buyers identify antimicrobial products 

that meet the health and safety 

standards of the normal pesticide 

registration process required by the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as well as 

other EPA DfE criteria. The Agency will 

hold a webinar and is requesting written 

stakeholder comment on the proposed 

changes to the Standard.

B. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is issuing a document, entitled 

‘‘Proposed Revisions to EPA’s Safer 

Choice Standard,’’ that proposes several 

changes to the existing Safer Choice 

Standard. The Agency is proposing new 

packaging requirements to ensure that 

its Standard sets a suitable and up-todate bar for sustainable packaging and 

to respond to increased demand for 

more sustainable practices. The Agency 

is also proposing the creation of a Safer 

Choice Cleaning Service Certification 

for cleaning service providers that use 

Safer Choice-certified products for 

cleaning and DfE-certified products for 

disinfecting. EPA is proposing several 

additional changes, including a 

provision allowing for preterm 

partnership termination given 

exceptional circumstances, the addition 

of several product class requirements, 

and other changes. EPA is additionally 

proposing several technical changes 

throughout the Standard. The Agency is 

requesting comment on the changes that 

as indicated in the document entitled 

‘‘Proposed Revisions to EPA’s Safer 

Choice Standard’’ and may make further 

programmatic changes based on the 

comments received. 

EPA is also announcing a stakeholder 

engagement opportunity through a 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 218 / Tuesday, November 14, 2023 / Notices 78019 

webinar and is requesting stakeholder 

comment on the Standard updates. 

During the webinar, EPA will give a 

presentation on the Agency’s proposed 

plans for updating the Standard. After 

the presentation, there will be time for 

attendees to ask questions. The Agency 

will respond to those questions during 

the webinar and asks for written 

submission of any comments after the 

webinar. 

C. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. 

Do not submit Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Multimedia submissions. 

Multimedia submissions (audio, 

video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 

written comment. The written comment 

is considered the official comment and 

should include discussion of all points 

you wish to make. The EPA will 

generally not consider comments or 

comment contents located outside of the 

primary submission (i.e., on the web, 

cloud, or other file sharing system). 

3. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. Please note that once 

submitted, comments cannot be edited 

or removed from the docket. The EPA 

may publish any comment received to 

its public docket. 

In addition, information provided in 

response to this request may result in 

further programmatic changes based on 

the comments received. To facilitate 

commenting, EPA is requesting 

comment on specific aspects of the 

changes as indicated in the document 

titled ‘‘Proposed Revisions to EPA’s 

Safer Choice Standard’’ that is available 

in the docket. Please identify the topic 

you are responding to when submitting 

your comments. Note that you do not 

need to address every request for 

comment and may focus on those where 

you have relevant expertise or 

experience. 

II. Background 

A. What is the Safer Choice program? 

As part of its environmental mission, 

the Safer Choice program partners with 

businesses to help consumers and 

commercial buyers identify products 

with safer chemical ingredients, without 

sacrificing quality or performance. The 

Safer Choice program certifies products 

containing ingredients that have met the 

program’s specific and rigorous human 

health and environmental toxicological 

criteria. The Safer Choice program 

allows companies to use its label on 

certified products that contain safer 

ingredients and perform, as determined 

by expert evaluation. The Safer Choice 

program certification represents a high 

level of achievement in formulating 

products that are safer for people and 

the environment. For more information 

on the Safer Choice program, please see: 

https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice. 

B. What is the DfE program? 

The DfE program is a similar program 

currently used by EPA for the purpose 

of helping consumers and commercial 

buyers identify antimicrobial products 

that meet the health and safety 

standards of the normal pesticide 

registration process required by FIFRA 

as well as meeting the DfE certification 

criteria (as described in the Safer Choice 

Standard). For more information on the 

DfE program, please see: https://

www.epa.gov/pesticide-labels/learnabout-design-environment-dfecertification.
