On the basis of information furnished by the registrant, the above named pesticide is hereby registered/reregistered under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. Registration is in no way to be construed as an endorsement or recommendation of this product
by the Agency. In order to protect health and the environment, the Administrator, on his motion, may at any time suspend or cancel the
registration of a pesticide in accordance with the Act. The acceptance of any name in connection with the registration of a product under

EPA received a label amendment request submitted by email on August 18, 2011. EPA grants this request
under the authority of section 3(c)(5) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended.
With this accepted labeling, all requirements set forth in the Reregistation Eligibility Decision for Thiram and
the Triadimefon and Tolerance Reassessment for Triadimenol have been satisfied. Therefore, EPA
reregisters the product listed above. This action is taken under the authority of section 4(g)(2)(c) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended. Reregistration under this section does not eliminate
the need for continual reassessment of pesticides. EPA may require submission of data at any time to maintain
