The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted a request to renew their authority to collect information regarding Experimental Use Permits (EUPs) for pesticides. This collection helps the EPA decide whether to issue EUPs, which allow pesticide companies to temporarily use pesticides for research purposes before registration. The request will be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and public comments are invited until February 10, 2021. The renewal does not impact prior estimates of the time or costs involved, which anticipate 567 hours of effort from 31 respondents, at a total cost of $37,497.
Simple Explanation
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants permission to keep asking companies questions about using special test permits for pesticides to make sure they are safe. They are checking with another group if it's okay to keep doing this, and people can say what they think until February 10, 2021.
