Abstract: EPA intends to initiate a voluntary information collection for consumer research involving the conduct of surveys, focus groups and one-on-one interviews to test various versions of pesticide product labels and other informational materials developed for the general public. The purpose for such consumer research is to identify the consumer's understanding of the information on a pesticide product label. EPA would use this information to formulate decisions and policies affecting the labeling of pesticide products.
