) as defined in FIFRA, but the other records do not contain 

CBI. IF registrants submit CBI, such information is protected from disclosure under 

FIFRA Section 10. CBI data submitted to the EPA is handled strictly in accordance with 

the provisions of the FIFRA Confidential Business Information Security Manual.

Since EPA does not anticipate a collection or call-in of the retained records 

covered by this ICR, the information in those records would not leave the possession of 

the affected businesses. 

3(g). Sensitive Questions

Not applicable. No information of a sensitive or private nature is requested in this 

information collection activity.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a). Respondents/NAICS Codes

4(a)(i). Container. The regulated community affected by the container design 

and residue removal regulations includes businesses that formulate pesticide products 

or repackage pesticide products into refillable pesticide containers. The affected 

businesses are pesticide registrants, classified as North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) code 325320 - Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical 

Manufacturing, NAICS code 422910 - Farm Supplies Wholesalers, and Swimming Pool 

Applicators, classified under 3 different NAICS codes shown in the table below.

4(a)(ii). Containment. The regulated community affected by the containment 

regulations includes facilities that utilize one or more stationary bulk agricultural 

pesticide containers, mobile bulk agricultural pesticide containers that remain in one 

location for at least 30 consecutive days, and containment pads for agrichemical 

pesticide dispensing areas. The majority of such facilities are classified in the farm 

supplies industry under one NAICS code, 422910 - Farm Supplies Wholesalers. NAICS 

422910 includes both farm supply dealers and fertilizer dealers, (frequently referred to 

as agrichemical facilities or businesses), as well as other establishments engaged in the 

distribution of animal feeds, fertilizers, agricultural chemicals, pesticides, seeds and 

other farm supplies, except grains. Agricultural (aerial and ground) commercial 

applicators are also affected by the rule. Most of these industries are classified under 

NAICS 115112 - Soil Preparation, Planting and Cultivating. A number of agricultural 

services such as cultivation, pollination, detasseling of corn, hoeing, and pruning are 

included under this NAICS code.

4(b). Information Requested

4(b)(i). Data Items, Including Record Keeping Requirements
Page 8 of 25

4(b)(i)(1). Container. In order to comply with the container design and residue 

removal requirements, respondents must undertake a number of recordkeeping 

activities (see tables below) for as long as the product is used and for three years after 

that. There are no reporting requirements for these regulations. However, the required 

records must be furnished and made available for inspection and copying upon request 

of EPA or its designee. In addition, registrants must inform EPA by notification of the 

label changes made to comply with the requirements of §156.

Recordkeeping Requirements for Nonrefillable and Refillable Containers

Recordkeeping

Nonrefillable 

Containers

For as long as a nonrefillable container is used for the product and for 3 years 

thereafter: 

 The name and EPA registration number of the product.

 A description of the container(s) used to distribute or sell the product.

 Documentation of compliance with the closure requirement, if applicable.

 Documentation of compliance with the dispensing requirement, if applicable.

 Documentation of compliance with the residue removal requirement, if 

applicable.

Repackaging (a) These “informational” records must be kept for the current operating year and for 

three years after that (see the table below which identifies which businesses 

(registrants and/or refillers)) must comply:

 The written contract between the pesticide product’s registrant and the refiller for 

the pesticide product.

 The written refilling residue removal procedure for the pesticide product.

 The written description of acceptable containers for the pesticide product.

(b) Each time a refiller repackages pesticide product into a refillable container for 

distribution or sale, the following records must be generated and maintained for at 

least three years after the date of repackaging:

 The EPA registration number of the pesticide product distributed or sold in the 

refillable container.

 The date of the repackaging.

 The serial number or other identifying code of the refillable container.

As shown in the following table, antimicrobial products used in swimming pools and 

closely-related sites do not have to comply with these section (b) repackaging 

requirements.

5. The Information Collected - Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and

 Information Management

5(a) EPA Activities – Containers.

