This information collection program is
designed to provide EPA with assurances that the packaging of
pesticide products sold and distributed to the general public in
the United States meets standards set forth by the Agency pursuant
to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
Registrants must certify to the Agency that the packaging or device
meets these standards. There are no forms associated with this
information collection activity.
US Code:
7 USC 136w(c)(3) Name of Law: Section 25(c)(3) of the Federal
Insecticide, Rodenticide and Fungicide Act
The estimated total respondent
burden is expected to increase by 614 hours from 4,893 for the
previous ICR renewal hours to 5,507 hours for this renewal. The
increase is in burden is a result of a number of factors. First,
the average burden hours per response increased from 4.20 hours to
8.04 hours per submission. The average burden per response is an
average overall all response types. Based on comments received
during consultations with stakeholders, EPA increased the burden
per response for CRP certifications that do not require data.
Second, there has been a change in the distribution of responses
among the four response types. The number of responses is expected
to decrease from 1,165 in the last ICR approval to 685. Although
the estimated number of responses for the current ICR renewal is
expected to be significantly less than the last ICR approval, there
is a net shift from less-burdensome (CRP certifications without
data) to more-burdensome (CRP certifications with data) type
responses. This increase is partially due to the expiration of the
exclusive use period for certain pesticide chemicals; registrants
with products using these chemicals will be required to provide
their own CRP test data, which will have to be reviewed for human
safety/health risk concerns.
