EPA Reissues Final Rule on Labeling of Pesticides for Export

The Environmental Protection Agency is reissuing a final rule on labeling of pesticide products for export (here). Under the new regulations, pesticide products and devices intended solely for export will be able to meet EPA export labeling requirements by attaching a label to the immediate product container or by providing collateral labeling that is either attached to the immediate product being exported or that accompanies the shipping container of the product being exported at all times when it is shipped or held for shipment in the United States. EPA in July retracted an identical direct final rule after receiving comments in opposition to the new regulations (see 14071019), and issued a proposed rule at the same time to gather more input. EPA made no changes from its proposed rule.
