Sec. 156.206  General statements.

    (a) Application restrictions. Each product shall bear the statement: 
``Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other 
persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may 
be in the area during application.'' This statement shall be near the 
beginning of the DIRECTIONS FOR USE section of the labeling under the 
heading AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS.
    (b) 40 CFR part 170 reference statement. (1) Each product shall bear 
the reference statement: ``Use this product only in accordance with its 
labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170.'' 
This statement shall be placed on the product label under the heading 
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS.
    (2) Each product shall bear the statement: ``This standard contains 
requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, 
forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural 
pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, 
notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific 
instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label 
[in this labeling] about [use any of the following that are applicable] 
personal protective equipment, restricted-entry interval, and 
notification to workers.'' These statements shall be placed immediately 
following the reference statement required by paragraph (b)(1) of this 
section, or they shall be placed in the supplemental product labeling 
under the heading AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS.
    (3) If the statements in paragraph (b)(2) of this section are 
included in supplemental labeling rather than on the label of the 
pesticide container, the container label must contain this statement 
immediately following the statement required in paragraph (b)(1) of this 
section: ``Refer to supplemental labeling entitled AGRICULTURAL USE 
REQUIREMENTS in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE section of the labeling for 
information about this standard.''

    (4) If the statements in paragraph (b)(2) of this section are 
included in supplemental labeling, they must be preceded immediately by 
the statement in paragraph (b)(1) of this section under the heading 
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS in the labeling.
    (c) Product-type identification. (1) If the product contains an 
organophosphate (i.e., an organophosphorus ester that inhibits 
cholinesterase) or an N-methyl carbamate (i.e., an N-methyl carbamic 
acid ester that inhibits cholinesterase), the label shall so state. The 
statement shall be associated with the product name or product-type 
identification or shall be in the STATEMENT OF PRACTICAL TREATMENT or 
FIRST AID section of the label.
    (2) If the product is a fumigant, the label shall so state. The 
identification shall appear:
    (i) As part of the product name; or
    (ii) Close to the product name, as part of the product-type 
identification or as a separate phrase or sentence.
    (d) State restrictions. Each product shall bear the statement: ``For 
any requirements specific to your State, consult the agency in your 
State responsible for pesticide regulation.'' This statement shall be 
under the heading AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS in the labeling.
    (e) Spanish warning statements. If the product is classified as 
toxicity category I or toxicity category II according to the criteria in 
Sec. 156.10(h)(1), the signal word shall appear in Spanish in addition 
to English followed by the statement, ``Si Usted no entiende la 
etiqueta, busque a alguien para que se la explique a Usted en detalle. 
(If you do not understand the label, find some one to explain it to you 
in detail.)'' The Spanish signal word ``PELIGRO'' shall be used for 
products in toxicity category I, and the Spanish signal word ``AVISO'' 
shall be used for products in toxicity category II. These statements 
shall appear on the label close to the English signal word.
