2. You are required to submit to the Agency the following studies by the dates indicated below.

a. Acute oral toxicity to larval honey bees.

b. Chronic oral toxicity to larval honey bees.

c. Chronic oral toxicity to adult honey bees.

Protocols for both of the chronic bee studies must be submitted within 60 days of the 

registration. The deadline for you to submit each of the bee studies is 09/01/18. 

Tier II studies are required if triggered by the Tier I studies listed above. In the event Tier III 

studies are triggered by the Tier II results, they will also be required. If any higher tier 

studies are necessary, you must submit them to EPA within 3 years of notification by the 

agency that such higher tier studies are required. 

d. A controlled water monitoring study to provide further data on the environmental fate of

benzovindiflupyr in the aquatic environment must be submitted to the Agency. A protocol 

must be submitted within 90 days of the registration. A preliminary report must be submitted 

by 12/31/16. An updated report must be submitted by 12/31/17. The completed study must 

be submitted by 09/01/18. If the EPA does not respond to the submitted protocol within 

sixty (60) days of receipt, EPA and the Registrant will discuss and agree to reasonable 

extensions of the dates for submission of the preliminary report and study. 

e. Field study to determine the effectiveness of vegetative filter strips (VFS). The study should

address effectiveness relative to run-off reduction, sediment transport rates and delivery

totals of benzovindiflupyr in water bodies. A protocol must be submitted within 90 days of

the registration. A preliminary report must be submitted by 12/31/16. The deadline for you to

submit the study is 09/01/18. If the EPA does not respond to the submitted protocol within

extensions of the dates for submission of the preliminary report and study.

f. Based on the EPA’s review of the results of the studies in pagragraphs d. and e., EPA may

determine either that the study described in paragraph d. must be extended or that other

studies or monitoring are needed in order to allow the Agency to continue to conclude that

benzovindiflupyr does not pose unreasonable adverse effects on the environment insofar as

aquatic risk are concerned as per the agreement letter of August 28, 2015.

g.In addition to the VFS study, the registrant within one hundred and twenty (120) days of

registration must submit plans for an educational program on VFS. The program will start in

2015. It will include educational resources on best practices for construction and

maintenance of filter strips and information on the effectiveness of vegetative filter strips as

related to their size. The educational resources will be focused on use by landowners and

those leasing land. The resources may be generic (not chemical or product-specific) and will

be developed in collaboration with partners in the Extension, University, State Lead Agency,

and other education communities to meet State and local needs. Copies of all educational

materials must be submitted to the Agency. Additionally, status reports on the materials’

creation, distribution efforts, and any public feedback resulting from trainings/dissemination 

of the materials are required.

azteca. A protocol must be submitted within ninety (90) days of the issuance of the

registration. The deadline for the study is 09/01/17.

If the EPA determines, based on the data submitted pursuant to the conditions in the Notice or on any 

other data or other information received by the Agency, that one or more label revisions are required to 

prevent unreasonable adverse effects on the environment insofar as aquatic risks are concerned, EPA 

may notify the Registrant of the Agency’s determination that identified revisions to the label are 

necessary as per the agreement letter from the Registrant dated August 28, 2015. If labels revisions are 

necessary to mitigate adverse effects, you must incorporate all revisions identified by the Agency and 

submit for approval a revised label within sixty (60) days of the Agency’s notification to you of the need 

for such a revised label. In the event of such a revision, product may not be released for shipment under 

the terms of this registration more than twelve (12) months after the Agency approves such a revised 

label unless the product bears the appropriate revised label.

4. Submit one copy of the final printed label for the record before you release the product for

shipment.

Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be aware 

that with such a reference, the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act 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) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, 

regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may

or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be referred to the 

EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
