Dear Rebecca Baumler Willis:

The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable. However, EPA reviewed only the label changes highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated on the submitted label. Any other changes to the previously approved label that were not clearly highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated in your submission were not reviewed and may form the basis of regulatory and/or enforcement action if later discovered by the Agency. Further, submission of a label amendment application with unidentified changes may be considered a knowing submission of false information to the Agency. 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.

The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions Reviewed” and 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 C.F.R. § 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 C.F.R. § 152.3.

Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the companys 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 contains any false or misleading statement, design, or graphic, the product may be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA Sections 2(q)(1)(A) and 12(a)(1)(E). 40 C.F.R. § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on the product label, claims made as part of the products sale or distribution may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration process under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(B). 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 product will be referred to the EPAs Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.

Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6.

Emerged grass weeds up to 3 inches tall will cease growing but may remain green for weeks after application . Regrowth of grass weeds is limited when corn canopies over row middles . Mode of Action Status is absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots and is translocated to the growing points of sensitive weeds to provide postemergence control of emerged weeds and moderate residual control of germinating weeds . Status controls weeds by auxin-transport inhibition and auxin- agonist modes of action . Treated weeds will stop growing soon after application . Broadleaf weeds will display epinastic twisting and crin - kling symptoms before becoming necrotic . Suppressed grass weeds may display some epinasty and remain stunt - ed and green . Weed Resistance Management While weed resistance to herbicides is infrequent, popula - tions of resistant biotypes are known to exist . Resistance

6 management should be part of a diversified weed control strategy that integrates multiple options including chemi- cal, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics . Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertiliz- er placement, optimum seeding rate/row spacing, and timely tillage . To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, follow these steps where practical: • Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi - cide program . • DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed control during the growing season . • Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present . • Apply full labeled rates of Status® herbicide for the most difficult-to-control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes . • Use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residu - al control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended to reduce early season weed competition and allow for more timely in-crop postemergence herbicide applications . • Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of action more than twice a season . • Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in weed species . • Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your BASF retailer, representative . • If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a herbicide having a different mode of action and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as is practi - cal, with the goal of preventing further seed production . • For more information about weeds that are known to be resistant to dicamba go to www.Resistance- Information.BASF.US . Additionally, follow as many of these herbicide resistance management practices as is practical: • Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other modes of action as a foundation in a weed control program . • Utilize sequential applications of effective herbicides with alternative modes of action . • Rotate the use of this product with herbicides having a different mode of action . • Avoid making more than two applications of Status and any other Group 4 or Group 19 herbicides within a single growing season unless mixed with another site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to- control weeds . • Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or extension agent for find out if suspected resistant weeds to these sites of action have been found in your region . DO NOT assume that each listed weed is being con- trolled by multiple mechanisms of action . Co-formulated active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weed control . Some weeds may be controlled by only one of the active ingredients in this product . • Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program . • Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before and after leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds . • Manage weeds in and around fields during and after har - vest to reduce weed seed production . • Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further guidance on weed control practices as needed . Crop Tolerance Corn is very tolerant to an application of Status . Corn growing under stress conditions, such as drought, poor fertility, or foliar damage because of hail, wind, or insects, can show various injury symptoms that may be more pronounced if Status is applied . Injury can be avoided by agronomic practices that promote good crop growth and minimize stress conditions, especially combinations of stress factors . Coverage Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray . Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate spray coverage . Cultivation Avoid disturbing (e .g . tillage or cultivating) treated areas for at least 7 days following application to allow best herbicide uptake, translocation, and weed control . Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturers directions . Triple rinse the equipment before and after applying this product . Application Instructions Best product performance is obtained when Status is applied to actively growing weeds . Treated weeds will stop growing soon after application . Broadleaf weeds will dis- play epinastic twisting and crinkling symptoms before becoming necrotic . Suppressed grass weeds may display some epinasty and remain stunted and green . Ground Application Methods and Equipment Status, a wettable granule formulation, can be applied using water as the spray carrier . Water Volume. Select an appropriate spray volume that ensures adequate coverage of the target weed species . Use higher water volumes when treating dense or tall veg - etation . DO NOT apply less than 3 gallons of spray volume per acre .

