Analyzed Economic Effects

Annual Compliance Burden and Costs
If you register or import pesticides, the paperwork and fee-related burden is estimated at 2,252 respondents, totaling 9,058 hours per year and $822,010 per year. The ICR covers annual responses (and occasional filings) tied to pesticide registration and related fee activities.
Statutory Mandatory Fees and Fee Types
Pesticide registrants are required by statute (FIFRA sections 4(i)(5) and 33) to pay annual registration maintenance fees and registration service fees, and may submit requests to waive fees; this ICR covers those collections and uses Form 8570-30. The EPA submitted an extension request to keep collecting this information, with the ICR currently approved through January 31, 2025.
