measures and new uses can reach the user more quickly than under the current paperbased system. First, the PR Notice defines te rms used related to web-distributed labeling in this notice. It includ es suggested language that regi strants can use on the labeling affixed to or accompanying the pesticide c ontainer to reference the web-distributed labeling portion of labeling. It recommends content, function, and security for the website associated with a product’s web-di stributed labeling. Fi nally, the PR Notice suggests a process by which registrants can re quest that a product’s labeling include webdistributed labeling 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 decision makers and to pesticide registrants. Wh ile the requirements in the statutes and Agency regulati ons are binding on EPA and the a pplicants, this PR Notice is not binding on either EPA or pesticide re gistrants, and EPA may depart from the guidance where circumstances warrant and w ithout prior notice. Likewise, pesticide registrants may assert that the guidance is not appropr iate generally or not applicable to a specific pesticide or situation. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136-136y.
