                 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 Sec. Sec. 156.206, 

156.208, 156.210, or 156.212 must submit an application for amended 

registration unless specifically directed otherwise by the Agency.
