+ocr -4 2)ID 
+Your Submission Dated June 14,2010 (Submitted as Notification and Converted 
+to Amendment by EPA on July 6, 2010) 
+Dear Ms. Chan: 
+The labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the 
+Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable, 
+provided you make the following changes: 
+1. Revise the PPE to clarify that chemical-resistant gloves are required for all handlers of the 
+product. As currently written, users might think gloves are only required for exposures to 
+the concentrated product. The revised PPE statement should read as follows: 
+"All mixers, loaders, applicators, naggers, and other handlers must wear: Long­
+sleeved shirt and long pants, shoes plus socks, and chemical-resistant gloves. A 
+chemical-resistant apron is also required when mixing or loading, cleaning up spills or 
+equipment, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate." 
+2. In the second column on page 2 (4th paragraph), revise the sentence "Product should not 
+be used in greenhouses" to read "Do not use this product in greenhouses." 
+3. On page 4, under Established Pastures and Rangelands, delete the statement "Do not cut 
+grass for hay for 30 days after treatment." This statement conflicts with restriction #5 for 
+pastures and rangelands at the top of page 5 ("Do not cut forage for hay within 7 days of 
+application."). The 7-day PHI is consistent with the requirements of the 2,4-D RED. 
+4. On page 5, in the directions for use on Non-Cropland, reduce the maximum rate from 4 
+pints per acre to 2.6 pints per acre. The 4 pints per acre rate (3 lbs. a.e.! A) exceeds the 
+7
+
+(' 
+'-. 
+Page 2 of2 
+EPA Reg. No. 19713-337 
+maximum use rate allowed by the 2,4-D RED. Note: The maximum rate is correctly 
+specified as 2.6 pints/A in the Use Restrictions and Precautions for Non-Cropland. 
+5. On page 4, in the first column, in the statement which begins "Compatible crop oil 
+concentrates, agricultural surfactants, ... ", change "effective" to "effectiveness" or . 
+, "efficacy", so that the sentence reads "Compatible crop oil concentrates, ... may increase 
+the herbicidal efficacy (or effectiveness) of2,4-D on certain weeds and may be added to 
+the spray tank." 
+6. Correct application rate statements throughout the label which don't indicate the area 
+covered by the specified amount of product. The incomplete rate statements include the 
+following: 
+• The rates for soybeans, currently given as "0.5 to 0.6 pint ... " or "0.6 to 1.3 pints ... " 
+(depending on the days before planting) should be revised to read "0.5 to 0.6 pint per 
+acre ... " and "0.6 to 1.3 pints per acre ... " 
+• The rates for grass seed crops: "Apply 0.6 to 2.6 pints of this product ... " should read 
+"Apply 0.6 to 2.6 pints of this product per acre ... ". "After the grass is well established, 
+higher rates of up to 2.6 pints can be used ... " should read "After the grass is well 
+established, higher rates of up to 2.6 pints per acre can be used ... " 
+• Restriction #1 in the directions for use on non-cropland: Revise the second sentence to 
+read "Do not apply more than 2lbs. ae (2.6 pints of this product) per acre per application. 
+A stamped copy of your label is enclosed for your records. This label supersedes all 
+previously accepted labels for the subject product. You must submit one (1) copy of the fmal 
+printed label before you release the product for shipment. Products shipped after eighteen (18) 
+months from the date of this letter or the next printing of the label, whichever occurs first, must 
+bear the new, revised label. If these conditions are not complied with, the registration will be 
+subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA §6(e). Your release for shipment of the 
+product constitutes acceptance of these conditions.

+ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
+. This pesticide may be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not 
+apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to 
+intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may 
+be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. 
+Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters 
+or rinsate. 
+This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with 
+chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas 
+where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shal­
+low, may result in groundwater contamination. Application around a 
+cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or ground­
+water. 
+USe of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon and Wash­
+ington is subject to the January 22, 2004 Order for injunctive relief in 
+Washington Toxies Coalition, et. al. v. EPA, C01-0132C,(W.D. WA). Forfur­
+ther information, please refer to EPA Web Site: http://www.epa.gov/espp. 
+GROUND CONTAMINATION 
+Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbi­
+cides such as 2,4-0 have been aS,sociated with mixing/loading and 
+disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-0 pes­
+ticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. 
+Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will re­
+duce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading eqUip­
+ment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent 
+groundwater contamination. 
+DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
+It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner incon­
+sistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product through any type of 
+irrigation system. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, 
+consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Do not apply 
+this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, ei­
+ther directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the 
+area during application. 
+AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
+Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the 
+. Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard con­
+tains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on 
+farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural 
+pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, 
+notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific in­
+structions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label 
+about person protective equipment (PPE), and restricted entry in­
+terval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this prod­
+uct that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. 
+Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the re­
+stricted entry interval (REI) of 12 ho.urs. 
+PPE required for early entty to treated areas that is permitted under 
+the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with any­
+thing that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water is: Cover­
+alls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, and 
+shoes plus socks. 
+NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
+The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are 
+NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agri­
+cultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this 
+product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, 
+nurseries or greenhouses. For use on residential and other turf (ex­
+cluding sod farms), do not allow people (other than applicator) or 
+pets on treatment area during application. Do not allow people or 
+pets to enter treated area until sprays have dried. 
+USE INFORMATION 
+Performance of this product may be affected by local conditions, crop 
+varieties and application method. User should consult local extension 
+service. agricultural experiment or university weed specialists and 
+state regulatory agencies for recommendations in your area. 
+Best results are obtained when product is applied to young succulent 
+weeds that are actively growing. Application rates lower than labeled 
+rates will be satisfactory on susceptible annual weeds. For perennial 
+weeds and conditions such as the very dry areas of the Western 
+states, where control is difficult, the higher labeled rates should be 
+used. When product is used for weed control in crops, the growth 
+stage of the crop must be considered. 
+Some plants and weedsC~eCiallY woody varieties, are difficult to 
+control and may require repeat applications. Application rates should 
+be 1 to 5 gallons of total spray by air or 5 to 25 gallons by ground 
+equipment unless otherwise directed. In either case, use the same 
+amount of 2,4-0 directed per acre. 
+Aerial application should be used only when there is no danger of drift 
+to susceptible crops. Many states have regulations conceming aerial 
+application of 2,4-0 formulations. Consult local regulatory authorities 
+before making applications. Although this product is a low volatile for­
+mUlation, at 
+temperatures above 95°F vapor may damage susceptible crops grow­
+ing nearby. Refer to "Spray Drift Management" section on this label. 
+Because coarse sprays are less likely to drift than fine, do not use 
+equipment (such as hollow cone small orifice nozzles) or conditions 
+(such as high pressure) that produce such sprays. 
+Product should not be allowed to come into contact with desirable sus­
+ceptible plants such as beans, cotton, fruit trees, grapes, legumes, or­
+namentals, peas, tomatoes and other vegetables. Product should not 
+be used in greenhouses. Excessive amounts ofthis product in the soil 
+may temporarily inhibit seed germination and all plant growth. '. 
+Users should note that herbicide treatment of public water require a 
+permit from appropriate state agencies in most states. Your State Con­
+servation Department or Game and Fish Commission will aid you se­
+curing a permit in your state. 
+If stored below freezing, it may be necessary to warm product to 40'F and 
+agitate before using. This does not affect the efficiency of the product. 
+Spray equipment used to apply 2,4-0 should not be used for any other 
+purpose until thoroughly cleaned with a suitable chemical cleaner. 
+SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
+A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, 
+wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of application 
+(e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. 
+The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjust­
+ments when applying this product. 
+Droplet Size: 
+When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 as the sole active ingredi­
+ent, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with active in­
+gredients that require a Coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a 
+Coarse or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean di­
+ameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atmozier nozzles. 
+When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with other active in­
+gredients that require a Medium or more fine spray, apply only as a 
+Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean di­
+ameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. 
+Wind Speed: 
+Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this 
+product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition and there are 
+not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bod­
+ies of water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) 
+within 250 feet downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath 
+unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field. 
+Temperature Inversions: 
+If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must de­
+termine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable at­
+mospheriC conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make 
+applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric 
+conditions. 
+Susceptible Plants: 
+Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, 
+forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof ren­
+dered unfit for sale, use, or consumption. Susceptible crops include, 
+but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), 
+fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), orn9ri,e(l~al~ sun­
+flowers, tomatoes, beans, and other \(en(ltqhlf,s, or toha-.:co. '3m all

+re,quirement does not apply to forestry or rights-of-way applications. 
+When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be dis­
+placed downwind. The applicator must compensate for this by adjust­
+ing the path of the aircraft upwind. 
+Additional requirements for ground boom application: 
+Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop 
+canopy. 
+Additional requirements for this product: 
+2,4-0 esters may volatize during conditions of low humidity and high 
+temperatures. Do not apply during conditions of low humidity and high 
+temperatures. 
+MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
+Spray Preparation: Add the directed amount of product to approxi­
+mately one-half the volume of water to be used for spraying. Agitate 
+. well, then add the remainder of the water. Continue agitation during ap­
+plication until spray tank is empty. 
+Tank Mixture with Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer: This product may be 
+combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for foliar application on 
+corn, grass, pastures or small grains in one operation. Use this prod­
+uct according to directions on this label for those crops. Use liquid fer­
+tilizer at rates recommended by supplier or extension service 
+specialist. 
+Mix this product and fertilizer according to the following instructions: Fill 
+the spray tank approximately one-half full with the liquid fertilizer. Add 
+this product while agitating the tank. Add the remainder of the liquid fer­
+tilizer while continuing to agitate. Apply immediately maintaining agi­
+tation during application until tank is empty. DO NOT APPLY DURING 
+COLD (NEAR FREEZING) WEATHER. Spray mixture must be used 
+immediately and may not be stored. 
+WEEDS CONTROLLED 
+This product is used to control broad leaved weeds in cereal crops, 
+corn, sorghum, weeds and brush in rangeland, pastures, rights-of-way, 
+similar non-crop uses. This product will kill or control the following in 
+addition to many other noxious plants susceptible to 2,4-0: 
+A1lig;;ltorweed Duckweed Povertyweed 
+Arrow head Elderberry Puncturevine 
+Artichoke Goldenrod Purslane 
+Bindweed (hedge, field, Ground ivy Rush 
+and European) Hemp Russian thistle 
+Bitter wintercress Hoary cress Sagebrush 
+Boxelder Honeysuckle Shephardspurse 
+Buckhorn Indigo Smartweed 
+Bull thistle Ironweed Sowthistle

+Cocklebur Parrotfeather Wild garlic 
+Coffeebean Pennywort Wild lettuce 
+Creeping jenny Pigweed' Wild onion 
+Curly indigo Plaintain Wild radish 
+Dandelion Poison Ivy Willow 
+Dock Pokeweed 
+• The control of "hybrid" Pigweeds appears to be less satisfactory from 2,4-
+o products than formerly experienced on "non-hybrid" varieties. Since 2,4-0 
+herbicides are not as effective on the "hybrid" Pigweeds, it is necessary to 
+apply higher rates of 2,4-0 for control, especially later in the growing 
+season. Higher rates injure some crops, so less than satisfactory Pigweed 
+control may be experienced by the highest tolerated crop dosage. 
+CROPS 
+SMALL GRAINS NOT UNDERSEEDED WITH LEGUMES 
+(barley, oats, wheat, rye): 
+See the following table for use rates. Spray when weeds are small 
+after grain begins tillering but before boot stage (usually 4 to 8 inches 
+tall). To control larger weeds that will interfere with harvest or to sup­
+press perennial weeds, preharvest treatment can be applied when the 
+grain is in the dough stage. Be'st results will be obtained when soil 
+moisture is adequate for plant growth and weeds are growing well. 
+Use Restrictions and Precautions: 
+1. Do not apply before the tiller stage nor from early boot through milk 
+-------------------------
+stage. (. 
+2. Limit to one postemerg,--._~ application per crop cycle. Do not apply 
+more than 1.25 Ibs. ae (1.6 pints of this product) per acre per ap­
+plication. 
+3. Limit to one preharvest application per crop cycle. Do not apply 
+more than 0.51b ae (0.6 pints of this product) per acre per applica­
+tion. 
+4. Limit to 1.75 Ibs. ae (2.3 pints of this product) per acre per crop 
+cycle. 
+5. The preharvest interval (PHI) is 14 days. 
+Spring Planted Oats: Use 0.3 pint per acre in sufficient water to give 
+good coverage. Apply after the fully tiIIered stage, except during the 
+boot to dough stage. 
+Fall Planted Oats: Apply 0.2 to 1.8 pints per acre after full tillering but 
+before early boot stage. Some difficult weeds may require higher rates 
+of 0.5 to 0.8 pints per acre for maximum control, but crop injury may 
+result. Do not spray during or immediately following cold weather . 
+Note: Oats are less tolerant to 2,4-0 than wheat or barley and more 
+likely to be injured. Do not forage or graze treated grain fields within 2 
+weeks after treatment with 2,4-0. Do not feed treated straw to live­
+stock. 
+CORN (Field, Pop, Sweet): 
+See the following table for use rates. 
+Use Restrictions and Precautions: 
+1. Limit to one preplant or pre emergence application per crop cycle. 
