3420 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 16, 2013 / Notices 

of WDL versus the current pesticide 

product labeling. 

As considered by EPA, WDL would 

make available via the Internet site- and 

state-specific use directions for 

pesticide products as downloadable 

electronic files. To access this labeling, 

a user would visit the Web site 

identified on the pesticide label, enter 

information identifying the product, and 

select the intended state and use site. 

The Web site would return a 

streamlined version of the pesticide 

labeling containing the language 

applicable to all uses of the product, 

such as hazard statement and first aid, 

and the relevant state/site specific 

directions for use (e.g., application to 

cranberries in Maine). Sufficient 

labeling for the correct use of the 

product would still be available with 

the pesticide either on the container 

label or in accompanying material. 

B. Overview of PR Notice 

This PR Notice provides guidance 

about how EPA intends to implement 

WDL under this system. First, the PR 

Notice defines terms used related to 

WDL in this notice. It includes 

suggested language that registrants can 

use on the labeling affixed to or 

accompanying the pesticide container to 

reference the WDL portion of labeling. 

It recommends content, function, and 

security for the Web site associated with 

a product’s WDL. Finally, the PR Notice 

suggests a process by which registrants 

can request that a product’s labeling 

include WDL and outlines what 

information EPA expects to receive. 

III. Do PR notices contain binding 

requirements? 

The PR Notice discussed in this 

notice is intended to provide guidance 

to EPA personnel and decisionmakers 

and to pesticide registrants. While the 

requirements in the statutes and Agency 

regulations are binding on EPA and the 

applicants, this PR Notice is not binding 

on either EPA or pesticide registrants, 

and EPA may depart from the guidance 

where circumstances warrant and 

without prior notice. Likewise, pesticide 

registrants may assert that the guidance 

is not appropriate generally or not 

applicable to a specific pesticide or 

situation.