EPA does not anticipate collecting or calling-in the records retained to comply 

with the container regulations. The data maintained by registrants, refillers and 

swimming pool applicators will be available for review by EPA or its designee to ensure 

compliance with the regulations and in the event that a problem arises with a particular 

type of container. However, EPA anticipates that there may be waiver requests from 

some or all of the container design and residue removal requirements. 

Agency Activity Description

1. Receive Waiver 

Requests and Inquiries

There are approximately 15,000 pesticide products registered by EPA, 

and waiver requests may be submitted for some products. 

Submissions will have to be screened for confidentiality and protected 

accordingly. 
Page 13 of 25

2. Plan activities FEAD will coordinate with the 3 divisions who make registration 

decisions: RD, AD and BPPD to respond to waiver requests. Records 

of waivers will be maintained as usual by the registering divisions, and 

possibly in an additional database unique to container issues.

3. Record information EPA will use existing databases to store and track incoming 

information. 

4. Complete paperwork FEAD and registering divisions will coordinate to prepare responses to 

waiver requests stating approval/disapproval with comments.

5. Monitor DOT regulatory 

actions and publish FRNs 

The FEAD disposal team will have to monitor FR Notices issued by 

DOT to determine if the DOT regulations referred to in the container 

rule have been changed, and if so, must publish an EPA FR notice 

informing the regulated community of any changes.

6. Store/maintain data Store, file, and maintain copies of waiver requests and responses/ 

authorizations. 

5(b). Collection Methodology and Management

EPA expects to receive and review waiver requests for new products as they are 

submitted. The correspondence may be submitted in printed or electronic format, 

including e-mail, according to the respondent’s preference. As itemized in 5(a), EPA 

will receive and manage these waiver requests in accordance with its existing and 

standard procedures for the receipt and management of information submitted to it 

under the pesticide laws. 

5(c). Small Entity Flexibility

Small entities are generally subject to the same requirements as large entities. 

The information to be recorded is straightforward and can be maintained by facilities in 

the manner they see fit, as long as the records are available for review during routine 

establishment inspections by the states. The notifications and waiver requests involve 

the use of existing forms and processes, which reflect the consideration of small entity 

flexibility in their establishment. No new forms are being established for these 

regulations. 

5(d). Collection Schedule

Not applicable. The activity is conducted only as needed by state inspections, or 

upon the determination of the respondent. There is no set schedule for the collection of 

this information.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection – Container Design and 

 Residue Removal Regulations

6(a). Estimating Regulated Community Burden and Costs

The respondent burden reflected in this ICR is based on the two Economic 

Analyses (EAs) that were prepared for the final regulations. See Attachments E and F.

For ease in presentation, the burden and costs for the container design and residue 

removal requirements are discussed separately from those related to the containment 
Page 14 of 25

requirements. After discussing the burden and costs separately, the burden and cost 

estimates are totaled in section 6(c) of this ICR. 

The burden on the regulated community considered in this analysis is the 

administrative burden associated with the time spent to record and maintain the 

necessary records. There is no requirement to submit the records to the Agency. The 

burden also includes a review of the applicable requirements and a determination of 

how the regulations affect the respondent, which were expected to occur in the first year 

of compliance with the regulations, but that may occur when new pesticides are 

registered and as a periodic review of compliance.

6(a)(i). Container. The ICR estimates all recordkeeping and reporting burden 

and costs associated with the regulations. A separate analysis is provided below for 

each of the three regulated industries for the pesticide container regulations. 

The labor rates used in the analysis were developed for the EA and include both 

fringe benefits and overhead. Based on the information in the EA, this ICR will use 

wage rates for an administrative labor category and a professional labor category. The 

current wage rates are $36.79 for the administrative labor category and $124.10 for 

professional (technical) labor.

6(a)(i)(1). Container Requirements - Pesticide Registrants. There are three

separate sets of paperwork burden activities for pesticide registrants. Tables 6.1, 6.2, 

and 6.3 describe the estimated burden and costs associated with these activities. 

