Abstract: This information collection request documents the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) burden for the labeling requirements for
certain minimum risk pesticide products exempt from Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) registration under
40 CFR 152.25(f). Under 40 CFR 152.25(f), EPA has exempted from the
requirement of FIFRA registration certain pesticide products if they
are composed of specified ingredients and labeled accordingly. EPA
created the exemption for minimum risk pesticides to eliminate the need
for industry or business to expend significant resources to apply for
and maintain regulated products that are deemed to be of minimum risk
to human health and the environment. In addition, exempting such
products freed Agency resources to focus on evaluating formulations
whose toxicity was less well characterized, or was of higher toxicity.
The labeling requirements are the key component of the minimum risk
exemption since this is the only information that enforcement
authorities have to assess whether or not the product meets the
exemption requirements. While EPA does not review these products, and
therefore a Federal label review is not conducted, to maintain
exemption status, an exempt product's label must meet certain criteria.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Individuals or entities engaged in
activities related to the minimum risk pesticide products covered by
the exemption, including manufacturers, distributers, retailers, and
users of the subject minimum risk pesticides.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents: 7 (total).
Frequency of response: One time.
Total estimated burden: 478.5 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $61,018.45 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.
Courtney Kerwin,
Director, Regulatory Support Division.
