Short Statement: The total estimated respondent burden for this renewal ICR reflects a net increase of about 59,190 hours. This net increase reflects a change in EPA's estimated number of respondents. Notably, EPA estimates that 1,525 fewer respondents will apply for applicator certification under a federal program in Indian Country, and that there will be 2,300 fewer commercial applicator respondents certified under a federal program in Indian Country who must maintain records of RUP applications. Despite the reduction in the number of estimated respondents working under a federal program in Indian Country, EPA also estimates that an additional 21,464 commercial applicator respondents certified under an authorized program will need to maintain records of RUP applications. Additionally, the previously approved number of responses for recordkeeping by commercial applicators not in Indian Country was erroneously entered in Reginfo.gov as 7,578,000, but should have been 421,000, which correctly appeared in the previously approved supporting statement. For this renewal, that number is 442,464, which is a slight increase from the previously approved estimate. These changes are adjustments.
