Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: EPA estimates a net decrease of 80,615 hours annually over the expiring ICR. The decrease is primarily related to EPA's projection that 47 fewer tolerance petitions will received from the pesticide registrant community annually compared to the previous three years (2006, 2007, and 2008), down from 150 submissions to 103. This would result in a corresponding 81,122 hour reduction in estimated annual burden. The change is an adjustment. In addition, EPA estimates that IR-4 petitioners are changing the way in which they compile tolerance petitions for submission to EPA in an effort to capture the new fee waiver incentives under the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act. This change in IR-4 petition preparation results in an additional 13 hours per response, resulting in a program change increase of 507 hours annually.
