Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Mandatory e‑submission for pesticide registrations
If you are a pesticide registrant or related entity, you must continue to submit pesticide registration, use, sale/distribution, permitting, and tolerance determination information electronically through EPA's Consolidated Pesticide Registration Submission Portal (Central Data Exchange). The collection is mandatory under FIFRA and FFDCA and the ICR covers specific forms (e.g., 8570-1, 8570-4, 8570-5, etc.).
Large annual paperwork hours and costs
EPA estimates the consolidated collection imposes a total annual burden of 2,234,433 hours and total annual costs of $172,873,497, across an estimated 15,023 potential respondents. The average number of responses per respondent ranges between 1 and 74 and responses occur on occasion.
Estimated burden and response counts increased
Compared with the currently approved ICR, EPA reports an increase of 59,385 hours in total estimated respondent burden and an increase of 32,627 anticipated responses due to updated estimates and the inclusion of an additional prior ICR (OMB Control No. 2070-0214).
EPA asks very small businesses for burden‑reduction ideas
EPA specifically requests comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) with examples of steps EPA could take to reduce the paperwork burden for this collection; comments are due on or before February 2, 2026. This is an opportunity for very small businesses to suggest ways to lower compliance burden.
