Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) intends to initiate a new information collection, a voluntary one-time internet survey for consumer research. The goals of the internet survey are to (1) identify the types of information that users of insect repellents want on the label of an insect repellent product and (2) test four versions of an efficacy mark. This efficacy mark is a graphic that could be placed on the front label of an insect repellent to standardize the presentation of information on how long the insect repellent repels ticks or mosquitoes. The ultimate goal of this activity is to help the consumer to effectively use information on the label to select the insect repellent product most likely to meet their needs and readily understand label instructions regarding safe product use. One survey would be conducted over the life of the ICR.
