normally implement labeling changes specified in Pesticide Regulation 
(PR) Notices, Federal Register Notices, or other documents. This policy 
is described in a draft PR Notice entitled, ``Coordination of Labeling 
Issues and Changes'' which is available upon request. Interested 
parties may request a copy of the Agency's proposed policy as set forth 
in the ADDRESSES unit of this notice.

DATES: Written comments, identified by the docket number [OPP-00398], 
must be received on or before February 27, 1995.

ADDRESSES: The draft PR Notice is available from Melissa L. Chun, By 
mail: Registration Division (7505W), Office of Pesticide Programs, 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft PR Notice describes the role of 
the Labeling Unit in coordinating the Agency's pesticide labeling 
activities and generally specifies October 1 as the annual compliance 
date for all EPA-initiated label changes designated by FR Notice, PR 
Notice, or other mechanism. The policy outlined in the draft PR Notice 
will help streamline the Agency's processing of labeling changes, 
improve the coordination of EPA's labeling activities and lessen the 
economic impact on registrants of making labeling changes throughout 
the year. This Federal Register notice announces the availability of 
the draft PR Notice and solicits comment on the proposed policy. If, 
after reviewing any comments, EPA determines that changes are 
warranted, the Agency will revise the draft PR Notice prior to release.
