Subject: Label Amendment – Update rates, corr ect grammatical errors and other label edits
Product Name: HM-0339
EPA Registration Number: 5905-565
Application Date: June 12, 2023
Case Number: 475623
Dear Bill Washburn:
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable. This approval does not 
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be subject to 
existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously 
accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you release the 
product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR 152.130(c), you may distribute 
or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this 
letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling 
or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its 
implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3. 
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be 
aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the Agency. If the 
website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute 
under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may consider 
false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, 
claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the 
registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a 
website contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA 
approved registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.

EPA Reg. No. 5905-565
Case No. 475623

conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with 
FIFRA section 6. 
If you have any questions, please contact Endia Blunt at 202-566-2505 or at blunt.endia@epa.gov.
