This information collection request
documents a one-time Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) burden for the
final rule-related changes to labeling requirements for certain
minimum risk pesticide products exempt from EPA registration under
40 CFR 152.25(f). These proposed changes are contained in the final
rule entitled: Pesticides; Revisions to Minimum Risk Exemption. The
final rule reorganizes the ingredients lists and adds specific
chemical identifiers to make it clearer for manufacturers; the
public; and Federal, state, and tribal inspectors the specific
ingredients that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products.
EPA is also modifying the label requirements to require the use of
specific common chemical names of ingredients and to require
producer contact information on the label. The primary goal of this
proposal is to clarify the conditions of exemption for minimum risk
pesticides by clarifying the specific ingredients that are
permitted in minimum risk pesticide products and to provide company
contact information on the label.
US Code:
7 USC
136 Name of Law: Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA)
