Key Points

• The four main parts of the agricultural use requirements box include: required statements, agricultural use requirements referral statement for supplemental labeling, agricultural use requirements statements, and statements for products with both WPS and non-WPS uses.
• To determine REIs, refer to the regulatory assessment document, Supplement Three-A of PR Notice 93-7, or Chapter 10 of the Label Review Manual.
