This info r mation co l le c t i on request ( I CR) enables EPA to run the Pesticide

Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP) 1 . The program uses the information collected to

establish partner memb e rship

, develop ste wa rdship st r a t eg ies

, measure progress towards

stewardship goals, and award incentives. P ESP is an EPA partnership p r o g r a m implemented by

the O f f ice of P e st i c i d e P rog r a ms ( O PP ) established in 1994 . Its goal is to p r omo t e environmental

stewardship to protect human health and the environment. PESP encourages the use of int e g r a ted

p e st man a g e ment ( I P M) strategies to r e d u c e p e sts a nd p e st i c ide r isks through pa r tne r ships with

entities among t he p e st i c ide us e r c om m uni t y

. I P M is an a pproa c h that invo l v e s making the b e st

c h oic e s f r om amo n g a s e ri e s of p e st m a n a g e ment p r ac t ic e s . It a l l ows f or e c onom i ca l p e st

, and does so with t he le a st po s sib l e h a z a rd to peopl e

, pro pe r t y

, a nd the

e nvironme n t.

While most PESP members a re entities that are p e st i c ide e n d

- use r s, s e v e r a l other s are

o r g a ni z a t i ons which focus on tr a in i n g

, e du ca t i n g , or in f lue n c i n g p e st i c ide us e rs. To become a

PESP member, a pesticide user entity or an o r g a ni z a t i on sub m i t s a n app l i ca t i on a nd a fiv e

str a t eg y . The strategy outlines how e nviron m e ntal a n d human h ea l t h risk re d u c t i on goals will be

achieved throu g h the i m plem e ntation of I P M, or throu g h e du c a t i ng ot h e rs on I P M. The p r o g r a m

en c ourag e s P ESP memb e rs to t r a c k pr o g r e ss t ow a rds I P M g o a ls : reduc tions in unn e ce ssa r y use

of p e st i c ides , cost reductions, a nd knowl e d g e shared a bout I P M methodolo g ies. E ntities in

PESP benefit from technical assistance

, and through incentives for achievements at different

levels.

The incentive stru c ture of PE S P is dep e nd e nt upon members’ submission to EPA of I P M

sustained reduction of pesticide risks and an independent measure of IPM implementation. 2 The

data needed to quali f y is collected through the annual PESP reports

. In addition, a nnual pro g r e ss

As shown in Table s 2 through 4

submit the five year PE S P str a te g y (usi n g the applicable P ESP S tr a te g y / P r o g re ss R e porting F o r m )

to be 10 managerial hours ; the burden to p re p a re a nd submit the PE S P M emb e rship A ppl i ca t i o n

f

or all member s is estimated to be 2 man a g e ri a l ho u rs

.

The b u r d e n ho u rs for the annual progress report, however, vary by type of member . T his

activity also represents the majority of burden hours for all types of members. The total annual

burden ho u rs to p re p ar e a nd submit the a nnu a l p r o g r e ss re port or survey are 25, 100, and 300 f or

IPM promoters, IPM users, and n a t i on a l IP M use r s respectively

, as shown in Table 1 below . In the

first year, these hours are used to plan, prepare, and setup to submit the annual PESP surveys. For

subsequent years

, the paperwork burden estimates are to p re p a re a nd submit the survey.March 10 , 2016

10 Table 1: Total Burden Hours for Submitting Annual PESP S urveys

As shown below in Table 5

, EPA e st i mat e s that an av e ra g e o f 4 19 e n t i t i e s will p a rticip a te

in the P ESP p e r y e a r during the next th r e e y e a r I CR p e riod. That estimate is based on the current

number of existing members and average number of new members joining during the last three

years. As of January 2016, PESP had 396 existing members. On average, 23 new members joined

each year during the previous three years in all membership categories, combined

. The number

419 assumes that each year, for the next three years, 23 new members will join. Based on existing

PESP data , 1 0 8 members are IPM promoters, 2 2 5 are IPM users, and 6 3 are national IPM users.

EPA estimates an average of 47

, 665 annual hours for all member s at a cost of $ 3

. 0 7 million per

year.

T here is an increase of 4

, 642 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared

with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA's

updating of burden estimates for this collection based upon historical information on the number

of PESP members. Members are classified as IMP Promoters, IPM Users, and National IMP

Users. Based on revised estimates, the number of IPM Promoters has decreased, the number of

IMP users has increased, and the number of National IPM users has not changed since the last

ICR renewal

. While the estimated burden per response has not changed for any category, the

shift in members hip types has resulted in a net increase in the overall burden. This change is an

adjustment

6 ( f ) B u r d e n S ta teme n t

The annual respondent burden for this ICR is estimated to average 47

, 665 hours ( 2, 959

for IPM promoters, 2 5

, 271 hours for IPM users, and 19, 435 hours for national IPM users). This

includes time to fill out and submit the PESP Membership Application, prepare and submit the

PESP strategy, and plan, setup, prepare and submit the annual PESP progress report.
