IV.
What
Information
Collection
Activity
or
ICR
Does
this
Action
Apply
to?

EPA
is
seeking
comments
on
the
following
ICR:
Title:
Supplemental
Registration
of
a
Pesticide
Product.
ICR
numbers:
EPA
ICR
No.
0278.08,
OMB
Control
No.
2070
 
0044.
ICR
status:
This
ICR
is
a
renewal
of
an
existing
ICR
that
is
currently
approved
by
OMB
and
is
due
to
expire
October
31,
2003.
Abstract:
This
information
collection
activity
provides
the
Agency
with
notification
of
supplemental
registration
of
distributors
of
pesticide
products.
Section
3(
e)
of
FIFRA
allows
pesticide
registrants
to
distribute
or
sell
a
registered
pesticide
product
under
a
different
name
instead
of
or
in
addition
to
their
own.
Such
distribution
and
sale
is
termed
``
supplemental
distribution''
and
the
product
is
termed
a
``
distributor
product.''
EPA
requires
the
pesticide
registrant
to
submit
a
supplemental
statement
(
EPA
Form
8570
 
5)
when
the
registrant
has
entered
into
an
agreement
with
a
second
company
that
will
distribute
the
registrant's
product
under
the
second
company's
name
and
product
name.
Since
the
last
approval,
EPA
has
not
changed
the
substance
or
the
method
of
collection
for
this
activity.

V.
What
are
EPA's
Burden
and
Cost
Estimates
for
this
ICR?
Under
the
PRA,
``
burden''
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
Agency.
For
this
collection
it
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
The
ICR
provides
a
detailed
explanation
of
this
estimate,
which
is
only
briefly
summarized
in
this
notice.
The
annual
public
burden
is
estimated
to
be
1,250
hours.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
estimates
taken
from
the
ICR:
Respondents/
affected
entities:
Pesticide
registrants.
Estimated
total
number
of
potential
respondents:
5,000
.
Frequency
of
response:
As
needed
per
event.
Estimated
total/
average
number
of
responses
for
each
respondent:
1.
Estimated
total
annual
burden
hours:
1,250.
Estimated
total
annual
burden
costs:
$
120,000.

VI.
Are
There
Changes
in
the
Estimates
from
the
Last
Approval?

There
are
no
changes
in
the
estimated
respondent
burden
hours
from
the
last
renewal.
The
annual
respondent
cost
estimate
rose
from
$
118,500
to
$
120,000
as
a
result
of
the
estimated
increase
in
hourly
rates.

VII.
What
is
the
Next
Step
in
the
Process
for
this
ICR?

EPA
will
consider
the
comments
received
and
amend
the
ICR
as
appropriate.
The
final
ICR
package
will
then
be
submitted
to
OMB
for
review
and
approval
pursuant
to
5
CFR
1320.12.
EPA
will
issue
another
Federal
Register
notice
pursuant
to
5
CFR
1320.5(
a)(
1)(
iv)
to
announce
the
submission
of
the
ICR
to

September
23,
1986,
the
CPSC
agreed
to
EPA
procedures
governing
access
to
CBI
submitted
to
EPA
under
TSCA.
In
accordance
with
40
CFR
2.306(
h),
EPA
has
determined
that
CPSC
requires
access
to
CBI
submitted
to
EPA
under
all
sections
of
TSCA,
to
perform
successfully
their
responsibilities
under
the
Consumer
Product
Safety

and
TSCA.
CPSC's

information
submitted
to
EPA
under
all
sections
of

Some

to
be
CBI.
Under
the
terms
of
the
MOU,
CPSC
is
not
required
to
renew
its
access
to
