and labeling. The third chapter discusses general label format and
legibility requirements, identifies the major parts of the label and
directs the user to the appropriate chapter which contains additional
information. Other chapters provide the reader with step-by-step
instructions for reviewing a pesticide label and any associated actions
such as the Pesticide Registration Action Tracking System (PRATS)
entries for label reviews and situations where the Confidential
Statement of Formula affects the label language. The last chapter
describes how unique labeling issues are handled.
The Label Review Manual will be updated on an ``as needed'' basis
to reflect new and changing labeling policies.
