ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2297.01, OMB Control No. 2070–New. ICR Status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is proposing to initiate a new information collection activity. EPA intends to initiate a voluntary information collection for consumer research involving the conduct of surveys, focus groups and one-on-one interviews to test various versions of pesticide product labels and other informational materials developed for the general public. The pesticide label provides critical information about how to handle and safely use the pesticide product and avoid harm to human health and the environment. Every pesticide product must bear a label containing the information specified by FIFRA as established in EPA’s labeling regulations at 40 CFR 156.10. The purpose for such consumer research is to identify the consumer’s understanding of the information on a pesticide product label. EPA would use this information to formulate decisions and policies affecting the labeling of pesticide products. The ultimate goal of this activity is to assure that the consumer can effectively use this information to select the pesticide product most likely to meet their needs and readily understand label instructions regarding product use. The collected information would be used to revise pesticide product labels and to create other user friendly consumer information materials. It is anticipated that several surveys, focus groups, and/or one-on-one interviews would be conducted over the life of the ICR. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.89 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:37 May 13, 2009 Jkt 217001 develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2297.01, OMB Control No. 2070-New.
    ICR Status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) 
is proposing to initiate a new information collection activity. EPA 
intends to initiate a voluntary information collection for consumer 
research involving the conduct of surveys, focus groups and one-on-one 
interviews to test various versions of pesticide product labels and

    The collected information would be used to revise pesticide product
