{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that pesticide products marketed in flexible packaging (e.g., pouches) 20 fluid ounces or less in size with labeling either directly recommending residential use or reasonably interpreted to permit residential use are subject to the Child Resistant Packaging (CRP) mitigation measures, regardless of acute toxicity requirements, based on the visual similarity of the packaging design to children's food products. As such, pesticide applicants and registrants must comply with CRP for this packaging type at the size limits specified when labeled for or reasonably interpreted to permit residential use and EPA will evaluate applications for new products or amendments to currently registered products submitted to EPA under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (referred to as \"PRIA 5\"). Changes to packaging to implement CRP measures on existing products must be submitted as described in this document to allow for CRP data review. Additionally, the Agency is including recommended labeling mitigation for all flexible packaging, regardless of packaging size and intended use site.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2024/02/08/2024-02587.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"89 FR 8675","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"If a registrant has a registered pesticide product in flexible packaging that is not compliant with this determination, the registrant must contact the appropriate EPA Product Manager by August 6, 2024.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607","FRL-11686-01-OCSPP"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[],"agency_name":"EPA","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2024-02-08","updated_at":"2024-02-08T13:56:30.755-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0074-0007","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0074-0007","comment_end_date":null,"regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0074","title":"Voluntary Cancellations of Certain Pesticide Registrations and Amendments of Certain Pesticide Registrations to Terminate Certain Uses and Cancellation Order"},{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"First The Girl Scouts, Now Pepsi: Why Big Brands Hate Marijuana","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0008"},{"title":"Alaska School Children Were Served Floor Sealant Instead of Milk at a Child Care Program, School District says","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0007"},{"title":"Two Children Hospitalized After Eating THC-infused Candy Accidentally Given out by a Local Food Bank","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0006"},{"title":"More Young Kids Are Getting Sick From Cannabis Edibles","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0005"},{"title":"Cartoon Packaging and an Inconsolable High: When Magic Mushroom Chocolate Gets into the Wrong Hands","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0004"},{"title":"Boy, 9, Hospitalized After Mistaking Chemical for Candy","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0003"},{"title":"FTC Sends Cease and Desist Letters with FDA to Companies Selling Edible Products Containing Delta-8 THC in Packaging\nNearly Identical to Food Children Eat","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0002"}],"agency_name":"EPA","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2024-11-07","updated_at":"2024-11-07T21:15:59.002-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0001","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607-0001","comment_end_date":null,"regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":7,"id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0607","title":"Flexible Pouch Packaging CRP Requirements;
