{Definitions and standards}

{OSHA definition of "working life" number of years for chronic exposure limits} "The OSH Act requires OSHA to set the standard that most adequately protects employees against harmful workplace exposures for the period of their ‘‘working life’’ (29 U.S.C. 655(b)(5)). OSHA’s longstanding policy is to define ‘‘working life’’ as constituting 45 years; thus, it assumes 45 years of exposure when evaluating the risk of material impairment to health caused by a toxic or hazardous substance."

"Chlorine Dioxide: ...WSs and NTNCWSs must collect daily samples at the entry point to the distribution system and monthly samples in the distribution system.

Explanation of requirements under FIFRA for importing and exporting pesticides.

This Pesticide Registration notice expands the changes to registration that may be made by notification and non-notification, maintains the expedited review of minor formulation changes, and modifies procedures for notifications of antimicrobial products.

{Note: Other guidance on related topic says label should not encourage user to wrap a container.} Acceptable alternative statement for household/domestic use products: "Do not reuse empty container (bottle, can, bucket). Wrap (container) and put in trash."

This Notice is to inform all registrants that the label of all pesticide products must include updated storage and disposal statements. No application for amended registration is required if you use the exact wording contained in this Notice.

{Includes extensive recommendations for use of chlorine dioxide disinfectant.} {Note: 1,000 ppm is for "a chlorine releasing agent's" recommended concentration--NOT chlorine dioxide's (which varies per manufacturer instructions}

"Prohibition of manufacture and sale of certain drugs and cosmetics .From such [date] as may be fixed by the State Government... no person shall himself or by any other person on his behalf (a) [manufacture for sale or for distribution, or sell, or stock or exhibit or offer for sale,] or distribute... any drug which by means of any statement, design or device accompanying it or by any other means, purports or claims [to prevent, cure or mitigate] any such disease or ailment, or to have any such other effect as may be prescribed;" "Inspector may, within the local limits of the area for which he is appointed, [ (a) inspect... require any person to produce any record, register, or other document relating to the manufacture for sale or for distribution, stocking, exhibition for sale, offer for sale or distribution of any drug"

2011 {Specifically addresses medications}

"special circumstances where it is permissible to use a pesticide in a manner for which it is not specifically labeled. These uses include: Applying a pesticide at any dosage, concentration, or frequency less than specified on the label, unless prohibited by the label. However, Section 2(ee) cannot be used to increase the dosage, concentration or frequency of an application..." "FIFRA Section 2(ee) recommendations cannot be used for antimicrobial pesticides targeted against human pathogens. "

"affects persons who distribute, sell, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver any antimicrobial pesticide. If any 'such person makes any claims for an antimicrobial pesticide product, targeted against microbial human pathogens, which differ from those made in conjunction with that product's registration, the EPA will regard that person as having violated section 12(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), even when such claims are for uses allowed by FIFRA section 2(ee)"
