Abstract: This information collection request documents a one-time Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) burden for proposed 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 proposed rule entitled: Pesticides; Revisions to Minimum Risk Exemption. The proposed rule reorganizes the ingredients lists and adds specific chemical identifiers to make it clearer to manufacturers; the public; and Federal, state, and tribal inspectors the specific ingredients that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products. EPA also modifies 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 standardize the labeling requirements.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is a new ICR related to a proposed rule. A new burden of 6,369 hours as the result of a program change: proposed changes to the exemption for minimum risk pesticide products that, if they become final as proposed, would require manufacturers of these products to modify their labels to refer to ingredients using common chemical names and to provide company contact information on the label. This would result in a one-time burden increase for manufacturers of these products. Though the Agency proposes that manufacturers have a period of two years for changing their labels and selling products with older labels, this ICR assumes that all known manufacturers of these products will incur the burden of understanding and beginning a label change in the same year. EPA feels that conducting the calculations in this way may be a likely an overestimate of the burden on these manufacturers, but provides the most comprehensive assessment of this re-labeling burden.
