Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; Experimental Use Permits (EUPs) for

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted the 
following information collection request (ICR) to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA): Experimental Use Permits (EUPs) for 
Pesticides (EPA ICR No. 0276.16 and OMB Control No. 2070-0040). This is 
a request to renew the approval of an existing ICR, which is currently 
approved through August 31, 2018. EPA did not receive any comments in 
response to the previously provided public review opportunity issued in 
the Federal Register of December 11, 2017. With this submission to OMB, 
EPA is providing an additional 30 days for public review and comment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 13, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number Docket ID 
No. EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0628, to both EPA and OMB as follows:

Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 
Washington, DC 20460, and
     To OMB via email to [email protected]. Address

    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the

Affairs Division, Office of Pesticide Programs (7560P), Office of 
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 
Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460-0001; telephone number: (703) 305-5190; 
email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Docket: Supporting documents, including the ICR that explains in 
detail the information collection activities and the related burden and 
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 
Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, 
Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is (202) 
566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit 
http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on August 31, 
2018. Under OMB regulations, an 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: The information collection covered by this ICR provides 
EPA with the data necessary to determine whether to issue an EUP under 
section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
(FIFRA). FIFRA requires that before a pesticide product may be 
distributed or sold in the U.S., it must be registered by EPA. However, 
FIFRA section 5 authorizes EPA to issue an EUP to allow pesticide 
companies to temporarily ship pesticide products for experimental use 
for the purpose of gathering data necessary to support the application 
for registration of a pesticide product. The EUP application must be 
submitted in order to obtain a permit.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form 8570-17: Application for an Experimental Use 
Permit to Ship and Use a Pesticide for Experimental Purposes Only.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this ICR are engaged in pesticide, fertilizer, and other agricultural 
chemical manufacturing. The NAICS for respondents under the ICR 
include: 325320 (Pesticide and other Agricultural Chemical 
Manufacturing).
    Respondent's Obligation To Respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 172).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 31 (total).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Burden: 567 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total Estimated Cost: $37,497 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 11 hours in the 
total annual estimated respondent burden compared with that identified 
in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA's 
adjustment based on a slight increase in EUP submissions by program 
participants. This change is an adjustment.
