Abstract:
This ICR addresses the two information collection requirements described in regulations pertaining to pesticidal substances that are produced by plants (plant-incorporated protectants aka "PIPs") and which are codified in 40 CFR part 174. A PIP is defined as "the pesticidal substance that is intended to be produced and used in a living plant and the genetic material necessary for the production of such a substance." Many, but not all, PIPs are exempt from registration requirements under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). When registering a PIP, an applicant may sometimes include information that they claim to be confidential business information (CBI). CBI is protected by FIFRA and generally cannot be released to the public. Under 40 CFR part 174, whenever an applicant claims that information submitted to EPA in support of a registration application for a PIP contains CBI, the applicant must substantiate such claims when they are made. In addition, manufacturers of PIPs that are otherwise exempted from the requirements of registration must report subsequent adverse effects information (i.e., risk/benefit information under FIFRA section 6(a)(2))of the PIP to the Agency. Such reporting will allow the Agency to determine whether further action is needed to prevent unreasonable adverse effects to public health or the environment.
