    (a) Requirement. Each product is required to bear hazard and 

precautionary statements for environmental hazards, including hazards to 

non-target organisms, as prescribed in this subpart. Hazard statements 

describe the type of hazard that may be present, while precautionary 

statements direct or inform the user of actions to take to avoid the 

hazard or mitigate its effects.

    (b) Location of statements. Environmental hazard and precautionary 

statements may appear on any panel of the label and may be required also 

in supplemental labeling. The environmental hazard statements must 

appear together under the heading ``Environmental Hazards.'' Typically 

the statements are grouped as a sub-category within the ``Precautionary 

Statements'' section of the labeling.

    (c) Type size. All environmental hazard and precautionary statements 

must be at least 6 point type.
