1. On page 2, add the title "User Safety Requirements," above "Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning ........ " In addition, add the word "exists," after "washables."
2. On page 3, place the "Storage and Disposal" section inside a text box.
3. On page 4, second column, under "DO NOT" delete the last sentence "Use with an EPA approved dye that imparts an unnatural color to the seed." The seed should already be dyed prior to bagging, and is therefore unnecessary. . A copy of the label stamped "Accepted with Comments" is enclosed for your records. Please submit one copy of the final printed label incorporating these changes before the product is released for shipping.

If these wastes cannot be disposed of according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. CONTAINER DISPOSAL Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recy­ cling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or punc­ ture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities. Triple rinse containers small enough to shake (capacity S; 50 pounds) as follows: Empty the remain­ ing contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Triple rinse containers too large to shake (capacity

50 pounds) as follows: Empty the remaining con­ tents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten clo­ sures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 sec­ onds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining con­ tents into application equipment or mix tank. Hold con­ tainer upside down over application equipment or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. In Case of Spill In case of large-scale spillage regarding this product, call: CHEMTREC 1-800-424-9300 BASF Corporation 1-800-832-HELP (4357) 3 Steps to be taken in case this material is released or spilled: Dike and contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer liquid and solid diking material to separate containers for disposal. Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin areas with water. Wash clothing before reuse. Keep spill out of all sewers and open bodies of water. General Information This package contains BAS 516 ST seed treatment fungicide, a water-dispersible granule (WG). BAS 516 ST is a broad-spectrum fungicide that provides preventive seed and seedling protection against seed borne fungi causing seed decay and the soilborne pathogens Rhizoctonia so/ani, Penicillium spp. and Fusarium spp. BAS 516 ST may be applied in conjunction with applica­ tions of other registered seed treatment and crop protec­ tion products. Make all applications according to the use directions in this label. Use the higher rates of BAS 516 STwhen disease pressure is expected to be high. Resistance Management The active ingredients in BAS 516 ST, boscalid and pyrac!ostrobin, belong to the groups of respiration inhibitors classified by the EPA as Carboxamides and Quinone Outside Inhibitors (001) or Target Site of Action Group 7 and Target Site of Action Group 11 fungicides, respectively. Due to the minimal amounts of active ingredient in BAS 516 ST applied to the seed that relocate to the upper parts of the plant, the potential for development of resistance to both fungicides is extremely low. Seed treatments of BAS 516 ST can, therefore, be followed by foliar use and resistance management guidelines of foliar use fungicides containing boscalid, pyraclostrobin, or both (Cabrio~ EG fungicide, Endura~ fungicide, Headline~ fungicide, or Pristine~ fungicide) as specified on the respective labels. Application Instructions For use on "crop" seed at commercial treatmAnt far;ilities. Not for use on farm.

Seed must be sound and well cleaned prior t6 treatment. The purchaser of BAS 516 ST seed treatment fungicide is responsible for ensuring that all seed treated with this product are adequately dyed with a suitable color to pre­ vent its accidental use as food for man or feed for animals. Refer to 21 CFR, Part 2.25 and 40CFR 153.155(b)(1). Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatur­ al color to the seed. Any dye or colorant added to treated seed must be cleared for use under 40CFR, Part 180.900, . "Exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance". Federal regulations have established official tolerances or exemptions from tolerances for residues on food and for­ age crops that should not be exceeded when the product (dye or colorant) is used at labeled rates. Consult the seed treatment specialist for calibration and operation procedures of the seed treatment equipment being used. Mechanical agitation is required for proper mixing of BAS 516 ST. Prepare no more mixture of BAS 516 ST than is needed for immediate treating. Add 3/4 of the required volume of water to the mix tank. With agitation running, add the required amount of BAS 516 ST in the tank along with other seed treatment components. Add the remaining 1/4 of the required water. Follow the mixing sequence listed below. Agitate thoroughly before and during application. BAS 516 ST With Tank Mix Partners BAS 516 ST mixes easily with water and other water­ based seed treatments manufactured by BASF Corporation. When using BAS 516 ST in a tank mixture with other seed treatment products, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations that appear on the tank mix partner label. No label dosage or application rate should be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations should be followed. BAS 516 ST should not be mixed with any product that prohibits such mixing. All applications should be made according to the use directions. When mixing BAS 516 ST with products from other manufacturers, the compatibility should be tested prior to use by conducting a jar test as follows: 1 . Mix all intended seed treatments with the appropriate amount of water in a clear glass container. 2. Mix well and allow to sit for one hour. 3. Remix and observe for incompatibility. Physical compatibility is only part of compatibility. Testing also needs to be done with the seed to make sure the combination of products does not have detrimental effects on the seed. Tank Mixing Instructions

1. Add 3/4 of the required amount of water to the mix tank and turn on the agitation. Mechanical agitation is pre­ ferred.
2. Follow the following mixing sequence: dye or colorant, wettable powders, soluble powders, flowable formula­ tions, emulsifiable concentrates, and remaining 1/4 of the required water. The 1/4 of the required water as the last item for addition to the premix tank can be used as rinsate for the chemical container or to adjust the total slurry to compensate for water displacement by pow­ dered products.
3. Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been used.
4. Ensure that seed is dry prior to bagging. NOTE: Federal law requires that bags of treated seeds shall be labeled with the following: "This seed has been treated with boscalid and pyraclostrobin fungicides. DO NOT use for food, feed or oil purposes. Store away from food and feedstuffs. Use with an EPA-approved dye that imparts an unnatural color to the seed." 4
