Dear Oscar Perez Ovilla:
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable. 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 alternate brand name, “Nuvan ShieldStrips” has been added to the product record.
A stamped copy of your labeling 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 CFR §
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 CFR § 152.3.
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the companys 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 is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to
sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of

statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website
is referenced on your products label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ
from those claims approved through the registration process. 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 website will be referred
to the EPAs Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
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.
