This is a proposed addendum to the
currently approved information collection request (ICR) related to
a proposed rule. EPA is amending the registration requirements for
antimicrobial pesticide products to streamline the procedures,
reduce the review periods, and improve the regulatory management of
these products. This proposed rule is expected to increase the
paperwork burdens slightly in some instances, while reducing them
in others.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
