Abstract: 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.
