    (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.
