Abstract:
Pursuant to section 4(g) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) determined that several soil and non-soil fumigants are eligible for reregistration only if specific risk mitigation measures, are adopted and adequately implemented. The ICR documents the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) activities that users, registrants, and participating states must conduct to implement fumigant risk mitigation measures for the chemicals identified. The PRA burden activities discussed in this ICR include: 1) registrant activities to develop and implement training for fumigators in charge of fumigations, develop and disseminate safety information for handlers, develop and implement community outreach and education programs, and develop and implement first responder training; and 2) labeling activities for fumigant products; including user posting requirements concerning fumigant applications around the use site, providing notice of soil fumigant applications to applicable states, preparing a Fumigant Management Plan (FMP) and Post-Application Summary (PAS) as needed, participating in an EPA-approved fumigant training program, and disseminating fumigant safe handling information to handlers.

Short Statement:
There is a decrease of 309,158 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to the update in the estimate of number of applicators certified and handlers for soil and non-soil fumigations. There is also a decrease in burden costs for both types of fumigation due to updating the wages to the current 2021 data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is an adjustment.
