Abstract:
This Information Collection Request (ICR) covers the paperwork burden hours and costs associated with the information collection activities under the pesticide registration fee programs implemented through the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pesticide registrants are required by statute to pay an annual registration maintenance fee for all products registered under Section 3 and Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Additionally, Section 33 of FIFRA establishes statutory fees and timeframes for EPAs review of covered applications. PRIA 5 which was enacted December 2022, did many things including that it extended the authority to collect pesticide maintenance fees through FY2027 and the authority to collect pesticide registration service fees through FY2029.This ICR specifically covers the activities related to the collection of the annual registration maintenance fees, the registration service fees, and the burden associated with the submission of requests for fees to be waived.

Short Statement:
There is an increase of 518 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This is a result of a small increase in the number of respondents involved by 369. There is an increase in costs for the regulated community by $134,440. There is also an increase in costs for the Agency by $142,464. The increase in costs for both are based on updated BLS wage rates. There is also a decrease of $3,564 in non-labor costs due to applicants switching to electronic payment systems. These are adjustments.