+Do not apply more than 1 lb. ae (1.3 pints of this product) per acre 
+per application. 
+2. Limit to one postemergence application per crop cycle. Do not apply 
+more than 0.5 lb. ae (0.6 pint of this product) per acre per applica­
+tion. 
+3. For Field and Pop corn, limit to one preharvest application per crop 
+cycle. Do not apply more than 1.5 Ibs. ae (2 pints of this product) per 
+acre per application. Do not apply more than 3lbs. ae (4 pints of this 
+product) per acre per crop cycle. 
+4. For Sweet corn, do not apply more than 1.5 Ibs. ae (2 pints of this 
+product) per acre per crop cycle. Do not apply less than 21 days 
+between applications. 
+5. The preharvest interval (PHI) is 7 days for Field and Pop corn. For 
+Sweet corn, the PHI is 45 days. 
+6. Do not use treated crop as fodder for 7 days following application. 
+Preemergence: Apply this product from 3 to 5 days after planting but 
+before corn emerges. Do not use on very light, sandy soils. Use the 
+higher rates on heavy soils. Plant corn as deep as practical. 
+Postemergence: Best results are usually obtained when weeds are 
+small and corn is 4 to 18 inches tall. When corn is over 8 inches tall, 
+use drop nozzles. Do not apply from tasseling to dough stage. If corn 
+is growing rapidly and temperature and soil moisture content is high, 
+use 0.33 pint per acre rate to reduce possibility of crop damage. Delay 
+CUltivation for 8 to 10 days to prevent stalk breakage due to temporary 
+brittleness caused by 2,4-0. Application rates of up to 0.66 pint per 
+acre may be used to control some hard to kill weeds. However, the 
+possibility of injury to corn is increased. 
+If corn is over 8 inches tall, use drop nozzles to keep spray off corn fo­
+liage as much as possible. Do not use with oil, atrazine, or other ad­
+juvants. Since the tolerance to 2,4-0 of individual hybrids varies, 
+consult your Local Extension Service or Agricultural Experiment Sta­
+tion or University Weed Specialist for information. 
+Preharvest: After the hard dough or denting stage, apply 0.66 to 1.25 
+pints per acre of this product by air or ground equipment to suppress 
+perennial weeds, decrease weed seed production and control tall 
+weeds such as bindweed, cocklebur, dogbane, jimsonweed, ragweed, 
+sunflower, velvetleaf and vines that interfere with haf\!'3M~ng. Do not 
+forage or feed corn fodder to livestock for 7 days foll0winy ai'plication.

+adequate coverage of weeds. Use 2 or more gallons of water per acre 
+in aerial equipment and 10 or more gallons of water per acre in ground 
+equipment. After applying, plant Soybean seed as deep as practical or 
+at least 1.5 to 2 inches deep. Adjust the planter press wheel, if nec­
+essary, to ensure that planted seed is completely covered. If desired, 
+this product may be applied preplant to Soybeans in tank mixtures with 
+other herbicides that are registered for preplant Soybean use. 
+Compatible crop oil concentrates, agricultural surfactants, and fluid 
+fertilizers approved for use on growing crops may increase the herbi­
+cidal effective of 2,4-0 on certain weeds and may be added to the 
+spray tank. Read and follow all directions and precautions on this label 
+and on all labels of adjuvants or fertilizers mixed with this product. 
+Note: Unacceptable injury to Soybeans planted in treated fields may 
+occur. Whether or not Soybean injury occurs and the extent of the in­
+jury will depend on weather (temperature and rainfall) from herbicide 
+application until soybean emergence and agronomic factors such as 
+the amount of weed vegetation and previous crop residue present. In­
+jury is more likely under cool, rainy conditions and where there is less 
+weed vegetation and crop residue present. 
+Use Restrictions and Precautions: Do not apply this product prior to 
+planting Soybeans if you r' '.ot prepared to accept the results of Soy- .k.. 
+bean injury, including pos>.._.e loss of stand and yield. Do not use on 7 
+low organic sqndy soils (less than 1.0%). Do not apply this product 
+when weather conditions such as temperature, air inversions or wind 
+favor drift from treated areas to susceptible plants. Do not mow or CUl-
+tivate weeds prior to treating with this product as poor control may re-
+sult. Do not use any tillage operations between application and 
+planting. Do not feed treated hay, forage or fodder. Restrict livestock 
+from grazing treated. fields. Do not feed or graze treated cover crops 
+to livestock. Only two split applications or only one application may be
