    Title: Recordkeeping Requirements for Producers, Registrants, and
Applicants of Pesticides and Pesticide Devices Under Section 8 of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0143.11, OMB Control No. 2070-0028.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2011.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Producers of pesticides must maintain certain records
with respect to their operations and make such records available for
inspection and copying as specified in section 8 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and in regulations
at 40 CFR Part 169. This information collection is mandatory under
FIFRA section 8. It is used by the Agency to determine compliance with
the Act. The information is used by EPA Regional pesticide enforcement
and compliance staffs, the Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance (OECA), and the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) within the
Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), as well as
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), and other Federal agencies, States under
Cooperative Enforcement Agreements, and the public. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2
hours per response. 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. This
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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Producers of pesticides for sale or
distribution in the United States.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 11,600.
    Frequency of Response: Annual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 23,200.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,762,040. There are no annualized
capital or O&M costs associated with this ICR since all equipment
associated with this ICR is present as part of ordinary business
practices.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 3,600 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is an adjustment due to a change in
the number of respondents since the last ICR.

    Dated: January 20, 2011.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
