On the basis of information furnished by the registrant, the above named pesticide is hereby registered/reregistered under th~ 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 this Act is not to be construed as giving the registrant a right to exclusive 
use of the name or to its use if it has been covered by others. 
This product is conditionally registered in accordance with FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7)(A). Once a 
pesticide is registered, however, it is not regarded as permanently acceptable. Registration does not 
eliminate the need for continual reassessment of pesticides. If the Agency determines that, at any 
time, additional data are required to maintain in effect an existing registration, the Agency will 
require submission of such data under FIFRA section (3)( c)(2)(B).
