FIFRA STAG Grantees Keep Reporting
If your organization is a grantee in the FIFRA State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) program (state, local government, Indian tribe, or U.S. territory), you must continue mandatory reporting in the FIFRA Grant Database. EPA estimates there are 80 potential respondents, each reporting biannually (2 responses per respondent), for a total estimated burden of 25,872 hours per year and total estimated costs of $2,580,269 per year.
EPA Seeks Comments by January 20, 2026
EPA is asking for public comments on this information collection and must receive them by January 20, 2026. EPA specifically requests comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of steps EPA could take to reduce paperwork burden.
Burden Hours Unchanged; Wage Rates Updated
EPA states there is no change in the total estimated respondent burden hours compared with the currently approved ICR, and the only change is an update of the wage rates for respondents and the Agency (an adjustment). The ICR is currently approved through July 31, 2026.
