88610 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 245 / Friday, December 22, 2023 / Notices 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460–0001; 

telephone number: (706) 355–8574; 

email address: jennings.susan@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general, although this PR Notice may 

be of particular interest to those persons 

who may seek a pesticide registration 

under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. Since other 

entities may also be interested or 

affected based on future activities, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that this PR Notice 

may apply to. 

II. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

FIFRA section 4(k)(7), 7 U.S.C. 136a– 

1(k)(7), as established in an amendment 

to FIFRA contained in the Pesticide 

Registration Improvement Act of 2022 

(PRIA 5). 

III. What guidance does this PR Notice 

provide? 

As outlined in FIFRA section 4(k)(7), 

the Agency must establish the VERV 

Program by December 29, 2023, to 

incentivize development of new 

insecticides to control the spread of 

vector-borne disease to protect public 

health from mosquito born illnesses by 

granting vouchers for successfully 

registered products. If granted, the 

voucher may be redeemed to shorten the 

decision review time for a future 

pesticide application falling under 

certain specified PRIA categories. To 

achieve this, EPA is issuing PR Notice 

2023–2 to establish the new VERV 

Program by providing guidance on 

applicable requirements and procedures 

for registrants to apply for, track, and 

redeem vouchers under the VERV 

Program. 

Specifically, the Agency has amended 

the current form used for pesticide 

registration applications by adding 

optional fields to allow pesticide 

registrants to apply for the voucher 

program and to redeem previously 

granted vouchers for expediated review. 

An optional check box was added to the 

registration form for both the initial 

voucher application and the application 

for which expedited review is sought. 

Registration applicants may also attach 

an explanation for their voucher 

request, that includes a description of 

the insecticide and public health 

impacts with other required 

information, electronically or by paper 

with the registration form. The Agency 

will review the voucher application and 

award the voucher if the application 

meets the requirements of FIFRA 

section 4(k)(7). If a voucher is granted, 

an applicant may redeem the voucher 

by choosing the expedited review 

option on the amended registration 

form. 

In addition, as specified in EPA 

regulations at 40 CFR 152.119(c), 

applicant-submitted information, 

including that provided on EPA Form 

No. 8570–1, entitled ‘‘Application for 

Pesticide Registration/Amendment,’’ 

will, on request, be made available to 

the public for inspection after a 

pesticide product is registered. EPA has 

previously determined that none of the 

information that applicants provide on 

EPA Form No. 8570–1 is confidential 

business information (CBI) or otherwise 

protected under FIFRA. As such, the 

Agency is able to release the form in 

response to a request under the Freedom 

of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552 

and EPA implementing regulations at 40 

CFR 2.100. 

IV. Do PR Notices impose binding 

requirements? 

The PR Notice discussed in this 

document is intended to provide 

guidance to EPA personnel and 

decisionmakers and to pesticide 

registrants. While requirements in 

statutes and Agency regulations are 

binding on EPA and pesticide 

registrants, the PR Notice does not 

impose new binding requirements on 

either EPA or pesticide registrants, and 

EPA may depart from the guidance 

presented in the PR Notice 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. 

V. Is the revised form approved under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)? 

According to the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq., an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

that requires approval under the PRA, 

unless it has been approved by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) and displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. This PR Notice 

does not create any paperwork burdens 

that require additional approval by 

OMB under the PRA because the 

information collection activities 

associated with EPA Form No. 8570–1 

and the activities described in this PR 

Notice are already approved by OMB 

under OMB Control No. 2070–0226. The 

approved activities and related 

instruments are contained in the 

Information Collection Requests (ICR), 

entitled ‘‘Consolidated Pesticide 

Registration Submission Portal’’, 

identified as EPA ICR No. 2624.02 and 

approved under OMB Control No. 2070– 

0226.
