The Consumer Labeling Initiative (CLI), a pilot program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, was initiated in March 1996. The initiation of the project was announced in a Federal Register (FR) notice dated March 22, 1996 (61 FR 12011). The goal of the CLI is to foster pollution prevention, empower consumer choice, and improve consumer understanding of safe use, environmental, and health information on household consumer product labels. The CLI is a multi-phased pilot project focusing on indoor insecticides, outdoor pesticides, and household hard surface cleaners (i.e., floor and basin, tub and tile), some of which are registered antimicrobials/disinfectants. The CLI has involved a wide range of participants representing many interests related to consumer labeling issues, including federal and state government agencies, private industry, public interest groups, and individual citizens.

This web site provides access to the CLI Phase II Report which documents the process, research, and findings coming out of Phase II of the CLI. The report is available for downloading in entirety or in individual chapters and sections, in both Portable Document Format (PDF) and HTML formats. Due to their size, the appendices are only available in PDF format. 

We recommend that if you simply want to browse through the document you use the HTML version of each file, and for printing purposes you use the PDF versions.

CLI provides copies of the surveys and labels used to generate the data in the Phase II Report. They are:
