Pesticides; Draft Guidance for 

Pesticide Registrants on the 

Determination of Minor Use 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Agency is announcing 

the availability of and seeking public 

comment on a draft Pesticide 

Registration Notice (PR Notice) entitled 

‘‘Determination of Minor Use under 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), section 2(ll).’’ 

PR Notices are issued by the Office of 

Pesticide Programs (OPP) to inform 

pesticide registrants and other 

interested persons about important 

policies, procedures, and registration 

related decisions, and serve to provide 

guidance to pesticide registrants and 

OPP personnel. This draft PR Notice 

would update section 5 of PR Notice 

97–2 and provide guidance to the 

registrant as to how the EPA determines 

a ‘‘minor use.’’ EPA seeks to identify 

and encourage the registration of 

pesticides for minor uses to protect 

communities from harmful pests. This 

draft PR Notice revises the method used 

by EPA for evaluating ‘‘sufficient 

economic incentive’’ under FIFRA. The 

draft PR Notice explains how qualitative 

information may be used to inform the 

quantitative analysis, interpret the 

results, and clarifies that the most recent 

United States Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) Census of Agriculture is the 

appropriate source for data on acreage 

in the United States to establish a minor 

use under the acreage definition in 

FIFRA 2(ll)(1). 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 15, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are responsible for the 

initial or continuing registration of 

pesticides. Entities that register 

pesticides with EPA’s Office of Pesticide 

Programs typically fall under the North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) Code 325300— 

Pesticide, Fertilizer, and Other 

Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing. 

This action may also be of interest to 

persons using pesticides on sites that 

may be considered ‘‘minor’’ including 

persons engaged in crop and livestock 

production, and persons engaged in pest 

control in residential, commercial, and 

municipal areas including control of 

public health pests, and to the public in 

general. Since many entities may be 

interested, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

C. How can I get copies of this 

document and other related 

information? 

A copy of the draft PR Notice is 

available in the docket under docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– 

OPP–2015–0814. 

II. What guidance does this PR notice 

provide? 

FIFRA defines a minor use of a 

pesticide as either (1) a use on a crop 

grown on 300,000 acres or less in the 

United States or (2) a use that lacks 

sufficient economic incentive to seek or 

maintain a registration but has private 

or social value. This draft PR Notice 

provides guidance to the registrant 

concerning the method used to 

determine if a use site is a ‘‘minor use’’ 

as defined by FIFRA 2(ll). In particular, 

the draft PR Notice describes the 

method for determining if the use ‘‘does 

not provide sufficient economic 

incentive.’’ To date, EPA’s 

interpretation of economic minor use in 

section 2(ll)(2) has been shaped by 

guidance provided in PR Notice 97–2. 

However, the approach outlined in PR 

Notice 97–2 ignores critical factors that 

influence the incentives for registration. 

This draft PR Notice describes the 

revised approach to evaluate ‘‘sufficient 

economic incentive’’ which addresses 

these factors. It explicitly considers (1) 

the difference in time between incurring 

costs of generating data for registration 

and obtaining revenue from product 

sales, (2) the multiple years over which 

revenue is generated, and (3) the costs 

of producing and distributing the 

product. The draft PR Notice provides 

suggestions about the data that can be 

used to conduct the analysis. Finally, 

the draft PR Notice explains how 

qualitative information may be used to 

inform the quantitative analysis and 

interpret the results. It also clarifies that 

the most recent USDA Census of 

Agriculture is the appropriate source for 

data on acreage in the United States to 

establish a minor use under the acreage 

definition in FIFRA section 2(ll)(1). 

Registrants will typically seek to 

demonstrate a site is a minor use in the 

context of requesting an extension of the

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 14, 2016 / Notices 38705 

exclusive use period for data submitted 

in support of a registration under FIFRA 

section 3(c)(1)(F)(ii) or a new exclusive 

use period for data submitted to support 

a registration under FIFRA section 

3(c)(1)(F)(vi). These clauses are 

intended to provide incentives to 

registrants to obtain registrations for 

uses that might otherwise go unfulfilled 

because they offer low returns because 

of low demand. 

The information collection activities 

associated with the activities described 

in this PR Notice are already approved 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq. The corresponding Information 

Collection Request (ICR) document for 

the Application for New and Amended 

Pesticide Registration has been assigned 

EPA ICR number 0277.16 and is 

approved OMB control number 2070– 

0060. 

III. Do PR Notices contain binding 

requirements? 

The PR Notice about the 

determination of a minor use is 

intended to provide guidance to EPA 

personnel and decision-makers and to 

pesticide registrants. While the 

requirements in the statutes and Agency 

regulations are binding on EPA and the 

applicants, this PR Notice is not binding 

on either EPA or pesticide registrants, 

and EPA may depart from the guidance 

where circumstances warrant and 

without prior notice. Likewise, pesticide 

registrants may assert that the guidance 

is not appropriate generally or not 

applicable to a specific pesticide or 

situation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information
