This collection activity provides the
Agency with notification of supplemental registration of
distributors of peticide products. EPA is responsible for the
regulation of pesticides as mandaed by FIFRA. Section 3(e) of FIFRA
allows pesticide registrants to distribute or sell a registered
pesticide product under a diferent name instead of or in addition
to their own. Such distribution and sale is termed "supplmental
distribution" and the product is termed a "distributor product."
EPA requires the pesticide registant to submit a supplement
statement (EPA Form 8570-5, Notice of Supplemental Distribution of
a Registered......
The total annual response
burden associated with the notice of supplemental distribution of a
registered pesticide product is 595 hours, a decrease of 405 hours
over the 1000 hours estimated in the ICR from 2003. This decrease
is an adjustment. The average number of supplemental registrations
received by the EPA over the last three years is 2,479 responses
per year (2,607 in FY2003, 2605 in FY2004, and 2,226 in FY2005). We
estimate, therefore, that we will receive an average of 2,479
supplemental registrations annually for the next three years.