For nonrefillable containers, the burden is associated with creating records 

documenting that new formulations and containers meet the requirements and 

submitting waiver requests. As with any change in labeling or registration requirements, 

a certain number of waiver requests is to be expected, and processing waivers is an 

ongoing activity. The Agency estimates that if a registrant wishes to submit an 

application for a waiver from some of the requirements of the rule, professional labor will 

be used. The burden for the application of a waiver is estimated to be the same in each 

year, which is likely an overestimate. It is estimated that one percent of pesticide 

registrants may apply for a waiver. To simplify the analysis, the burden and costs 

estimated for the application of a waiver are applied to the nonrefillable container 

burden and cost estimates (registrants can apply for a waiver for a subset of both 

nonrefillable and refillable requirements). 

It is estimated that each respondent will spend three hours on the paperwork 

activities associated with new formulations and new nonrefillable containers (Table 

6.1).1 At a cost of $36.79 per hour for the administrative labor, the cost, per respondent, 

is estimated to be $110. In addition, it is estimated that 1% of the respondents will 

spend an additional four hours preparing and processing waivers. At costs of $124.10 

per hour for the professional labor associated with this activity, the cost per respondent 

is estimated to be $496.

The amount of time estimated for these activities depends on the size of the facility. For this analysis, since there 

are relatively more small pesticide registrants and agricultural pesticide refillers potentially impacted by the 

regulations than large registrant and agricultural pesticide refillers, estimates of burden are based on small facilities -

The total annual paperwork burden across all respondents, assuming that 1,8042

registrants will be affected by the requirement, is 5,484 hours (Table 6.1), with a total 

annual cost estimated to be $208,063.

ANNUAL BURDEN: 

(3 hours per registrant X 1,804 registrants) + (4 hours per registrant X (1,804 

registrants X 1% of registrants)) = 5,412 hours + 72 hours = 5,484 hours per year

ANNUAL COST:

(3 hours per registrant X $36.79/hour X 1,804 registrants) + (4 hours per registrant X 

$124.10/hour X (1,804 registrant X 1% of registrants)) = $199,108 + $8,955 = $208,063

For the paperwork burden activities associated with registrants distributing 

pesticide to refillers for repackaging into refillable containers, it is estimated that 2 hours 

will be spent per registrant respondent (Table 6.2). These burden estimates include 

both the activities associated with refillable containers and for registrants distributing 

pesticides to refillers for repackaging. At a cost of $36.79 per hour for the administrative 

labor, the estimated cost now that the contracts are in place, assuming two hours of 

time spent on information collection, per respondent, is estimated to be $74. The total 

annual paperwork burden across all respondents, assuming that 1,804 registrants will 

be affected by the requirement, is 3,608 hours (Table 6.2).

directly into refillable containers (Table 6.3). The total annual paperwork burden across 

all respondents, assuming that 1,804 registrants will be affected by the requirement, is

Page 17 of 25

The estimated annual burden per pesticide registrant respondent associated with 

nonrefillable pesticide container record keeping activities is 7 hours per year (See Table 

6.1). The estimated annual burden per registrant associated with distributing pesticides 

to refillers for repackaging and distributing pesticide directly in refillable containers is 2 

hours per year and 7.5 per year (Tables 6.2 and 6.3), respectively. Based on an 

estimated 1,804 pesticide registrants affected by the requirement per year, the total 

annual burden is estimated to be 22,622 hours per year. (See Tables 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3)

TOTAL ANNUAL BURDEN:

5,484 + 3,608 + 13,530 = 22,622 hours per year

The estimated annual cost per pesticide registrant respondent associated with 

nonrefillable pesticide containers record keeping activities is $522 per year. The 

estimated annual cost per registrant associated with refillable containers and 

repackaging is $70 and $35, respectively. Based on an estimated 1,804 pesticide 

registrants affected by the requirement per year, the total annual cost is estimated to be

$838,570. (See Tables 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3)

TOTAL ANNUAL COSTS:

$208,063 + $132,738 + $497,769= $838,570

6(a)(i)(2). Container Requirements - Agricultural Pesticide Refillers. The 

paperwork burden activities that affect agricultural pesticide refillers are associated with 

the repackaging of agricultural pesticides directly into refillable containers. It is 

estimated that seven and one-half hours will be spent per year for the paperwork 

activities associated with repackaging agricultural pesticides directly into refillable 

containers (Table 6.4).

