    (a) Scope. (1) This subpart prescribes statements that must be 
placed on the pesticide label and in pesticide labeling. These 
statements incorporate by reference the Worker Protection Standard, part 
170 of this chapter. The requirements addressed in these statements are 
designed to reduce the risk of illness or injury resulting from workers' 
and pesticide handlers' occupational exposures to pesticides used in the 
production of agricultural plants on agricultural establishments as 
defined in Sec. 170.3 of this chapter. These statements refer to 
specific workplace practices designed to reduce or eliminate exposure 
and to respond to emergencies that may arise from the exposures that may 
occur.
    (2) This subpart prescribes interim requirements that must be placed 
on the pesticide label and in pesticide labeling. These interim 
requirements pertain to restricted-entry intervals, personal protective 
equipment, and notification. On a case-by-case basis, these interim 
requirements will be reviewed and may be revised during reregistration 
or other agency review processes.
    (b) Applicability. (1) The requirements of this subpart apply to 
each pesticide product that bears directions for use in the production 
of any agricultural plant on any agricultural establishment as defined 
in Sec. 170.3 of this chapter, or whose labeling reasonably permits such 
use.
    (2) The requirements of this subpart do not apply to a product that 
bears directions solely for uses excepted by Sec. 170.202(b) of this 
chapter.
    (c) Effective dates. (1) The effective date of this subpart is 
October 20, 1992.
    (2) No pesticide product bearing labeling amended and revised as 
required by this subpart shall be distributed or sold by a registrant 
prior to April 21, 1993.
    (3) No product to which this subpart applies shall be distributed or 
sold without amended labeling by any registrant after April 21, 1994.
    (4) No product to which this subpart applies shall be distributed or 
sold without amended labeling by any person after October 23, 1995.
