Abstract: Non-Substantive Change Request: The Agency is making modifications to EPA Form number 8570-1“Application for Pesticide Registration/Amendment” for pesticide registration to include optional fields for the application and award of the Agency’s new Vector Expedited Review Voucher (VERV) program established under the Pesticide Registration and Improvement Act (PRIA) enacted in December 2022. EPA must establish the VERV program to incentivize expedited review of new insecticides to control the spread of vector-borne disease by December 29, 2023. EPA developed the attached modified form 8570-1 in compliance with PRIA 5. Base Collection Abstract: This new ICR consolidates the collection activities and related burdens currently contained in eight ICRs that are approved by OMB under the PRA. The OMB Terms of Clearance for several of the existing ICRs directed EPA to consolidate these ICRs to simplify the burden presentation and calculations for the public due to the shared or anticipated collection method involving submissions via the Pesticide Submission Portal in EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX). This consolidation is expected to clarify the capabilities of the Pesticide Submission Portal for respondents and will streamline the activities related to tracking the ICR renewal activities for both the public and EPA. The new ICR covers the EPA pesticide registration collection activities supporting the statutorily mandated pesticide registration program under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), including the activities associated with pesticide registration; pesticide use; pesticide sale and distribution; pesticide permitting activities; determinations regarding whether a product must be regulated under FIFRA; and pesticide tolerances under the FFDCA.

Short Statement: This information collection combines the burdens from eight previously approved ICRs. The total combined respondent burden hours from those previously approved ICRs by OMB were estimated at 2,175,048 hours, the same amount requested for this ICR. The total combined cost burden from these eight previously approved ICRs was $170,250,338. The total cost burden requested for this ICR is $183,157,210 a increase of $12,906,872. The difference between the current cost burden request and the previously approved requests is due only to adjustments in EPAs estimates of the wage rates and material costs that were revised to reflect 2022 dollars for this ICR.
