This information collection program is designed to provide EPA with assurances that the packaging of pesticide products sold and distributed to the general public in the United States meets standards set forth by the Agency pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Registrants of such pesticide products must certify to the Agency that the packaging or device meets these standards, in order to protect children and adults from serious illness or injury resulting from accidental ingestion or contact.
US Code:
7 USC 136w(c)(3)
Name of Law: Section 25(c)(3) of the Federal Insecticide, Rodenticide and Fungicide Act
The number of responses received annually decreased from the previous estimate because EPA is receiving fewer responses and because the Agency made an accounting error in the previous estimate. The estimated total annual time burden also decreased, but by a much smaller percentage because the estimated burden per response increased, due primarily to adding paperwork burden associated with conducting the studies to generate data as the basis for a certification.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
