This ICR is
approved for three years with the understanding that EPA submit an
information correction worksheet in one year to decrease the burden
level from 25,168 to 3,960 and in two years to further decrease the
burden to 1,320. These changes would be program decreases. In
addition, and as a condition of clearance, EPA shall make available
to registrants "Information Sheets" which explain the basis of
exemptions from the reregistration fees especially as it concerns
antimicrobial products which are exempt if total production of all
registrants is less than 1,000,000 pounds. Any policy notices or
information sheets concerning exemption policy including minor use
and small volume shall be provided to OMB prior to issuance.