16,795 agricultural pesticide refillers affected by the requirements per year, the total 

annual burden is estimated to be 125,963 hours per year. The estimated annual cost 

per agricultural pesticide refiller associated with record keeping is $276. Assuming 

16,795 agricultural pesticide refillers and a labor cost of $36.79, the estimated total 

annual cost is $4,634,160 per year (See Table 6.4).

6(a)(i)(3). Container Requirements - Swimming Pool Supply Companies. 

The paperwork activities that affect swimming pool supply companies are associated 

with repackaging antimicrobial pesticides into refillable containers. It is estimated that 

seven and one half hours will be spent per year for the paperwork activities associated 

with refillable containers (Table 6.5).

Total Burden 7.5 7.5 276

Based on an estimated 322 swimming pool supply companies affected by the 

requirements per year, the total annual burden is estimated to be 2,415 hours per year. 

At a cost of $36.79 per hour for the administrative labor, the estimated cost per 

respondent is $276 per year. (Table 6.5) Assuming 322 swimming pool supply 

companies, the estimated total annual cost per year is $88,848.

ANNUAL BURDEN: 

7.5 hours per company x 322 companies = 2,415 hours per year

6(a)(ii). Containment. 

An administrative labor category was assigned with an average rate of $36.79

per hour to inspect containment structures and to maintain records of inspection and 

maintenance. The main on-going activities include inspecting facilities monthly and 

recording the required information, which is estimated to take an average of 15 minutes 

per month, or three hours a year. The activity associated with storing and maintaining 

this information and the records of the age of the containment structure and any large 

mobile containers (if applicable) is estimated to take an average of five minutes per 

month, or one hour per year, for a total burden of 4 hours per year (see Table. 6.7).

At a cost of $36.79 per hour for administrative labor, the estimated cost per year 

for four hours of time spent on the information collection, per respondent, is $147. The 

total annual paperwork burden across all respondents, assuming that 4,6654facilities 

will be affected by the requirement, is 18,660 hours per year. Based on an estimated 

4,665 facilities affected by the requirement per year, the total annual cost is estimated to 

be $686,501 per year.

ANNUAL BURDEN: 

4 hours per facility x 4,665 facilities = 18,660 hours per year

These figures represent the total industry burden and cost for the paperwork 

activities under the containment structures regulations.

6(b). Estimating EPA Burden and Cost

EPA does not anticipate collecting or calling-in the records retained to comply 

with the container regulations. The data maintained by registrants, refillers and 

swimming pool applicators will be available for review by EPA or its designee to ensure 

compliance with the regulations and in the event that a problem arises with a particular 

type of container. However, EPA anticipates that, as with most registration 

requirements and label amendments, there may be waiver requests from some of the 

container requirements. There are no regular burden impacts to EPA in the 

containment regulations. Agency labor rates are based on Office of Personnel 

Management salary tables for federal employees and include benefits and overhead 

costs, as well as locality pay for the Washington, DC-Baltimore area. For management, 

the wage rate is $120.32 per hour; for technical workers, the wage rate is $77.85; for 

clerical workers, the wage rate is $44.05. Estimates for the Agency's burden and costs

are provided below.

Page 21 of 25

summarized as follows:

 Estimated total number of potential respondents: 23,586. This includes 1,804 

registrants + 16,795 agricultural pesticide refillers + 322 swimming pool supply 

companies + 4,665 facilities requiring pesticide containment structures.

 Frequency of response: On occasion. There is no regular reporting involved. This

ICR only involves recordkeeping requirements.

 Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.

 Estimated total respondent annual burden hours: 169,660 hours (151,000 for the 

container regulations and + 18,660 for the containment regulations).

