Pesticides; Final Guidance for Pesticide Registrants on Disposal Instructions for Non-Antimicrobial, Residential/Household Use Pesticide Product Labels

Resumen

The Agency is announcing the availability of a Pesticide Registration Notice (PR-Notice) entitled "Disposal Instructions on Non- Antimicrobial, Residential/Household Use Pesticide Product Labels." This PR-Notice was issued by the Agency on September 7, 2001, and is identified as PR-Notice 2001-6. A draft for comment of this notice was published in the Federal Register of June 14, 2000 (65 FR 37383) (FRL-6553-4), with a 60-day comment period. PR-Notices are issued by the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) to inform pesticide registrants and other interested persons about important policies, procedures and registration-related decisions, and serve to provide guidance to pesticide registrants and OPP personnel. This particular PR-Notice provides guidance to the registrant concerning disposal instructions for both empty and partly filled containers of non- antimicrobial, residential/household use pesticide product labels. The revised instructions should decrease the number of accidental exposures to sanitation workers and to the environment and allow state/local governments greater latitude in carrying out their responsibilities for product disposal and waste management programs.
