acceptable, provided that you: 
Submit one copy of your final printed label incorporating 
the following corrections before you release the product for 
shipment. 
1. Add the following aquatic use restriction to the mosquito 
larvae control directions. As described in the 1988 Malathion 
Reregistration Standard, footnote numbers 164 and 165 of the 
Residue Chemistry Generic Data Requirement Table (page 114), 
these restrictions are being required in lieu of conducting 
residue chemistry studies under 171-4 (Magnitude of the Residue 
in Fish and Shellfish and Magnitude of the Residue in Drinking 
and Irrigation Water) . 
"Broadcast use only over intermittently flooded areas. 
Application may not be made around bodies of water where fish or 
shellfish are grown and/or harvested commercially." 
2. Add a statement prohibiting the grazing or feeding of the 
treated crop foliage by livestock for the crops, beans, and peas 
(vines/forage and straw/hay) . 
3. Correct the "If swallowed:" statement of practical 
treatment to read as follows so that it reflects the aspiration 
hazard associated with the product. .' 
"If swallowed: Drink promptly a large quantity of milk, egg 
whites, or gelatin solution, or, if these are not available, 
~ Printed on Recycled Paper

) 
large quantities of water. Avoid alcohol. Do not induce vomiting 
as it may cause aspiration pneumonia." 
4. Delete the restriction, "Do not use treated seed for 
food, feed, or oil purposes." The seed treatment uses have been 
deleted from the label. 
5. Clarify the use sites covered by the indoor use 
precautionary statements appearing in the human precautionary 
statements by specifying that the only indoor use on the 
submitted label is for the listed empty grain storage facilities. 
Malathion is not being supported for general indoor use. 
6. Under the directions for fly contrel, specify outdoor use 
only and delete the use on stanchions. 
7. Verify that the chemigation supple~ental labeling 
referenced on the submitted labeling is the same chemigation 
supplemental labeling accepted for ~e proi~ct on March 28, 1989. 
If this condition is not complied , . .,it::, the registration 
will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA sec. 
6(e). Your release for shipment of the product bearing the 
amended label constitutes acceptance of this condition. 
A stamped copy of the label is enclosed for your records.
