via the Federal Register on August 17, 2020. A fuller description of

Abstract: The information collection provides EPA with the data
necessary to determine whether to issue an EUP under section 5 of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA
requires that before a pesticide product may be distributed or sold in
the U.S., it must be registered by EPA. However, FIFRA section 5
authorizes EPA to issue an EUP to allow pesticide companies to
temporarily ship pesticide products for experimental use for the
purpose of gathering data necessary to support the application for
registration of a pesticide product. In general, EUPs are issued either
for a pesticide not registered with the Agency or for a new use of a
registered pesticide.
Form Number: 8570-17.
Respondents/Affected entities: Pesticide and other Agricultural
Chemical Manufacturing.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under FIFRA section
5.
Estimated number of respondents: 31.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total burden: 567 hours.
Estimated total costs: $37,497. This includes an estimated cost of
$0 for non-
[[Page 1960]]
burden hour paperwork costs, e.g., investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
Changes in the estimates from the last approval: There are no
changes in the estimates.
Dated: December 11, 2020.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
