Abstract: This ICR covers the burden of complying with the labeling requirements for certain minimum risk pesticide products exempt from Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) registration under 40 CFR 152.25(f). These requirements were updated in a 2015 final rule to reorganize the ingredients lists and add specific chemical identifiers to clarify for manufacturers, the public, and Federal, state, and tribal inspectors the specific chemical substances that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products. EPA also modified the label requirements to require the use of specific label display names of ingredients and to require producer contact information on the label.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease of 4,934 hours in the total estimated 3-year respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPAs updating of burden estimates for this collection based upon the assumption that products existing prior to the 2015 Final Rules compliance date of February 26, 2019, have met the requirements of the rule update. This ICR now accounts for those products that are considered new to the market after the 2015 Final Rule compliance date. Based on these assumptions, the number of labeling responses per year has decreased from 386 to 87, with a corresponding decrease in the associated burden. This change is an adjustment. The total burden hours per response (5.5 hours) has not changed for this ICR renewal. However, because of the decrease in the number of labeling activities per year, the total 3-year response burden estimate has decreased from 6,369 hours to 1,436 hours.
