cost estimates that are summarized in this document, are available in 
the docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, West William

566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit 
http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    ICR Status: OMB approval for this ICR expired on July 1, 2017 due 
to administrative error. This action is a request to reinstate OMB 
approval for the information collection activities outlined in this 
document. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or 
sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending 
at OMB. Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 
The OMB control numbers are displayed either by publication in the 
Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related 
collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB 
control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 
part 9.
    Abstract: This ICR covers the paperwork burden hours and costs 
associated with the information collection activities under the 
pesticide registration fee programs implemented through EPA's Office of 
Pesticide Programs. 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). In addition, the Pesticide Registration 
Improvement Act (PRIA) amended FIFRA in 2004 to create a registration 
service fee system for applications for specific pesticide 
registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance actions 
(Section 33). This mandatory collection specifically covers the 
activities related to the annual registration maintenance fees, the 
registration service fees and the burden associated with the submission 
of requests for fees to be waived.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this ICR are pesticide and other agricultural chemical manufacturers, 
other basic inorganic chemical manufacturers, other basic organic 
chemical manufacturers, and regulators of agricultural marketing 
commodities.
    Respondent's Obligation To Respond: This information collection is 
mandatory under FIFRA sections 4(i)(5) and 33.
    Estimated Total Number of Potential Respondents: 1,471
    Frequency of Response: Annual and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Burden: Ranges from 1,681 to 6,840 hours per year 
depending

[[Page 37218]]

on the program. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Estimated Total Costs: $63,971 (per year). There are no annualized 
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The total annual burden for respondents 
associated with pesticide product registration maintenance fee is 1,681 
hours, a decrease from 1,993 hours as previously reported in the last 
ICR. The reason for the decrease was a slight refinement in the 
estimate per response from 1.14 hours to 1.13 hours and a reduction in 
the number responses from 1,744 to 1,471. Costs increased since the 
last renewal because of labor cost increases. The total estimated 
annual respondent burden for the pesticide registration service fee 
waivers information collection has increased about 15% from 5,914 hours 
in the existing ICR to 6,840 hours for this renewal, due to the 
increase of respondent's usage of the newer waiver provisions allowed 
under the law.