 Estimated total respondent annual costs: $ 6,248,079. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $5,561,578 for container regulations and an estimated cost of 

$686,501 for containment regulations for maintenance and operational costs.

6(d). Reasons for Change in Burden for this ICR

The changes to the overall estimated burden for this ICR were based on three 

revisions.

First, the estimated annual burden on pesticide registrants to comply with the 

nonrefillable container regulations decreased. During implementation of the container 

regulations over the past three years, EPA received very few waiver requests from 

registrants. Therefore, the estimated rate of registrants that request waivers decreased 

from 5% in the previous ICR to the observance rate of 1% of registrants in this ICR.

Second, the estimated average annual burden per respondent for pesticide 

registrants who repackage into refillable containers increased to more accurately reflect 

the registrant repackaging activities, which are very similar to the repackaging activities 

conducted by refillers and swimming pool supply companies. The description of 

activities for registrants that repackage was changed to be consistent with the activities 

in the following two sections. (See Section 4(b)(ii)(4)-(6).) The average annual burden 

per registrant respondent that repackages directly into refillable containers was 
Page 22 of 25

increased from 1 hour to 7.5 hours per respondent to be the same as the average 

burden per refiller or swimming pool supply company (Table 6.3).

Third, the estimated annual burden for entities that are subject to the 

containment requirements decreased because the containment activities identified in 

the previous ICR included some activities that were completed by the compliance date 

of August 16, 2009. Therefore the table describing the activities (Section 4(b)(iii)) and 

the estimated average annual burden (Table 6.7) were adjusted to include only the ongoing annual information collection activities required by the containment regulations.

As a result of these three changes, the overall industry burden estimate 

decreased 4,890.5 hours, from 174,550.5 hours to 169,660 hours.

There were a number of other changes to this supporting statement to improve 

its accuracy, delete superfluous details relating to earlier versions for the ICR, and 

reflect the on-going paperwork burden now that the container and containment 

regulations are full in effect (after the last compliance date of August 16, 2011). The 

changes include:

 Deleting information that explained the differences between the previous ICR and 

the versions prior to that;

 Deleting text, tables and wording that is no longer necessary because it referred 

to activities that were conducted during the first three years, such as adjusting 

the containment activities as described above; removing references to any “Year 

1” activities now that the ICR only covers on-going annual activities; deleting 

discussions of the label changes by notification, which were completed by the 

compliance date of August 16, 2011; and deleting the short section on State 

Agency Cost and Burden (section 6(b)because the burden to states occurred 

before 2009.

 Revising Table 6.1 and the discussion before it to clarify that some of the 

estimated burden applies to all registrants (three hours) and the rest of the 

estimated burden applies only to 1% of the registrants. This clarification reduces 

the average burden per registrant respondent from 16.5 hours to 12.5 hours, 

which is reflected in the burden statement in the following section. 

 Revising specific phrases throughout to fix editorial mistakes or to improve the 

clarity or accuracy of the statement. 

6(e). Burden Statement for this ICR

The total estimated annual respondent paperwork burden to comply with the 

information collection activity is 169,660 hours. The respondent burden includes 

151,000 hours associated with the container design and residue removal regulations 

and 18,660 hours associated with the containment structure regulations. The 

respondent burden hours for the container regulations represents an estimated per 

respondent burden of 12.5 hours per Pesticide Registrant, 7.5 hours per Agricultural 

Refiller and 7.5 hours per Swimming Pool Supplier. The respondent burden hours for 

containment regulations represents an estimated burden of 4 hours per respondent. 

As defined by the PRA and 5 CFR 1320.3(b), “burden” means the total time, 
Page 23 of 25

effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 

disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and 

systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing 

and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 

train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations codified in Chapter 40 of 

the CFR, after appearing in the preamble of the final rule, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. For this ICR activity, 

in addition to displaying the applicable OMB control number in the final rule, the Agency 

has amended the table in 40 CFR §9.1 to list the OMB control number assigned to this 

ICR activity.
