Pesticide Data Call‑Ins Renewal
The EPA submitted the Pesticide Data Call‑Ins information collection request (ICR No. 2288.21, OMB Control No. 2070-0174) for extension beyond its current approval through December 31, 2025. Responding is mandatory under FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B), and EPA requests public comments by January 29, 2026.
Large Estimated Reporting Burden
EPA estimates 385 respondents will spend a total of 2,551,600 hours responding to Pesticide Data Call‑Ins and that the total respondent cost is $240,726,041. EPA also reports a decrease of 7,194,896 hours in total estimated respondent burden compared with the currently approved ICR.
Changes in Types and Counts of DCIs
EPA reports changes in the number of Data Call‑Ins (DCIs): Maintenance DCIs increase by 45, Registration Review DCIs decrease by 227, and Resistance Management Plan DCIs drop from 237 to 1. These changes affect which kinds of data requests pesticide registrants may receive.
