| Title: Pesticides; Reconsideration of Exemptions for Insect Repellents |
| Abstract: On March 15, 2006, the Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) petitioned EPA to modify the Minimum Risk Pesticides exemption under 40 CFR 152.25(f). Specifically, CSPA requested that EPA change section 152.25(f) to exclude from the exemption those pesticides that claim to control "pests of significant public health importance" and require an abbreviated registration for any products that are to be used for the control of public health pests. The Agency agrees that the concerns have merit. In this action, EPA will explore options, including potential rulemaking, to respond to these concerns. |
