                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 156--LABELING REQUIREMENTS FOR PESTICIDES AND DEVICES--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart K--Worker Protection Statements
 
Sec. 156.204  Modification and waiver of requirements.

    (a) Modification on Special Review. If the Agency concludes in 
accordance with Sec. 154.25(c) of this chapter that a pesticide should 
be placed in Special Review because the pesticide meets or exceeds the 
criteria for human health effects of Sec. 154.7(a)(1)(2) or (6) of this 
chapter, the Agency may modify the personal protective equipment 
required for handlers or early-entry workers or both, the restricted-
entry intervals, or the notification to workers requirements.
    (b) Other modifications. The Agency, pursuant to this subpart and 
authorities granted in FIFRA sections 3, 6, and 12, may, on its 
initiative or based on data submitted by any person, modify or waive the 
requirements of this subpart, or permit or require alternative labeling 
statements. Supporting data may be either data required by Subdivisions 
U or K of the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines or data from medical, 
epidemiological, or health effects studies. The Pesticide Assessment 
Guidelines contain the standards for conducting acceptable tests, 
guidance on evaluation and reporting of data, definition of terms, 
further guidance on when data are required, and examples of acceptable 
protocols. They are available through the National Technical Information 
Service, 5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161. A registrant who 
wishes to modify any of the statements required in Secs. 156.206, 
156.208, 156.210, or 156.212 must submit an application for amended 
registration unless specifically directed otherwise by the Agency.
