Abstract

EPA is issuing a final policy statement on labeling revisions required by the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for sale or distribution of certain agricultural pesticides after October 23, 1995. This policy addresses pesticide products that are within the scope of the WPS, do not bear full WPS labeling, and are being sold or distributed by any person, other than the registrant. Certain statements are required to be placed on the labeling of all pesticide products within the scope of the WPS. These statements reference the WPS and certain practices intended to reduce or eliminate human exposure to pesticides. In most instances, these statements were required to appear on all WPS products by April 21, 1994. Wholesalers and dealers may have stocks of product that do not have WPS complying labeling. This policy presents options for the registrant to relabel the product or authorize the person(s) holding the product for distribution or sale to relabel the product. This policy statement does not apply to growers, custom applicators, or other persons holding product for their own use, unless they also distribute and sell pesticides or are registrants. EFFECTIVE DATE: This policy became effective on September 28, 1995. The contents of this statement were issued on September 28, 1995, as Pesticide Regulation (PR) Notice 95-5.
