II. 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:

III. What is the DfE program? 

The DfE program is a companion 

program to Safer Choice and certifies 

antimicrobial products. The DfE logo 

may be used on certified products and 

helps consumers and commercial 

buyers identify products that meet the 

health and safety standards of the 

pesticide registration process required 

by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as well as 

the Safer Choice program’s stringent 

criteria for efficacy and effects on 

human health and the environment. For

under this NSPS. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Sewage 

Sludge Incinerators.
