product labels:
This pesticide is toxic to fish. Do not
discharge effluent containing this product into
lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or
public water unless this is specifically identified
in an NPDES permit. Do not discharge
effluent containing this product into sewer
systems without previously notifying the
sewage treatment plant authority. For
guidance, contact your State Water Board or
Regional Office of EPA.

on pears:
Do not reenter treated areas for 24 hours
without protective clothing.
3.) The worker protection statements listed below
must appear as part of the precautionary
statements for all end-use amitraz products:
During mixing/loading or application, wear a
protective suit which has long sleeves and
long pants. Wear chemical resistant gloves, a
hat, boots, and goggles or face shield. A
helmet with visor may be substituted for the
hat and goggles during aerial application.
Mixer/loaders should also wear a chemical
resistant apron when handling the

BROMOXYNIIL
Criteria of Concern
Action/Use Affected
Mutagenicity
In order to avoid cancellation, the sole registrant, Rhone-
Poulenc, was required to amend the registrations for its

products can no longer be used for turf and noncrop
areas.
These amendments include adding warning statements
to the product labels stating that exposure during
pregnancy causes birth defects in laboratory animals,
restricting its use to certified applicators, and requiring
additional protective clothing for mixers, loaders, and
applicators.
Rhone-Poulenc is also required to conduct an extensive
notification and educational program for bromoxynil users
to inform them of the potential birth defect risks for
mixing, loading, and applying bromoxynil, as well as the
importance of following the new risk reduction measures.
Rhone-Poulenc was also required to adhere to the
following shipment provisions:
1.) By May 6, 1989, the registrant was required to halt
shipment of all bromoxynil products until approved
amended stickers are affixed to each container
within the company's possession.
2.) By May 15,1989, the registrant was required to
provide each distributor holding inventory of
bromoxynil products sufficient stickers for such
inventory.
3.) By May 25,1989, the registrant was required to
provide each reseller and retailer holding inventory
of bromoxynil products sufficient stickers for such
inventory.
4.) The registrant was also required to provide each
distributor, reseller, and retailer with instructions '
concerning the manner in which the sticker must
be affixed to each container, and to implement the
attached labeling communication plan by the dates
described therein.

6.) After October 1, 1989, the registrant was required
to ensure that all bulk containers released for
shipment include a mechanical transfer
mechanism which terminates in a drip-free hard
coupling that may be used only with a spray or
mix tank that has been fitted with a compatible

7.) By October 1, 1989, the registrant was required to
establish a program to provide assistance to users
who do not own a mechanical transfer system
which terminates in a drop-free hard coupling and
who wish to obtain such a system or to modify
their present system.

chemical physical characteristics. The following
is the appropriate pesticide disposal statement for
all 2,4-D products, except those labeled for
household use only:
Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper
disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture,
or rinsate is a violation of federal law and
may contaminate ground water. If these

agency or the hazardous waste
representative at the nearest EPA Regional
Office for guidance.
Products labeled for household use only must
bear the following disposal statement:
Securely wrap original container in several
layers of newspaper and discard in trash.

contaminated absorbent material by placing
in a plastic bag and following disposal
instructions on this label.
Triple rinse empty containers and add
the rinsate to the mixing tank.
Cleaning of Equipment. When cleaning
equipment, do not pour the washwater on
the ground - spray or drain over a large area
away from wells and other water sources.

TRIFLURALJN
Criteria of Concern Oncogenicity
Mutagenicity
Action/Use Affected In order to avoid cancellation of all trifluralin products,
registrants must amend the terms of registration as
follows:
1.) Confidential Statement of Formula
a.) Registrants must amend the inert ingredients
statement of formula for each technical
registered product to read as follows:
Total N-nitrosamine
contamination: no greater than
0.5 ppm.
b.) Registrations for formulated registered
products must be amended to include the
following statement in the confidential
statement of formula:
Total N-nitrosamine
contamination: no greater than
(number to be calculated as
follows: 0.5 ppm total N-
nitrosamine contamination
allowed in technical trifluralin x
X% technical trifluralin in the end-
use product x 2 to allow for
possible generation of
nitrosamines during formulation).
2.) Quality and Records
Registrants of trifluralin pesticides products must
maintain accurate records of their quality control
efforts, which will be subject to EPA review and
must inform EPA of the quality control
procedures that they will adopt to ensure that the
N-nitrosamine contamination limit listed in the
confidential statement of formula will not be
exceeded.
