This product is conditionally registered in accordance with 
FIFRA sec. ·3(c}(7} (Al provided that you: 
1. Submit and/or cite all data required for registration of 
your.product under FIFRA sec. 3(c) (5) when the Agencyreqtlires·all 
registrants of similar products to submit such data; and submit 
acceptable responses required for reregistration of your product 
under FIFRA section 4. 
2. Make the following label changes: 
a. Revise the EPA Registration Number to read, "EPA Reg. 
No. 2935-528". 
b. In the Precautionary statements section, delete the text 
which begins, "If the material gets into the eyes •• ," 
ending with " ••• wash skin with soap and water." 
c. In the antidote information, we are unsure if "1 grain 
atropine tablets" are absolutely appropriate. Please 
ensure that this critical information is correct.

3. Submit. five copies of the revised final printed label for 
the record. 
4. The Confidential statement of Formula (CSF) is difficult 
to interpret and indicates that the label claim may not be 
supported. The technical product contains 77\ methyl parathion 
with 3\ related compounds, you cannot split off how much of the 
related compounds you are adding to the mixture. 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. The new CSF or new labels 
must be submitted within 30 days of the date of this notice. 
5. Please note, although we have accepted this labeling, we 
have removed the "Product Bulletin" for the special Local Need in 
Texas (TX-910009). This SLN must be canceled. 
If these conditions are not complied with, the registration 
will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA sec. 6(e) .. 
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of 
these conditions. . 
A stamped copy of the label is enclosed for your records.
