SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an

for Pesticides (EPA ICR Number 0276.17 and OMB Control Number 2070-
0040), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a 
proposed extension of an existing ICR, which is currently approved 
through February 28, 2021. Public comments were previously requested 
via the Federal Register on August 17, 2020. A fuller description of 
the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the 
public. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not 
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
current valid OMB control number.

identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0628, online using http://www.regulations.gov. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be 
included in the docket without change, including any personal 
information provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats,

    Abstract: The information collection provides EPA with the data 
necessary to determine whether to issue an EUP under section 5 of the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA 
requires that before a pesticide product may be distributed or sold in 
the U.S., it must be registered by EPA. However, FIFRA section 5 
authorizes EPA to issue an EUP to allow pesticide 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, EUPs are issued either 
for a pesticide not registered with the Agency or for a new use of a 
registered pesticide.
    Form Number: 8570-17.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Pesticide and other Agricultural 
Chemical Manufacturing.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under FIFRA section 
5.
    Estimated number of respondents: 31.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total burden: 567 hours.
    Estimated total costs: $37,497. This includes an estimated cost of 
$0 for non-

burden hour paperwork costs, e.g., investment or maintenance and 
operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates from the last approval: There are no 
changes in the estimates.
