Abstract:
This information collection request (ICR) addresses the information collection activities in the proposed rule entitled Pesticide Product Performance Data Requirements for Products Claiming Efficacy Against Certain Invertebrate Pests (RIN 2070-AJ49). EPA is proposing to codify product performance data requirements to support registration of pesticidal products claiming efficacy against three categories of invertebrate pests: Those identified to be of significant public health importance (e.g., ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc.), wood-destroying insects (e.g., termites), and certain invasive invertebrate species (e.g., Asian longhorned beetle). The two latter categories are non-agricultural pests considered to be of significant economic or ecological importance. Product performance data (efficacy studies) document how well the pesticide performs the intended function (such as killing or repelling) against an invertebrate pest. This ICR is designed to serve as an amendment to the existing ICR entitled Application for New and Amended Pesticide Registration, identified as EPA ICR No. 0277 and approved under OMB Control No.: 2070-0060. The existing ICR addresses the information collection activities associated with the registration of a pesticide product under Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Section 3. FIFRA provides EPA with the authority to regulate the distribution, sale and use of pesticides in the United States and ensure that pesticides will not pose unreasonable adverse effects to human health and the environment.

Short Statement:
The information collection activities related to this proposed rule are associated with the application for a new or amended registration of a pesticide that are currently approved under OMB Control No. 2070-0060 (EPA ICR No. 0277.20). The proposed rule is expected to reduce burden hours by 4,683 hours annually, including 4,515 hours from reduced paperwork burden associated with data generation and 168 hours from reduced paperwork burden associated with the application process, for a total burden cost savings of $330,000.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
