   MEMORANDUM

               SUBJECT:	Request to Waive the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel's Review of the Direct Final Rule and the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, both Entitled "Labeling of Pesticide Products and Devices for Export"

   FROM: 	Laura E. Bailey, Executive Secretary
               FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel

   TO: 	Daniel Schlenk, Ph.D., Chair
               FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel

   Attached is the proposed rulemaking entitled, "Regulation to Clarify Labeling of Pesticides Export" and the final rule entitled, "Labeling of Pesticide Products and Devices for Export; Clarification of Requirements."  EPA is taking direct final rule action to revise the regulations that pertain to labeling of pesticide products and devices intended solely for export. This action will allow placement of the required information on collateral labeling attached to a shipping container of such products rather than on the label of each individual product in such a shipment.

   The FIFRA SAP previously waived its review of both rules because the rules are administrative in nature and do not contain any scientific issues that warrant review by the Panel. The purpose of the attached  revised final rule is to restore the eliminated "supplemental labeling" provision which was inad vertently eliminated from the final rule.

    The Agency requests the FIFRA SAP wai ve review of the final rule since it is administrative in nature and does not contain scientific issues that require the SAP's consideration.  Please indicate your concurrence or non-concurrence with this request and I will notify the Agency accordingly.

    RECOMMENDATION:

    The FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel waives scientific review and comment on the final rule, "Labe ·	of   estici  e Products and Devices for Export; Clarification of Requirements."
