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.

    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.
