Label
Review Manual
Table of Contents
The Agency is interested in optimizing the usefulness of the Label Review
Manual (LRM) as a tool for understanding the pesticide labeling process. The LRM
is also useful in understanding approaches for how labels should generally be
drafted. As always, the Agency will consider each label on its own merits and
will consider deviations from Agency policy in labeling under the appropriate
provisions of FIFRA and its implementing regulations.
EPA considers this
document to be an instructional aid that does not establish new guidance, but
instead compiles extant interpretations of statutory and regulatory provisions
and reiterates existing Agency policies.
Errors or suggestions for the
LRM can be submitted to the Agency at our Pesticide
Labeling Consistency Web site, Pesticide
Labeling Questions and Answers page.
