    (a) Requirement. Each product is required to bear hazard and 
precautionary statements for environmental hazards, including hazards to 
non-target organisms, as prescribed in this subpart. Hazard statements 
describe the type of hazard that may be present, while precautionary 
statements direct or inform the user of actions to take to avoid the 
hazard or mitigate its effects.
    (b) Location of statements. Environmental hazard and precautionary 
statements may appear on any panel of the label and may be required also 
in supplemental labeling. The environmental hazard statements must 
appear together under the heading ``Environmental Hazards.'' Typically 
the statements are grouped as a sub-category within the ``Precautionary 
Statements'' section of the labeling.
    (c) Type size. All environmental hazard and precautionary statements 
must be at least 6 point type.
