Fast Track Label Acceptable (Highlighted/Indicated Changes) v.20240124 April 2, 2024 Anne Park Regulatory Affairs Manager Bayer Crop Science 800 N Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63167 Subject: Approval of Label Amendment; Only Indicated Changes Reviewed – Adding a restriction for onion/bulb as well as other minor edits. Product Name: 42-S Thiram Fungicide EPA Registration Number: 264-929 Application Date: 3/10/2023 Case Number: 479101 Dear Ms. Park: The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable. However, EPA reviewed only the label changes highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated on the submitted label. Any other changes to the previously approved label that were not clearly highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated in your submission were not reviewed and may form the basis of regulatory and/or enforcement action if later discovered by the Agency. Further, submission of a label amendment application with unidentified changes may be considered a knowing submission of false information to the Agency. This approval does not affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them. The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions Reviewed” and is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 C.F.R. § 152.3.

Page 2 of 2 EPA Reg. No. 264-929 Case Number 479101 Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website contains any false or misleading statement, design, or graphic, the product may be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA Sections 2(q)(1)(A) and 12(a)(1)(E). 40 C.F.R. § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on the product label, claims made as part of the product’s sale or distribution may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration process under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(B). Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the product will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6. If you have any questions, please contact Sayed Islam at 202-566-2796 or at islam.sayed@epa.gov.

USE PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS When using formulations that do not contain dye, to comply with 40 CFR 153.155, all seed treated with an economic poison must b e colored to distinguish and prevent subsequent inadvertent use as a food for man or feed for animals. For Treatment of Coniferous Seed Damping-off protection: Use 2 quarts of 42-S Thiram Fungicide per 100 pounds of seed. Slowly add to the seed while turning in a tumbler such as a concrete mixer. Tumble seed for approximately 2 minutes and then spread coated seed on a screen to dry. For the Treatment of Ornamental Bulbs, Corms and Tubers: Treat any time after drying. Dip in a suspension made by mixing 1-1/2 pints of 42-S Thiram Fungicide in 8 gallons of water. Agi tate the suspension. If bulbs are to be stored, spread out to dry. Bulbs or tubers that are treated with this product must bear distinct labeling that instructs: CAUTION: Treated with thiram. Wear rubber gloves and protective clothing when handling products treated with thiram. Direct exposure to skin may result in severe dermatitis. Cotton Seed: The maximum application rate for cotton seed is 1.6 oz ai/cwt (1,000 ppm). Plant treated cotton seed a minimum of 1 inch deep. Barley Seed: Plant barley seed a minimum of 1 inch deep. Oat Seed: Plant oat seed a minimum of 1 inch deep. Sugar Beet Seed: Plant sugar beet seed a minimum of 1 inch deep. Wheat Seed: Plant wheat seed a minimum of 1 inch deep. Onion Seed: When 1.5 lbs ai/cwt is used, the onion seed must undergo pelletized treatment. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE AS A COMMERCIAL SEED TREATMENT 42-S Thiram Fungicide is a liquid fungicide recommended for the treatment of seeds listed in the following table. Used accordin g to directions, 42-S Thiram Fungicide will usually increase stands and yields by reducing losses from seed decay, damping-off and s eedling blights caused by many seedborne and soilborne organisms. 42-S Thiram Fungicide will usually control covered smuts or bunt of w heat, barley and rye and covered kernel smut of sorghum and will usually prevent basal rot and decay of ornamental bulbs and tubers. 42-S Thiram Fungicide aids in the control of Alternaria and Phoma on canola. 42-S Thiram Fungicide aids in the control of seedborne conidia produced from the honeydew inoculum from field infection of Claviceps africana (ergot) on sorghum seed. For Slurry-Type Treater : 42-S Thiram Fungicide should be applied with water as a suspension in the slurry-type treater specifically designed and approved for this purpose. For Film-Coating Operations : 42-S Thiram Fungicide has demonstrated good to excellent compatibility with most commercial film- coating products. Coating procedures identified by polymer/coating companies and film-coating equipment manufacturers should be followed when preparing coating preparations containing 42-S Thiram Fungicide. If it is desirable to prepare slurries in large containers for addition to the slurry tank, entire contents should be thoroughly agitated before withdrawing any of the slurry.
