Title: Experimental Use Permits 

(EUPs) for Pesticides. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0276.14, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0040. 

ICR Status: The current OMB 

approval for this ICR is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2010. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. This ICR 

renews an ongoing information 

collection activity. 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 for EPA’s 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Final Rule and in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9 or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Abstract: The Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

requires that before a pesticide product 

may be distributed or sold in the U.S., 

it must be registered by EPA. Section 5 

of FIFRA authorizes EPA to issue 

experimental use permits (EUPs) which 

allow 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. In 

general, EUP’s are issued either for a 

pesticide not registered with the Agency 

or for a registered pesticide for a use not 

registered with the Agency. The EUP 

application must be submitted in order 

to obtain a permit. This information 

collection provides the EPA with the 

data necessary to determine whether to 

issue an EUP under section 5 of FIFRA. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average between 32.8 hours 

for chemical pesticides and 147 hours 

for plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs) 

per response. Burden is defined in 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). The following is a 

summary of the burden and cost 

information for this ICR: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Pesticide Registrants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

21. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

10.3. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,907. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$114,566. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 1150 hours from the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory. This increase is an 

adjustment in the burden estimates 

resulting from consultations with EUP 

program participants, and an estimated 

number of EUP applications that are for 

PIPs compared to chemical pesticides.

Title: Pesticide Registration Fees 

Program. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2330.01, 

OMB Control No. 2070–new. 

ICR Status: This is a new ICR that 

combines two currently approved ICRs. 

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 for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, 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 in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: This ICR covers the 

paperwork burden hours and costs 

associated with the information 

collection activities under the pesticide 

registration fee programs. 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 (FIFRA 

Section 33). This ICR specifically covers 

the activities related to both the 

collection of the pesticide registration 

fees and the submission and processing 

requests for the fees to be waived. 

PRIA authorizes EPA to process 

requests for waivers of registration 

application fees. The ICR covers the 

collection activities associated with 

requesting a fee waiver and involves 

requesters submitting a waiver request, 

information to demonstrate eligibility 

for the waiver, and certification of 

eligibility. Waivers are available for 

small businesses, for minor uses, and for 

actions solely associated with the InterRegional Project Number 4 (IR–4). State 

and Federal agencies are exempt from 

the payment of fees. 

FIFRA requires EPA to collect annual 

pesticide product registration 

maintenance fees from pesticides 

registrants. Respondents complete and 

submit EPA Form 8570–30 indicating 

the respondent’s liability for the 

registration maintenance fee. Annually 

the Agency provides registrants with a 

list of their products currently registered 

with the Agency. Registrants are 

provided the opportunity to review the 

list, determine its accuracy, and remit 

payment of maintenance fee. The list of 

products has space identified for 

making those products to be supported 

and those products that are to be 

cancelled. The registrants are also 

instructed to identify any products on 

the list which they believe to be 

transferred to another company, and to 

add to the list any products which the 

company believes to be registered that 

are not the Agency-provided list. The 

failure to pay the required fee for a 

product will result in cancellation of 

that product’s registration. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 3.6 

hours per response. Burden is defined 

in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Persons engaged in activities related to 

the registration of pesticide products are 

identified by NAICS codes 32532 

(Pesticide and other Agricultural 

Chemical Manufacturing), 9641 

(Regulation of Agricultural Marketing 

and Commodities), 32518 (Other Basic 

Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing), and 

32519 (Other Basic Organic Chemical 

Manufacturing). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,013. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

or annually, as applicable. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

7,262 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$465,635, that includes $2,930 in 

Operations and Maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: This is a 

new ICR, so there are no changes from 

a previous version. However, this ICR 

combines two existing ICRs (OMB 

Control No. 2070–0167 and 2070–0100) 

with approved burden currently in the 

OMB Inventory. The burden currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved ICR Burdens for the Pesticide 

Product Maintenance Fee ICR is the 

same, and there is a decrease in burden 

for the Pesticide Registration Fee 

Waivers ICR. The decrease is based on 

the shift in the distribution of responses 

to least burdensome-type, resulting in 

the lower total estimated burden.
