Title: Pesticides; Public Availability of Identities of Inert Ingredients in Pesticides 
Abstract: In response to two petitions under the Administrative Procedures Act seeking disclosure of selected inert ingredients on pesticide labels (based on the hazard of that ingredient), EPA is contemplating rulemaking to increase public availability of both potentially hazardous inert ingredients and of inert ingredient identities in general. This action would assist consumers and users of pesticides in making informed decisions and reduce the presence of potentially hazardous ingredients in pesticides. EPA is considering various approaches, including disclosure based on hazard and broader disclosure of inert ingredient identities.
