The CSF shows that a total of 559.1 pounds of the technical product are being used (545.6 +.13.5), however; these do not support the label claim. If 545.6 pounds of the 77% technical are being' used ina mixture totaling 1000 pounds, the label claim should be 43.04,' Similarly, the label claim for the related compounds should be 1.68\ (13.5 pounds of a 3\ related compound product). You must correct the amount of technical methyl parathion being added to' this mixture so that the label claim is supported, and submit a new CSF, or adjust the label claim and submit new labels.