7 Application Equipment. Use application equipment that will provide good spray coverage of weed foliage . Exercise preventive measures to avoid drift onto nontarget areas . SPRAY DRIFT Aerial Applications: • Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572 .1) . • Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field . • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site . If the wind speed is greater than 10 miles per hour, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters . Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters . • DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater applica- tion height is necessary for pilot safety . • Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field . DO NOT apply during temperature inversions . Ground Boom Applications: • User must only apply with the release height recom - mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the products applied in ground or crop canopy . • Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572 .1) . • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site . • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions . Boom-less Ground Applications: • Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572 .1) . • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site . • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions . Spray Drift Advisories THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. Importance of Droplet Size An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets . Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control . While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions . Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom • Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift . Use the highest practical spray volume for the application . If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate . • Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommend- ed for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size . • Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application . Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift . Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft • Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recom- mendations for setting up nozzles . Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight . Boom Height Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce . Boom-less Ground Applications Setting the release height at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift . Release Height Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift . Shielded Sprayers Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift . Consider using shielded sprayers . Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area . Temperature and Humidity When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation . Temperature Inversions Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion . Tem- perature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind . The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator . Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing . Avoid applica- tions during temperature inversions . Wind Drift potential generally increases with wind speed . AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.

8 Spray Additives Adjuvants must be used with Status® herbicide for con- sistent weed control . For best results under most conditions, combine an adju - vant with a nitrogen source . Rainfast Period - Status is rainfast 4 hours after appli- cations when used with recommended adjuvants . Adjuvant • Crop oil concentrate (COC) 1 to 2 pints/A • Methylated seed oil (MSO) 1 to 2 pints/A • Nonionic surfactant (NIS) 0 .25% volume/volume (v/v) or 1 quart/100 gallons Nitrogen Source • Ammonium sulfate (AMS) (21% nitrogen) 5 pounds to 17 pounds/100 gallons spray mix Before adding AMS, dissolve Status in the spray tank . Use high-quality AMS (spray grade) to avoid plugging nozzles . • Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) (28% to 34% nitrogen) Use at least 5 quarts/100 gallons (1 .25% v/v) Because most nitrogen solutions are mildly corrosive to galvanized steel, mild steel, and brass spray equipment, rinse the entire spray system with water soon after use . Compatibility Test for Tank Mix Components 1 . Before mixing components, always perform a compati - bility jar test . Begin with a quart-sized jar . Add components in the same order as listed in Tank Mixing Order section . Start with 3 .5 cups of water from the intended source at the source temperature . For each dry product, add 2 teaspoons per pound of product per acre . For each liquid product, add 1 teaspoon per pint of product per acre . 2 . Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between com- ponent additions . 3 . When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes . 4 . Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability . The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface; fine particles that precipitate to the bottom; or thick (clabbered) texture . DO NOT use any spray solution that could clog spray nozzles . Tank Mixing Order 1 . Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank 1/2 full of clean water .* 2 . Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank . Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing . 3 . Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions) 4 . Water-soluble products (such as Status) - Status must be fully dissolved before adding other components . 5 . Emulsifiable concentrates (including COC and MSO) . 6 .

Field Corn Tank Mixes and Sequential Uses In addition to control of many broadleaf weed species, Status offers herbistatic suppression of several annual grass weeds that may enhance overall control of your grass herbicide program . For commercial control of grass weeds, use Status as a sequential post em ergence treatment following a preemergence grass h erbicide or in tank mix combination with a p ostemergence grass herbicide . Tank Mix Recommendations Status may be applied sequentially or in tank mixes with other herbicides registered for use in corn with the follow - ing limitations: • P ostemergence applications of Status are not recomm- ended for use in tank mixes with plant growth regulating herbicides such as products containing dicamba, 2,4-D, or clopyralid herbicides . A dditionally, sequential treat- ments with these products should be separated by at least 15 days . Status may be used sequentially with all soil-applied insecticides or used sequentially or in tank mixes with foliar-applied insecticides with the following limitations: Status is not recommended for use in foliar-applied tank mixes with Lorsban® insecticide . However, sequential treatments with these products may be used if applica - tions are separated by at least 7 days . Table 3.
